forced to carry condoms

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4603442.stm


Colombia Plans Teenage Condom Law

Colombian teenagers could be forced to carry condoms in an effort to stop unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

The man proposing the scheme says men over the age of 14 in the town of Tulua should have to carry condoms, just as they carry ID cards, or face a fine.

"The measure does not force anyone to have sex, but to protect themselves," Councillor William Pena told El Tiempo.

But a local priest has compared the scheme to "selling guns on the street".

Last year, 14 people died in Tulua due to sexually transmitted diseases.

This shows an increase of 50% from 2003, according to figures published by the daily.

"This is a country with a lot of sexual activity and Tulua is no exception," Mr Pena told El Tiempo.

Moral question

Father Jesus Velasquez, however, describes the proposals as absurd.

"It would be like selling guns on the streets," he said. "What is needed is education and respect for moral and Christian values."

The scheme, which has yet to be formally proposed, has had a mixed support from officials and elsewhere.

Fifteen-year-old Luis Enrique Llanos believes the measure could be arbitrary.

"A repressive measure won't do any good," he told El Tiempo. "It's a personal responsibility whether to carry a condom or not. Not everyone over 14 is having sex."

apparently its bad for the condom to carry it in your wallet due to temperature fluxuations, humidity and movement.

Yeah, but if you use it quickly, it'll never have time to get mashed up.

Ha!

One time I had a condom in my wallet in the summer. It somehow broke open in my wallet and the spermicidal lube got all over my debit card and melted the magnetic strip. That was a hard one to explain to the bank.

It is a good idea...because you just never know. But makingit a law is stupid. Besides, picture this:

Police Officer : Excuse me young man.
Young Man: Yes Officer?
PO: Can I see your wallet?
YM: Excuse me?
PO: I want to see if you have a condom in there.
