Shut up ****. Do you take offense to that term? Your stereotype is just as bad as that one. Many people who choose to wait, and do so for other than romantic reasons, aren't even Christians, and it's just plain ridiculous to assume all religious people are hypocrites who beat their children. I waited and it had NOTHING to do with not wanting kids. Obviously you aren't a ****, but damn, your ignorance is showing.

My parents are Christians and are definitely trying to impose the "no sex before marriage" rule on me simply because they believe it's a sin to have pre-marital sex. Waiting until marriage really isn't for me. I have no problem with other people waiting to have sex until marriage, but I do have a problem with people who try to force their values upon others and condemn others to hell if they don't adhere to those values.

i totally agree! both me and my boyfriend have religious mothers who believe in no-sex-before-marriage, but they don't impose it onto us; both of them say, it's up to you to decide what you believe and want to do. because at the end of the day, married or not, it doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to have sex, or that you love your partner. love is more pure without all the paperwork, expenses on the procedure, and rings to show society that yes you DO love this person. i'm glad you share some of my views :)

I *don't* consider you a ****. I used that extreme language to point out how unfair generalizations are. Sorry if that wasn't clear; I thought I made it obvious that I was exaggerating. I don't impose my views on others or condemn them for their sex lives. But when people make intolerant statements about ANY faith or lifestyle, it really bothers me. You did both. It's none of my business when, with whom, or how often you have sex. Conversely, however, it's none of YOUR business why people choose to wait. Claiming they only do so out of fear of hell or pregnancy is just as offensive as using terms like ****. Stereotypes are ALWAYS shitty and offensive. THAT was my point. Good for you for waiting till you were ready. If I ever have kids, I'd do exactly as your parents did. I'd also teach them to respect others' choices, and to understand that living differently does not make them better or worse people.

well ok, you have your view, i have mine. i won't change it, but i will say that i am far from ignorant. i'm very well informed of what i talk about, and it's often the knowledge that i have that makes me come to such conclusions, rather than not knowing anything and just assuming. a lot of people i know have waited for sex until they're married - influenced by their beliefs. now, i know that almost all of them are, (or at least, are thinking of) committing adultery. mainly because they were disappointed by the wait, and the fact that they're stuck with someone for the rest of their life, and realised too late that they have no chemistry, and that actually, chemistry to them is important even though at the time they didn't think it was. i can't help being influenced by circumstances like these. if you were in a similar position to me, you'd have very similar views, and it has absolutely nothing to do with being stubbornly ignorant or dumb.

I told myself I'd drop this, but I have one more point. One person's experience is always limited. It doesn't matter if you know 2 or 200 people you can use as 'proof.' Here's an example: Say I knew lots of 'bisexual' girls who had histories of attention-whoring behaviors before coming out. And say I knew for a fact that their bisexual behaviors only went as far as kissing girls in crowded clubs to look sexy for the drunk men around them. Does that make me "very well-informed" and justified in saying that most bisexual young women are only looking for attention? No! That's ridiculous. Just because the hypothetical me didn't personally know any genuinely bisexual young women doesn't mean they don't exist. It doesn't even mean that MOST bisexual girls universally are faking it. In short, you can't take your experience as the whole and universal truth.

i didn't take my experience as the universal truth. i made a statement. if other people's justified opinions bother you so much, let it go. and please stop blowing my comment out of proportion. you have your view, i have mine, drop it. and if exaggerating things offends you so much, please don't do the same then, and call someone a **** just coz you feel you can. end of.

Fortunately for people, we're not cars that people drive until they get worn out or crippled and then ditched into a junk yard.

Maybe you should read the first half of my comment too

when i started reading your comment i thought i'd written it XD it's exactly perfectly the same as my situation down the last detail! it's strange reading your situation from a stranger's perspective and find it's the same for them... sorry this is so random, it was just quite nice tor read the same thing :)

Lol, so if she's fat and ugly it doesn't count?
