You're right, it seems it's not the left that are calling the girl promiscuous. Still, they are going to play it for all they're worth in terms of the mother's hypocrisy, lack of leadership, etc. and it's going to be poor Bristol who suffers most, in her precarious…

I think both sides are going to play this for all they can get. To the right, she's an upright, conscientious young Christian girl who made one mistake with the man she loves but then did the right thing; to the left she's an ignorant , uneducated bed-hopping…

Now her 17 y.o daughter is promiscuous little you know what

Do you know the meaning of the word 'promiscuous' or are you just throwing it out there because it sounds dirty?

The girl's 17 and pregnant and going to get married. It happens. Nowhere in the article is there…

I petitioned Mcdonalds Japan to introduce veggie food, and they suggest i eat a french fries and black coffee!!

You mean they've taken the beef tallow out of the fries?

'Vegetable and chicken' is not 'vegetable'.

Sorry Moddie, but any discussion of food has to include a discussion…

If their is no alternative and no debate about veggie foods, people will eat meat

Only if they don't mind eating meat in the first place. A veggie isn't likely to be looking for food in a burger joint anyway, so I'm prepared to let Burger King off the hook.…

Whichever party wins, the VP this time round will be a lot closer to the presidency than is usual.

For McCain/Palin, it's just a matter of time and how long his health can hold out.

For Obama/Biden, massive security a la Bush is the only thing keeping the threat of…

Sorry I can't 'straighten you out' as I don't know any more about this incident than you do.

Can't imagine what this man was thinking, but he's obviously not fit to be in a position of authority, or to be giving instruction to young people. Chiba Police Force…

My stance would be to stomp on the head of anyone who thinks they're so important they have to be in constant contact with the world at large every minute of the day.

Cell phone use should be banned in enclosed areas where the non-addicted cannot get away. By all…

what I am saying there is that there is NO need for corporal　punishment if you got the right teachers.

I couldn't agree more. And if they're not the right teachers, I don't want them anywhere near my kids anyway.

No, I'm not confusing a 'healthy smack' with 'beating' a child. I'm saying there's no such thing as a 'healthy' smack.

If the only way a teacher can get my child's attention is by caning him, then that teacher is failing as a disciplinarian.
