Yup, the only way to get respect for your own beliefs is by respecting those of others...the only way to achieve that is by learning about them, if that means visiting a mosque, temple or synagogue then so be it.
Anyway, if that girl wants to remain chaste rather than chased then all she has to do is dress modestly and politely rebuff any over amorous advances...it doesn't take a ring to achieve that.

By selling them for more than he is buying them for, quite clearly.
Quite clearly? I do know of some Christian girls who chose to do this but bought their rings in the local jewellers. I haven't heard of any one church or organisation selling them.

Theres not just one, theres multiple ones, I assumed we were refering to the parents of the girl who was suing. As goes the jewelers, they're doing the same thing - making money off it.
And as its a trademarked design, its all coming back to one source who are, amazingly, making money off it!
That said, its amazingly hard to convince some Catholics here that JJ Lalor don't print misselettes and donation envelopes out of the goodness of their hearts, but for pure profit, just as they print bookie slips...
What trademark design? As I said I do know of a couple of Christian girls who chose to do this but as one of them has now been married for 5 years and has two children, that tells you how long this 'fad' has been around. They just chose to wear a ring on their left hand in the same way some Christians would wear a cross.

"The Silver Ring Thing" is the American fad, which has a trademarked design for a specific ring, and is what this court case was over. Some people may use other rings, but there is a money making venture at the core of this.
I'm sure they do.
I haven't heard of any 'trademark' design for a ring.

What has this got to do with being right wing?

I just mentioned one above, which the parents of the girl who sued are the UK distributors for!
Oh. They're not very good at distributing then are they?

Clearly not. I'd suggest they join up with Youth Defence here, that seems to grab all the heavily religious teenage girls extremely quickly....
The point I made earlier is that they seem to be about 8 years too late.
