Default Buy Lots of Girl Scout Cookies.

So a bunch of conservative bigots are now taking aim at the Girl Scouts, trying to say that it's filled with liberals indoctrinating and corrupting our youth by <horror!> educating them about sex, allowing transgendered scouts, and so forth... and they are calling for a boycott of Girl Scout Cookies.

Here's the crap they are circulating:

I propose that people spread the word to buy MORE Girl Scout Cookies than ever before, and those who support the messages of inclusion and equality that the Girl Scouts are sending out, but have never bought Girl Scout cookies before, consider buying a box or three

not that I support the homoerotic strangluation of women in music videos... but ever since snooty-mc-shits-on-what-it-means-to-be-a-girl-scout told us to boycott girl scout cookies because she is a transphobic, idiotic mouth breather, I have decided to buy twice as many girl scout cookies this year in protest of anti-girl scout protests.

there is a thread in this same forum that has boycott girl scout cookies in the title. it will link you to her video where she is angry that the girl scouts allow transgendered children.

I remember when I first saw this picture, my reaction was, "...so, you want me to buy more of their cookies? Because that's what I'm getting from this." I can't wait for them to come to our campus again. I'm going to walk in there and be like, "I would like to buy ALL of your thin mints!"

You people need to make up your friggin minds.

First you want to boycott the Girl Scouts because they...i don't know...didn't applaud when you walked in the room or whatever...

Now you want to completely "gobble them up" for lack of a better phrase.

Choose one path and stick with it..Jesus it's like a tennis match in here sometimes.

But you know..all that doesn't matter...because the Alabama Crimson Tide won their 14th National Football Championship...so all is right in the world.

Roll Tide.

Default Re: Buy Lots of Girl Scout Cookies.

wait... so in both girl scout threads, we are supportive of the girl scouts for the good they do, and for also being inclusive, and allowing transgendered girls to participate, helping to ease the struggles transgendered children face when trying to be who they are...

and that means we hate the girl scouts?

I don't remeber seeing anyone attacking the girl scout organization in this forums, RedState.

Did people here really suggest boycotting the Girl Scouts? They've always been a pretty progressive organization as far as human rights and I can't remember anyone credible (other than the religious crazies) calling for boycotts of them in the past.

But... about this applauding business, they've *always* applauded when I walk in the room so I don't know what that's about

I do believe it was the Boy Scouts people were protesting. Not the Girl Scouts.

yah, well when you look into the organization, it does not take long to find much about the Boy Scouts of America to criticize.

The only criticizem I have for the Girl Scouts is that cookie time is too short. it tends to be a month long. But then again, if the cookies were out year round, or even for half a year, then they would not be as special, and the girls would probably not make as much for their troops, so I guess I will suffering with dignity when my thin mints and trefoils run out.

I'd buy tons of cookies if I was in the US.

I love cookies. Even more than cocks.

>>>They've always applauded when I walk in the room

I'm glad to see that someone other than me has that effect on a room

And perhaps I misread...but I was simply recalling some thread about boycotting them. Apologies if that was not what it was about.

Default Re: Buy Lots of Girl Scout Cookies.

my area starts selling girl scout cookies on febuary 17th. Cant wait. I hope that they get the lemonade cookies in, or the savannah smiles (those are coming out just this year, and they are delicious. my aunt brought her sample boxes she got for overseeing the cookie sales for her area. we enjoyed them for thanksgiving).

my grandmother gave me a box of thin mints that were in her freezer, and im trying to make them last till then.
