It baffles me how people are suddenly ok with faggotry when it involves 2 girls instead of 2 men.

Uh... I happen to be fine with both, and have participated in the latter, thank you very much. Not everyone is hypocritical when it comes to homosexuality, you know...

Also, no need for "Faggotry". Besides the fact that its rude, its not even a word.

*sigh* Every thread is the same thing. I thought this was going to be some humorous story about drug-laced cookies or something.

What's really funny though is that I have not attempted to tie this in with the whole of the Republican party, nor have I attempted to steer conversation to that, I simply found a rather funny comment by a man running for political office and I knew would tickle the funny bones of NSG given it addresses, as GnI put it, the holy marriage of cookies and girl on girl.

In other words... would you like some cement for that chip?

Interestingly, my mom was a Boy Scout in the US back in the 50s and 60s...she had 4 brothers, her dad was a scout leader, and so she was a scout. Left before Eagle for the Masons, but then, so did her brothers.

I wonder if such things still happen or not.

I was an unoffical Girl Scout for a while. My sister joined them like ten years ago, and our mom became a troop leader. Thus, I ended up going along as I couldn't just stay at home alone at that age.

They be heaven. I miss them AND thin mints (Which, when my sister was a Girl Scout, I would eat by the boxful). Alas, the Scouting movement in Japan does not sell cookies. :(

Oh, and I believe you when you say that your intent was to just highlight a hilarious story. But it's just some of the other posts, every single thread, it's "EBIL GOP IS EBIL!"

Heh - I took "these people" he referred to as morons to mean the likes of Hans Zeiger, the Tea Baggers/Partiers, and the rest of the lot who left the likes of Barry Goldwater and other "RINOs" for parts far, far, far right.

Question are they really a "pro-abortion" group ? How do they teach that to girl scouts, shouldn't they just be selling cookies.

But, its not my place to declare how wrong your views are. I suggest we either get a thread, or continue on about lesbian/abortionist Girl Scouts...

It used to be common in australia, too, but the double meaning has rather driven it out of use. I usually hear "cig" "ciggy" or "smoke".
