Question Survey: Fla. Teens Believe Drinking Bleach Will Prevent HIV

http://www.local6.com/news/15773787/detail.html


ORLANDO, Fla. -- A recent survey that found some Florida teens believe drinking a cap of bleach will prevent HIV and a shot of Mountain Dew will stop pregnancy has prompted lawmakers to push for an overhaul of sex education in the state.

Well its somewhat true. If you drink bleach you will die, so HIV will be prevented.

LOL!


I find it very hard to believe that kids are really that stupid. My guess is that they were having some fun. I remember taking a national survey in junior high about drugs, I went ahead and checked off smack, coke and meth at least 2 times a week. I believe surveys are mostly BS.

LOL, I had the same thought.

George Carlin used to do a bit about kids who eat paint chips; if you let them do it for awhile, they won't grow up to give birth to kids who are dumb enough to eat paint chips.

I remember taking those surveys in high school. Total wasted effort. Kids who couldn't get laid in Amsterdam with a roll of $100s were filling out forms like they were Cassonova. After the drug survey, we joked about who had the best/most unbelievable answers. Its just to easy when they let you bubble in an age of 45 and your nationality can be Other: Vulcan.

But this is a state that counted my brother and I as dropouts because we started 1st grade in one school district and graduated high school in a different district.

If you think thats bad you should hear what South Africans consider fool proof protection...

In November 2005, Jacob Zuma, Deputy President of South Africa, drew widespread condemnation from AIDS activists when he revealed that he had unprotected intercourse with the plaintiff in his rape trial, whom he knew to be HIV-positive, and that he had showered after sex, believing that this would reduce his chances of contracting AIDS

Yeah I remember those. According to the one I filled out I was doing crack, pot, and shooting up meth. I also was having wild unprotected sex parties with multiple people.

And no I never tried it.
