      Disturbing! And I’ll bet the teen pregnancy rate among these girls is no lower than average.

      So, a girl needs affection from a male to be complete? Didn’t I hear the word ‘independence’ in there?
      Why don’t they have a mother and son function also. They could call it the Oedipus ball.

      I’ll bet these same dads still encourage their boys to ’sow their wild oats.’ Just not with good Christian girls; that’s what those heathen folks are for ;P

      […] I don’t usually listen to Country music anymore, but I was flipping through the channels the other day and heard this song “I Loved Her First” by Heartland. I’m not sure if it is sweet or creepy. It just reminds me of those creepy Purity Balls. I don’t know, maybe I’m being too sensitive, but can you imagine a man singing that song about his son?

      Yea, hard to say. Ignorance is a popular birth control method these days. I saw a record number of ‘ewww’ responses to this, on pandagon.

      Hey, Marty, you called it! They do have a mother-son thing. But it’s not about saving oneself for one’s future wife. No, it’s about respecting another man’s future property. In other words, it’s even worse.
