Congratulations...Your an idiot!
Perhaps you saw this story a week or so ago about a young jiglady who decided she was going to have an incident at her high school's graduation. Barred from participating in the ceremony herself because she was pregnant, she decided to take matters into her own hands by hijacking the stage, ODB-style, and announcing her own name.
A little background, courtesy of CNN.com:
MONTGOMERY, Alabama (AP) -- A pregnant student who was banned from graduation at her Roman Catholic high school announced her own name and walked across the stage anyway at the close of the program.
Alysha Cosby's decision prompted cheers and applause Tuesday from many of her fellow seniors at St. Jude Educational Institute.
But her mother and aunt were escorted out of the church by police after Cosby headed back to her seat.
Of course, this incident is being held up as some kind of triumph by women and other people who have no sense. Says the girls mother, "I can't believe something like this is happening in 2005. My daughter has been through a lot and I am proud of her. She deserved to walk, and she did."
I'm tempted to agree.
Teenage girls who get pregnant should be forced to withdraw from regular school and pursue some alternative optio. Because to allow these people to stay in classes with everybody else sends out the message that it's a good idea to have children at that age, which is just wrong.

I don't agree with that at all. I have never been pregnant, but if I had been pregnant in high school, I would've been pissed the hell off if sojmebody told me I couldn't walk at my graduation. She went to school for four years and earned her diploma so it was her right to walk across that stage. Maybe you don't agree, but how would you feel if it were you or your daughter in that situation. I bet your opinion would be a whole lot different then.
