If we can be honest about ourselves for just a moment.... How many of you NOT seen an image of naked human in pre-puberty years? (and not think much of them until our parents started freaking out?) How many of us NOT actively seek for images of naked human in adolescent years and enjoy them when one was found? OK.... Now, how many of us not remember seeing private parts in about the same time frame? And.... we all grew up as a normal and productive citizen?
Who among us think today's children (if you have a family, your children) have not seen naked bodies already and few dozen times already at least?
So.... who's protecting whom from what? I think we are making way too big deal about something that is so abundant and quite possibly a very normal human behavior and development process.
I'm quite in agreement with Stephanie agreeing with JBRUNNER. Way too much pretending going on, me thinks? Do any of us honestly think any of the images on APUG will actually harm ANYONE?
If you are prepared to give up your freedom for safety you havn't deserved either.
BTW
We have a case of censorship here in DK.
Aple has taken a danish book (in danish) of their Ibook store. It is a book about the Hipies and ofcource there are pics of nude people in it. The book does in no way conflict with the dansh law so.........oliceman:
Best regards

I'm actually putting together a book as a commentary on censorship and such, so perhaps someday I'll be able to share it.
Also I believe the actual quote is "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Though personally I prefer the misquote "Any society who would give up liberties to gain added security will deserve neither and lose both."
