J-> I have been trying to make two points here. You've obviously failed to see
 -> what I mean:

I haven't failed to see anything other than the obvious; that is,
they're silly, sophomoric points based on your immature notions of
censorship and the assumed right to do/say/have anything. Your first
point is, you don't think sex ads are bad for children, for the
astounding reason that "there are more important things to worry about."
This is on the order of saying we ought not to catch our friend before
he falls out the window, because there are a DOZEN people falling out
the window down the street. Such clarity is unlikely to breed such
confidence as it does in you, but -- what the heck. I countered this
"point" effectively, I think.

And I said so, in my last post, which you ignored (wisely, I suppose),
but then asked (unwisely) for more "contra-arguments," which made you
look silly.

Your second point -- namely, you don't want people to pick for you your
reading material -- is so childish as to defy description. Your ultimate
justification for this theory -- from which you admit you will never be
swayed -- is this gem:

        "So, leave the sex ads in the mag, 'cause I might want
         to have a look at them."

Pardon me for =not= falling out of my chair, Jojo. This is the
Beavus & Butthead School of Debating. This is (barely) high school
stuff. You do not consider that there are plenty of places to get these
"sex ads" -- and you do not -- of course -- consider that there are
people who do =not= want the sex ads in a PC gaming magazine. You do not
consider that other people may want to read pc game reviews without sex
ads -- and since you can get sex ads elsewhere, and they can hardly get
(good) pc game reviews elsewhere, it isn't you who's losing.

There's a huge magazine stand around the corner, Jojo, with lots of the
sex ads you might want to have a look at. Go to them.

Your arguments don't stand; they're hardly "arguments." Undoubtedly
you'll ignore this post and renew your request for "contra-arguments"
tomorrow.
