	I have to say sir,  I am very happy to hear that there are people 
in this world that has some common sense.  I personally would be up for a 
balance of both (sex and war).

	Have you ever considered this:

1) By the time I was ten I already knew some things about sex, and I was 
always looking for Penthouse or Playboys, or any other such material? It 
seems some ads in computer magazines are pretty tame compared to that?

2) How about the 1-976 advertisements on the television which go a lot 
further than the ads in one magazine.

3) How about all the News papers in North America advertising 
singles-services, 1-976 #'s, massage parlours, escort services, and 
video's, magazines, AND compu-porn?

4) How about the fact that there was a recent study done (Either in 
Canada or USA (both would be beleivable)) that showed that between 45-50 % 
of kids entering grade 9 have had sex with at least one person? Sounds to 
me like a bunch of ads are nothing compared to this. 

5) How about another study showing that in the US 85% of black babies 
being born, are to single, teen-age mothers?

6) How about the fact in local schools sex-ed is being taught as early as 
Grade 4?

	It sounds to me like people are trying to avoid the central issue 
by attacking the little ones surrounding it. These ads are like the 
symptoms (if you consider the above a disease, I think of it more as 
human nature).  If you want to control the disease, get more control of 
your kids, and teach them, and talk to them and understand them, and 
treat them like human beings.  Not a socially inept, retard bunch of 
midgets. Cause it will surprise you, how smart they are, and how ignorant 
they may be.

	Remember,  ignorance can be fixed, stupidity cant.
