It sounds like a great idea, but I dont agree with the mandatory aspect of it.

The government should not be able to impose regulations as to what you do in your sexual life.

I understand what he is trying 2 do and also is a good idea, but what ever happened 2 human rights?? Now they are telling u what do 2 in your bedroom forget that….

This is a great idea but they shouldn't have come to this !

Pple should be responsible ! See what that kid says ! If most of the kids support it, why were they not doing it before ?

"Ramiro Cano, a 19-year-old laborer in Tulua, said Wednesday that the proposal was the talk of the town, and said most young people he has talked to support it."

WOw! It would help control the HIV problem and all STD's as well. Also reduce the number of unwanted pregnancy's. Over all a good idea but i would hate to be using condoms everytime. I mean if u're in a relationship theres always other contraceptions....

Have you guys heart about this?

A western Colombian city councilman wants to require everyone in town 14 or older to carry a condom to prevent pregnancy and disease, outraging local priests.

William Pena, a councilman in Tulua, said Wednesday he will present a formal proposal to force all men and women - even those just visiting - to always carry at least one condom. Those caught empty-pocketed could pay a fine of $180 or take a safe sex course, he said.

"Sexual relations are going on constantly," Pena told The Associated Press by telephone. "If you carry a condom, chances are you'll use it during the day. It's not going to be there forever."

Tulua has one of the highest rates of AIDS in Colombia, he said. The proposal will be debated by other town leaders and could go into effect by March, he said.
