Condoms for teen agers

[DuncanONeil]

I think you have a misunderstanding of discipline.

I'd say it takes far more discipline to choose to use a condom than to just go do it. It takes preparation, consent, willingness to be responsible for ones actions...

Condoms, especially condoms as part of sex education, represent knowledge and responsibility. Without that, it's just kids being their natural irresponsible selves.
Whereas I obviously think it's just the opposite.

I would much prefer that six be the prime definition. Way too many people are fixated on, what, the first two!

That may well be... but don't say I am somehow incapable of choosing my words correctly, implying that my misunderstanding of some word invalidates my arguement.

Such would be an apochryphal implication.
