Actually nudity can cause blindness. Especially if you see something like this.

Re: Violence vs. Sex
Is it more harmful for a developing child to see love based sexual intercourse or to see acts of violence using guns was the question.
I would respond that it is inappropriate for a developing child to see either.
Childhood is the one and only time in our lives where we can live in complete fantasy without the burden of society's rules. As a pre-puberty child it is the one time in our lives when we are free of the physical, mental, and societal burdens of sex and we don't need to know what is happening in the real world. It is a time when our bodies and minds need only positive mental and physical input. Adults need to treat children as children, not dump adulthood stuff on them. Don't try to fast forward them into a lifestyle that is not appropriate for them.
I say shield children from sex and violence as much as possible.
Whoever is raising the child needs to do this.
Governments should not do this, nor should we want, expect, or make governments do this.
Then as a child enters puberty and starts to transition from child to person* teach them not just about the abc's and 123's, but about the bright sides and dark sides of life; slowly at first but don't let them find out about it on their own. Children need, and crave, guidance, direction, and heart felt love.
*Is a child a person? A person knows right from wrong, how to behave properly, what to do and not do. An adult can still be a child. A person can interact in appropriate ways with others.

Re: Violence vs. Sex
It's so removed form reality: Any farm children know all about sex, as the farm animals procreate in the barn yard.
It's not SEX, it's how it's presented!:D
As for Violence, read the original Mother Goose! If you let children watch TV and watch anything they wish now that's a problem.

Re: Violence vs. Sex
...
The notion of childhood, as a time of innocence has been something of a "holy writ" in our society since the 1960's. However, there is a considerable body of research and opinion that the contemporary concept of childhood, as a time of innocence was developed among the upper classes and clergy with the rise of industrialization. Pre-industrial societies viewed childhood as the training period for the responsibilities of adult life which one assumed after a rite of passage, usually at puberty. It is usually argued that treating children as trainee adults stifles creativity and puts too much pressure on young minds, but the case can be made that so few members of society actually use their creative gifts that having an "innocent" childhood, free of responsibility (not just free of the considerations of sex), and shielded from the knowledge of what constitutes a responsible adult in a society, contributes to the apparent increasing lack of responsibility and consideration for the views and rights of others with each succeeding generation.

Actually the pic is from a medical site. The condition is called sebaceous cysts also known as wens.

In this case maybe a smoothie really isn't the best option.http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17921/17 ... fig099.jpg
