[DS1]

:nuke:

[progmom]

1. did you hear? she announced her own name!

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

6. I'm not sure why that's funny.

[progmom]

12. the fact that she announced her own name is not funny.

it just seemed obvious that DS1 was tired of hearing about it, so I thought it would be funny to tell him a detail about the story as if he hadn't heard it.

[Left Is Write]

19. Oh. Okay.

I'm guess I'm feeling sensitive to jokes about it.

[progmom]

21. I don't think the story is funny at all.

I just like poking DS1.

[Left Is Write]

23. Well, THAT I can understand.

:evilgrin:

[matcom]

2. WHAT pregnant student?

:shrug:

[DS1]

5. The one you sold me 7 months ago

[matcom]

7. aaaahhhhhh

she still doing your laundry or is she too rotund these days :spank:

[DS1]

9. Bitch can't even reach the Hot/Warm, Warm/Cold. Cold/Cold switch

on the warshing machine (like she says it)

[matcom]

10. look. you KNEW it wouldn't last forever

let her pop out the bun and get HIM started on the cat box within the next 6 months

pimp her out at that point

[DS1]

15. *biting tongue*

[matcom]

17. don't you fucking make me laugh like that

:rofl:

[RubyDuby in GA]

3. Is this news??? Come to GA - I think's its a graduation requirement

that at least one girl in the class has to be pregnant for the entire class to graduate.

Ah....if we're not 1st in Teen Pregnancy, we're somewhere damn close to the top. So there :*

[Bullwinkle925]

4. I agree - I think she's an idiot for getting pregnant in the first place.

She should have just abstained - like a good Repug. would have.

:spank:

[Dr.Phool]

8. Is she moving to a trailer park after graduation?

[jswordy]

11. (sigh) I thought it was a very brave and wonderful thing to do.

Apparently I am in the minority (surprise, surprise).

[progmom]

18. jswordy

the story has been posted at least a dozen times in the past few days. it definitely is beautiful and inspiring. it's just been posted a lot.

:hi:

[jswordy]

24. progmom

I heard it for the first time this morning on NPR. It probably has been posted a lot because it is "beautiful and inspiring."

Seems a shame some here jump so quickly and negatively on those who may post it cuz they just heard of it. That's not an insult, that's just an observation. Not everyone spends their day mass-consuming the news. Myself, I am making a huge effort not to do so, except as is required by my job.

[progmom]

30. .

i didn't post the thread. i was just trying to explain it to you so your feelings wouldn't be hurt. :hi:

[Telly Savalas]

31. Granted I'm spacy...

but this is only the third thread on it I've notice. Compared to the Popeathon, Schiavo, Finger-in-Wendy's-Chiligate, or the baseless speculations in GD of an impending invasion Iran, the story of this young lady has gotten virtually no play at DU.

I'm with you. It's a good story.

[Zenlitened]

13. "Ignore thread." Click it, and watch your blood pressure come right down.

:)

[jswordy]

25. :-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. No way, man..that young woman is a hero.

She is a modern day Rosa Parks. She refused to let pregnancy push her to the back of the bus. All young people should demonstrate the guts she demonstrated.

[matcom]

16. ppssssttt

i think he is referring to the fact its been posted 6 or 8 times ;)

[DS1]

20. that I am

I'm all for what she did, F that stupid school and their fundie bastard leaders

[lenidog]

22. Its a Catholic shool what do you expect?

In all actuality she may be a fundie herself.

[jswordy]

27. I expect compassion.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

28. I expect them to ban both the pregnant teen and the father

from attending if it's due to having sex before marriage or to not ban anyone.

[matcom]

29. the FATHER had sex with her????

well now, THAT certainly IS a new "twist" :bounce:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

26. oh...that's different....

nevermind
