How do you feel about purity rings?

Asked by JLeslie (65446points) February 13th, 2011

From what I understand they are rings that symbolize a promise between a parent and child signifying the child will not have premarital sex.

To be honest I find it creepy if it is actually a promise to parents. I mean does the parent buy the ring for the child? They present the child with the ring? Is it just for girls?

Worse, in this wikipedia page it says the US government under Bush has given $1 million to an evangelical church to promote absitenece and sell its purity rings. What?! Did that shit happen under other presidents? Is it still happening now under Obama?
