I suppose that's one way of getting the message across... and probably one of the lamest things I've ever seen on the 'net!

Good message, dont drink and do pills.
i took a dump this morning.. no one applauded...
..oh. didn't really realize until about 2 minutes in that those people are mentally challenged..
hmm.
ooh i see....
Yup, which again is why they should be applauded for trying.
Making a film was a way for the teacher to get these students to think creatively about how drugs affect people in general.
Then hope that those students leartn from it
Maybe talktofrank could use it.
Given that the some of the students obviously have down syndrome its hardly surprising that they cant grasp the finer points of neuro chemistry and the interactions between certain chemical compounds.
Obviously trying not to be patronising I would think the message Do Not Do Drugs is an entirely wise policy for them.
And I still think the message about not drinking and doing pills is very wise indeed. Just because you choose to ignore the dangers doesnt make them any less real.
I think it was more aimed at the other people at their school since it was a school website it was taken from.
Say if someone with downs syndrome took Ecstasy how do you think they would react on it?
I think years ago i knew this guy in work and i think he was downs syndrome or there was something else wrong i cant remember.... anyway he used to get pilled up quite often or at least so he claimed anyway! he sounded pretty genuine seemed to know what he was talking about and loved it.
I would think that it would be confusing, especially if there were hallucingenic effects too.
However, they could well take it and enjoy it same as others.
This does of course present a somewhat troublesome ethical question in that should people with learning difficulties have the same rights as those without them.
Of course with simple things they should in terms of the normal human rights.
But, would it be ethical to sell someone with learning difficulties LSD even if you knew they wanted to take it?
I would say no.
