No, I agree with Palin on nothing.....but I like to point out that while Repugs scream Keep Your Legs Together they have nothing but adoration for Bristol The Loose Leg Opener.

I believe teens WILL have sex (they've been doing so for several thousand years), abstinence only is ridiculous, so they should have PROTECTED sex....
Really thats all you think she has to say? You dont think she might talk about not having sex or what its like to be a teen with a baby.How hard it is to be a teen with a baby. But instead you assume that shes going to go around telling teens to have sex

your previous post said that " I think people who applaud teens having sex and getting pregnant have a screw loose..." So wouldnt that mean that you dont approve of teens having sex? Which means you agree with Palin on that.

Don't get knocked up? Didn't work for her.

Teens shouldn't have babies? Oh, but look how cute he is and I'm doing OK, aren't I?

This whole deal is a blatantly transparent attempt by a PR man somewhere to cash in on Sarah's misbegotten run for VP. I think it reeks to High Heaven. Bristol hasn't learned $30,000 worth of anything in her short time on this planet, and I can't imagine what sort of Bozos would pony up that amount to hear her tell everything she knows.
No it didnt work for her but her message might work for someone else. Does that mean we stop trying? I dont understand your logic it didnt work for Bristol so that must mean it will never work

Teens dont listen to adults. We tell a teen something and they want to do the opposite of what we say. So thats why we need other teens to talk to teens because they will listen.

Why are you all so upset with her earning a dollar. Its almost like some would rather she be on welfare or dependent on her mother.

Why do you think those teens that does the show for MTV 16 and Preg or teen moms does those shows? Dont you think its partly because of the money and because of the message they can share with other teens.

That's exactly right. I don't hate the girl, or her mother, or anyone for that matter. But, I also don't respect either one. The poor girl had and kept this baby, because she had to, not because she actually had a choice. As a teen mother with a high school education, Bristol would be lucky to hold an assistant manager position in retail making 8 bucks an hour, but here she is, cashing in...so very Palin like. Also, the fact that she is not encouraging safe sex, still the same abstinence only stance, blah, blah, blah, irks the heck out of me.

Earning? Where else can she "earn" $30,000 a year as a HS dropout, much less for a single appearance telling people not to do as she does, do as she says do?

Had it not been for Mama there would be no possibility whatever that she would be offered anything at all to speak to anyone about anything. If she is worth $30,000 for a lecture, why isn't a teen mother from the projects in L.A. worth $30,000 a speech? Bristol is very, very much dependent on her mother to make a living. I doubt she could hold a real job with no skills except as a babysitter.

Why isn't she going to college so she can learn something and get a real job?

I feel sorry for her, she is trying to do what is right, so what if she makes money?
A. I have never posted that I hate the Palins....so you are a li-- .....you are in "error".
B.She doesn't have to "try" very hard with a millionaire elitist mother.

C. How childish for you to worry about stranger's feelings for your mother....weird!!!

Did she tell you that she had no choice but keep the baby and that she didnt want to?

Why do you begrudge her cashing in?
Just wonderin

So you'd rather they just abort them all? Since you admit they are going to have sex no matter what.

"I NEVER would applaud teens having sex....whether I , or palin, approve , doesn't mean a thing" << Means you and Palin agree on something because I doubt she applauds it either. So Yes Dearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it does.

She was the pregnant daughter of a (unsuccessful )VP REPUBLICAN candidate...she had NO choice but to have the baby....so praising her for keeping it is stupid.
