Okay, maybe you want to congratulate her. Since your criticize my remarks (to the point of laughter) you obviously believe strongly that such sexual activity is mature and responsible and therefore, desirable. However, they are wrong to God.
Such actions also harm society. I agree that is not uncommon. But, simply because it is not common does not make it good. We are getting used to it and it is not a good thing to get used to. Illegitimacy is a plague on our nation and contributes immensely to crime, drugs, and billions in welfare spending—spending to ameliorate the damage that illegitimacy causes.
To Bristol Palin’s credit, she does not promote her wrong or condone it. She will not inherit the social ills associated with illegitimacy. Bristol Palin is fortunate because she has the support of her family who are successful. However, most young girls are not so blessed. And attitudes that condone such behavior, such as yours, propagate an environment where illegitimacy is encouraged, and our nation dies.
I don’t want to congratulate her. I don’t wish it on anyone. I also don’t want to slam her or blame her parents for decisions she’s made.
Pre marital sex isn’t desirable but it does happen and teens do engage in it.
You’re wrong. I don’t condone it. But, I don’t condemn anyone who does engage. There but for the grace of God and all that.
Bristol Palin and kids like her are blessed not only because they come from “successful” families but because they have families who put family first.
I’m not going to slam Sarah Palin for having a teen who had sex and became pregnant and has a beautiful baby. It doesn’t make Bristol a whore and it doesn’t make her parents bad parents. It doesn’t make her mother not fit to serve this country.
There are tons of teens who have sex and don’t get caught, and those who don’t have high profile parents who the public scrutinize. There’s also tons of teens who don’t have sex but we don’t hear/read about those because it’s not really news.
Take the assumptions you made and think about them. As a parent, trying to raise kids, I couldn’t give a damn what “society” thinks. It’s not about what looks ok to the neighbors or society. Fortunately, my teen years weren’t fodder for the entire world and my kids’ teen years won’t be either.
BTW, I didn’t fail to mention she got pregnant out of wedlock. The thread, as the world knows, this was the case. Think about assuming what someone says as ok and doing that passive-aggressive slam.
