Come On People! What disturbs me more than images of women in bathing suits are the Puritan responses that call for sensorship. Its a woman in a bathing suit for crying out loud.

And concerning the kids: What you expect to happen if a kid sees a nude body? Why should it be interesting? I myself expect the kid will have forgotten it 3 minutes afterwards unless you make a big fuss about it like some of you guys...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people that think anyone that has ever watched a violent movie or played a violent game will grow up to be a killer. But to suggest that images of people in swimsuits are more harmful to children than images of people harming each other just seems very twisted.

Does that mean those of you that have problems with that never take your kids to a beach or a pool? I have yet to see a single image on this service that goes beyond that. You might also want to consider that by restricting your kids' access to innocent images like these, you are simply making the matter more interesting. They WILL become more computer-smart than you. They WILL bypass whatever filter you may have. And they MAY WELL stumble onto sites they definitely shouldn't be looking at. In my experience it is much better to treat children in a way that allows them to become responsible ... rather than trying to keep them innocent.

If you aren't, then you are on drugs, and I don't pity you. I fail to see how using Google Maps to look at Vegas is supposed to give better results than <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=vegas&gbv=2&ndsp=20&svnum=10&hl=en&start=0&sa=N" rel="nofollow">Google Image Search on "vegas" with moderate filtering</a>. Why are children searching for Las Vegas anyway? It isn't exactly top conversation around the swingset.

Really? So if I go outside I have no right to privacy? What about the images where you can see into buildings through the windows? Do I have no right to privacy unless I have my curtains pulled and am hiding under the bed? “You’re in public space, you have no expectation of privacy.”
