SEALED WITH A KISS
I’m sure you’ve seen the wire story today about the 15 year old girl who died after kissing her boyfriend. Apparently, the girl had a severe peanut allergy and her boyfriend had just eaten a peanut butter snack.
It’s a tragic story, and I can’t imagine how her boyfriend must feel.
I’ve started an office pool on how long it will take before someone on the religious-right comes out and states that the girl’s death is God’s judgment on her lascivious behavior, and how this should serve as reminder to all teenage girls about the dangers of premarital kissing.
You think I’m kidding,
I give it until tomorrow afternoon.
I’ll post a link.

Well let me be the first. The bible clearly states that you are a slut and will go straight to hell if you kiss before marriage and then you must kiss and have sex with your husband who is the boss, whenever he demands it.
Actually, that is really sad. I wonder if that is the first case of that happening. I did not hear about it this time and I have never heard of this before. I wonder why she wasn’t carring an eppi pen (SP?)
I hadn’t heard that. How tragic. You’re right though, there’s always a group somewhere that will jump on something like that and try to use it to their advantage.
And peanut products will now be banned from every school in the nation… No more PBJ. They’ll put peanut butter in the back room, to be “asked” for, like they’ve now done for decongestants…
I’d like to know what is causing these great allergic reactions nowadays? I never remember anyone being so highly allergic to substances like that when I was growing up.
What a sad, sad story. I have a friend that is very allergic to peanuts and would die if she came in contact with them. She’s very careful to avoid them! Thank goodness I’m not on the religious right you talk about!
I hadn’t actually heard about this.
I’ll take tomorrow morning, 10 bucks.

Oh I believe you. I’m waiting for the religious reaction to a piece of marble falling off the Supreme Court today.
It probably will happen! lol We watched that show Wife Swap tonight. I love that show. The moms that traded places were a preachers wife and an atheist. It was pretty heated! lol
That is so terribly sad. I hadn’t thought of what you project will happen, but sadly, you’re probably right. My cousin and her daughter have terrible peanut allergies. When we were 14, I was eating with her at a fish and chips place. Turned out they fried their fish in peanut oil. She instantly broke out in hives and had trouble breathing. Thank goodness her dad, who was a doctor, wasn’t far away!

You are probably right! People are so ready to jump on any little thing to rationalize their beliefs….but that poor young guy – to go thru life thinking your kiss killed someone —–and the poor girl……..so sad
I heard bout it too… Unfortunately it is very deadly. I have a nephew who has it…but he has to carry an emergency kit with him anyplace he goes. When they go to visit people we all know to get rid of the peanut butter in the house until he is gone. Even his school has the cafeteria remove it from their menus. The class mates know to not have it in their lunch boxes too. But they all do pretty good about helping him out. They cannot have any type of peanut product on them….not even peanut oil.
The gal should have had an emergency pack of some sort on her. and yes, I bet that guy feels just awful.
Marrrrkkkkkk….when you gonna talk some more about WALMART???
…or …what about that insane guy who punched Billy Jo Daughtery in the face while going up for an altar call? Was that not something….I just knew you would have had a piece on that one.
Well, we all know how Katrina was God’s way of cleansing New Orleans of all its Sins…so hell why not peanut allergies and kissing…just think of the possibilities! Poor kids.
Sorry Jordan… I’m going to have to take your 10 bucks and raise you 5 on this guy….

….or perhaps there will be a comment from the liberal left stating that the peanuts were contaminated by some polluting capitalist pig.
Geeeeze, keep the zealots at bay will ya, it was all I could do to abstain from sex before marriage this time….much less kissing.
I heard about this at church. They were saying how sinful it is to kiss before marriage and all that.
Just kidding. No, I really did hear about it at church. Someone was warning us about peanut allergies and to have some CONSIDERATION (emphasizing is mine) for those kids that are allergic and could die.
So what was the concensus? Did you win or lose the office pool?
