We use that shortcut on the travel boards for Pride of America (the cruise ships), so that's my first thought when I see PoA.

Fwiw, I have no issue with atheism in Council members, and I wish they would remove the "under god" from the pledge as it doesn't belong there IMHO. But I don't expect it to change.

I thought Scouts were gender-blind as long as you're not gay?

Boy Scouts of America allow girls to join their "Crew" program. This is an Explorer Scout program for kids 14 and older with special interests where the Crew partakes in activities related to that interest. As an official Boy Scout, they probably can earn the rank of Eagle but usually Crew members are not advancement oriented.

WRT gays in the Scouting program, the ban has been lifted thanks to a Bay Area (California) gay scout applying for his Eagle and admitted that he was gay. The public outcry that he was going to be banned from Scouting and not given his eagle was tremendous and created potential legal actions against the District and National offices which caused the ban to be lifted. Gay adult leaders are still banned.

Back in Nam, mid sixties, the government had devised a plan to recruit south Vietnamese "young adults" to fight for the free world. I was busy working in a mess hall in Saigon as punishment for some disorderly conduct and insubordination when I was offered the chance to run the program. Basically taking the younger generation and turning them into deadly weapons under the guise of "we're going to be doing a lot of camping and fishing and arts and crafts." Hey... don't get me wrong... I've always been a strong supporter of the arts. My former wife... BOY was SHE and artiste!! But that's another story. Anyway, yeah... fishing, camping, arts and crafts... it's a strange world. Would you believe that some of those "happy campers" defected, moved to Mexico and formed the supergroup, Menudo!? It's a strange world. Don't ever let anyone convince you otherwise.

Now, back to some chips and fresh salsa... and a few MORE Tecates.

Who could forget those Latino Vietnamese urchins; Ricky "Pho" Meléndez, Carlos "Nguyen" Meléndez and Óscar "Phan" Meléndez; and brothers Fernando"Huynh" Sallaberry and Nefty "Ngo" Sallaberry.

You were very successful with that program Mexican; And I congratulate you!

I to, got to do some top Secret work in the "Nam". I worked with young bar girls in Qui Nhon. They later moved to Great Britain where they achieved some fame as the "Spice Girls".

Who can forget "Sapper" Spice, "AK" Spice, "Mortar" Spice, and of course, "Tracer" Spice.

snorkle - How about an honest, non-evasive, non-subject changing, non-snarky answer to the question posed in the thread?
Try to be honest, if you can.

If you were an employer, which candidate would you hire, and WHY or WHY NOT?

[snorkle]

Dude,
I was responding to Mexican; a fellow Nam Vet if you don't mind.

I will answer your question though.

I would hire Tiffany. While no one's perfect, she is a passionate fighter with Puna's interests at heart. I know this from following her blog for so long. Danny seems like a good candidate, but I simply don't know him as well.

Also, as an employer, I know that women get paid less than men, which would translate into more profits for me. (OK, that was a joke, I couldn't help it)


Seriously though; How many Vietnam Vets does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
That's right man! Cause you weren't there!

[HiloPuna]

Dude (snorkel)

You don't really know who The Mexican is, and whether or not he/she served in "Nam". It's the Internet, Dude.(this is NOT calling out The Mexican )
To continue in this vein, and to make my point, you don't really know who Tiffany is by comments made on her blog Again, it's the Internet, Dude. You don't really know her at all, based on justInternet knowledge. Like we don't know " Snorkle" and you can't know "HiloPuna".
To finish you end with a self-deprecating joke concerning the mental instability of Nam vets. It undercuts your endorsement, justa little. Don't you think?

I bring this up for all the snark you've laid down....and continue to do even when requested not too.

[snorkle]

How do you know who I don't know if I don't know who I know? And if this really is the Internet, how come I'm typing this on my toaster?
Think about that, my friend.

If you go back to my first post on the previous page you'll see what this is all about.

Oh well. Maybe it's because I'm a Brit but I found snorkle's responce to The Mexican very funny! It even made me giggle which us Brits aren't supposed to do very often. Apparently.
