Oh, and put up some vending machines for condoms in the bathrooms in colleges/high schools for the kids who are too chicken to buy condoms in a store.
Brings back memories of uncomfortable awkwardness. I still find it awkward as hell sometimes, depending on the person behind the counter and my blood alcohol level (read: time of day). Of course, the local supermarket has a "check out your own damn groceries, lazy *** bum!" line where you scan your own stuff, hidden from curious eyes. I use this checkout line all the time anyway, because it's faster*, so I can avoid the awkwardness if I want to.
*It's only faster if Nanny McGranny isn't stuck trying to figure out what a credit card is and why the machine won't eat her checks.

Speaking of, in high school we made a game out of going to stores. The challenge is that you can only buy two items, and the goal is to pick the two items that will make the cashier the most uncomfortable. The last time we played I picked a teddy bear and box of condoms. The cashier was like "Aww, date night?"
"Nope, babysitting my nephew."

Hmm now that sounds like a fun game... I might have tried a cucumber and some vaseline
You wouldn't be the first nor the last person who "slipped and fell" on top of a cucumber.
LOL, reminded me of the scene from the TV show The Big Bang Theory where Howard had built the robot arm and was using it to pleasure himself, but it got stuck.. went to the ER and the nurse called over the intercom for helping removing a "robot arm from a man's *****".. howard asked her to be more discrete and she said "I'm sorry but we don't have a code for 'Robot arm grasping a man's *****' ".
I don't think there's a code for "slipping and falling" on a cucumber

I wouldn't be surprised. Men "slipping and falling" on various objects whilst naked isn't such a rare occurrence. Although with the rise of internet shopping and increasing acceptance of gay/bisexual men the number of cases has probably gone down significantly.
Still, there are probably still a lot of stupid people out there who for some reason would rather "slip and fall" on a beer bottle/cucumber/random other objects instead of shelling out $15 and ordering a toy.
Contraception is not really a negative thing in Islam as long as you reproduce at some point (which is also not obligatory even if it's physically possible).
Also, sometime last year I went over stats of HIV infection rates and I think the average in Muslim majority countries is less than a third of the average in the rest of the world. You can probably guess at why that'd be. I'm not saying it's the perfect solution (it requires a lot of religious/cultural stuff you can't just introduce into a new place like that), but it totally works.
Maz: I'm wearing a thing on my head, yeah. Not all the time, though! I actually know some girls who cover their face normally but it's kind of forbidden to do that full time (if you follow Islam properly anyway). I also met a girl from Mecca today. As in, her family actually lives like 15 minutes from the Ka'bah. She said she was thinking I was going to convert months ago and wasn't surprised when it happened. This is a person I've never talked to and I don't even recall ever seeing her around...
I never understood the "abstinence vs contraception" thing. Why do US school have to choose one of the two? Why not teach both? I mean, it's not like they'll have to expand the curriculum or anything. Just toss it in there as an addendum. A suggestion.
You severely underestimate the crazy that is religious fundies. They don't want to teach kids about contraception, because if they know of ways to protect themselves from the punishments of premarital sex (i.e. pregnancy and STDs), then they'll be more likely to actually go have sex. They take this approach so far, they actually tell lies about contraception. That condoms don't work, and they can give you cancer. I'm not kidding. Never mind the fact that even the kids who don't know about contraception go out and have sex anyways. I watched a documentary about abstinence sex ed, which was made by a high school girl from California, recording stuff that went on in her life, and she and her best friend had taken abstinence vows. Y'know what they did instead? They started up a website where they could meet cute older guys and go on dates with them. They didn't have PiV sex with the guys, but they still did oral and ****. Her friend eventually got raped at a prom after party, and for whatever reason, she chose to blame the girl who made the movie. I don't remember why, I saw the movie about a year ago or so.
Know what still bothers me (though it shouldn't by this point)? When people rate you down for the weirdest things. Plenty of posts I make, I make knowing I'll get red arrows. And I'm fine with that. Ones I didn't expect a downrating, but can see why someone would have disliked them? Fine. But sometimes I just can't imagine why anyone would have had a problem with the post, and when no one even references them in a negative manner, I'm just lost.

Yeah, that drives me nuts too Digg. Or when you get downrated for something that is merely a semantics disagreement. A while back when we were talking about whether or not the US is "strong" I said that I didn't consider strength to be comparative term, and I got rated down to sub-default. If people disagree, fine, but I thought that was overkill.

That's kind of like saying how great Singapore is because they have very low drug use over there, sure there's little drug use over there but you can get the death sentence for being caught with a bag of weed so yeah... If the pressure to get married and have a limited amount of sex partners is that high, sure AIDS will be less widespread but I can't say I really like that reason. (Although it's still preferable over the Catholic church's condoms are evil and you shouldn't use them thing.)

I have to laugh at the "I want to stay a virgin until I'm married. But ****'s OK!" thing. I mean, how retarded do you have to be to still think you're a virgin if you've had **** sex? But following that reasoning, gay guys can't have real sex so all gays are still virgins!
It is pretty idiotic, yeah. I think it stems from the concept of viewing the bible as literal instead of figurative though. From talking with John (who was raised Independent Baptist and was a virgin until he and I started dating), I've learned that the reason behind not having sex (of any variety) before marriage, was to keep one pure. Not just physically pure, but emotionally and mentally pure as well. In the world he grew up in, you weren't even supposed to hold hands with your boyfriend or girlfriend, let alone kiss or engage in any sort of sexual contact. Of course, most young folks weren't that good at following the rules, but they didn't partake in **** or oral sex either.
But yeah, having **** or oral sex (or even mutual ************* still violates your mental and emotional purity, if not your physical purity (since the hymen is still intact and all). Christians who don't realize this just aren't thinking things through all the way.
Christians who think abstinence works aren't thinking things through to start with, you can hardly expect their kids to start thinking things through with examples like that.
Also, relevant to the discussion. More relevant stuff, this time in the form of an interview with Mr **** sex by product. I've only read the article so far (video is 45 min) but a quote from the accompanying article: "One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country".
