You're right: no one has specifically said "I'm against using condoms". They all simply berated me because I suggested she use minimal amounts of foresight (by using a condom) rather than taking a potentially deadly alternative (waiting until she gets pregnant and taking a trip to mexico for illegal drugs to kill the…

So, are we calling each other names now? Okay cunt, your comments are stupid, add nothing to the conversation, and are completely devoid of any sort of creativity. In the course of 60 seconds, you managed to call me a dipshit three times without actually saying anything. If you had done that on purpose, rather than…

Not if the condom is used improperly, dipshit. It's not the spoon's fault that you got fat, and it's not the car's fault that you crashed, it's because you used those tools improperly. If you use the car properly and you still crash, THEN it's the car's fault. Fortunately, that's EXTREMELY rare. Likewise with condoms.

Yeah, because sex is the time to pass the buck. Birth control and STD barriers are something *both* parties should take very seriously - you're fucking stupid if your reason for not using condoms is because it's not your body. That shit is going IN your body, you'd better know damn well that it's properly equipped.

They're very nearly perfect in terms of functionality if you use them properly.

Nothing but abstinence is, but thanks for playing.

Yes, because my tone has any effect on the validity of my statement.

I'm not saying it's something to be proud of, I'm saying it so you understand that I didn't read the rest of the post, so you don't responding with irrelevant things like "LOL U DIDNT RESPOND TO THIS THO SO I MUST BE RITE"

I've only got her post to go off of, just like you. My inferences are based on what she said, yours are based on what you're assuming are truths, even though you have no real reason to believe them (they just happen to make sense to you).

She already knows when her contraceptive stops working. She says she's uninsured and has 3 kids, leading to the idea that she'll have to go without it. I'm saying that at that time, instead of planning to go south of the border, potentially killing herself with an untested abortion process (leaving 3 kids without a…

She was clear? Sorry, could you point out where she said "stop messaging me"? The last thing I see in the message log was her asking more questions about it. She did at one point say she might be interested in it once or twice, but not for a lifetime. He seems like he respected every boundary she set, which was zero.

You're right, asshole - it's better for her to take a prescription medication for stomach ulcers to get rid of her baby than to use a fucking condom and prevent it because, as one jezebellian already said, sex without a condom "feels sooooo much better". Jesus, how stupid are you people?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or supportive, so I'll just re-state the original argument: She should use condoms instead of using a potentially deadly drug for a back-alley abortion.

*My basic understanding of probabilities

Right, except you're missing the point - the failure rate of 18% isn't the *condom's* fault, it's *your* fault - that's like saying that Microsoft makes bad software because you're too stupid to figure out a keyboard and mouse.

What the fuck is your problem? It's perfectly acceptable for him to be like "Hey, this is my lifestyle, I'd like you to be a part of it." and then, when she shows some level of interest (which I'm sure is rare), he makes a little extra effort by sending a couple extra messages.

Yes, because for the most part, people are sane and good. That's why we see news stories about the ones that aren't - they're exceptionally rare cases. Even if we count rape, which I'd imagine is the most common horrific crime that women experience from dates, that's still only a one in twenty chance that the guy…

tl;dr only read the first two sentences

They're not 'significantly less effective', they're 'significantly easier to fuck up', which is a big difference.
