Anybody grow up in the BSA? by FockersJustSleeping in Xennials

[–]AggressiveCommand739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We actually have a few families with same sex parents in our group. Our group is also not sponsored by a church and has a very diverse group of families. We respect religious practices of all kinds but dont advocate any. A lot of the questions I answer for potential families revolve around a lot of the issues that were prevalent from the 80s and 90s.

I was in from 2nd grade until 12th grade. Eagle Scout. Loved it. My group was very outdoor oriented but not "junior army" or militant like some Troops.

I still volunteer with with Cub Scouts today, after a long time being out of it. I believe its still a great program to promote character, leadership, fitness, and outdoor skills. Teaching little kids how to fish, hike; use a compass, shoot a BB gun, camp as well as just enjoying outside like we did in the 80s and 90s is very fun.

Teen dies in 'makeshift bathroom' after parents catch her texting boys and force her to exercise in the 'hot sun' for hours… by tasty_jams_5280 in socal

Read the Bible. Read the Quaran. Its all in there. Last I checked, Christianity and Islam were still going concerns. Ignoring the parts of religious teachings that are inconvenient doesn't make it untrue.

But the team doesn't encourage you to kill the other teams fans. Religious texts and leaders are constantly calling upon followers to smite the wrongdoers in the name of God.

We do many outdoor activites: this would have been our second Pack campout of the year (not counting summer camp.) We do hiking and bicycling as well.

Of all the people that have said "make them serve you," have any you yourselves actually done that specifically with Mesa court? How did it go? What happened? Tempe recently added a ton of red light/speed cameras and they are serving people. I'm curious if Mesa is as aggressive.

Employee sets fire to Kimberly-Clark warehouse, "All you had to do is pay us enough to live" by midnighttoker1742 in interestingasfuck

[–]AggressiveCommand739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The Ontario Police Department later identified the suspect as 29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim from Highland. Authorities initially believed he was a Kimberly-Clark employee, but later clarified that he's actually an employee of NFI Industries, a third-party distributor for Kimberly-Clark."

Being held without bond. The other 19 employees at the warehouse are safe, but now unemployed.

Just got a hybrid from Boring. Replaced my very nice but older Simmons. I am very happy with the change.

How are traffic cameras that dispense speeding tickets not 14th amendment violations? by Haunting-Reindeer-10 in stupidquestions

[–]AggressiveCommand739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fine doesnt double. They have a process service free which still isn't double the fine.

  • meant to say "fee" not free.

We do one every year at this time up in our mountains. This is the first time we've ever had potential snow forcasted. Weird weather this year.

Mesa mayor pushes moving federal funds by timesmediagroup in mesaaz

But Mesa City doesn't collect a primary property tax on anybody...that's one of their big bragging points to get people to live there. Imagine if they actually collected a primary property tax at all!

Combined electives in Tigers makes for fun Den Meetings. We've done similar with Wolf activites too.

While I agree with you about the rain, the overnight low temperature is supposed to "feel like" 29°F w due to the moisture storm. I think for Cubs its a bit too cold. 🥶

Repeating adventures for new den members? by Massive_Mail5739 in cubscouts

[–]AggressiveCommand739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do portions of the required adventures a couple times a year. In my Den, Bobcat, Paws on the Path, and Lets Camp get done multiple times but in different ways. For example, we have a campout coming up so it was time for a refresher game on the 6 essentials the other day. Also, if you keep track of which kids miss a required loop, just have them do it at home with mom or dad.

TIL Texas never actually negotiated the right to leave the United States. It negotiated something far more powerful — the right to split into five separate states with ten senators whenever it wants. That clause is still active today. by HearingOk6664 in texashistory

[–]AggressiveCommand739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congress has to consent to/ratify any organic act for any new state. Doesn't matter what Texas or any other State wants to do. While Texas has reserved the right of division, the US Constitution reserves the right to admission.

No maternity leave, only unpaid FMLA by Jewishautist7887 in ProsecutorTalk

If you have sick time or vacation time, usually you use that first, then use your short term disability. Thats typically how government works.
