Too bad the politicians are not afraid of the folks here in the US.

I think its more than that, its like walking into a barber shop, telling the barber what you want, falling asleep and waking up with a new hairdo. More folks need to be there watching the President and Congress ready for them to slip up and give them a smack when they start leaving our reality. Our hands will be sore but a lot of the nonsense that we have now would be reduced.

We have info on WMDs in Iraq

Um, lets fix the health care system instead.

Nobody wants to be a moderate (having common sense), everyone wants to be an extreme (Liberal/Conservative). American politicians are not afraid of American voters because they know that american voters have better things to do than monitor them.

Back to the thread.

kudos to LBJ2 for answering my questions.

My use of the term "Tiny Tot" was to cover young children.
Don't know the age range but 18 is probably the upper limit.
There are concerned parents who worry about their kids and what they see on the internet.
Can't fault them for their concerns. I don't like the folks who use these concerns as a springboard to fame.

Not sure that the Prudery will be fixable here in the US, maybe 20 or 10 years ago but not now.
The pendulum is swinging back the other way. In the 50's people were more optimistic about science but now its a different story. Too many busybodies and Folks that want control here.

Why not make a simple system where people click in their profile "I dont want to se ANY nudity at all"?

And when artists upload a picture and a thumbnail, AND tag the upload nudity.
The upload SIMPLY dont show to those who has tagged their profile with the "I dont want to see ANY nudity at all" tag?

Why not make it simple? The excisting low-IQ censorship system makes fools of people.
Especially the thumbnail. They are so small that noone can see any details on them anyway.

Why should people be nude or half nude to sell non sex related items?

That would be good but some folks are going to not follow the rules.
You can bank on it.
