Seriously? Girl Scout Cookie Boycott call

http://www.9news.com/news/article/241853/339/Girl-Scouts-respond-to-cookie-boycott-threat

Given they are open to allowing transgendered kids into the Girl Scouts, I'm MORE inclined to buy cookies now.

  • Me too...I'd love to buy from the transgendered CA kiddo so they could be the girl scout who sold the most nationwide.

    Are you united with the CCOKCs?

  • Like I needed a reason to buy GS Cookies - but I would do it now just to NOT be a part of that lame_ass boycott.

    Mmmmmm.  Now I want a Samoa.  or 12.

  • Yep buying more GS cookies becausse of this.  Donating them to the troops because I don't want the cookies in the house.  So double karma points. What a nice change from the Boy Scouts.

    That's awesome!  If we had ANY disposable income, we'd support GS this year too!  Only, I'd probably keep the cookies and send something else to the troops...  hey, this is my last pregnancy, let me eat my cookies!!!  ; )

  • Yay! Open-minded people. I like this board already.
  • This gives me the urge to buy more cookies, not less. I like that the GS are inclusive. 

    And the boycott makes even less sense to me after reading that article. The transgender girl didn't even end up joining a troop, but just because the GS would have *let* her, people want to boycott? It's so hateful.

  • Bring on the cookies!
  • why in the world are people so hateful? This infuriates me. I want to buy a pallet of cookies now, which is ridiculous.

    Exactly!

     It makes me a little giddy to be on the buying more of something that is yummy side of a boycott.

  • You better believe I will find $3.50 to buy a box. And will strongly encourage my Samoa-loving Dad to buy 10 or 15 :). Go Girl Scouts!
    **POOF**
    No more baby siggie pics. Boo.

  • Totally going to get my Tagalong on ;)  I wish people weren't so ridiculously hateful and passing such ignorance on to their own kids.

    Exactly!  And from the footage, it looks like their packaging is more responsible, so that makes me happy, too.

  • Even if the GS did do something I strongly disagreed with, there is nothing so heinous on this planet that would ever make me stop buying Tagalongs.  N.O.T.H.I.N.G.  But I will definitely buy extras this year.
