Survey: Fla. Teens Believe Drinking Bleach Will Prevent HIV
Local6 ^ | 4/2/08

Some Teens Also Believe Mountain Dew Will Stop Pregnancy

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.

Well...if you do not have HIV and you drink enough bleach, it will prevent HIV...permanently.

I will go one futher. If you have HIV and you drink enough bleach, it will keep it from turning into AIDS...again, permanently.

If Mountain Dew was one of the multiple choice questions, I’m sure the teens thought it hilarious to circle it. Teens may be airheads but they’re not that stupid.

You would think that not having sexual intercourse is sufficient to prevent contracting HIVs. Apparently, the message has been lost on some kids.

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

What the hell is this? Even the state legislators cannot possibly believe this blatant lie. Teaching kids not to have sex in order to prevent disease and unwanted pregnancy would cause them to believe that bleach prevents AIDS? Any state lawmaker who believes that should be forcibly removed from office immediately, because they are too stupid and ignorant to be in a position of responsibility.

Butt of course condoms will prevent HIV. Nevermind the HIV status of the partners, so long as a condom is involved, sex among consenting organisms is sacrosanct.

I can't believe they are that stupid though. I guess all the money the taxpayer's spent on sex education didn't work? So, they are going to spend more?!

BTW, my teen just told me they had a nosey survey today on something today in class so she just circled “I don’t know” all the way down the page. She’s smart enough to know it’s none of the school’s business.

As Picasso's son discovered it's such a pleasant way to die:

The deepest wound in her life, though, was indirectly inflicted by Roque when she refused to allow Ms. Picasso and her brother to attend Picasso's funeral. Devastated by the rebuff, Pablito drank a bottle of bleach and, after three months of suffering, with Ms. Picasso constantly at his side, he died.

Actually, they are right. If they drink enough of it, it will kill them and then getting the HIV is no longer a concern.

Even if Mountain Dew or bleach wasn't one of the multiple choice answers, it wouldn't beyond some Leftist teacher--like her kin that would put a noose on a doorknob--to write that answer in on the test, and get the mileage of this article as attestation to their ingenuity.

They'll think this method better than any Ph.D. thesis as far as its impact to change education and the way dollars may flow to this arena.

Many years ago, I had to proctor a survey like this at the high school where I was teaching. After the survey, a number of the students were bragging about who gave the most outrageous answers. They figured out that if they didn’t have to put their name on the survey, there would be no consequences. They also saw an opportunity to mess with the establishment.

The lovely St Petersberg Times had an article a few weeks ago on the front page on how the vast majority of FL parents “Floridans Want Sex Education In Schools”.

The SPT seems to have a direct link to the DNC. Whenever the dems want to push for something, a poll or thinly disguised biased editorial appears on the front page. The moment I saw it, I said, hmmm, the Dems must be pushing for Sex education right now.

It’s a whole long article how parents want even their youngest to have sex education in school. So I went looking for the poll. Guess what. It’s not there.

Classic biased misinformation from the MSM. I’ll bet it says something like, do you think your child should have education to prevent contracting diseases or such. The SPT has a clear agenda, and it ain’t to spread the truth.

Heres a link.

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.

What kind of survey? The kind educrats sneak into the classroom without the parents' knowledge or consent?

Was this a multiple choice survey? If so, what normal teen *wouldn't* choose the most absurd answers to intrusive questions?

I can easily imagine such a scenario, with the mentally deficient survey analysts contorting in a twist over the supposed ignorance of the teenagers. Either the warped minds who put out these surveys are too stupid to understand an obvious joke, or they designed the survey to generate such a predictable outcome. That way these pervs can manufacture an excuse to get all worked up and falsely blame abstinence programs.

Never underestimate the wickedness and depravity of people who would craft sex surveys for kids. Talk about an abuse of power.

I’d like a little more information on this “survey” before I accept as true the findings. This sound supsiciously like something that was made up, manipulated, or otherwise conducted with the outcome known in advance. Kids have always thought some dumb things, but a shot of mountain dew is a bit over the top.
