I think this whole discussion (as necessary as it may be to establish ground rules) is just annoying.

We were having a laugh. I doubt there's too much a kid could have gleaned from that (had they patience or inclination to even READ a thread on the war on Iraq) that they didn't already know or immediately dismiss.

Some people here just like to get offended, end of story. The mere mention of alcohol, cigarettes or nudity/sex sends them into an eye-rolling fury. So be it. But they can CHOOSE to stop reading such threads rather than force their tastes onto everyone else. As long as no one is outright swearing and writing about explicit acts, I don't see the problem.

If you can't stand the heat...
