yes it does

It doesn't make you safe but it reduces the odds and that was the only point I was making and thats the point the counselors were making and I believe them. I never suggested anyone is invincible to Aids but fear is a powerful tool.

I'm the anti-stalker -- if you pointed me to your facebook page I wouldn't even look at it.

That said I'm far from shocked, hear stuff twice as offensive on a weekly basis (behind closed doors, of course).
I wasn't at all offended, just shocked at the ignorance.

Hey, Avengerfire! Point proven.

I had a friend studying aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech (one of the top schools for this field), and he was all up in arms because there was a "grass roots" movement in Alabama to pass a law mandating that the value of Pi be changed from 3.14...... to 3. Why? Becuause apparently there is some discussion of this in the Bible where it talks about the construction of Solomon's Temple. Several elected legislators were on board for this. Could you imagine the effect this would have had on math instruction in that state? It's just incredible to me that people are this dumb. It's like saying 1 + 1 = 4!

But buck up. There are plenty of valid cases of stupidity and confirmation bias all over the place.
