I'm not missing anything, I was just trying to highlight that if you want this all inclusive event then you need to go to the lowest common denominator and that the G rating is a good place to start.<br>That tied with some direct comments towards things like your muppet plays would be a good place to start.<br>

No bondage, violence or sexual imagery is required to offend people or<br>
make them uncomfortable. If you can only think in terms of film and<br>
literature classification you are missing the point.<br>
<br>
I can do a G rated presentation with cute muppets where the brown<br>
muppets pick cotton, the girl muppets stay in the kitchen and make<br>
sandwiches, any muppet who looks or acts differently is made to sit on a<br>
different bus and the muppets who can't climb stairs are left outside to<br>
play.<br>
<br>
So it isn't about censorship or G ratings. I would be fine with a<br>
presentation on medical use of FOSS including pictures of surgery with a<br>
warning. Same goes for forensics.<br>
<br>
If we make a commitment to uphold certain values so that a broad range<br>
of people feel like they can participate on an equal footing then lets<br>
just get on and try and make it consistent and effective.<br>
