Now there is a young lady from Alaska who works as a Teen pregnancy prevention spokesperson and who advocates abstinence* as the best preventative. she has announced today that she is pregnant. For the second time. She is not married either.
Her name? Bristol "My Parents are Sooo Proud" Palin[^]
Not laughing.
* Absinthe is pretty damned good in that respect as well<\small>

That was a sh*t Limerick.

To make it up to you, here's my favourite:
There were two young ladies from Birmingham
And this is the story concerning them.
The lifted the frock
And diddled the [word that rhymes with frock]
Of the Bishop as he was confirming them.
[There are two more verses, but even Paris's kid sister wouldn't let that pass]

So, she knows what she's talking about. Had she practiced abstinence, she wouldn't be pregnant. It's always good to hear from an expert.

By that "logic", we should get marriage counseling from those who have gone through multiple divorces, substance abuse counseling from drug addicts, etc.
Making a train wreck of your life does not qualify you to teach others how to avoid the wreck.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

But you can be a great warning, if you're not a good example.

By that logic we should and do. AA for example is run entirely by ex-alcoholics and Cruse by those who have suffered bereavement. All psychiatrists acknowledge that it's hard to tell them apart from their patients at times. Most marriage counsellors are divorced or have been through the counselling process themselves. And it remains the single biggest criticism of the celibate priesthood that they're not qualified to counsel on matters of sex and family life when they have no personal experience. Counselling from 'perfect' souls simply doesn't work as it too quickly becomes patronising and idealistic. It is one thing to advise somebody to change something, quite another to have a good idea of just how difficult that is going to be.

Your mixing of various example that are related by simile rather than logic . . . it helps explain so much about why the world's heading towards hell.
Also - since I'm a self-declared optimistic cynic, nothing I say can be taken at face value.

I suppose I might as well - as I don't see what further harm could be done.

I note that AA is run by ex-alcoholics, etc. Bristol Palin (the subject of the original post) is still pursuing her self-destructive behaviour.

As you really ought to know one of the principle tenets of AA is that there is no such thing as an ex-alcoholic, a view fully shared by medical professionals.

I accept the correction. Substitute "alcoholics in remission" for "ex-alcoholics".

Little late on this one, Nagy... We've been laughing at her for years.

Hate to burst your bubble but she publicly distanced herself from abstinence advocacy years ago and whilst she still does occasional engagements regarding teen pregnancy and birth control this is by no means the bulk of her work these days. As far as I know she has never suggested that either sexual activity or pregnancy requires marriage. At 24, her current pregnancy should not disqualify her from talking about birth control for teenagers, surely? If we were all required to irrevocably stick to what we believed or said in our teens throughout the rest of our life then the world would be a whole lot more screwed up then it is!

What did you expect?? She's a republican... Do as I say, not what I do
"Republican" is slang for "Hypocrit"
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I must correct you . . . the proper term is not 'slang' . . . . it's 'synonym'.
(We're not both in trouble for not taking this to the SoapBox, but I'll blame you)

We use to have Summer now we have Heatwaves. We use to have Storms and now we have Weather Bombs*.
*That one really gets on my tits. It's only something I've heard in the past year or two also. Anyone know where it originates? I'm guessing the Yanks have something to do with it.

"The term is often misused in North America,[19]"
Needs modifying to include Britain now.
