very clever word play.
It makes perfect sense to reduce tax on items which affect the public good. Purely economically, more safe sex means less unwanted pregnancy means less burden on the state paying child support.
The social reasoning behind something like this is frankly fucking obvious and should need no explaining to anyone over the age of 6, let alone moderately educated middle class designer types.

but it will encourage the gays kelpie. its like saying its ok to practice filth.
- kelpie0
that's ok though, cos we need lots of them to make our new glue with once the horses run out.

i never understood why people don't go for plastic gloves.
- skt0
for fisting?
- Witt0
jesus almighty!
no. it's that they can be re-used...
- kelpie0

- skt0
fisting?
- Witt0
well you can do it (at least) 5 times with a single glove.
- kelpie0

(Nov 9 07, 03:19)oh... well then i guess in your case you'd profit from a tax-cut.

(Nov 9 07, 03:02)Now I get it, dumb me. I'll go further, petition for less tax on beer, it's really amazing for the kidneys you know. Flushes them like a UK tidal surge*
Healthy kidneys => less transplants => less date-rape/kidney-stealing drugs in circulation
Or, we could lower VAT on everything => everyone can afford condoms and pays for their socialist services. No?
*I really hope today's UK tidal surge didn't kill anybody

that was a lot of horseshit.

If one is worried about the price of condoms, one can always use saran wrap and a twisted rubber band.

so how much is a condom anyway? here's it like 1€ for 3-pack (i think). You can't cut it below that without having some holes on them.
