If they are too god damned stupid to not use one, or too ****ing lazy or cheap to go out and buy them..... then they deserve to deal with that ****.
Allow them to buy them in stores.
Encourage them to use them.
But if you think you are setting teens up for success by giving out free condoms in school based on the false premise that they won't go out and buy their own because they are too dumb........ thats just stupid.
And im not arguing this due to some sort of "OH NOES ITS GOING TO ENCOURAGE TEENS TO ****" aspect.
I find this idea an extension of the bull**** "coddling" of teens that keeps on and keeps on in America. Quit coddling teens and let them face reality, they earned it.
We have been giving free condoms to sailors in the US Navy for much longer than we have teenagers. Where is the outrage for that? At least with teens, there is the valid excuse that they might not be able to afford it and they certainly wouldn't be able to afford either a baby, an abortion, or treatment for an STD. Sailors on the other hand, can (in general) afford any of these things.
