<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for the clarification on being able to
purchase them; I was curious on the 'restrictions' on them in Texas. Heh,
I've only been here a year so there very well could have been a restriction that
I did not know about. :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That being said, I guess it would depend
on the situation at hand. Do I know this 15 year old? Do I
feel comfortable with them asking me? Do I feel comfortable with giving
them one? I don't think I would know the answers until it
happened.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess if a 15 year old had the courage to ask me
for one they are pretty decided that they are going to have sex. Condoms
not only prevent pregnancy but disease as well and I'm all for that. I am
astounded at the young age kids these days (wow, I feel very old saying that and
I'm only 28) are having sex but if a 15 year old is at least asking for a condom
then they are at least mature enough to be thinking about some of the
consequences!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just my thoughts!</FONT></DIV>

we can. We are not 'in loco parentis'. Legally, you are within
your rights to provide to a minor anything s/he can purchase in a store for
him/herself. And condoms fit that category. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

know this is setting some teeth on edge, so I'm going to put my Deputy Kingdom
Chirurgeon hat on, snap it down tight and say this: YOU as one
individual human being, do not have to carry condoms. You do not need to
provide them to anyone you feel uncomfortable giving them to. There is
no law that forces a volunteer first-aid provider to open his kit to anyone
who comes by for supplies of any sort. If you make your personal
decision to refuse such things to individuals who do not appear to be of legal
age, I, for one, will NOT take your baldric, call the cops, or hang you from
the petard at high noon (what's a petard?). But do me just one favor, in
the interests of peace in the SCA: don't lecture the kid, and don't run to his
parents and tattle (thus breaking a huge confidence). If you do either
one, you will destroy a fair piece of the trust the Chirurgeonate has worked
for many years to earn for itself among all groups in our Society.
Unless the kid's mother is your sister, of course. . . . there are
limits.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Just curious but since
