“In our society, it is going to be hard to find [a couple who has not had premarital sex]. … But the standard is the standard.”

Someone needs to define the word standard for this woman. In the words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think that word means what you think it means." ~David D.G.

Now I wish I was engaged to someone from Georgia, so I could claim the money and donate it to some comprehensive sex-ed orginization, or something.

haha do it! Get engaged just for that purpose because it would be AWESOME!

the FSM commands you and you must obey!

It’s your tax money paying for the prize.

I believe the technical term for this is: “insult to injury.”

I retain the consolation that somewhere in this great nation, my tax money is also funding something that surely drives the puritanical extremists into apoplexy.

Yeah! I want my check too. Married 11 years now and saved myself for it, though unlike Polly, I do regret it – but not much.

Perhaps someone should get a grant to advise couples to have as much sex as possible before marriage – because they are sure to have a lot less afterwards.
Um, at least that’s what I’ve heard on Dr. Phil.
How on earth has the idea of committing yourself for a lifetime to another person before sharing sexual intimacy survived into the 21st century? Sure, sometimes it works out well but I’m certain there have been many disasters and many unhappy marriages as a result.
I certainly wouldn’t want to marry someone without knowing that I could meet all of their needs (their wants, of course, are a different story.)

If I wanted to get married- which I don’t- and I lived there- which I don’t- I would totally lie under the condition they did not bring up my probably-fake lack of premarital nookie, as nookie just should never be discussed near my parents. Ew.

Oh… and, by the way, her contest — along with her pro-abstinence program that she preaches to schools year-round — is made possible by a $2,270,000 federal grant.

Things like this are why I’m glad I’m a libertarian…
