That is... that is just amazing. *disgusted smile* However, sex education never helped me anyway even when it wasn't deceit and lies. But then again, I didn't belong to the target audience.

This is probably not the best way to prevent AIDS.. perhaps the best way to help spread it.. but.. oh never mind, the U.S. stopped making sense a long time ago.

They're probably doing us a favor by trying to kill off the world population.

Actually I'd want to see one of those presentations... For the laughs.

Sigh. This article makes me really sad.
Studies also show that kids who have made an "abstinence pledge" and later change their minds (for whatever reason) are way more likely to get pregnant or contract STDs than kids who never made the pledge, because kids who did make the pledge don't carry condoms with them. -emily |

Keeping people dumb is the most insane idea ever. Look at Africa, where some people even believe having sex with babies will cure them from AIDS.

Well, at least when the Law of the Jungle starts to really kick in a few generations down the line, my descendants should still be around to help save the Earth. (Those future kids of mine had damn well better teach their kids what I'm going to teach them or I'm going to give them an Ass-Whupping From Beyond.)

"courses teach that touching a person's genitals can lead to pregnancy"
That is hillarious... Hey don't touch youself. You'll get pregnant and your father's child will be "YOUR OWN FINGERS"

(My brain boggling at the concept.) This stuff sounds like the stuff the kids in my neighborhood used to tell each other before we'd HAD sex ed or "the talk" and were speculating wildly . . . Heck why even bother, why not let kids just make stuff up. |
