Would it be okay if a place said that you are not allowed in if your IQ is below a specific number or if you did not leave high school with above a 3.0 gpa?

Ironically....... This is the "dumbest" argument I have heard all day.

I agree, it's pretty F**kin" stupid BUT I fail to see how it is any "dumber" than someone saying that a gay person should not be allowed in. Care to enlighten me?

Just cant believe that being a homosexual is such a big deal to people. I honestly feel sorry for you. Surely ignorance isnt that blissful?
We go over this all the time, there is nothing unnatural about being gay. That's a fact. Scientific. Proven. Historically proven. Its a valid sexual orientation, always had been. It wasn't just suddenly invented and thrusted into society (no pun intended)
People are gay, Get over it.

They are their own private group, they should be able to do whatever they want. What I want to know is why do gays want to join an organization that hates them?
If there was a group that didn't allow me in for the lifestyle i choose then i would not want to be a part of that.
People need think about these things and choose their battles. I don't think blacks are raising a fuss about not being allowed in the KKK.

Black is skin color, a race of people who have rich heritage and culture and also unfortunately a tragic past of being exploited and mistreated in this country. You can not compare skin color with sexual preference. I'n my opinion, it's not even remotely close to the same thing.

All moot.
This isn't a homosexual issue, although, the LBGT community would like it to be.
This is a liability issue. A massive liability issue. A massive liability issue that the Scouts have zero chance of controlling.
Who is going to pay the price of the lawsuits when a homosexual boy is bullied, beaten, and possibly permanently damaged?
The kids? Hardly, they are all under age and you will be extremely hard pressed to get a confession...The kid's parents? Not unless you can criminally charge one of the kids...so that leaves who?
The Scouts.
They know what happens at camp. They know that as soon as it is 'lights out', control is more of a suggestion than a rule. They have a pretty darn good idea of what is going to happen, and who will pay the price.
I don't know about the rest of you, but any camp I have ever been to has been one camp by day, and one by night.
Unfortunately, the Scouts are making the best decision for the Scouts. Will that piss people off? Certainly. Does that change the fact that it is the best decision for the Scouts? Not at all.

Please re-read the first sentence and tell me how that doesn't also apply to gay people.
Probably the biggest logical fail I've seen so far on ATS; it's an intellectual tragedy that you're getting stars for it.

The only intellectual tragedy fail here is whoever or whatever taught you to think that sexual preference is the same thing as being black in America. Astounding and quite honestly, ridiculous.
