not the schools we go to today though... I remember a big article in my newspaper awhile ago, where a reporter went to a school dance i guess disguised as a chaperone. They were appalled that kids were freakin on the dance floor, describing it as "almost having sex."

If your mom's one of those religious fundamentalist nutballs, then she'll probably thing that it's not appropriate (she'll probably be afraid that your looking at it could lead to dancing..)

But it's harmless.

Parents don't realize how bad schools are. If your kid is in public school, by the time he's a sophomore in high school, he's going to have been exposed to every single swear word and every single sex term available to man kind. I hear the F word about 75 times a day just walking down the hallway inbetween classes (granted, 10 of those probably come from my mouth ) and the hallways sometimes sound like a live porno. I live in a wealthy area, with 99% of our school consisting of whites, asians, indians, or europeans, so I'd imagine a so called "ghetto" school would be even worse. Maxim, morally I guess, is wrong, but if you think a chid is going to learn "inappropriate stuff" from Maxim or a magazine like it, then you're just plain ignorant to what our society has already become.

I could make fun of you but I think you did a good job making yourself sound bad.

Did I say Cosmo sent the right messages? um no I didn't think so...

OK, let's do the T/F boolean thing here.

Male | Female reads Maxim | Cosmo respectively.

T | T - Mutual hilarity ensues as both parties attempt the lame pickups & tactics endorsed by their respective sides. Friendship & relationship blossom.
T | F - Girl slaps guy. Guy looks confused, goes to to fwap to pics in Maxim.
F | T - Girl makes move on guy. Guy is clueless. For further clarification, see the average YAGT.
F | F - Complete and total lack of sexual intelligence on either side. See YAGT by "The_good_guy" for example. :D

The best solution is for both parties to read their respective magazines, have a good laugh at how stupid each other sounds IRL, and to live happily ever after. :p

You're fortunate (like most kids). Unfortunately, my mom is "that way." :(

Your parents are morons, and that's that.

I say yes, it's just fine. By the time you're a teen there's nothing in there that you won't have seen IRL anyway, and everything else you'll have seen on the internet.
