My boundaries of "violence" and "sex" are pretty wide being a Celtic nutjob ;)

Kid shouldn't be on this bloody site without supervision, anyway. And any parent who does let 'em on the Net unsupervised below oh, age 12 or so?, needs a kick up their stupid backside, not the kid's! :p
So, it shouldn't be an issue to adults. Hell if we had to get in an uproar over every person and culture's mores, we couldn't show ANY image, ever!
That's not being offensive, it's simple plain fact.

I find the increasing purient prudity of a large section of American culture  (and thus Rendo who has to abide by such) a damn sad thing to see, while real horrors increase. 
Hey, can' t show a nipple on TV, but you can have some folk turned into mush by a 30mm cannon!
That kind of attiude is completely barking mad and hypocritically dangerous beyond belief.

I don't object to violence when it HAS to be done, but nude flesh is quite normal, wearing clothes is abnormal, actually.
Only we Humans could be so crazy, hehe

I consider myself a Christian but mostly in the Gnostic tradition and with big dislike of zealotry and ignoring the laws and facts of our reality...but going around with crucifixes...hey, would  folk wear electric chairs, bullets or gas chamber icons if Jesus been murdered today?
It is pretty damn grotesque after all, as it was a method of execution by torture and even in it's day was cosnidered incredibly brutal.
Yet, places display crucifixes and crosses without thinking of it, and how many cultures considered it abhorrant.

I've seen a lot of violence in RL and I don't like it at all. It should be limited to the dojo, or art, or games.
the banner above is macarbe, that is all. That's ok. Kind of reminds me of Stephen King's "IT" a bit, hehe.
Biiiig difference between that and seeing real blood flow and worse.

Oh and the old Scottish tradition of Halloween has died out and I'm annoyed about that :( you'd go around to relatives/friends' houses, and "dunk" for apples (they'd be put in a basin of water and you'd try to catch them with your moth with yoru hands held behind your back) etc etc, which was much more fun than just going around getting sweets, sigh.

Damn, I'm turning into an Old Fart!!! (tm) :P

anyway, I disagree with you ArtPearl, sorry :)
