Replace ''***'' with ''skankbanging''

Kudos to dobbershome for coining that word... :)

Okay, so they''re not a cult - just a bunch of naive, *** fools. What else is new in our "society"?

Making a pact to stay pure and not sleep around, making a pact to remain virgins until their wedding night,.......that kind of a pact would never make the headlines but you have young people around the nation who are making those kinds of pacts. But a pact to get pregnant? Was this a group thing like going to the bathroom together? Something is fishy, and cBS isn''t telling the whole story. The first paragraph gives that away, because that paragraph doesnt'' even make sense.

"School counselors, teachers and families of students the principal said made a pact to get pregnant and have babies together have no information to back the claim, the mayor of Gloucester said Sunday. "

Either this is a run-on sentense and the news editor needs to find a new job or the mayor is Mexico

"If you look at all the celebrity magazines, celebrity TV shows, you can''t turn a page without seeing more and more celebrities getting pregnant,"

Seeing as how getting pregnant is not only part of the human condition, but also one of the strongest natural instincts, I find it difficult to understand why some people think it strange. I also find that the "celebrities" getting pregnant are usually legal adults, so what is the problem?

Only recently has it been a notion that getting pregnant at 16 is somehow deviant, the ability to get pregnant starts at roughly twelve, and for thousands of generations, people have done so.

It seems to me to be idiotic to expect nature to conform to a person''s mindset, rather than conforming a person''s mindset to accept nature. Intelligent discussion about the pitfalls of early motherhood should replace fear mongering, as it only becomes a mark of the normal generational rebellion, when teens challenge BS.

I believe those kids did make a pact. What did they expect the girls to do...get a lawyer to draw it up and have legal signed contracts!?

No evidence but 17 girls all under age 16 and nearly all sophomores who took pregnancy tests at the shool nurses office....

No evidence but a bunch of knocked up skankbangers.
