Ayingel 24 Posted September 3, 2008 ya, see the problem with that is that you'll get people who think that BC is just some "evil drug that tells people it's okay to have sex" when really it would solve many problems that those girls who think that have...all because they've had abstinence-only ed.

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted September 3, 2008 the issue of abstinence only education could be avoided altogether if parents would step up and be parents and teach their kids the standards they want them to follow, but that's my alturism rearing its ugly head again.

Princess 35 Posted September 3, 2008 I think that we should respect the wishes of both campaigns and leave Palain's daughter out of the discussion, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUnknown 39 Posted September 3, 2008 JM: Kids are going to have sex. At least some. Screaming "don't have sex," whether it's the parents or teachers or the government or religion. I would rather kids know how to reduce pregnancy and disease if they do do it. Prin: On the one hand, I agree. However, at the same time, it illustrates the weakness in Palin's own political ideology. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickenman 9 Posted September 3, 2008 However if we leave it completely up to the parents, well, frankly...there'll be a lot more parents in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickenman 9 Posted September 4, 2008 I think that we should respect the wishes of both campaigns and leave Palain's daughter out of the discussion, please. The problem is, it's a lot like Cheney's lesbian daughter. It's unfortunate that such a thing has to be discussed, but it really has to if the parent is against such things. Though I gotta say, this is turning out to be a good thing for the Republicans. They've won over any pro-choicers that they didn't have already. :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickenman 9 Posted September 4, 2008 I find it funny that Palin was the one who brought the subject up, wasn't she? lol Yeah, you break news like that before your opponent can, or try to hide it better. No use hiding a pregnancy, so there you go. Seriously though, McCain may have just picked the worst VP candidate in history. Come on! i was having such a hard time sitting there listening to giulianni last night...especially since i was surrounded by mccain worshipers. Giulliani 9/11 should just be 9/11 prevented from 9/11 ever 9/11 making a speech 9/11 in public 9/11 again 9/11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickenman 9 Posted September 4, 2008 Or liberal, or anything else. Children should have the option to figure it out for themselves, and not be programmed by their parents since birth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 0 Posted September 4, 2008 Yes, but you don't see children at liberal rallies unless their parents dragged them there, at least those look bored. The children at the RNC were into it and wearing bad suits! (It didn't help that they were blond and blue eyed... made me think of some history... I really need to get better allusions.)

Ayingel 24 Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) i was having such a hard time sitting there listening to giulianni last night...especially since i was surrounded by mccain worshipers. Giulliani 9/11 should just be 9/11 prevented from 9/11 ever 9/11 making a speech 9/11 in public 9/11 again 9/11. it wasn't even 9/11! it was all the smack talk against all the other previous candidates! the funny thing was, even huckabee got pretty mad during it (from the look on his face) and yeah, there were a lot of kinds there. i understand some of it to a point (why should we leave our kids at home when they could have a learning experience, tho they'll have to sit in the hotel room while we go to the parties!) but the guy at my volunteer post and i were surprised the kids weren't bored.
