September 1, 200818 yr To get back to the topic.... I'm glad Bristol is keeping her baby, but I would never let my 17 year old daughter get married because she was pregnant. I would want them to wait until they were at least a little older. I think marrying simply because one's pregnant is a mistake.
September 1, 200818 yr The information is out there for anyone to get. It's newsworthy enough to make a New York Times article, why can't it be posted on Bluegrasspreps?Newsworthy? What's newsworthy about gossip?

I am not sure I know one single 17 year old that is ready to be married. :lol:
September 1, 200818 yr Newsworthy? What's newsworthy about gossip? It's not gossip. It's truth. And, it is significant in this case, because the Uber-cons have been beating the "family values" drum.
September 1, 200818 yr Newsworthy? What's newsworthy about gossip? The McCain campaign released the information to rebut rumors. They released it...to the news. How is that gossip?
September 1, 200818 yr I agree. Getting married at 17 seems very risky. I am not sure I know one single 17 year old that is ready to be married. :lol: I don't know any 17 year olds read, and a pregnant 17 year old is facing a scary, SCARY path. Even with great family support, it's a tough row to hoe. A marriage begun under such stressful conditions at such a young age is not wise, IMO.

Unless the father is older...and able to get a decent job...how in the heck could you support a wife and child at 17 years old?
September 1, 200818 yr The McCain campaign released the information to rebut rumors. They released it...to the news. How is that gossip? I think the way you and others are trying to use it is gossip. An example: And, it is significant in this case, because the Uber-cons have been beating the "family values" drum.[/Quote] I mean seriously, it's like listening to two old women in their back yard talking over the fence to one another.
September 1, 200818 yr Unless the father is older...and able to get a decent job...how in the heck could you support a wife and child at 17 years old? I hear there might be a state troopers job available.
September 1, 200818 yr I hear there might be a state troopers job available.Case #2. Thanks for the help. :lol: :lol: :lol:
September 1, 200818 yr And, it is significant in this case, because the Uber-cons have been beating the "family values" drum.The "uber-cons" aren't relevant in this case, since McCain is the antithesis of an "uber-con."
September 1, 200818 yr Real nice......slammming the underage child of a candidate . Don't say "just reporting the news", imo everyone knows what was going on and why. Should someone (press or whoever) want to bash one of the candidates then that is fine. Seems to me they would leave the kids out of it, guess not. :sleep: This confirms my vote against Obama even more (if possible). I hope that somehow that some undecided voters look at this in the same way. Edited September 1, 200818 yr by oldrambler
September 1, 200818 yr First of all, Bristol is keeping the baby and stated she wants to marry the father. The article didn't state she was getting married today. I think this is a personal family affair. What parent would want to see this happen to their child (male or female)? This isn't the first teenager in the world to have a baby and not be married.
September 1, 200818 yr I think the way you and others are trying to use it is gossip. An example: I mean seriously, it's like listening to two old women in their back yard talking over the fence to one another. :thumb: On both statements.
