Shut the fuck up! it can’t be genetic, it’s pretty unfare that it takes Sara Pailin’s daughter to get pregnant to raise the issue, I didn’t believe anyhin he’s sayin I hope I didn’t offend anyone in this comment

genetics has nothing to do with a girl choosing a have unprotected sex at a young age. this guy doesnt know what he’s talking about..
14. December 2009 at 6:10 pm
ORLLY? My cousin’s mother had a child when she was 15, now, this girl is having a baby. Guess her age, she’s 15.

okay so you’re telling me that all the work Darwain and Mendel did studying the Origins of life applies to teen pregnancy…Teen pregnancy is not a trait that can be passed down neither is ignorance…you cant even class pregnancy as an acquired trait.
15. December 2009 at 3:30 am
I believe that what a child is taught throughout there lives they apply to real life, this girl saw that her mother had a kid at 15, so why couldn’t she? that must have been her exact mindset.
16. December 2009 at 10:10 pm
For real.
17. December 2009 at 4:59 pm

its not genetic god so stupid

This guy probably has a Ph.D. and did tons of research on this. So it might be a good idea to just keep an open mind and listen? Unless, of course, someone else out there with similar credentials did a comparable amount of research to refute his claims.
I’m just sayin’.

6. January 2010 at 3:42 pm
please don’t tell me this clown is saying it’s good for teens to get pregnant. If you can’t look after yourself why bring another one of you into the world. I don’t give a shite if science says children should have kids. most scientist are the same idiots that believe we evolved from apes. What are we going to become next pigs having underaged pigs?
9. January 2010 at 3:26 pm
ABORTION!!!!!!!!!
9. January 2010 at 3:28 pm
but it is good for them to have kids earlier because there are less risks of the baby dying or having some sort of problems like down syndrome, this is a known fact
29. January 2010 at 11:04 pm
yeah how dare they base their beleif’s on facts, what idiots!
2. February 2010 at 4:37 pm
He raises an interesting point but the fact still remains that whether it’s genetic or not it’s still largely unacceptable for teenagers to become parents.
The pressure of sexual selection holds much less significance in the modern world than it did in the past when it truly was survival of the fittest. In a civilised, developed and social society it should be the social pressure that wins out over sexual selection.
Social pressure dictates that it is wrong for children to become parents.

i only clicked on this cause i saw a hot chick =.=
18. February 2010 at 1:23 am
Ignoring fact again; are you? He is not saying it’s good for them to get pregnant, He’s just pointing out the fact that there is a genetic connection. No where is he saying “Because it’s genetic, we should let them have kids”. No, We obviously would not evolve into pigs. but maybe there might be a new sub species if God takes another rib from a man and a woman at the time time and put them together. Since magic makes more sense.
