We don't have raccoons in the UK. Well, we do in zoos and other similar institutions, but they're not native. Actually, having just checked, they're classed as an invasive species and it's illegal to keep them as pets.Phil8659 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 04, 2025 4:17 amWhat would really be news is Girl Scouts no longer take girls, but raccoons of any persuasion.Maia wrote: ↑Wed Dec 03, 2025 10:52 am On the one hand this is very welcome news, obviously, but on the other, just shows how insane our times are, or have been, until very recently.

I was involved with the Guides at school, which was good fun. The boys had their own Scout group, but we were mostly separated from the boys anyway, with our own campus and dorms.

So, raccoons have to put up with legal prejudice and intolerance in the whole country? I would be banned then to go to England! Well, I can always change my travel plans.Maia wrote: ↑Thu Dec 04, 2025 8:26 amWe don't have raccoons in the UK. Well, we do in zoos and other similar institutions, but they're not native.

Well then censor fuck you for brining it down.
Speech, which has been common on public networks in both America and England for decades does not have a damned thing to do with tone, which, if you were literate, is supplied by the reader, not the writer.
Now you are free to fantasize about anyone and anything you like, but go piss up a tree if you think you have any rights over my behavior, which does not significantly differ from any working class person in the world.
