Concerned Women For American should appeal to young men to behave themselves and to treat young women with respect. There are TWO sides to this equation.
Ditto for the current generation of "boys."
You just know that's the type of woman I'm going to wind up marrying (FWIW: I'm dating a pastor's daughter).
Absolutely true.This,among other things,was pointed out in the clearest possible way by Sidney Poitier to his "wayward" *male* students.
He made it clear to *all* of his students that things like common decency and morality are vital if you wish to have a happy,respectable life.
Apparently you are one of those sorts who would drive this girl to suicide
No, wait. Just read the rest of your post.
There is no "apparantly" involved here.
This girl wasn't "driven" to suicide by anyone. She was embarrassed and horrified that her small town had found out what she did, and on video. She took her own life and no one forced her to.
I agree. Boys are just as bad. It takes two to tango. Gang "culture", rudeness, and just plain immoral despicable behavior are being glorified as "cool" via entertainment across the board.
Well said, and absolutely agreed. : )
Snopes - great find! This time it never occurred to me to check it out.
Yeah, I really like snopes.com. I stop by every few weeks just to click the "What's New?" button.
Nonsense---no one who would appear on a girls gone wild film would also commit suicide because she was so horrified her small town found out about it. And if she did commit suicide for this highly suspect "reason" what does that tell you about the town, and what she thought she could expect from it? On the other hand, something in the story is not right, but the way you presented it, with the "actions-have-consequences" angle, left no ambiguity about your perspective on it. The story makes no sense the way you presented it, with no sources, no details, just something you heard or read.
Oh yeah, that is just the kind that will marry you and keep you in bed all the time making your 8 children. :)
