A character in Yahoo Answers who calls himself "Polish" posted this "poem" today:
To Which I responded:
Wow if dumbing down an idea was a way of promoting it instead of making the idea an embarrassment this would be effective. Instead it sends the message that safe sex is for morons.
When one gets a STD - If you are going to get the grammar wrong then saying "one gets" is like you are mocking yourself.
the disease doesn't ask have you ejaculated? - I mean WTF does this have to do with anything? A) gratuitous crude sex reference, B) half your audience has just been told "women: safe sex is not your concern".
any touch of an infected vagina - again a woman-hating remark. Women are 13X more likely to catch HIV from an infected penis; but this is about "dissing women" not AIDS education, is it.
even for a second is good enough - Huh? WTF man. This is just anti-sex. Don't drink from public water fountains kind of BS. Makes the cause of safe sex look like some form of mental illness.
but you like to save the cost of a condom - For the 0.0001% of the population who are too CHEAP to use a condom this is a powerful line; for the rest of us it is idiotic.
now a days guys and gals - nowadays is a word, but like "an STD" spell check is not gonna fix that for you.
have sex with so many - promiscuity is not the only cause of HIV. More wives have gotten it from their husband's drug use than from infidelity.
who has the gift of AIDS for free - who HAVE maybe you mean?
none can say
now you also may donate - Huh? Donate blood, HIV or donate your body to the disease?
so play safe
use condoms
have plenty of water - dehydration is not a risk factor if it stops be happy - yeah if your STD becomes asymptomatic you are okay?? Terrible terrible idea.
else a doc go and see - Yeah, making fun of going to the doctor is REALLY effective.
Your piece is an example of the main causes of HIV :
1) Ignorance
2) combined with know-it-all-ism
3) combined with mis-information.
This is an ANTI -AIDS-EDUCATION poem. It is pro-disease and superstition.
It makes me want to say "Please stay away from sex - it might result in reproduction."
Go see the original poem in Answers
He THEN added:
A young lad asked here
if he would be a victim of AIDS
as he had sex with an unknown girl
without condom
just touched his penis in and around for less than a minute
This was just a warning to him .
And in poetry
the computer and grammar have to be kept in the closet
You all seem to be great poets
grateful you do hear.
To Which I responded:
Edit: So instead of telling him that HIV is VERY hard to transmit and that he should use a condom next time, you filled his head with paranoia and hatred of women. Man that is even sicker than the poem itself. Some times people who know nothing should just shut up.
Footnote:
If this isn't Peter Benoit and one of his woman-hating, ignorant, scare-tactic rant (I am sure the "young man" he made up,) I would be very surprised.
