Whache, regarding #51:

I meant nudity, not sexually explicit pictures, there is a difference. If you feel that it's your responsibility as a parent to bring up your children in a way that shields them from nudity, then it's your decision. However, since nudity is considered as a natural thing in many parts of the world, you will run into problems with that stance. That problem is your responsibility to handle, not the responsibility of the society and/or people responsible for Internet sites and other media.

If a site condones a nudity tag, it should of course be respected, I have no problem with that. I don't know how well/bad it works here since I don't post nudity and/or sexually explicit pictures here. What I meant with my comments was that I think the whole nudity thing is blown out of proportion in society as a whole. Most problems derive from that lack of proportion, not the fact that kids happen to see nudity from time to time. The guilt people feel from exposing kids to nudity appears to be much worse than the harm they think it does to the same kids and I have a hard time understanding the logic in that. I think there are more important things to work on as a parent
