Disney had the right to do that just as the BSA had the right to exclude homosexuals based on religious grounds.


Yep.

theunknownknight - what do you have against people wanting their young boys to be mentored by only men who hold a traditional, biblical view of love and marriage?


Nothing

Why are you calling me out? I'm confused.

I got no problems with Disney pulling funds but what they are doing is kinda slimy.. If I volunteer and choose the donatation destination, then it should go to whichever one I choose as long as it's in good standing with the government.. If some guy wants his money going to an Acorn style charity..so be it.

Yeah, but it's the employees donating their time.

Fwiw if an employee wanted to donate to planned parenthood I'd be okay with it, even though I think it's an evil organization.

They are pulling money because you can't get a electric wheel chair badge.

All those able body walking scouts are bad for the parks image.

I think we're missing something here fella:

quote:

Disney does not give money directly to the national organization or local BSA councils. However, through its VoluntEARS program, Disney allows employees to do volunteer work in exchange for cash donations to the charities of their choice.


So I volunteer my time for money to donate to my favorite charity - as long as Disney says it's on their list?

And Disney's money to match the volunteer time.

Lol who downvoted me for that?
I gave you one of those. Simply because I disagree with your position that a company making a calculated business decision meant garner publicity in the pursuit of optimal profits is equivalent to them "being a major self-righteous bitch".

I just fundamentally disagree with your statement. Which is obviously ok, we don't need to have the same perspective. But it does seem odd to me that you are surprised that there are other people who happen to disagree with your view of the world.

Won't matter. If gays were allowed, there wouldn't be many Boy Scouts by 2015 left anyway.

Too many parents afraid it would become a pedo breeding-ground


yeah BSA should continue to follow the sterling example of other anti-gay institutes. Like the Catholic Church

Please, dude .... Anti-gay is not the preferred nomenclature. Pro-procreation, please.

That way... Also support people who stutter.... Assuming they are straight, of course.

You and navy are both so tiresome. Maybe the BSA should just have sodomy retreats. Would that make you happy? Wheeee!

Disney is sooooooo successful influencing its child stars to grow up and become well-adjusted adults.

It uses people like tissue, wads 'em up and tosses them away.

frick them. The assholes have fig day and don't tell unsuspecting people about it so they can go frick themselves. Their shite is tired anyway.
