Survey: Fla. Teens Believe Drinking Bleach Will Prevent HIV

Some Teens Also Believe Mountain Dew Will Stop Pregnancy

:eek:

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.


The survey showed that Florida teens also believe that smoking marijuana will prevent a person from getting pregnant.

State lawmakers said the myths are spreading because of Florida's abstinence-only sex education, Local 6 reported.

They are proposing a bill that would require a more comprehensive approach, the report said.

It would still require teaching abstinence but students would also learn about condoms and other methods of birth control and disease prevention.

The bill just passed its first vote in a committee, Local 6 reported.

    Ha. It's so absurd yet at the same time believable enough to make it really fucking creepy.

    well, they are probably right.

    You drink enough bleach, you die.
    You can't get AIDS if you're dead.

    Good thing our country pushes abstinence first sex edjamakashun. Maybe praying will prevent HIV. If a kid is dumb enough to think a capful of bleach will keep them safe from the HIV, I hope they just chug a bottle of Chlorox and do us all a favor. How fucking dumb do you have to be? Man, stupid, stupid, stupid.

    And how many of these douche bags that will only let people teach abstinence actually kept their dick in their pants through their teenage years? It's called nature, and no matter how hard we hit kids with Bibles (or rape them... ahem, catholics) it won't change anything. It's called accepting reality and doing our best to cope with it. Yes, teens are going to bone. No, Jesus will not help this. Condoms are our friends!

    It's appalling what people will believe. People are weird. How do you effectively treat diabetes and a dying patient through prayer alone? How does Coke keep you from getting pregnant? How does drinking bleach prevent HIV except through killing you? How was reelecting George Bush supposed to help us? I don't get any of these things. So many people qualify for Darwin Awards that we'll probably all end up receiving one when the branch "homo sapiens" falls off the evolutionary tree. It seems bound to happen.

    It is 2008 and people they are just realizing now that it might be a good idea to teach kids about condoms? Really? That's crazy.

    how many is "some"? and let's be honest; it's a survey about sex given to high schoolers I'm sure no one gave any answers to be a smart ass :rolleyes: I'm not saying that some don't believe that, but I'd really like to know how reliable they think the questionnaire is.

    edit: and where are the parents in this? Why aren't parents "parenting" their children and having conversations with them.

    The best part about sex is shaking up the can of coke and then cracking the top and cleaning my partner out so she dosen't get pregnant. Throw in some poprocks and watch her have another orgasm.
    You've changed your place in this world!
