I wasn't confused. Afterall when she was alive--she knew about the birds-n-bees. She asked questions, she got truthful answers.

I only answered what she wanted to know at the time which was age appropiate.

Exactly. I asked the same question.

jillio

No need to thank me. I was only speaking the truth, my friend.

One would think that feminists could, at least, congratulate Palin as exemplifying one of their core values: A woman's right to balance a career with family obligations. Some of you say she is a bad mother while some others of you she is bad for mothers who work because she is too good at having it all. She has a good support system of nearby family. She can juggle all this because she has a partner (hubby) who takes equal responsibility for raising their kids. Now that is real feminism. Kinda the opposite of "behind every man is a good woman".

The bickering here of late flies in the face of what real feminism is. Sure, there are questions about her qualifications just as there are questions about all candidates on any number of issues but her feminist role is not part of the VP's role.

That said, I like her, "I can do it" approach. That is, as opposed to "What can the government do for me" mentality of many, if not most, feminists.

Dont forget that Palin wants to overturn Row vs Wade.

jillio

Yes, we are all aware of that!

Tousi

I doubt the Supreme Court would dare do that. Some of you probably had those same fears when Alioto was ensconced a couple years back.

Btw, it is Roe.

Maria

All ? I am not one of them. I support Palin in despite of your disagreement with her and what she represents for this country.

Cheri

I don't know what u getting at, this is not what I'm talking about, never mind that, I'm not going to pull this thread off topic to talk about your daughter and teenagers.

Byrdie714

Once a parent is always a parent whether the child is dead or alive.

(Mod's edit: comments removed)

Then that goes to show that the parents aren't being responsible with their children if they don't know what is going on in all aspect of their child's lives.

Maria

Ok, tell me what are you gonna do to make them to be honest with you to prevent it from all this happenin' ? What, if it is too late for you ? What are you gonna do about it when you knew that it can not be fixed, but to face it and move on -- just to be there for your teen child until he/she is fully responsible ?

imdeafsowhat

Here's a question;

Is Palin a sex freak?
If so, no wonder, like mother like daughter.

Jiro

there is no "one answer for all." Every circumstance is different. Like I said - open mind, understanding, and proper education are key to nearly all scenarios. What do you think why people seek counselors? not because they have professional knowledge. it's because they are open mind and very understanding. They help and educate people to understand the situation better. Don't you wish we have those early on at schools?

1. Palin was probably a hard-ass and has a strong view on abstinence.
Result? her daughter's pregnant and unmarried

2. Your daughter's school taught abstinence program.
Result? Your daughter had a teen pregnancy

3. My old close friend's family is very Catholic and strict.
Result? He was a very risky fornicator and does not practice safe sex most of time. His sister is probably a fornicator too behind their backs.

Conclusion - Abstinence does not work. Banning does not work. Strict Rule does not work. Hiding information/education does not work.

Exactly...we, private citizens, are entitled to our own privacy and have our ways of dealing with issues but Palin is expecting to be a leader so she opened herself up to the public. I see that the debates arent really about her daughter pregnancy but more of how Palin views it and how she will address it especially when she has strong beliefs about this kind of issue.

What? How can you prove that Bristol is pregnant with another child?? I am lost.

Jiro

uh.... it's in the news maybe? She's pregnant, you know.

Oddball

I know that she is pregnant, but I am confused by Jillio's statement. That's why I ask for some clarification. Does she mean that Bristol is pregnant with second baby or what?

Jiro

i guess she misspoke. just eliminate "another" but I'm sure we all understand.

Oddball

probably. who knows?

Cheri

not being responsible?! Nobody can be around their teens 24/7. How many pregnant teens are there in the USA? The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the world, so all those teens have bad parents? If you had a teenager, You'll know how it will be, we parents of teens learned to avoid hostile confrontation when a teen does something wrong, we also learned to keep the line of communication open.

I hope you you are teaching your boys to keep there "whatchamacallits" in their pants until they are married.

Byrdie714

I would give them incentives to make sure this would not happend.

First--they would be homeschooled--that way you would know what they are up to, what they are doing, etc.

Secondly--the incentives for the kids would be age appropiate. You want more minutes for that cell-phone/text messaging? Get an 'A+' o your finals, you want that car to drive around? Show me the g.p.a. of 3.6.

Can't do any of that, don't get the "perks".

Simple as that.

jillio

Perhaps you misunderstood the question. The question was, "Does everyone know that Palin wants to over turn Roe v Wade? Are you saying that you don't know her stance, or that you simply agree with her stance? The question wasn't about agreement or disagreement with anything.

jillio

Exactly! Why keep doing what does not work? That is insane.

jillio

Thank you, Byrdie. Actually I was speaking only for those that are iformed about the issues, and I qualified that in my second statement. I don't pretend to speak for those that are uninformed and choose to stay that way.

jillio

You are the one that brought Byrdie's parenthood into question. Mistakenly, at that.

jillio

Well, she certainly isn't pregnant with a dog.

Cheri

If you had pay more attention to my posts, read more carefully and stop being a troll then maybe you'll know where I stand, I had repeatedly stated that I wasn't gonna vote this year after Hillary was out.
