Commons is not censored. It's a beautiful scene and it would be expected that the an imaginary tribal member would not have the American sensitivities to toplessness. Some images may offend. Some articles may offend. We're not going to compromise our core values just to try to close a "gap" that some feel is such a big issue, if it even exists.<br>

I mean really? /facepalm<br>

This is the kind of imagery I have no desire to see on the front
page of Commons. I'm a very liberal person, but, this makes me not
want to even allow my MOTHER to use Commons. <br>
