The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

... its refusal to distinguish between truth and falsehood, its willingness to mock and degrade previously treasured beliefs.

When I was a wee lad in the early 60s, my teacher would read stories to us about how terrible things would be if the Communists took over.

One story was about the Communists taking over a school like ours. The story described the motherly and loved teacher being led away, and the new teacher, a young woman wearing a uniform, entering the room. The young woman, regarding the traditional national flag in the room, suggested that, if that flag is so wonderful, maybe everyone should have a piece of it. She took a pair of scissors and cut the flag up, so everyone could have a piece, then the bare pole was thrown out the window, onto the lawn in front of the school.

So, when will the Boy Scouts be replaced by the "MAGA Youth"?

Steve...survived anti-communist indoctrination
