Sorry, Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston. You don't have a friend in Jordin Sparks.
At last night's MTV Music Awards, the former American Idol champion stood proudly for virgins everywhere.
She took exception to host Russel Brand's joke that The Jonas Brothers ought to ditch their purity rings in exchange for some serious action between the sheets. Prior to introducing T.I. for a performance, Sparks said to the crowd:
"I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It's not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut."
Bold, admirable words from the teenager. Do you agree with them?

"Sorry, Bristol Palin ...."
A terrible thing to call a 17 year old pregnant child trying to do the right thing by keeping her child, a slut, when you make your living/notoriety being attention whores?
How can you refer to two young women as sluts, and then speak as though you agree with Jordin's standards? Adults in the media going after children on one account... and yet you're the first to show them in their skimpy clothing, or looking odler than their years, etc.
You, gossip mongres and the Hollywood wanna-be hanger's, the fluff floating above the heads of the space cadet starlets and self-indulgent personas, are judging the wrong people.

I totally disagree with her! I think you should be allowed to do it whenever you feel ready and are trusted to be responsible. But I do agree with the laws. That's just plain judgemental that she is practically all people who don't wear purity rings sluts!!

You can just tell that she's very young in that statement. I think she's a sweet girl really and I don't think she put alot of thought into that statement which in a nutshell called anybody who does not wear a purity ring a slut. Hopefully for her sake, she's not really that judgemental.

If anything, I felt that her remarks were more offensive than Brand's comedy. What is with Christians always insisting that their religion and god are superior to everybody else's beliefs. It's perfectly fine to feel that your beliefs are superior, but be tolerant and humble in doing so. Not everybody has to follow the Christian set rules that sex comes after marriage, and that surely doesn't make them a slut. Besides I know some Christians that have sex before marriage. Check yourselves before you check others; matter of fact, just be quiet.

I just have one thing to say about Jordin Sparks. It's okay to have sex before marriage. Because not everyone who does, guy or girl, is a slut.

The guy was going on and on making fun of those who are choosing to not sleep around. He was making a big deal and she responded in anger & frustration. Get off the Christian soap-box everyone. This is between two people who both mouthed off inappropriately.
But hey, if ya wanna go around having multiple sex partners in life and hope that you make it without a disease or untimely pregnancy that is your business. Not all non-Christians want to be flippant with sex like you all assume. The world also has ZERO tolerance of anyone saying anything that may be a Christian. Guess that is a sign of the times we are living in. Seems like the world is zoning in on one religion to hate. Time to do some reading about what this means anyone?? Quit hating and learn something!

Ok seriously, just because someone chooses not to wait before marriage to have sex does NOT make them a slut!! It's not self-depricating to have sex outside the confines of marrige whatsoever, it's simply a choice that people have the freedom of making. It can stil be a wonderful, loving thing, regardless of marital status. I have a big issue with so-called "Christians" who feel they have the right to judge everyone else simply because they choose to live a different lifestyle. I'm not much of a Christian, but I'm pretty sure stereotyping all teens who have sex as "sluts" is not a very Christian thing to do! Shame on her, she gives other, non-judgemental Christians a bad name.

Well, I saw the show and when she opened her mouth and said those words, I got really enoyed.. Because if she say it like that she thinks that everyone that dosnt use promise rings are sluts...
Stupid... I cant belive I was the only one that got enoyed by her choice of words.
