Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

Country: United States.
State: Pennsylvania.
County: Warren.
I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

If her age is on the clock then she is old enough for c0ck.

I am...whimsical today.

This is not a thing in the UK, but I'd quite like it to be.

That said, I'm talking about the random chance that someone will come to your door to sell you saccharin food products, rather than the idea of getting Girl Scouts to go around selling -blam!- to strangers.

Looking through the website I can't say I disagree with most of the goals they advertise. Getting young people to be confident when talking to people, giving them money management skills, building confidence, building good relationship ethics, etc. These all seem worthwhile.

Business ethics, however, seem to be somewhat apart from the skills a Girl Scout should be taught, in my opinion. In my mind Scouting (whether for boys or girls) is more about camping, survival, leadership, community work and the like.

Now it may well be that the idea of 'business management' is a wholly worthy skill for a child to learn, or at least get to grips with at a young age, and than I've just become a traditionalist with regards to Scouting (or perhaps Scouting in the US is just different to Scouting in the UK), but it seems awfully specific and... well 'tailored' is perhaps the best word that I can come up with, for a child to learn. In my mind Scouting is about giving a child a wide base of skills that can be useful in many different situations, skills that can apply to many problems. Upon encountering a problem, whether large or small, a Scout should have the skills and experience to bring some measure of educated solution to the fore. Knowing how to build a shelter in an open forest, knowing how to start a fire, knowing what should go into a first aid kit, these seem like more 'Scouting' traits to me.

I could well be wrong. It may well be that business acumen is as (and perhaps even more) important for a youth to know than it is for them to know how to tie a bowline, or how to dress a wound.

I have to ask (as a non-resident of the US) do the Boy Scouts (or whatever the 'male' version of the 'Girl Scouts' is) have a similar business confidence scheme going on? It may simply have not crossed the Atlantic, but I've never heard of Boy Scouts going door to door selling cookies.

They do popcorn- though it's hardly as popular.

Yup, really really.

I guess a TL;DR could be:
'Why are Girl Scouts learning business when they should be learning camping, first aid and knots?'.

Thanks for reminding me that I don't have any thin mints.

My neighborhood has too many shootings and other crime for Girl Scouts. If I saw one I would not answer the door as it would just be way too suspicious

Because boys are born with all the knowledge required to be successful in the business word and girls aren't?

If you're a zombie and you know it, bite your friends.

The Flood Theory of Deterioration: q(p)=(qi)e^(-p/r)

Where q(p) is the quality of the thread as a function of p posts, (qi) is the inital quality of the first post, p is the amount of posts and r is the e-peen of the original poster.

We don't have Girl Scouts in Canada, but we do have Girl Guides and they have much better cookies than any of those.

Also as a paranoid stoner you immediately assume any person at the door is going to be a problem. When you're high and it's a little girl selling cookies instead of some crazy religious person that wants to talk about Jesus it's the greatest day ever. I have the munchies and you brought cookies right to my house. Awesome.

Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

Tell her that I have my own sweet treats to sell.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Nothing. I just scream "CHOCOLATE!!!" and chase her around town.

Savannah Smiles looks good (they did a good job on naming that one, i sound like a pedo). I have never tasted them before though, so they could end up being -blam!-.
