Schools distributing Condoms? yes or no?

[Nobel Hobos]

Then why not make sex ed interactive and have your performance graded?

Great idea. We must implement this plan. I will gladly tear up my high school diploma and go back to school just for that.

You're probably thinking of going back to school, with all the other kids the age they were then.

Well, think again. You're going back to school with the exact same people you went to school with. They've all grown up just as much as you have. Some of them are dead. They will be there in the sex ed class with you. In their coffins. Smelling like they are dead.

Condoms are provided at my school. Have been since I was 13 or 14...they're free, and about 70% are just used by first years as waterbombs.

[Olthar]

Well, you markantly ignore the "split into groups of two" order sent off earlier. Not following instructions in a practical doesn't tend to have nice consequences.
Besides if everyone got off on it, you had to be doing something right

Oops, I read that as split off into two groups, i.e. all the heterosexuals on one side of the room being graded by a heterosexual instructor, all the homosexuals on the other side of the room being graded by a gay and a lesbian, respectively. Although I guess that would lead to some legal problems. On the other hand, it would be the only class in which sleeping with the teacher for an A was a legitimate strategy...

But what about the bisexual kids? Could they freely move between both sides of the room?

The only unfair thing is that the homosexual students would generally have a much easier time passing "safety"

It's an exam, they have to pick a side and defend their choice, half answers get no points!

So the necrophiles can get a "pass" mark as well!

[Saiwania]

Which brings up a question I asked someone else earlier that was never answered: how would a state enforce a law against teen sex?

It wouldn't which is why it's dependent on the means of enforcement which is not always possible. My ideal, fantasy dictatorship would have RFID chips implanted in everyone upon birth with a giant computer map electronically tracking everyone everywhere within the country at all times. A national DNA database, a secret police, reeducation centers and all that jazz.

Huh, I think I've found my opposite. Your NS nation is an anarchy, yet you want an oppressive dictatorship in RL. I have an oppressive dictatorship on NS, yet, in RL, I'd want...well a democracy. So, it's not entirely perfect, but it's still a neat coincidence.

Isn't grave robbing illegal also most everywhere?

See, as opposed to everyone else, necrophiles would get a pass mark for abstaining.

It could be made a clause in their wills or whatever.

I'd wanna be a secret policeman there.
Hey! That's illegal boinking! But, suppose i can go next. i won't take you to the police station!

[SD_Film Artists]

Yes, but only if they're those anti-rape vagina-teeth ones.

Yes, condoms do get wasted if they are freely provided.

I commend your school for providing more condoms than are needed.

Condoms are little things, made of sap of rubber trees which do not even die.

Condoms are little things. So humble, yet they do such good.

What monster would take offence at that fool's balloon?

I want the United States to remain as it is in real life as far as government structure, but one can always dream of being the tyrant in charge.

I'm only 20...

Two years out of school then?

Your classmates won't be how you remembered them. You probably stay in touch with some of them (the ones you choose) ... but how would they be, if dragged back to school with you?

You would "gladly go back to school" you say. You cannot. It just does not work that way. Time is a good servant but a bad master.

Indeed, I'd rather a thousand excess condoms be bought and wasted than one child be born to a mother unready to care for it.

I think you're too deeply examining the details of my joke... :/
You really seem to have missed the point entirely.

Then realize that without a government as pervasive and draconian as the one you described, teen sex is going to happen, a lot, whether condoms are provided or not. It's simple human nature.

[Saiwania]

Then why not make sex ed interactive and have your performance graded?

Absolutely not! I'd pull my kid out of that school so fast if that was happening, but mostly because I'd be jealous I didn't get such extensive education when I went to school. But of course if parents agreed to that it should be entirely optional.

[Risottia]

Yes, schools should distribute condoms. Youngsters are going to experiment with sex anyway - let's try, at least, to avoid unwanted pregnancies and STDs.

[Olthar]

But of course if parents agreed to that it should be entirely optional.

So, you're saying that you're fine with teen sex if it's in the context of a school curriculum, but it's strictly wrong and should be entirely illegal? lolwut?

I doubt it.

"I'm only 20" is a joke so broad that an Amphibious Coelacanth Charge would tackle it to the ground pretty effectively.

Don't let me kill your twenties good times though. You have another ten years before you have to face the humiliating stupidity of the choices you made five years ago. And then you can say "but no-one told me!" ... and you'd be mostly right. It's not like I'll be here, bitching at you about how you didn't take my advice.

[The Parkus Empire]

STD's have the right to life.

No I'm not fine with teen sex at all, but I believe there should be sex education that is strictly textbook or academic in nature, explaining all the risks and precautions. No live demonstrations. But that would be my reaction to that hypothetical situation.
