I failed at boy scouts.

From my readings, USPS is kind of like the FED. They enjoy all the benefits of both worlds and none of the negative consequence. They are still under direct government control though, they have to testify before congress all the time about budget matters. 9 of the 11 board members are selected by the president and approved by congress, very different from any other REAL private company in the world. They DO get government assistance regularly, just like the boy scouts do, in the way of tax breaks and other indirect subsidy in ADDITION to direct money injection.

That is the basic run down. I am trying to find out who is financing their debt. I have my money on secret loans from the fed which I will never be able to find via the net. It is possible they have some kind of cash reserve, but I doubt they have something large enough to cover the billions they are hemorrhaging. I shall continue to dig this up. My recent business has gotten more more involved with USPS of late, so the subject has an interest to me

Those pictures just show off the horrors to come... Peace is a terrible thing! What will our brown shirts be called? I thought it was the Boy Scouts.

Has anyone seen my brain? What?

This shouldn't surprise anyone. There are extremists in every group, left, right, middle, Christian, Muslim, vegetarians, etc. I would imagine there are even extremist Boy Scouts.

I did rappeling in Boy Scouts. Tons of fun. You learn to lean back. Then you go down forward. Did all that. Heck, I got Eagle Scout at the end.

So at High School some time later, my P.E. class was doing 'The Tower', which is at one side of the atheltic field. All these jocks who thought they were tough as nails, turned in to cry babies. Rather amusing to watch. I got up there, past all of them, linked up, and just leaned forward and ran down the wall. Got down and climbed back up there. Was rather fun taunting all those jocks for being scared.

After you rappel a 300 foot cliff, that tower, was only 90 feet was like two hops.

One of my friends that did USMC basic said, if I had joined, I would have done pretty well on most things. Alas, being 6'10" tall, I found to my dismay, the US Military's height limit was 6'8". Oh well...

They missed one. Bart joins the Junior Campers, not the Boy Scouts.

These tactics are becoming increasingly common as a way of making all sorts of things more addicitive. Scientology was designed with this in mind ("Level up from OTII to OTIII for only $10,000 of courses!"). Boy scouts have merit badges. Videosift has star-ranks to grind. It increases quantity rather than quality of participation.

It's worth noting that in the US, in numbers we use commas where Europeans use periods, and periods where they use commas.

And considering how hardcore some VW Bus owners are, I do expect more than a few people to want to spring for one. At 129K, it's being priced against RVs and campers that aren't nearly as fuel-efficient (which the economy has hit hard - I had a friend who used to work at an RV assembly plant, but there were big lay offs since demand has just plain died). I'd imagine that the TCO would be less than a similarly equipped RV or camper, making it a wiser long-term investment.

At 69K, you'd still have something you could take camping for a more barebones experience - if you already have good camping gear, you don't really need the extra 60K worth of bells and whistles. (My mom was a girl scout troop leader, and did a TON of camping trips wit her girls over the years - I did boy scouts for a while, and really only learned knot-tying, which my girlfriend appreciates - we camp frequently over the summer at Renaissance Faire events).

I'd expect this to be pretty popular with the Burning Man crowd.

One of the leaders of my Boy Scout troop had one of these (or at least, something very similar; could have been higher quality, but with the same features). It was actually an extremely good knife. Cut through some pretty thick branches.

Prejean can say anything she wants, whenever she wants. However, the organizations she belongs to also have the right to disassociate themselves from her whenever they like. In this case, Trump chose not to exercise that right, but it has nothing to do with her "freedoms". Give me a break.

>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:
Do you also advocate that private organizations such as churches, the boy scouts, and various professional organizations have a "right to dissassociate themselves whenever they like" when applied to gays?



YES!

Get that? That clear enough for you? As long as it is a private organization that is receiving no government funding, they should be allowed to exclude whoever they want, whenever they want, without explanation. As long as they are not fanning the flames of violence, I don't give a rats ass if a church doesn't want to perform a marriage ceremony for a gay couple! WHO THE HELL EVER SAID CHURCHES WOULD BE FORCED TO PERFORM GAY MARRIAGES?!!? I know that's not specifically what you said here, Picklepecker, but you were driving at it, and that ridiculous idea drives me crazy.

If a Mormon was kicked out of the church for supporting gay rights, I wouldn't give a shit. If a Coca-Cola employee was fired for publicly supporting Pepsi, we wouldn't blink an eye. I see no difference.

So please stop pushing those ridiculous blanket statements on everybody who has more intelligence and better defined positions than you.

organizations are not persons, and have no rights

Groups have freedom of speech, can own property, assemble, participate politically, apply for permits, et al... Those are rights.

2)501(3)(c) makes churches and the boy scouts quasi-public entities, they give up some privileges in order to not pay taxes, this does not apply to MAP. Throwing them in shows that you aren't really thinking it through.

It was plain from my quote that I was giving a laundry list of various possiblities. You're the one fixating on one example or another. Regardless, I deduce from your verbose parsing that you feel a 501c entity doesn't have the right to exclude exclude membership, but you think a non-501c should be able to be exclusionary. That's good. We're making some progress.

Prejean is MAPs employee, not just someone who showed up at their event, they have every right to fire her for making PSAs for NOM

I have no problem with MAP booting any contestant they want for any reason they want. Their contest their rules. But apply the rules FAIRLY. If the MAP fires Prejean for speaking out in favor of an 'external group' then they bloody better disqualify ALL contestants who do anything even remotely close to that. That includes speaking for pro-gay groups. The problem neo-libs encounter is that they want to selectively apply the rules so they can discriminate against things they hate, and give a free pass to things they like. I'm not a that big of a douche, so I apply all rules equally.

for hiding the existence of the photos before the pageant, and for not meeting her other contractual obligations as Miss CA.

Deceptive language. Everyone knew about the pics. You can't take those kinds of pics at a shoot with a 17 year old without MAJOR supervision. Saying they were 'hidden' is disingenous. The MAP knew all about them long ago. Not meeting her contractual obligations? Which ones? I heard there was a big group photo shoot she didn't show up for, but it was not one she was 'contractually obligated' to attend. It was an invitation.

To me it seems like you're parsing to the nth degree in an effort to avoid having to conceed your errors. There is nothing bad about being wrong sometimes. But don't rhetorically flail around when you make a mistake.

>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:
Typical cheap, lazy dodge.

1) organizations are not persons, and have no rights, but they do have an obligation to deal fairly, both with their employees, and with the public. You can't open a "no gays" restaurant, but you have the right to leave a restaurant if there are gay people there. Person vs. Business vs. Non-profit are all completely different issues.

2) Applying for 501(3)(c) makes churches and the boy scouts quasi-public entities, they give up some privileges in order to not pay taxes, this does not apply to MAP. Throwing them in shows that you aren't really thinking it through.

3) Prejean is MAPs employee, not just someone who showed up at their event, they have every right to fire her for making PSAs for NOM as Miss CA without their approval, for hiding the existence of the photos before the pageant, and for not meeting her other contractual obligations as Miss CA. MAP still can't decide not to hire black people or gay people, they still must deal fairly with the public.

4) Prejeans gross breach of contract is grounds to fire ANYBODY, the fact that she breached her contract by running around doing a political media blitz is not particularly relevant. She wants to pretend that it's her position, not her actions, which made firing her an option. She wanted to be a martyr, so she did something to get fired, while conflating her misdeeds with her political position. This is all her fault, and she still has not been punished for it, but still stands up and whines about being punished, because the media train wreck is what this is all about, and she does not have the decency, or strength of character to admit her error.
