George W. Bush’s legacy.


Pregnant, bleach drinking, dope-smoking teenagers — Christianity sure has changed during the Boy Emperor’s family values, do as I say, not as I do, mouthbreathing wingnut reign of teh crazy.

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.

I wonder how SUZANNE feels about this.

Pro-lifers: when you advise people to use contraception, you are perpetuating the problem, not stopping it. Because they use contraception, and it fails, and they go out and have another abortion.

The only surefire way to avoid an unintended pregnancy is to avoid sex.

Holy dancing Jesus ... forget I asked.

I read that the other day. Unbelievable. Drinking a cup of bleach... can you imagine? Where would anyone get such a harebrained idea? And wouldn't it make you vomit, or worse?

Or burn your throat. Apparently there is a camp out there swallowing bleach to negate the effects of a drug urinalysis.

What happens when one of these kids gets diagnosed with HIV and decides to swallow a bottle of bleach to kill it?

I imagine this abstinence only sex education policy is a product of Gov. Jeb Bush. No wonder the Bushes get along with the Saudis so well. Their views on social issues are just as enlightened.

No, no, no. The only surefire way to avoid an unintended pregnancy is to avoid sex with the opposite sex. Important point.


What?

Five thousand years of human civilisation and not once did anyone stop anything because of someone's tiresome scolding.

SUZANNE makes me want to go out and have an abortion, just out of pure spite.

Bleach and (stomach)acid releases chlorine gas or other, and it burns - very badly. It can kill you or damage your GI tract, esp. the esophegus. [I've heard about sickoids that soaked bread in bleach and let sea-gulls eat it, then the bird's stomachs would explode. Sick shit]

Holy shit! Look at wikipedia!!?!:

Bleach has also been discovered to prevent HIV. This was discovered when a college student, Steve Walkins, was dared to drink a cap of bleach. A week before he had been tested postive for HIV. When he went to his doctor, the disease had gone away. He then began to drink a cap of bleach twice a day, every day. However, he was later found dead with a cup of bleach spilled next to him.

Holy shit indeed. And this is a brilliant example of why people need critical thinking skills and a basic understanding of science.

Ye gods.

Yeesh... and people claim us D&D players live in fantasy worlds. At least we're not teaching our kids that the tooth fairy will come along and bless them with cavity free teeth.

Idiots.

Incidentally if you scroll down in that wikipedia entry you'll see that you can decompose bleach into hydrazine. Hydrazine is used as rocket fuel and is a primary component in the fuel/air explosives used in BLU-82's. Hydrazine is also incredibly toxic and dangerous and is supposedly why the USMIL decided to shoot down that satellite rather than letting it crash. Because nothing makes toxic fuel more easy to manage than spreading it over a wider area.

Was that irony or do people actually write vague hearsays as proof?

No no no, bleach doesn't cure HIV infection. Money does. Don't you guys watch Southpark anymore? Pure distilled money, loads of money will cure the HIV pandemic!

I find it more worrysome that teenagers can't see the danger in drinking bleach, than the obvious need of sex ed in school. It means that the level of basic education is way underscaled!

Yes dear, you shouldn't drink bleach, it's bad for
you. And if you don't want to listen to strangers, read the warning label on your bleach bottle!!!
