“Coward said that she’s working on a “Choose Courage” event for boys, but it’s not clear whether the message of “courage” will also include the message of “purity” sent to the young women on Saturday.”
Of course not! We don’t shame young men into remaining virgins until marriage. We don’t tell them that their value as human beings and viable partners are based on waiting until marriage to have sex. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. And if sex leads to these many horribles for girls, why doesn’t it have the same effect on boys? Oh, right, because women are hostages to their emotions.
in order to avoid drugs, sexual assault, sex trafficking, gangs and prostitution, all they had to do was wait until marriage to have sex.
See? If you want a perfect life just follow the rules and soon enough rainbow unicorns will poop blessings on you!
So sex is the root of all evil. And to think the Bible say it’s the love of money. Pfft, what does it knows?
OH PLEASE! if this was true , Newt Gingrich would be a one-armed , one legged criminal … last time it was checked he still had his limbs.
I attended a Catholic girls’ school in the 60’s and never was subjected to anything this warped or even close to it. It’s scary to think that people of this mindset are holding jobs that make them responsible for the wellbeing of others.
I’m not clear on whether the audience here included any young men. As described the message of the event seems to be that for women lack of purity results in all this bad stuff. I guess guys can just go ahead and do guy stuff without consequence.
Premarital sex, so they say, is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a BJ it’s no surprise that they’re giving none away…away…away…away…
Sincere apologies to Pink Floyd, it was a reflex reaction to “root of all evil.”
wonder what Sarah Palin would say to this
There are 3 things that make me reach down to my holster and loosen my blaster: Rodian bounty hunters and the words “heritage” and “purity.”
They held this in Las Vegas, where “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”?!!
Sin City?
In an attempt to empower the crowd, not just terrify them, Adrienne Henry, Ms/Mrs Nevada US Continental, had the girls try on her tiara.
What, Miss Nevada was out of town?
This sort of scare tactic never works.
Remember: Teens and 20s are bulletproof. Just ask them.
Oh, and Nevada: where prostitution is legal.
The central message: while weddings are expensive, NOT getting married can cost you an arm and a leg.
The huge preponderance of people who lose limbs in meth lab explosions have had premarital sex. Run the numbers, people.
What kind of stupid shit…!?!
Sensationalized headline; sophomoric reporting. The woman who put this on happened to be a cop. She is not “Las Vegas Police” which implies something different altogether.
Thought TPM was above this kind of bait and switch
An even larger preponderance of people who have had premarital sex have not lost limbs in any type of explosions.
Indeed, I typed this with two hands.
Boom
premarital sex will lead to more sex, sex and sex.
I wonder if they will have the courage to give the same presentation to visitors of their fair city about the dangers of extra-marital sex?
