So font of wisdom Bristol Palin tells CNN.
*wipes tears*
At least she goes on to say "but it's not realistic at all.
Everyone should be abstinent. The mind boggles. Truly, it boggles.
No one should have sex ever. That's what she's saying. She may not realize that's what she's saying, but that is indeed what she's saying.
We're so insane about sex, it's, well, insane. Imagine if someone went on TV and said, "No one should be laughing." Why not? You don't actually need to laugh to survive. But look at how our culture, at every turn, is tempting us to laugh. There's comedy -- blatant, outright humorous comedy! -- on TV every night. There's jokes and puns and satire and amusing greeting-card verse everywhere we turn. No wonder even our children -- our children! -- are laughing all time. We have to stop the laughter.
We would rightly, ahem, laugh that person right out of the room. But when people, even 18-year-old kids, suggest that we should stifle another equally human impulse -- except within some very narrow confines defined by a two-thousand-year-old book -- we take them seriously and nod solemnly and commend them for their wisdom.
We should laugh them out of the room.
