Should we teach your child things you dont wish them to be taught? Isnt it your place to make the choices for how you parent?

I mean really Bristol is a grown women now with a child. How is this any of your business?

I could ask the same thing about the OP.

Yes you could

I dont see how her doing this is any of your, my or the OP business. Long as what she is doing isnt illegal. How is it any of our business?

I really dont understand the point of this thread. It makes me wonder where is the one asking about Bill Clinton raffling a day with himself to the highest bidder to help pay down Hillarys debt is at?

People have been earning a buck for speaking fees for a long time now. What is it an issue for Bristol to do it? Oh because her last name is Palin.

Yes, her last name has a lot to do with it, I will admit. But, the main problem I see is this girl "cashing" in on being a teen mom, all the while pushing abstinence. Am I the only one who can see the craziness in this? How about: "I am a teen mom because I didn't take the proper precautions and use birth control, and I fully support sex education in schools regarding birth control"! I mean come on, it's 2010 and abstinence does not work and she is PROOF of this. Arghhh.

If people want to give her 30 grand for speaking, then fine. I cannot imagine that anything she has to say is worth that much.

So you admit to being bias but want to be taken seriously? Well at least you admit it I suppose.

Are you upset over the Teen Moms cashing in on being teen moms for the TV show on MTV? There is also the show 16 and Pregnant are you just as upset with them? b

I dont get how this is any of your business to be honest?

Yeah lets just pass out condoms and hope for the best We need more teens having babies in this world.

Bristol Palin Signs Deal For Up To $30,000 Per Speech: Report

If Bristol Palin wanted me to listen to her talk, she'd have to pay me!

I wonder how much she charges to get her pregnant.
There are some dumb people out there. Paying a teenager $30,000 to learn about how to get knocked up? Any **** can tell you that.

It will be tough on her with all the hate directed at her. She made a mistake.......something the haters on this board have never done..... Being a single mom and trying to make a good life is tough enough but Bristol will have it even tougher with all the hate and mud that is being thrown at her. I hope she manages to have a good life anyway.

If people are stupid enough to pay her, she should go for it. I doubt she has any unique insight, but by virtue of her name, she could probably get a fair bit of cash.

Greetings,
If folks wanted to pay me that kind of money to speak about me life experiences, I would do it in a heart beat.
Just makes u wonder about those folks who do. They could be putting there money to help folks.
Lots of dont get pregnant education out there for teens for free.
What is really behind her, Maybe being groomed for politics herself. She can stand there after all that has been said about her, and still stand in the public in speak. Well time will tell.
Be Blessed
