I have a problem with violence and any hint of perversion, but regular bare skin should be accepted as natural. Did the children of barely-clothed peoples of antiquity acquire mental disorders or feel they were "injured"??? Making a fuss about it probably causes far more harm. I’m with Rekrul (I think).

Here in the US, people panic if a bare breast appears on TV for half a second. Over in Europe, families go to nude beaches. In the US, any parent that would dare to take a child to a nude beach would be charged with child abuse and the kid put in therapy to help them deal with the "damage" that had been done to them (this excludes nudist/naturist familes, who I'm sure the conservatives already suspect of child abuse). We've got parents being arrested for taking pictures of their kids playing in the bath (although I'm sure you'll see some sinister purpose to that). Lives can be ruined with just the accusation of child abuse because everyone just assumes that the person is guilty. People have been arrested for ACCIDENTALLY downloading mislabelled child pornography. Here in my own state of Connecticut, a 40 year old female substitute teacher was convicted of four counts of "risk of injury to a minor" because a computer in the classroom she was assigned to teach in started showing explicit images, which she said she could figure out how to stop. The defense had the computer examined and came up with evidence that would have helped her case, but it was excluded. After the trial, the state had the computer examined by its own expert and found that some of the claims by the prosecutor were probably wrong. Upon hearing this, a judge granted her a new trial. Frankly, I'm disgusted by the fact that anyone felt that kids accidentally seeing a few porn images was enough to send a woman to jail over. Only in America can one "injure" a child by showing them an image. Were these child then taken to a hospital to be treated for this injury? My faith in the US legal system has been "injured" by this decision, who do I file charges against? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,278897,00.html In Europe they have nudity on daytime TV.

The USA doesn't have Puritan roots. Puritans were part of the Church of England. Those who came to America LEFT the CofE. As well, the Puritans wanted to PURIFY the Anglican church of Roman Catholic practices, such as bishops and candles and the like. Not just Puritans, but ALL CHRISTIANS were against pornography. Get your terminology right, and stop killing words just to have a pejorative. People can't possibly worry enough about kids and porn when there are unscrupulous, sub-human bastards out there who want to pervert children for their own gain. But hey, you go ahead and side with those guys. Anything's better than being a "puritan," right? Yeah, right. That’s believable.

Maybe if it wasn't such a taboo subject, they wouldn't be so curious about it. I can't site one at the moment, but there have been studies in the past that showed that exposure to sexual material and even sexual activity itself isn't inherently harmful to children. It's only when it's forced upon them, or when it comes with a heavy dose of guilt (courtesy of the USA's puritan roots) that it causes real problems. People worry too much about kids and porn.
