We must ban your :elmofire: treats to prevent forest fires, pollution, lung cancer, other lung damage, littering, and injury.

The power company's malfunctioning equipment that starts 80% of forest fires, the cars that produce 75% of the pollution, the cigarettes that cause 90% of the lung cancer, the COVID giving everyone lung damage, the fast food packaging and vapes that make up almost all litter are all fine though. Tragic about those 5 people per year who get a booboo from forest fire embers, though.

    Big law suit, lots of money, low enrollment, still nationally stronger than the girl scouts.:amerikkka-clap:

    Most of the molestation was in the eighties, kids are significantly more likely to get molested playing any sport. Or at home.

      Are you...defending the Boy Scouts? You know they were founded as a fascist organization to funnel young boys into the military, right?

        First off, I'll always defend against false charges. Secondarily, in the US it was mainly founded so city kids could get access to nature and outdoor skills. There was a ton of native American appropriation and jingoism too, but I can't dis the idea of getting people out having fun in nature. American public schools were founded to support factory owners, but I doubt you're against them.

          Order of the Arrow was so fucking cringe, but BSA was genuinely like the best part of my childhood. Teaching kids to love nature in a sustainable way is good.

            We do not talk about OA. But yeah, it was a big part of my childhood and really gave me a lot of skills I use every day. And I love going out into the woods.
