Many of these programmes, especially the "faith-based initiatives" preach about the failure rate of condoms, which teaches teenagers that they may as well not bother with them. Kids always think they're indestructible and always will. But give them REAL information so they can make a REAL decision.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-65548004976658613862006-12-02T05:18:00.000+13:002006-12-02T05:18:00.000+13:00While I totally agree with your assessment of the ...While I totally agree with your assessment of the Bushies, I believe that people are still getting AIDS because they somehow got the idea that they are immune and are having unprotected sex. AIDS is absolutely preventable, if people would just control their lust. Yes, abstinence is not a likely solution, but common sense should be. True, it isn't easy to refrain when the libido goes into high gear. But if your life is at risk, a choice must be made. Sadly, today, too many are choosing to tempt fate.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-69291072475611104612006-12-01T22:28:00.000+13:002006-12-01T22:28:00.000+13:00Wow--I was just on your blog commenting on how we ...Wow--I was just on your blog commenting on how we were both blogging on this topic, only to find out you were here doing the same--freaky, <i>non</i>?Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-38863631797680168292006-12-01T22:17:00.000+13:002006-12-01T22:17:00.000+13:00Glad to see we are blogging on the same topic toda...Glad to see we are blogging on the same topic today!lost in francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133448605980627117noreply@blogger.com
