If teaching abstinence is pointless because kids will have sex anyway, then one might also ask why teaching about birth control is any less pointless. Wont kids just ignore that advice too, especially if they are told about the failure rates of all birth control methods other than abstinence?As the previous 30 years of sex education in the US has shown, teaching about birth control has done little if anything to slow down the rate of teenage pregnancy. If kids DO use birth control at all, they aren't consistent about it, which has the same effect as not using it at all.

Oprah is one of show biz's host of thread-bare sluts. They all are adamant that other women should never support the ideal of chastity(abstinence). To do so constitutes a standing rebuke to their own bad choices and lack of values. What other possible reason could this sideshow freak have, attacking a young woman simply for endorsing virtue in her own life?
To: ex-snook
It’s amazing how many “conservatives” here on FR and in the media have no objection to the things forbidden by that code.
To: SuziQ
All that govt.-school sex education has mainly hyped the sexual desires of the young and informed them in great detail about every sexual practice and orientation, while indicating that all were equally valid choices and that kids should simply be “ready” and practice “safe sex.” We now have oral sex being regularly indulged in by kids of 12 or so. I would bet that millions of adults in previous centuries never experienced that in their entire lives, yet never felt unfilfilled or deprived.

I thought Horpoh grew up Baptist? You’d a thunk she retained just a little bit of that knowledge. Guess not.

My guess from this is that Oprah is having sex with someone.\
She obviously isnt abstinent.
Ok Oprah who is the lucky guy, or is it a girl?’Op is it B.O.B.? Inquiring minds and all that.

Rumors are she is about ready to come out of the closet and reveal her longtime girlfriend, Gayle King, has really been her lover.

Bristol answered, Its a realistic goal for myself.That is an excellent answer to d0prah's question which came from a very shallow POV. Bristol is speaking for herself not anyone else. Of course, if it is a realistic goal for one person it obviously can be a realistic goal for just about anyone.

In the world I was raised in, slut was the term for people who thought like that. Ditto!
Guess I should be more open-minded (sarcasm.)
Lol ... bite your tongue.

Back in the day, girls made petting into a fine art. They were. by and large, in control of the situation. . Also back in the day, the boys knew that the honorable thing was to marry the girl if you wanted to have sex with her. This had been the case for a long time. Guys in the service who went to England found themselves confused because the rule there was that the guy decided the matter. Lots of men who married English girls did so because they wanted to do the right thing.

... Im just wondering if that is a realistic goal. I think teaching responsibility, teaching, ya know, a sense of judgment about it, but is that a realistic position?What is knowledge of responsibility or judgment without commitment to act on that knowledge? What is commitment without confidence in your will to stick to your commitments? Is it realistic to know the concepts and have no tools or desire to employ them?
d0prah is a fool with a head full of ideas and no understanding of how or why discipline and discernment should be applied to them.

Excuse me but I think most of you are missing the point about why the left is against abstaining from sex until after marriage, and why they push queer sex and want it taught in school.
It has to do with one of the goals of communism, which is to completely destroy the moral fabric of a society and replace it with the state.
This is apparent if you study how they have taken control of many countries(all have failed of course). They destroy the family(sound familiar) unit because this leaves fewer loyalties and breeds dependence on the state. Indiscriminate sex also destroys loyalties and discourages ties to other people. This crap from Oprah is all part of the plan, whether she knows it or not, but I strongly suspect she does.

‘Oprahs lover uses batteries.’
Probably 6 volt lantern batteries. Still seeking relevance.

Bristol Palin is a champion to come out and speak for abstinence before marriage. Oprah has guided so many down an inappropriate and downright evil path. What has she, if anything, done for the good of America?
"If we place a piece of tape on our wrist (the first person we have sex with) there is a strong bond. When we break that relationship, it is like tearing the tape off our arm - it hurts. Then when we meet another person and become intimate with them we put the same piece of tape back on our arm. But this time we find that the bond isn't as strong and so it is with the tape and the relationship. And each time it hurts a little less when the tape is ripped off and each time the tape is put back on, the bond is that much weaker" --
Fr. Gerard Monaghan

To: NYer
At this point, it doesn’t even take morality for Bristol Palin to decide on abstinence: it just takes common sense. She has a child, a job, and an education to pursue, and the last thing she needs is another boyfriend who just wants to use her.
