In addition, we aren't censoring by including a disclaimer. A vote has already ensued at http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Content_advisory Someone suggested 3 choices, and we voted. That is how this ended up on the main page. Feel free to join the discussion.

I agree with Chris - somewhat. Without going into asserting that 'people who dont like this stuff - might not raise their children right' I think the disclaimer on the front page is silly - perhaps it should be in the bottom with the other disclaimer - etc. or as part of the intro - but generally, it looks like people are making too big a stink over something so... inane. It doesnt no make no sense none. People had the whole blaze attitude over AKFD, and noone here gave a shit - whats the big deal about this? Hypocrisy in policy - or does the assertion "you must not care about children" make people automatically bend over the nearest three-foot fence?
A vote would be in order - wouldnt it? And I agree wiht Koyannis - "They" dont censor the Bible just cause its got some incest in it - (Lots daughters, etc....) - http://www.apologeticspress.org/abdiscr/abdiscr27.html Or the lots of casual sex - (Use of prostitutes, yadda..)... http://www.postfun.com/pfp/fornication.html

Genesis 38:8-10 "And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also."
