But why is it good to prevent children from seeing? If you hide something from someone, and they discover that there is something there, then it creates a forbidden-fruit type of curiosity to find out.
If they were to see from the beginning, then it would remove that negative stigma from truth.
Nudity? Less associated with sex, and no longer considered improper or embarrassing. There is nothing wrong with nudity (or sex for that matter), yet we are taught from an early age that it is unacceptable. Why? Why is must our body be painted by colors and covers, when our natural color and cover can be more beautiful and better covering than foreign artwork?
'Inappropriate words'? No longer considered to be so, nor as heavily used. There is nothing wrong with saying fuck, shit, crap, or other such words... yet i have been disciplined more than once for using them. They may not be the most colorful words in our language, but they are words like any other, and establishing a taboo upon them i find no less evil than religion. Why? Why have we free speech, yet not the freedom to speak it?
'Information'? No longer covered up by those who do not wish others to know, and information would always available. Where is the fairness in forcing a person to jump through hoops to reach a conclusion, when the information should be immediately available upon inquiry? We censor so much truth, from names, to locations, to scientific facts... but why? Who benefits from this?
'Sex' Although it seems redundant after nudity, it is a valid question in itself. Why do we censor the act we are built to participate in? I see nothing wrong with it, and question why others do. It is as natural a process as eating and drinking, yet we censor sex... and not eating as well. Why? Why should we censor something that the vast majority of us wish to participate in as much as eating, yet we do not censor the food we eat?
'Violence'? Sports are violent... excessively so... yet we censor not them, but violence involving weapons? How is violence with weapons any different than violence with one's fist or foot? Is it death we are censoring, the end of life? Is it pain we are censoring, when life is rife? Why do we censor what has happened? How could that help a bloodthirsty race such as ours?
This is what i ask: why censor anything? How can that help anyone, especially when censorship brews curiosity, and slows learning? Are not moral guides strong enough to guide us, that we do not need to censor the world we live in? Isn't not censoring a moral guide in itself? Would not children be less vulnerable if they had experience of these things?

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
