[Az-Geocaching] TC vs GC

I completely disagree with what can be described by me as nothing more than
a porn cache in any aspect of caching.  Despite the fact that a disclaimer
can be provided that identifies it as such, the sheer nature of it should be
left to...a porn site.  Pay the $9.95 or whatever per month to get access to
all the sexual fantasizing one wants, and some dildo stocked caches as well,
but leave adult themed concepts out of the mainstream caching, even if it's
on a site like tc.com.  Without some major time overhead on the part of the
caching site admins, it would be difficult to prevent a tech savvy kid from
getting access to the information anyway.

While I certainly respect the faith of any person, not all people share 
your beliefs.  I am personally agnostic, and hold some very libertarian 
beliefs.  I don't have a problem with adult themed caches, or items, as 
long as a person is given the ability to decide if that is right for them 
or not.  I would never like the idea of someone filling a "regular" cache 
with adult themed material since the next person finding it would not be 
able to make that decision.  However, if the cache description clearly 
states that there could be adult material present, you simply decide to not 
visit that cache.

While it doesn't offend me in any way, I do remember discussion about some 
of the religious based caches that were listed on GC were offensive to 
those who did not share the same beliefs.
