  • Other religious organizations were targeted too… Franklin Graham of the Billy Graham Ministries

    as well as a Baptist press organization that has been non profit for over 80 years and Jewish groups.
    This administration has no morals when it comes to politics and criticism of them.

  • Dancing around a golden calf doesn’t shock me. Just take a look at what modern pagans do on May Day and this is very mild. I was in a homeschooling group and a woman who is a practicing pagan, posted what the “tradition” of May Day is. Not going to describe it to you. But basically a bunch of strangers end up doing it in the bushes.

  • I agree. Why didn’t they pull out the minute they figured out what they were dealing with. IF I would ever do a stupid reality tv show (which I wouldn’t) but just say IF, the minute they pulled this crap, I’d be out of there. Just exposing my children to this kind of warped relationship would be it for me.

  • They are here in Sun Valley right now. Presumably they flew into our local airport, one of the 13 towers scheduled to be closed because of the sequester.

  • I have a friend who owns a book store. People will come in there and get her sales people to look things us, do research on authors etc. And then they fire up their phone and buy it online.
    I hear the frustration here, BUT if you can’t just look at go home and think, I think you will lose what business you do have.

  • So tired of this hack.

  • Sorry, I was on a roll!

  • First of all, name calling to try to make a point, just make your point less valid.
    Secondly, college students, really? Those pictures are of college students? I have four. None of them look that young. And that age already shops at VS because they’ve already been targeted.
    And this age already sleeps around? Mine don’t. They are committed to finding life partners.
    And you can say I’m out of touch, but no, our house is college central. All those kids who DO sleep around and have crappy parents, that my kids go to school with. They come to my house and sit down and have dinner at a real table with a real family. And they invite themselves over at spring break and holidays and call us mom and dad. Why? Because they crave parents. They long for family and traditional values. And they want someone to ask them what the heck they are doing when they make stupid decisions like sleeping around.
    The real problem is that parents have abdicated parenting and tell themselves and others that normal kids and college students are going to behave badly anyway so whey stop them or even try?
    Really, all that is is lazy. And many of those parents are doing the same thing…shacking up with someone, lazy and partying and they don’t want anyone to tell them that they are wrong. So, it’s all good right?
    Nope. There are healthy young adults who don’t engage in this behavior and will be productive adults in society.

  • I have bright beautiful daughters who I protected from this kind of garbage. One is married, the other two are pursuing college degrees. They don’t sleep around, party, have children out of wedlock and are young adults who contribute to society. I often am asked how we did it.
    We protected them. We ditched the television. We found alternate avenues to education, homeschooled when we could, participated in charter education, and public education, but we did what worked for us and our kids. They aren’t nerds. They are pursued by men. But they have a good head on their shoulders.
    Panties that say “Call me” whether anyone but them sees it, puts a message in the head of the wearer. I’m available. I’m cheap. Underneath it all, I’m ready and waiting.
    I want my daughters to think… I’m attractive. I’m worth the work it takes to have a relationship with me. I make an impact in my world. I can make a difference.

    My 23 year old said to me recently, about a date she had, “Yeah, he wants to kiss me. But I don’t think so. These lips mean something.” I laughed. But isn’t that what you want your daughter to believe? that even kissing is special and a gift to not be given lightly?

  • So are you against teen pregnancy? Pre-teen pregnancy? Predators?
    This is the first step.
