**Sorry you're frustrated - you're right about not wanting to be surprised - I myself might have someone short peering over my shoulder and asking "wat's that?" Just checking back in from the weekend. WOW - that quote has been used TWICE and was not only taken out of context, but spun and exploded into a completely diferent topic. Lemur01 and TerraDreams - please reread the ENTIRE post again, but this time with this thought in mind: I was directly responding to a person looking for an intellectual debate that turned juvenile (granted, I thought it was funny, but it was juvenile - and yes, lemur01 I have always thought the little Coppertone girl was a cute illustration). I in NO way support censorship - never claimed I did. I do not, have not, and never will think the human form is something that should be taboo, not discussed, should be hidden, etc. Human form is a beautiful thing and that's what I plan on teaching my kid. Believe it or not, I have no problem with it being taught in schools. No one should be bropught up to feel their body is "shameful". And when he asks "What's that?" you assumed I'm a coward - I plan on answering all his questions honestly as that's what I'll expect of him when I have questions myself (possibly namely, "what's in the little bag you just put behind your back?"). I never claimed RR should be responsible for the raising of my child - I raise my child, not the village, and further I take full respnsibility for his actions as I'M the one supposedly teaching him rules of society. Now, that being said, LadyFrog is exactly right - kids are all over the house - they pop into the room to show you something they just did, etc. There are certain things I'd rather not let him see YET - he'll see them later, he'll even look forward to it, but at 2yrs old, when I turn the filters "on" I shouldn't have to scan the room and hallway, then lock the door to make sure he's not within visual shot of my monitor when I'm reading what I hope to be an intellectual debate (hence my programming suggestion). My apologies Cynlee - I know you said questions asked and questions answered, so move on (keys jangling and all - yeah, that was pretty funny!) - I just felt I should point out it was the wrong question, taken out of context - especially since it was ME being misquoted. -Lew ;-)
