re: Almost 90,000 sex abuse claims filed in Boy Scouts bankruptcy

Wow it's almost like people are incentivized to lie in order to get paid.

I should not have found that funny but I did.

Please don’t tell me you were a Boy Scout

Former Boy Scout here.

Now, they can't even be bothered to enforce the words in its name; the sooner it dies, the better.

I should have added more context.. I obviously would love to have a family just as much as the next baw. However, raising kids in a world basically ruled by censor crazy extreme left wing freak elite child pedophile sex cultists does not appeal to me. It also seems to be getting worse with time.. church, school, sports, etc. With predators hiding in plain sight it freaks me out how little faith and trust I have in humans. No matter how many good people are in this world for the better an equal (seemingly more with each passing day) amount of evil people exist that wish to do harm to the innocent with perverse unspeakable acts. Why bring new spiritual life into this world if it’s just going to be (potentially) destroyed in the worst possible way imaginable.

Heres an idea people. Why don't you take your own son out into the wilderness and teach him everything he would learn in boy scouts. That way you don't have to leave your son venerable to sexual predators alone in the woods.

When I was a kid, it seemed like I had a sense for clubs and/or organizations that are now being accused of sex abuse, etc.

That’s a helluva skill to have OweO

Imagine the number of claims if a law firm would advertise incessantly about being able to sue churches.
People would be scammers to no end. 99% of claims would be completely baseless, yet unprovable either way.

Mostly priest unfortunately. My dad told me a story once about some things that were sketchy. He never told anyone at the time.

My dad was right! When a young Yekindewit asked to join the Boy Scouts in my little town on the Mississippi River, dad said, “Hmmmmmmm, I don’t think so.” If was as if he knew there were phroots leading the boys into the woods. Thanks dad 52 years after my 13 year old self inquired about the BSA membership.
