Okay, I'm going to try one of those multiple-quote-answer things.

And what is the problem with this?

Children are allowed everywhere on the web. Yes, there may be things like "Net Nanny" to try and prevent it, and there may be little agreement things at the beginning of **** sites that make you say "Yes, I'm 18+" before you enter, but do you honestly think that if a determined 15-year-old wants to see ****, any of that is going to stop him/her? You're fooling yourself if you do. The only real way to protect children is to not allow them on the web at all, or watch over their shoulder while they surf it.
And another point... is this really what we want to be protecting children from? Which is worse, having your child see a nude body, or having your child see people killing each-other? If the pictures and patches we were posting here were of two people having sex, I might see where you could have an issue, but all they are is nudity! And honestly, when/if I have children, I'd rather them see two people having sex (which normal adults do all the time) than have them see someone killing someone else (which normal adults never experience, under the best of circumstances).

Too much enjoyment? Is there really such a thing? I'm all for people ************ while playing WoW if that's what does it for them. Not like I have to watch.
The youth thing is still a bit of an issue, but again, if they're out on the internet looking for it, they're going to find it anyway. I see no need to censor this little area of the internet, keeping these patches from the people who are old enough and want them, all for the sake of a few kids who happen to stumble upon it.
