About those anti-aviatoin newsgroups

As I read this thread it seems that Gays do not check their mags at
the same RPM as Straights? (on thread)

Before the posters come to blows, I'd suggest the thread be moved to a
'gay' site where it can be argued to eternity.

My personal feelings about the matter is that any private organization
should be able to discriminate against any group that it wishes for any
reason.

I agree with you there. However:

* The BSA should not enjoy preferential treatment or be granted any sort
of government support. As a private organization, they should be
self-sufficient if they wish to discriminate.

* As a former scout myself, I look forward to a day when in good
conscience allow my own son to participate in the BSA. The BSA has a lot of
great things to offer. I will continue to be vocal in my desire for the BSA
to change their policy, for this reason. Will I ask the government to force
a change? No, absolutely not. But if the change happens from within, as a
result of pressure from without, I see nothing wrong with that.

In other words, the BSA should be permitted to do what they feel is best.
However, they should not be surprised when they receive social criticism.

But we aren't gay, we are straight.

But you are attracting Gays and the tenor of the posts is changing.
None of the posts now have anything to do with aviation or the
aircraft noise factor thread it started out about.

I do a lot of posting off thread but 'most' of these posts are about
my life with heavy iron and places where I flew and the surroundings,
etc. A few, like this one, could be considered a "net nanny" post I
guess, which is not good. I therefore apologize before I get taken to
the cleaners. G

I just looked at the rec.scouting.usa group on Google and saw one,
maybe two, of the most recent 50 threads related to issues of sexual
orientation. The rest, to my inexperienced eye, seemed related to
other topics relevant to scouting. The group doesn't appear useless,
for discussing scouting, to me.

We should be cautious about posting anything on these news groups. There is
no way of convincing the mentally ill that airplanes are not a threat to
them, so arguing with them is futile. At worst, somebody in these groups
could find out about the rec.aviation news groups. This is a serious matter.
rec.scouting.usa, for example, has been completely hijacked by heterophobes
and is virtually useless for discussing Scouting. We would not want that to
happen here.
