Well, that was... refreshing.

My objection to this badge is that it seems to have corporate sponsorship - where does that end?

Well, it's not as if it's blatant advertising or the like--educating the scouts on how movies are made and exactly how much work goes into the process to help them realize just how much a kick in the nuts piracy is isn't particularly evil.

Yes, you will. I've just been waiting for a reason for a while.

See you in a week

Yay! Let's see how many more BWO testers we can ban 

Well, tell them to not shoot off their mouths then.

[Polpolion]

Holy crap. They're turning boy scouts into something that some wuss pussy assed little boy can do.

[Hippo]

I much prefer girlscout cookies to another pioneer movement.

[Triple Ace]

My scout troop was designated by some as the a**hole troop. At night at camp, we all dressed in black (facepaint too) and raided other troop camp sites. We had an arsenal of super soakers, water grenades, and airhorns. And Blackdove, grow the hell up.

The closest thing I ever did to that was have a big capture the flag game my troop vs. another troop at like midnight.

How the hell do you get Hitler Youth from that?

[Fineus]

Probably because they were wearing black. I'm going to assume it was a joke.

Our troop (or a few of us) did the same sort of thing TA.. It extended to such (hilarious) practical jokes as:

- Moving another troops toilet tent inside a larger marquis tent and then pitching it. They had just moved in so it wasn't a dirty job.

- Taking a load of Brownies little stuffed animals (and the chairs they had bought for them) from outside their individual tents one night and sitting them in a circle around a neighbouring camp fire.

- Stealing one of the girls underwear and tying it to the top of one of the tents where she couldn't reach it (we were a mixed sex troop). (She then got me back by getting some of my own underwear and tying it up a flag pole so that when the flag was unfurled - my boxers were there for all to see).

Those were some of the memorable ones. We were a childish bunch but it was a laugh all the same.

Kal has won many intarnets! This place is getting too serious...

[Nuclear1]

I wasn't offended or anything, I was more confused on where you got Hitler Youth out of that.  I'm afeared I'm not much edjimucated on the happenings of the Hitler Youth, so I frankly didn't understand the reference.

Man, this place is getting way too serious.

Hitler Youth was used much like the pioneer movement as a form of having children spy for their government. The hitler youthturned in their own parents if they saw them doing anything ani-nazi germany. The pioneer movement turned in people to the KGB if thy saw anything anti-communist. Now the boyscouts turn people in to the MPAA for seeing people rip or download music.

[Nuclear1]

Well, sure, wouldn't you tell the police or the cashier if you saw someone walk out of the store after stashing a CD in their sweater?  This isn't turning people in for being "unpatriotic" or the like, but for blatantly stealing music. 

[Turambar]

well, they may not be gay, but theyre certainly taking the MPAA's shaft.

To be fair their training also included open warfare with each other while at "camp". Full on fisticuffs and raids on each others positions.

[Polpolion]

If anyone has a full 40gb Ipod with fully legal songs, I would laugh at them so much. Assuming about 75 cents (US) per song and about 7mb per song, they spent about $4300 (US)  on songs. Then again, I wouldn't know...

Ripping pages out of books, photocopying them, and putting them back together = a long process of illegally copying books that deprives the publisher and author of money.

Ripping songs out of CDs, copying them, and someone else putting them on a new CD = a slightly-less time-consuming process that still deprives producer and artist of money.

Better?

[Mefustae]

You don't deprive anyone of any money if you never had any intention of buying said CD/Book/Buttseks. Most music I download I would never think of buying, so by downloading there's simply no loss whatsoever to anyone, and a gain for myself. A truly victimless crime, like extortion, or murder.
