Fundies: Taxpayers are subsidizing teenage fornication in Washington DC

[marmar]

from a nutball website affiliated with the extra nutballish American Family Assn.:



City officials in our nation's capital have meekly yielded to complaints from its randy high schoolers and agreed to hand out, at taxpayer expense, the condoms of the students' choice.

Apparently the teens were insulted that the city was offering an inferior brand of protection - Durex - rather than the coveted Trojan variety. The appeal of the Trojan brand? Their condoms have a "bling quality" since they come in a glittery gold package.

And students were also ticked that they actually had to go to the school nurse to get them. One student, T. Squalls, said that, "If people get what they don't want, they are going to trash them. So why not spend a few extra dollars and get what people want?" The money being spent here, of course, is not Mr. Squalls' own, so it's quite easy for him to demand that other people spend more money on his sexual pleasure.

Now students will be able to get condoms from any cool teacher who completes a half-hour online training course called "WrapMC" -- for "Master of Condoms."

"We thought making condoms available was a good thing, but we never asked the kids what they wanted," said D.C. Council member David A. Catania (I-At Large), chairman of the health committee. That's because, Mr. Catania, you know what they want - unlimited, hassle-free sex with somebody else picking up the tab for the cesspool of STDs that inevitably result.

City officials are offering condoms for free online and at barbershops (!), liquor stores and youth centers.

Apparently there is a stigma attached to condom use, and officials are trying to "destigmatize" it. Well, if you're trying to destigmatize something, why not destigmatize abstinence before marriage and fidelity afterwards? It still works every time it's tried. ..........(more)

1. Gosh, that's important.

2. I'm still waiting for those right wingers who were actually abstinent before marriage

and faithful afterwards to proclaim how well it worked for them.

*sigh*

Why do kids need to even ask a teacher for a condom--isn't that stigmatizing? They should put them in a basket and put them out so anyone can grab a few w/out making a big deal of it.

3. Why am I highly suspicious as the the "facts" behind this "story"?

:crazy:

5. There is some made up stuff in there, but the base story is true

I think it was HuffPost who ran it the other day. The angle wasn't about 'bling' though, it was the condoms being handed out were too small so they had to offer the larger version for the more well-endowed kids.

4. Because "randy high schoolers" hang out at barber shops and liquor stores?

That doesn't even make sense.

6. Teenagers fornicate?

Who did all the begattin' in the bible?

[Kerrytravelers]

8. There was no fornicatin' in the Bible. The storks brought all 12 Disciples and Jesus.

:shrug:










:rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

11. LOL! Now that the storks are covered in oil and dying what will happen to the christians?

Won't their numbers drastically decrease? :shrug:

14. Probably one of the better uses for tax money that I've heard of.

:P

15. More fun from Anti-Choicers.

The fact of the matter is, these "American Family Ass" people haven't had a satisfactory orgasm in decades, if ever- and they want everyone else to be just as miserable as they are.

16. I am glad to be doing something to keep those kids off the streets. nt

[arcane1]

17. So... are they saying condoms cause STDs?

That's just kooky.
