Let me ask you something. Do you use condoms? Do you practice safe sex? Maybe none of my business but why are you so stuck on this whole thing? Safe sex campaigns where the norm in the late 80's early 90's but after Magic Johnson out lived the deadly aids, people stopped listening. Learning about safe sex, like everything else starts in the home.
There have been and still are adult movies showing people with condoms on and all they tell people is the person wearing it or receiving it probably has something or is concerned about getting something. When I see images or movies with such things I don't see a company that required their actors to be tested. I see a company that just wanted to make a movie and did not care who was going to be acting. I see actors who needed cash so bad that they are willing to risk their lives for it, in hopes that the condom won't break. Surly they have not seen any documents stating the person was recently tested. If they had and they‘re still requiring the person to wear one then there is a fear in place that is well justified but just stupid to ignore to the point of taking such a risk. But did it ever make me put one on? Hell no! Will it ever make me put one on? Hell no! All it made me think was someone in that image has something that can kill the other person.
I never said that dumb people don’t know how to use a condom. I mean come on, how hard is it to figure out. Sure maybe you break the 1st one the very first time but after that if you can't figure out how they work maybe you should not be having sex in the first place. And if that is the case then you are dumb. They’re no different then putting on a jacket, shoe or hat. Leave one with a 5 year old child and they will figure it out rather fast (clothing, not the condom). But my point on the dumbness of people is simple. If you are going to be with someone you barely know and you both have not been tested, and you are still willing to have sex with them with out a condom, in today’s world you are dumb. Just like playing with a loaded gun. With all the violence you see in the world from them, if you are going to play with one then you are dumb and most likely will pay a heavy price for it sooner or later. If you can’t figure out from all the media and TV shows that a loaded gun is something that can kill you, then you are a dumbass.
I have never ever heard anyone say condoms are ineffective. I have heard people say the only way to be 99% sure you won't catch anything is by not having sexual contact at all, but never that a condom is ineffective. Maybe they’re telling you that in Washington state but then again, I don't know. Last time I was there the people seemed smarter then that.
You’re talking about looking for a solution a solution to what? STD's? Under age kids having kids? You’re correct there is no one magic bullet to fix all this, but fact remains it will never be fixed and trying to fix it is a waste of time. Trying to promote a way to fix it is a waste of time.
So now you’re going to what? Jump on me and say I'm lazy and should be ashamed to just sit back and let people die. News flash it happens every minute of the day and honestly everything that relates to a persons life starts from the home. I really do believe that in 99% of the causes of every problem we have in this world can be traced back to the parents. But that’s a whole other issue, but it’s the real issue that needs to be fixed. Raise your kids proper, to respect themselves and others and most of these issues will go away. In today’s world most parents are to busy to care, but very quick to point the finger, never ever placing blame where it belongs, on them. If they took to time to promote such things as love, honesty, peace, responsibility, respect, political awareness, education and yes proper sexual practices and physical hygiene, instead of making a buck is all that matters. Then you would not be concerned with this issue because it would not be a huge issue in this world.
Regardless of what I say we are never going to see eye to eye on this. I am from an old school, where hitting your children is a good thing, where a hand shake means something. Where your word is all you have when you die, so make sure you live up to it. Where respecting your family enough to teach them good values is all that matters for a real man. I am not of the tree hugging way of life. I do not believe in fixing others problems before fixing your own. I believe in standing up for what you believe is right and that furrygirl is about the only thing we have in common and for that I respect you. You have shown here that you are intelligent and very educated and I would think you would realize there are better things to do with your time then try and save the world.
