Happy Hour Invite Etiquette

again drugged up to their eyeballs

Another case of Malaprensa say. 20 Minutos.es entitled following on the front page of its website: "The young English people think that taking drugs is 'normal'." To freak out, right? What a youth are raising, go country of drug addicts, hung and petite fuck future awaits us. (I put the catch because the page is changing.)

.

.
However, it is a lie. Incredibly, that headline has been extracted as a summary of a study concludes that: "Contrary to the stereotype, and according to research results, we can state that does not trivialize the English youth drug consumption, but on the contrary they know the risks but choose to consume "those who do, which is a minority, for reasons mainly to do with the benefits they expect after consumption."
.
I do not know if it seems to me only, but the headline suggests the opposite of what the study says. It's completely distorted (the holder, say). If you read the data from the study will find that when young people talk about "normal", the question relates to the general risks of adolescence, not just those produced by drugs. This press release says: "Young people make a reading of positive risk: 41% of young people consider the risk inherent to their age, something that must be faced and overcome as positive. 23.6% is shown basically agree that living with risk - of all kinds, not just those arising from drug use and - is a must on your age, but are inclined reflection and caution. "(emphasis added)
.
words, do not eat because it is normal, but the question of whether risk-takers, in general, a large group yes, and that (take risks, say, do not get to the top of cocaine) is normal for their age.
.
However, only 41% of young people think that, so I think they are exaggerating a bit when the place holder 'young', well, crude, when in fact it is not even half of them and even they are referring specifically to drug use. As an example of the headline is an absolute exaggeration (or lie directly), the study finds that 85% of young people consider that taking pills involves a level of maximum risk or very high, and the figure rises to 86.1% for cocaine. In addition, 87.1% believe that cocaine is not worth anything and 89%, the pills either. From all this, the paper concludes that "Young people think that taking drugs is normal."
. The headline interior
lower the tone, but has not succeeded at all: 'The young English people think that drug use is "bad" but "normal" age. "

Thus, either would be entirely correct. First, because we have already seen that the 'normal' is qualified (or lie directly). And second, because they put on an equal basis to young people who believe that drugs are bad and those who believe that consumption is normal, when a vast majority (over 85% always) believe that hard drugs are bad, and are less than half normal risk (again, and refers to risks in general, not even just the drug). The fault is not only 20 minutes, as the study says that in your head, but then you read it and realize it's not exactly true. Although not exempt from blame the journalist, as it could have looked at study, which is accessed in a couple of minutes and verify that the holder of the press release was not entirely correct.
.

guess, however, say that young people are not as evil or as sons of bitches as we thought (that is, tell the truth) will sell fewer newspapers to exaggerate and lie. Much more alarming.
