When they get done patting themselves on the back for putting lesbians in management positions, espousing a load of feminist/communist tripe and abandoning their founding principles, maybe they’ll take stock of their circumstances.

Driving it into the ground is the whole point.

They are trying to do it to the boy scouts too.

I just put my foot down with three women who were members of the leadership committee of our troop, and they couldn't get along. It was two against one. I told them that we were trying to raise MEN, SOLDIERS, AND CITIZENS - IN THAT ORDER, and that if one goes they all go. That this is a younger version of the VFW, (very few women). You should have seen the looks on their faces. Priceless. I grew up as a scout and the leaders were all WW2 and Korea vets.

Overwhelmingly white :-)

If you think about it, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts were the first Big Data mining projects... complete canvassing of every normal family neighborhood in the US .... data on where to bring in the wrecking balls.

Ehhh... I don’t agree. Keep in mind that the Girl Scouts’ membership peaked as recently as 2003.

[txhurl]

Wow, who got zotted?

And may I suggest some more candidates?

[Navy Patriot]

Maybe the new attitude isn't helping,...

[Jack Hydrazine]

I did!

And I don’t know why.

[txhurl]

I’ve already forgotten what you said, but probably someone hit report on you.

OK, who did it and why?

[longfellowsmuse]

Perhaps the masses have caught on that the only reason for the girl scouts to exist is to fund the salaries of the CEO’s with cookie money.

With radical “leadership,” they’ll never connect Cause with Effect.

Indeed. Or if they connect it, they don't care. They look down on the rubes anyway, and their ideology will get more concentrated as their little pool evaporates further.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

and our membership is soaring... Praise God.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Never thought about it that way.

Maybe they ran out of Abortion Merit Badges and the girls and their mommies got ticked off.

[txhurl]

I hit report abuse on myself the other night, to draw attention to an obnoxious poster, and got myself banned for a few hours.

[txhurl]

And also the Title has changed to include a 50byte elipsis...
WTH is going on?

[Lorianne]

Oh I don’t know. I heard Earth Shoes are back in style.

[txhurl]

Why all the elipsis change to thread title and the zotting of Jack Hydrazine?

[dfwgator]

I suspect the Boy Scouts are losing similar numbers.
