Actually, it was the other way around. The Boy Scouts got all BUT 3 grand, so $7,316, and the other $3000 went to St. Jude's.

I was at a restaurant in Jefferson, Texas last year which had dollar bills all over the walls. Some of them were very artistically defaced by the patrons putting them up, in a way the Treasury might frown on. I'm not sure what it was for, though.

including many dollar bills decorated by patrons who stuck them on the walls.
I hope they didn't just toss them all back into circulation. Pick out some of the more artsy ones, sell them, and then have even MORE money to give to the Children's Hospital!

Saw this was green with 10 comments, and thought "I wonder if anyone from the gay brigade has already come in to trash the Boy Scouts yet?"
Yep.

There's a restaurant in Rome, Georgia, that has that as well. Most of them are just colored for team spirit, some have initials. I don't know why.

The thing with the Boy Scouts is that on the local level, it's a great organization. The higher up you go, however, the more and anti gay you get.
It's a great organization that does a lot of good, it just needs a little bloodletting at the top. And I know quite a few former scouts who would volunteer to help with that.

There is a place in Lawrence, KS called Jefferson's and they have dollar bills tacked all over the walls. Pretty decent food, fried shiat and whatnot. Only ate there once. I'd go more often but it is kind of a frathole (college town [KU]) and I don't want to catch any diseases from the sorostitutes that wear short skirts and no under-ma-pants. You know, a side of crabs to go with your fried clams and whatnot.

Glad to see someone else is doing it. Went back to my local troop a few months ago and am about to go on my second outing as an adult leader in the next month. You're absolutely right about the higher ups, they definitely need a clean up.

could quite possibly be the case. Is that really the phrase you want to use in light of things like the Catholic abuse scandal , Sandusky, etc?
I'd guess that overall, the breakdown on the sexual orientations of pedophiles probably coincide closely with the sexual orientations of society at large; so unless you'd say that "most if not all people are heterosexual", your comment is a bit disingenuous.

In neither case was the predator's heterosexual orientation cited as an explanation for his crime. Psychotherapist and author Joe Kort points out that when men molest little girls, they're specifically called "pedophiles" or "sexual predators." But when men molest boys, they're simply called "homosexuals,"
as though
sexual orientation were responsible for driving these men to their crimes.7 (emphasis mine)
I apologize if I ruffled anyones feathers earlier. I hadn't eaten dinner yet, and that tends to make me a bit stupid.
I understand that there
are
gay child molesters. I myself am neither gay nor a pedophile, so both of these sexual proclivities tend to leave me non-plussed. ( I hope these words mean what I seem to remember them meaning. Not terribly interested in opening up any cans tonight.)

I wonder if you really believe this. Your statement is a classic example of a victim's mindset, in the same way that some people blame all their problems on racism. People use the term molester, period.

Nope. Just quoting from the article, Take a few minutes and read it, because it does not go in the direction you think it's going to go , and it does in fact illustrate my original statement:

Trust me, or not, but consider reading the article. And how did this whole thread go from being a 'hey, cool little bar does something nice with all this cash' thread, to a 'lets talk about the sexual orientations of pedophiles' thread...? Ah, back to my video game, I guess. Ttyl.
