What do condoms and plastic bags have in common besides the grocery store?

I'd like to clear up a puzzling question I have. So liberals or leftists have implemented an opinion with authoratative action in some states which is the banning of plastic bags in the supermarket. Their reason: plastic bags are not biodegradable and sit in land fills for thousands of years. But what's puzzling is their overzealous enthusiasm when it comes to passing out an abundance of condoms to the public. Condoms are damaging to the environment also but for some reason the nuisance they cause to the environment doesn't matter to liberals. To me the logic leads to hypocrisy. Can you guys make sense of it?

So you'd rather have a land fill full of aborted snowflakes instead???

well, for starters one can be replaced by earth-friendly canvas and one can't.

it isn't the plastic folks are angry with, it's the unnecessary waste of it and the hazards associated with such.

They're not equivalent. For one, plastic bags serve no essential purpose to society whereas condoms can prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Which would you prefer more?

Unwanted pregnancies or more cases of HIV?

I know it may be difficult to choose, but a non choice may lead to hypocrisy. That's just my logic though, and I'm using your loose definition of logic.

David? Maybe he used it on Bathsheba? Hey, let's run with this. They also used tortoiseshell and leather, favoured by the ancient Japanese, oiled paper, fish bladders and animal gut.

How about Lot, Noah, good ol' Sodom and Gomorrah

the last show i co-wrote was an anti-cabaret act. we made up all these fake musicals for our star to have been a D-list broadway star in, and wrote fake songs for her to sing from the fake shows. one of them was "Old Testaament: The Musical" and we wrote here a monologue about playing lot's wife, and then she sings the number from the show which is called "i can taste the salt in my tears" right before she turns to salt.
good times.

on the final note she steps oput of the light and empties a container of morton's on the stage.

we also wrote a number from a "Cathy" musical version of that lame comic strip.

There is no comparison.... plastic bags feel much better than condoms... I like it rough...

There is one orger who is a COMPLETE RACIST who should be banned from this board but will never be.

latex is biodegradable (when not under water, that is). It is an all-natural substance made from the sap of rubber trees. Latex condoms are not composed of 100 percent latex, though. Another material used to make condoms, lambskin, is also biodegradable.


Many household trash take much longer to biodegrade than you thought. In general, organic waste tend to decompose quickly in landfills, but if they are overly compressed, like plastic bottle or bags which seal out oxygen and soil microbes, then they are even tougher than inorganic materials.
How long does it take for trash to biodegrade ?
Plastic soda bottles ..... forever
Glass bottles ..... 1 million years
Batteries ..... 100 years
Aluminum + tin cans ..... 50 to 100 years
Plastic bags ..... 10 to 20 years
Orange peel ..... 6 months
Paper ..... 2 to 5 months
