SeattlePioneer 144 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yes, I would compare the issue to those subject to the draft during the Vietnam War. Those who chose to burn their draft cards made a showy but empty gesture. Those that chose to go to prison, or even leave for Canada to avoid being drafted were making a pretty profound moral statement. They were being counted. In the same way, a person returning Scouting awards to BSA to protest the gay issue should be respected for taking a moral position and should be treated as a serious person, in my view. Expunging their record of membership in an organization they no longer wish to be associated with is a way to treat them decently and honestly, in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Actually Bando, I don't even try about half the time anymore. But the rest of the forum seems to think its "cute" or something. Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I've never asked Beav, but I think he has his word processor set to auto-correct "the" to "da" and "you" to "yeh" I just hope he uses a different program when he prepares those legal briefs... Link to post Share on other sites
