I think she took it too seriously, but Brand should have other material.

Good for you, Jordin! Young people need more role models who will stand up to the culture of promiscuity-without-consequence. Jordin wasn’t speaking for or about adults but teens like herself and the Brothers.Sexually-transmitted diseases are increasing again among young people, as are an alarming number of teenage pregnancies. Girls/young ladies need to value themselves more and they don’t have enough celebrities giving them public support. We have too many Baby Mamas and Baby Daddies, IMO; so I say “Go, Jordin!” BTW: why aren’t you as upset with this cheap-shots-are-us comedian-wanna-be who picked on the Jonas Brothers? Isn’t he too old for that? They are teens, after all. Not a fair fight at all.

Way to go Jordin. My daughter and a large group of her peers love Jordin Sparks and the Jonas Brothers. I think it is very responsible, and respectable for them to wear purity rings and to be positive role models in today’s world. I agree with Jordin’s comment and I also think that Brand was in the wrong with his comments – glad my daughter didn’t pick him to idolize – his moral standards are low. Jordin and JB’s y’all rock…

If you go around giving it away you cheapen it.There really is a spiritual realm to remaining pure.Your life takes on deeper meaning in all areas.I hold to “Judge not lest you be judged”That old saying is still true”Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”To me,there is nothing sexier than going after someone who seems hard to catch.And there’s also nothing more romantic than a man chasing after a woman.

As a women who remained a virgin until my wedding night at age 26, I applaud the Jonas Brothers and Jordin Sparks. I cannot understand society’s sexualization of our chldren and teens. Sex is a sacred act, not one to be exploited and certainly not something you do with someone other than your spouse. Traditional? Yes. But with all that is out there today, people should RESPECT their bodies and themselves enough to control their behavior. AIDS is not spread by casual contact and you can’t get pregnant just by kissing someone. Abstinence as birth control works 100% of the time it is used. Is it really worth it to take this chance in today’s world? I decided that I was worth waiting for and I wanted to give my gift of virginity to my future husband.
This “comedian” Brand has very little credibility when he makes fun of people who remain sexually pure until marriage. He is a reformed SEX ADDICT. I know that people make mistakes but he obviously has not learned from his. He continues to act as though sex is a casual thing, when in fact it is a very serious act of love between two people. As for the comment Jordin made, not all people who have had premarital sex are “sluts” but I think people are missing the point in what she said. Her point is, I believe, that sex among unmarried people is way too casual and these days people have multiple partners. By remaining a virgin until marriage, you have eliminated yourself from the possibility of becoming a “slut.” So I agree with her statement. I certainly dd not want to be labeled a slut nor did I want to become one. Once you throw away your virginity, you can’t get it back. So it opens the door to the attitude that since you have already done something, you may as well keep doing it because you can’t turn back. I realize this is not always the case. People who made the mistake of having premarital sex CAN stop and decide to wait. But most of the time this does not happen. Once you open that can of worms, it is hard to put them back in.

Young people sometimes think they are being in style by acting like animals, but even their friends will lose respect for them if they have no common sense and values. Character and moral values set us apart from brutallity and uncivilized behavior. In fact some animals behave better.

Oh, please. Sex is sex. It’s not a normal commodity, like peanut butter, and having more of it doesn’t cheapen it. People who say otherwise probably haven’t had any in years, and need to justify their chastity with the idea that somehow, they are BETTER for not enjoying one of the best things about being human.

I agree with you Ellen. No one needs to have sex who doesn’t want to, but it’s quite different to be able to flaunt one’s “non-sexuality-before-marriage” and be proud of it and then to use that sense of social superiority to judge harshly others for having sex without the benefit of marriage.
I think it would be nice if those of us with different beliefs about the positive value of healthy sexuality (with or without the benefit of a state marriage certificate) could flaunt rings and be praised for it as well. “Hey, there goes that woman who really has her head together around how she expresses her sexuality and handles her relationships.” What shall we call her? Maybe we can reclaim the word slut, but I think that would be difficult.

I totally agree with your comments, Ellen. When I read about her comment to Brand, I found myself feeling a bit more offended by Jordin Sparks than the comedian. He pushes buttons, that’s his job, and is expected. I think she really put her foot in her mouth by deigning so many people, of faith or not, as sluts. I see nothing wrong with purity rings. But i see nothing wrong with someone who is a mature relationship expressing themselves. And calling a lot of people “sluts” just gives Christians that “judgmental” tag that doesn’t make us appear very friendly.

You go young woman. Your mama raised you well,and with values. So much is lost these days,I’m so glad to see a young woman such as yourself with these great values. Many many blessings Jordin Sparks.

Her mama didn’t raise no fool. :~)

I do not condone Jordan’s words, they were angry and one should never speak in anger. Words should come from love, no matter what’s going on. I’m a virgin myself, a choice I made a long time ago. I had a lot of people tell me there are no more virgins, that it’s obsolete. I don’t care. Virginity works for me and no matter what people say, even if they make fun of me (which the have), I know who I am and what I want so who cares? Jordan needs to learn to let things roll off her back and to speak in a way that honors oneself and all who hear it. There is no need to defend a life that’s lived well.

So anyone willing to wear a ring or something that proclaims ones promiscuity instead? Whoever would sell them might actually do good business.
