It was supposed to be a symbol of neutrality to mark the non-combatant status of the medical personnel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus_as_a_symbol_of_medicine Does Ninan know that David kills Goliath?

I...what? Huh? I looked it up: quote:Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced Thursday night that Israel will be exiting the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) over the organization’s anti-Israeli bias, following a similar announcement by the Trump administration. We're against UNESCO now? What? Why?

 Hollywood’s summer box office flopped. Revenues are down nearly 16 percent–a precipitous drop from last year. The NFL ratings are also crashing. “Thursday Night Football” is down 13 percent from last year and fewer fans are attending games. The Emmys ratings have also cratered. What’s causing these declines? It could be that leftist politics are being injected into American entertainment. Hollywood continues to spew out the same politically correct kitsch. Their movies have become too formulaic and repetitive. There are too many comic book movies chalk full of computer graphics showing crass, physics-defying violence. And of course, political correctness is always the number one priority. Then we’re expected to endure condescending lectures about climate change and social justice from the overpaid actors who show up at the Oscars. The NFL’s decline is due to too much political correctness as well as the feminization of men. We are supposed to fret about overpaid athletes getting concussions, which can later lead to permanent brain damage. This used to be part of the game. It has always been violent. Like boxing, such violence is part of the attraction. Don’t want to be punch drunk? Don’t box or play football. It’s their choice and they know the risks. It’s difficult for a lot of ticket buyers to feel sympathy for players who command multi-million dollar contracts and then worry about getting injured. More rules and penalties made the game safer while also rendering it boring. Colin Kaepernick took a knee and began the current national anthem protests. Many players can’t even articulate why they are insulting our country. Maybe something somewhere past present or future is not equal. To them, America is not perfect and must be disrespected until it is. Why can’t they protest on their own time? Last week, a Seattle anthem sitter also gave the black power fist salute after making a tackle. It’s now on the field. Sure, it’s his free speech, but it’s our free speech to speak out against it and stop supporting the NFL. If they can dole out fines for those giving the finger to the crowd or making lewd dances after a score, they can certainly hand out stiff fines to the sitters. The latest Emmy award show hit a new low when they devolved into a Trump hate fest. No matter what size screen, the lefty actors seem to think we’re fascinated by their Trump bashing. It has become both tiresome and predictable. We’ve been seeing Silicon Valley and social media companies try to excoriate conservative voices from the Internet. The big money media and entertainment arms are starting to lose revenue, subscribers and viewers. They’ve long been accustomed to controlling the levers of our culture, but now they’re pushing those levers even more vigorously and blatantly toward collectivism. Americans can boycott and stop participating. —Ben Garrison

Jesus christ this boy scout thing is a wonderful way of revealing which cartoonists don't actually read the loving news and just draw the first kneejerk reaction that comes to mind. This has nothing to do with gender identity. They are just creating all-girl dens and a program equivalent to Boy Scouts for girls in 2019. There's not going to be mixed-gender dens or troops. There will not be "girl boy scouts." It'll be a different thing with a similar advancement route to Eagle. Holy poo poo take five minutes to do some research, you lazy fucks.

Cythereal posted:My troop was nothing of the sort and there was an awful lot of high school experimentation. The adults wrote it off as boys being boys. In my troop it was more a case of how much the other members could gently caress each other over in the most painful way possible. It slowed down after several people went to the hospital and became more a game of "what will burn if the fire is hot enough".

"Many players" says Garrison. Let's zoom in here. It may even be true; some will be kneeling more in solidarity with their better-informed teammates than in active self-driven protest. Plus there's the brain injuries Garrison is quick to underestimate. Fine. I'll give him that. Note that the word he chose is the indistinct "many." If it were a majority he'd use the more precise "most." "Most" has a power to it that "many" never will. Even by his own narrative this means most can and many do, but he's not going to talk about them, or what they're saying, because it's inconvenient for his main point, which is "free speech hurts my tender snowflake fee-fees and I don't want to hear anything I don't already agree with anymore." Sorry about losing your safe space, loser. Welcome to the real world.

The Boy Scouts of America should be so lucky as to be absorbed by the girl scouts, actually letting boys hang out with girls their age, selling the poo poo people actually want in raking in that cookie money and yes, letting trans individuals coexist among boys and girls. I don't understand the crying about that particular idea that if the boyscouts merged with the girls, they'd have to wear skirts.

It's the conservative mindset that men must have man-space apart from women or else become castrated incompetents. In reality, boys do better with girls around because it improves their social skills, while girls do worse with boys around because they have to contend with sexism.

I was in the boy scouts in Canada and one of our troop leaders was a woman and there was no creepy religious stuff or sex things. Just setting things on fire in the woods  I understand that most countries beyond the USA also have similar mixed-gender youth programs, where it might be a little paramilitary but it's not got the weird vibe that people get from the Boy Scouts of America. Dunno where the BSA lost their way.

Incidentally, this is exactly why homosexual activity (though not homosexuality as an identity) is relatively common in Muslim-dominated regions, especially among men. When your culture all but completely forbids interacting with the opposite sex outside of making babies with your spouse, all your close and intimate relationships will naturally be with the same sex.

As far as the BSA leadership is concerned it was your troop leader that lost their way not them. Or maybe canadian boy scouts dont have all that weird religious baggage

For people not in the USA or familiar with scouting: the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are two wholly separate entities. That is typically why the Girl Scouts have, historically, been more progressive than their counterparts, as the Girl Scouts are not beholden to the Mormon Church like the BSA. The Girl Scouts are actually not happy with this move since it would potentially take girls away from their organization.

Yeah you can't actually merge the Boy/Girl scouts in America because they're completely different organizations. The girl scouts have the temerity to support women's rights and women's health issues which makes them antithetical to the boy scouts. I remember my grandma, who was hyper-catholic, refusing to buy my cookies because in her eyes the money funded abortions.

When I was in the boy scouts, all I knew re: Mormons and the BSA was that Mormons had de facto separate troops and they were either really lax or really gung-ho about badge acquisition because every camp I went to, the kids in the Mormon troops always had fucktons more badges than anyone else.

In a better world the boy scouts would be disbanded for being a blatantly religious organization that gets to use public buildings for meetings, and its members would all join the girl scouts. They have the Gold Award, which is functionally equivalent to Eagle but ~*for some strange reason*~ has never had the sort of post-scouting oomph that Eagle does.

I have heard it posited that part of why this is happening is to give reactionaries an alternative to those nasty feminist lesbos in the Girl Scouts, but also that the Mormon Church isn't happy about it for violating the gender barrier, so I dunno?

Girl Scouts have the Gold Award which has similar requirements and prestige among institutions that recognize achievements within girls/women's organizations. I'll let you figure out how common that is.
