Link TV - American Virgins
Channel surfing last night and found the subject show. Show was about using Faith Based and Faith Based Funded groups to go out, put on 'entertainment' shows, for preteens and have the teens sign a statement(provide personal information) buy a silver ring to wear(and tshirts, jackets etc) and promise to abstain from sex until marriage. Parents are lectured by the head of the group in another area. Entrance at this show is $12. The groups budget for this year was "600K" and they expected it to "triple next year".
Planned parenthood was also on, BUT, it showed them in an inner city school- small group of older kids talking about sex. They looked more along the lines of a grass roots group.
The thing that dropped my jaw was that the * admin provided over 120 million for these abstinance groups this past year alone!!

1. I believe there was a study released that said only about 2% of people were virings at their wedding
So, basically, this whole "waiting for marriage thing" is a sham and goes contrary to human biology and actual observed human behavior.

But yeah, let's keep throwing our tax money at these programs! :eyes:

3. I keep trying to tell people what bible belt horseshit
their hard earned tax dollars are paying for. Most are afraid to believe it.

Instead of housing the homeless and feeding the hungry, things we were told that faith based taxpayer money would do, it's pretty much all going to an antisex agenda.

Check out those taxpayer supported "purity balls," where little girls dress up like brides and pledge their hymens to Daddy, if you don't believe me.
