I agree with that right. So, buy another mag. There are plenty of them. 
All of them but one have _no_ lewd photos. Why pick on the one that 
has?

I've been *raised* with the bible, smarty-pants. I know what's in it, and 
I know what's not.

Yeah. I would have guessed that it contained editorial stuff about games, 
and ads for the target audience that reads the mag. And I would 
have been exactly right.

I only wished that my opinion about the bible was a public opinion.

He HAS that right. I am not forcing the mag down his throat. He can buy 
another one. It's CGW that deciced they want to have those ads, for a 
very good commercial reason. I just tell people to accept that you 
cannot have it all the way you want. As long as you are free to buy 
another mag, do it!

I never tell people how to behave. I only tell them to treat me the same 
way. But when they want to force their pityful narrow-minded opinions 
down my throat, then I object.

>Oh, you are _so_ right. Those kinds of as are so tasteful and high class!

You wouldn't survive for 3 seconds in alt.flames. Your remarks are 
ludicrous. I never said that the ads are tasteful and high class. I just 
said that adding such a tag to sex ads and games ads is meaningless.

Yeah, Adolf was wrong. Just give everyone a gun, and all problems will be 
over. <sigh>

Jurgen.

p.s. Thank you for complimenting me on defeating John, with my splendid
     retorts. I can do the same to you. :)
