Gays do not attack! Gays are people just like us! there is NO. Correlation between gays andRead More molesters! The top 3 places molesters are..... #1 churches #2 cub scouts:boy scouts #3 schools Young children that are gay do not know how to deal with their feelings. They generally do not tell anyone. These young kids are perfect targets for molesters! Kids that know they are gay need love and support. The scouts Are not monitored Molesters are drawn to boys who are having issues, at home, wether they are confused with their sexuality, or a fatherless home! Scouts are not monitored by the state! I believe Anyone working with children should be investigated thoroughly! Also, molesters are not born that way.... They are taught that horrendous behavior! I volunteered my time working with sex crimes. The above statements are true... Look it up! Just because a " dad" is the leader in the scounts... Means nothing! A molester is just a man . UNTIL a child has the courage to come fourth and tell someone! Isn't the Mormon church the main controlling force behind the whole scout arena? Look that up too!!!! The top 3 places that sex crimes happen ... Is frightening! If your child is gay... Please find it in yourself to love, support, and be there for your child!

My son is in scouts. When this first came up, I was concerned about them sleeping in tents together.Read More When I really thought about it, It's like Annie says, They are not going to become molesters. Just like, They are not going to cut or stab anyone with the knives they are all allowed to carry. People are afraid of the unknown & what might make them uncomfortable.

What Annie wrote is exactly right! The inference here is that a gay boy will sexually attackRead More another boy. That is simply ignorant and stupid. Fears here are unfounded. It's uncontrolled hysteria based on fear rather than fact. Chill out people.

I am so glad the library is able to expand it's hours, especially during the summer. Where I grewRead More up (Iowa), 50 years later, the library still is open 7 days a week, a total of 70 hours. I consider the Public Library to be so important to every community, and will be increasing my financial support of the Library Foundation this year.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Go, go GPD. It is nice to be appreciated, but even better when someone acknowledges it.
