Well, with my history of more than 20,700 brilliant FR posts, I suppose I can live with having one or two that you find "least intelligent."
Nevertheles, my tenure as a Cub Scout precedes your oldest Bear book by almost a decade.
I and all of my peers were playing unsupervised mublety-peg with scout knives since before I was a Cub Scout. It's possible after all these years that my memory is a bit faded in terms of whether I needed to prove my ability to handle a jack knife at a level that met Cub Scout standards when I finally became a Bear cub. But I doubt it.
I'm pretty sure that the only thing that needed to happen for me to have a jack knife was for my mom to buy me one when she bought me my first Cub Scout uniform. Actually, I already had one by that time.
In any case, this entire thread about no water pistol fights is sufficient to demonstrate that the Scouts have deteriorated quite a bit since I was a red-blooded American boy.
Still, whether or not my memory is a bit faulty, might I suggest that with all the money you make for a living, perhaps you might consider purchasing a long course of therapy to help you deal with the unresolved issues that undoubtedly lie at root of your uncalled-for hostility, your appalling rudeness, your insufferable arrogance and your wildly elevated sense of superiority.
Nice mid-life crisis car, by the way.
You too have a lot to learn about manners.
Too bad you have to resort to calling boys working into manhood a bunch of pussies because of some arcane rule change.
And too bad that you are so old that you can’t remember things so you have to resort to making things up and calling them facts.
I was merely disappointed with you. My anger and hostility are toward the morons on this site that have their facts completely wrong about gays in Scouting.
Many know they are wrong while they write their rubbish, you are just a forgetful old man.
