Were you in the Venture Scouts? Were you a part of them? If you were, you would know that their official requirements for admitance do not allow homosexuals or atheists. Further, they are subordinate and controlled by the Boy Scouts of America's National Council. They are simply a spin-off...

Wow, I can't believe how many people aren't willing to simply discuss this rather than say it's crap and the thread needs to be closed. One of the best lessons in life can be learned from Thumper in Bambi: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't anything at all."

Venture Scouts are basically a spin-off of the BSA where females are permitted to enroll. Further, they do different activities geared more towards the outdoors than merti badges. I was a member and "Crew Chief" for nearly my entire teenage years. Once again, you are incorrect. The Venture...

Wow, Pesmerga, you really don't have anything else to do. To bad whoever made that can't spell, either. Funny you think they are Delta. I wrote a short story that had the BlackOps as Delta Force--the number and speed of the BlackOps would just about fit the description for Delta, the only...

I played through most of Opposing Force and recall some interesting conversations. First, when Shepard finally makes it back to the crash site of what I assume was the V-22 Osprey "heliplane" aircraft he was aboard, one can hear over a nearby radio (conveninantly and neatly placed on a...

Would this be the very same FOX News that insult the Democrats and openly agreed with a 'consverative' man who wrote a book called "The 100 Worst Americans" about 'liberals' being the worst Americans. This is the very same FOX News that claimed President Bush won California during the 2004...

I'm with you, man, I'm with you, but you get what I mean? If you let matters get on the 'slippery slope', you begin to lose rights and freedoms. That may sound a tad ridiculous, but it truly isn't. Besides, I never claimed to agree with all the laws nor to the fact that I believe they should...

Yes, I heard that too. Something about President Bush saying God told him he would win the elections. And Pat Robertson is the Protestant pope because he said God told him that President Bush would win the elections... Funny, though, had President Bush lost, would Pat Robertson have become an...

The biggest situation I've had with southern accents has been the fact that I cannot understand a word that is being said to me.

I have been deeper south on a few occasions (I'm currently in Georgia for the summer) and have seen more Confederate flags. I just found it a bit odd, was all, because most of those people who fly that particular flag also claim to be patriotic Americans, which to me seems like a paradox...

I was born in Puerto Rico, but have lived over much of the USA. Most of my time has been spent, though, in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and the Fort Campbell area in Kentucky (an hour north of Nashville, TN). To be quite honest, I had never seen any Confederate flags flown until I moved...

I do realize, but I assumed he meant that he was a rebel in reference to the southern United States being rebels in support of the Confederacy. I realize not everyone who flies a Confederate flag still believes this, but if not, then why call themselves a rebel? A Southern rebel? That's what...

When someone says they're a rebel, what does that quite mean? Does that mean you still believe in the Confederate cause? I'm not being sarcastic, but 100% truthful (and, yes, I took note of the winking smiley, but am regardless curious).

Okay, now let's play nice. No need for everyone to start hating each other over a forum conversation. Not to sound like a moderator or anything, but you weren't truly a part of their discussion. Further, by adding your less-than-helpful two cents, you too have contributed to a problem.

Another healthy dose of sarcasm goes over another head. :rolleyes:
