United Way continues to dump Boy Scouts

[SarasotaRepub]

Like a lot of people have mentioned, I stopped giving to the United Way a long time ago.

After this post, that would not be my assessment of you.

I would point out to you that if you think that the state shouldn't permit same-sex marriage, then what exactly would you tell a 13 year old gay kid? You can't tell him to save himself for marriage. So you see that it's people like you who erode the fabric of society, not the gay kid who just wants to be himself and have a good life.

You tell him that being gay is sick and perverted and then you get him some counseling with a good, conservative minister.

It's you libtards and perverts that are eroding the fabric of society.

You really are a peice of work.

I don't fit into your liberal/socialist/marxist/gay construct and that frightens you.

I added the Red Cross and Salvation Army to my list today. I added them in light of Hurricane Sandy.

The Salvation Army is always a good cause. They have little overhead and they pay their staff next to nothing, because they are committed to their work, not the pay.


I know that gay groups have issues with the SA, because they won't hire openly gay people to work for them. Yet, I have not heard of the SA treating gay people badly who come for help, nor have I heard of them denying services to someone who is gay. They might turn a gay couple or a single person of any sexual preference away from their shelter if their shelter is one for families, but I'll bet they'd find a shelter for the person who didn't specialize in families. There are good legal reasons for separating single homeless individuals from families in the shelter setting, separate from sexual orientation.

What Nova seems to be avoiding is that the edicts of evolution dictate that in the natural order of things organisms should procreate to increase and improve their species. Homosexuality stands in violation of this natural order in that homosexuals, when being true to the nature that they claim is embedded at birth , can not procreate and will eventually die without passing on their genetic code.

I've always thought that homosexuality was nature's way of saying "okay, okay... you've been fruitful and multiplied... now enough already."

Plenty of strange things happen to mammals (and gender) when you place them in enclosed, high density spaces.

After reading this -> http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-516700.html <- I took The Red Cross out of my charity fund.

I added the 'March of Dimes' to my charity list today.

Dude, united way is a joke, I've read charity watch websites that say they only spend like fractions of a dollar for each donation to actual charities, the rest goes to "administrative costs".

I am here by dropping United Way from my charity fund.... Good-Bye, chumps.

The Combined Federal Campaign lists the charities and the percentage that goes to charity vs administrative costs. It is very usful when deciding who is the best steward of your gift.
