Homoerotic? Aren't those cards usually designed for women? No matter...good for you for taking it the way you did.

As for boy scouts, well, isn't it supposed to be fun? I'm all for staying power (maybe that didn't come out right...damn...this just gets worse)...but if it's something that's a hobby, you shouldn't feel so driven. It's not like a math class, it's just a club. If you went to a party and it sucked, would you feel that you had to stay to the end just to avoid being a quitter?

Well, to me, they are homoerotic. I hope I get some of those for my birthday once I'm officially "out".

Also, I wouldn't stay at a sucky party, but that's because you get nothing out of staying at the sucky party. Being an Eagle Scout looks really good on college applications, job applications, and many other things. So it's the fact that I'll get something out of it that makes me too damn stubborn to quit. And no, it's not very fun.

Having stuck it out this far, at least get your 12th eagle-qualifying badge & eagle scout status before ditching. You said it would only be for a couple more months, and attaining a well-recognized rank would be evidence of in-depth accomplishment, ability to advance through the ranks, etc. etc. etc.. Stuff like that is great on college applications.

Edit: Nevermind.

HI u r r poppa was a eagle scout n when my bro got his eagle scout poppa gave him his medal at his party thingee. Hear is a huggle 4 u

Looking good on college and job applications...that's a fallacy. Don't buy it.

First of all, most colleges aren't thrilled with the Boy Scouts because of their discriminatory attitudes. Second, most businesses don't really look at that either.

I bet you heard that from the Boy Scouts themselves, didn't you? Masters of their own propaganda.

A few are. Most I've seen seem to go out of their way not to imply any gender of the recipient. The makers most likely realize that they sell more cards that way. And the stores don't have to have a gay section for greeting cards and get picketed, or else not sell the cards.
