	One is inappropriate; one is not.  One is low-class; one is 
high-class.  Isn't it simple enough?

	Gee, that's an original idea.  How many people have said that in the 
past?  Do you listen to Howard Stern a lot?  Problems don't go away by just 
ignoring them.

	If people feel guilty about sex ads. and that motivates them to get 
rid of them, then I say good for them.  I'd say it's the amoral people like 
you who *might* have the problem.  ;)

	I agree with you that the violence and aggression should be taken out 
of the magazine (along with sex.)  Good idea.

>This world has a BIG attitude problem. War is fun, but sex is filthy.

	Sex IS NOT filthy.  Only satan would have people believe that.  God 
made sex, therefore sex is good.  What's wrong is abusing anything good.  
Since sex is good, you shouldn't abuse it.  It's simple enough.

>Bunch of whiners.

	Whiners' cries are heard by others whiners and eventually some good 
change comes from it.
