Jump To Comment: 1 2Every pub and students union in Ireland has a condom machine. They can also be purchased at virtually every pharmacy in the country. Are the 40,000 students to whom these condoms are to be distributed incapable of operating condom machines or going into a pharmacy and asking for them? Talk about a nanny state. What next? Perhaps USI will distribute 40,000 cans of diet coke to students who are too dumb to operate diet coke machines or to go into a shop and ask for a diet coke. Oh, I forgot. Diet coke is banned in students unions. I seem to remember a similar campaign a year ago. Yet you say sexually transmitted diseases have risen in the past year. So, it looks like last year's campaign wasn't a great success. What makes you think this year's will be any more successful? Maybe the lack of success is due to the fact that condoms are not foolproof in protecting against either sexually transmitted disease or pregnancy. They often break. I bet the male USI officers don't mention that to the female students they distribute them to before asking them to bed. Still, nice to see USI putting aside its hatred of capitalism and neo-liberalism and backing a campaign that's sponsored by a capitalist company and endorsed by a PD.
"nice to see USI putting aside its hatred of capitalism and neo-liberalism and backing a campaign that's sponsored by a capitalist company and endorsed by a PD."
Well John, that would be it - final proof that you are totally insane. Anyone who could identify USI as an "anti-capitalist" organisation is clearly gone well round the twist. I suppose Fine Gael are a pack of Marxists too
