WTF does this horses*t supposed to mean?
It wasn't girly-men who read Playboy. It were men scarred by battle; the forests of the Ardennes, the beaches of Normandy, the jungles of Guadalcanal, the hills of Korea, who said, "I've seen how quickly this all can end. I'd like to see Marilyn Monroe naked."
And Hef said, "Ok, I'll show you."
And for that, these men thanked him and made him very rich.
You don't have a clue what you are babbling about.
Because seeing Marilyn Monroe naked along with the rest of the country makes for a life well-lived? I think you know the answer... and I think that’s what he’s babbling about.
They ALL did that? Every single GI did that? Or were there there the nerdy guys writing letters back home to their sweethearts?
So basically you are justifying this moral outlook: "life is meaningless and full of suffering, so I'll just gratify my sex drive."
If you don't see how that attitude *directly* contributed to today's girly men, well then you ain't payin attention. You give an inch on lust and it will eat you alive. Christ told us that two thousand years ago, of course, we're too smart to believe such things today.
