Or giving them candy every time they say something you want them to say. My kid would swear he was King Tut if I gave him a three pound bag of Snickers.

Can confirm. Have two toddlers, both with noses. Fingers? In the noses. Constantly.
Some of the techniques for interviewing children from that time are so laughable. Like giving little kids naked dolls with exaggerated orifices and assuming that sticking fingers in the holes indicated abuse. Like had they met a toddler? Give a toddler something with an obvious hole and they will stick a finger in it
Another reminder of who the REAL psychopathic monster of the Old Testament Bible was.
Indeed! It really showed how much these people cared about punishing others compared to helping children when it was discovered the Catholic church was actually a giant child rape ring and everyone kinda shrugged and ignored it.
I have actually been called a satanist multiple times but crazy christian people who just don’t agree with my life/religion/choices/art/whatever.
I’ve had a rough week on top of our whole “The US is flaming garbage” thing. Last night I watched videos of pygmy goats and today I’m learning about quokkas. (My friend is really, really trying to bribe me to visit her in Western Australia.) Baby animal videos. It’s a coping skill.
I wish there were still Camp Fire troops in my area. My kids go to sleepaway camp at a local Camp Fire camp and they love it. Wo He Lo. I enjoyed being a Bluebird and don’t want to have my atheist nonhomophobic boys join BSA. I tried to start an alternative troop with another parent but we weren’t able to get…
Those poor people! There was such a rash of Satanic Hysteria going on in this country- the Mc Martin School case, the West Memphis Three boys, so many more. And I’m pissed off that those young men lost 18 years of their lives and were essentially blackmailed into taking Alford pleas, so they couldn’t come back and…
She is a beacon of light in trying times
Same! I’ve been in town for 5 years now, and enjoying the programming at Cinefamily — which really has often been some of the best and most unusual underground stuff you can find — was one of the first cool things I learned to do in the city. It feels like the end of an era, as I cannot imagine going back until they…
Also, the Boy Scouts are a christian organization and the Girl Scouts are secular. The Boys Scouts have policies that actually prohibit Atheists and Agnostics.
Mutual respect isn’t hard, it can be transmitted to young people and they can learn.
True stuff. I attended a women’s college during its transition to being co-ed and the difference in classroom dynamics before and after the men arrived was jaw-dropping.
They need to be separate.
Yeah I really don’t think joining forces is the best idea because you know that means it’s going to be boys/men rule all and be less progressive as the girl scouts.
really wanted my sons to be Girl Scouts because they are cutting edge - supporting trans folks, no problem with LGBTQ folks etc. And they camp and do all that stuff too.
No shit they are beefing.
In the documentary Bloods v Crips one of the most interesting parts was that was discussed about the origins, were that young blacks were turned away from joining the boy Scouts because of their ethnicity, and subsequently started their own neighborhood gangs, which eventually morphed in to, well, Bloods and Crips.…
