Scat is just wrong. I can't even walk the dog because of my aversion of excrement.

But yes, Tags are so necessary when browsing. Except I find myself always previewing content that providers explicitly warn viewers that it may traumatize them forever. Curiosity killed the cat?

And you hit the nail on the head. That problem of porn being available means it will be illegally accessed by minors. The republicans in past three republican presidential campaigns have accused the democrats of being too tolerant on pornography and other illegal activities in the media such as guro, beastiality, and child porn which is essentially true. The democrats left it to the parents to take care of the children, but that didn't seem to be enough, so the conservatives will eventually pass more stringent laws to protect the children from porn that depicts illegal activities such as minors having sex, guro, beastiality, and scat. The first attempts during the part of Bush Jr's first term when the republicans had control of House, Senate, and Presidency let them ram through version after version that was struck down by the Supreme Court until a much watered down version was allowed to become the Protect Act.. That successful version would have been the baseline for more attempts to raise the bar, but the republicans lost control of the house and senate due to the bad economy and various fake shortages during the first term (fake electricity crisis, fake food distribution crisis, fake shortage on cereals, etc). **note: "cereals" refers to the material commodity and not breakfast cereal which is but one of the smaller uses of the cereal commodity.
The republican-created ACTA treaty has been signed by Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and others. More will sign later. That means new laws can be written to better support ACTA's provisions as additional analysis of situations warrant. Also, prior court decisions such as fair use precedents can now be re-tried if they are used by the defense in an ACTA case. ACTA criminalizes copyright infringment on the internet including downloading OR possession of the copy,
That means that that virtually all of the hentai manga and doujin porn sites will disappear as they are reported by anti-porn activists or your ex (friend, spouse, significant other) to law enforcement. Known users might also be investigated. That's because virtually all the scanlations are copyright violations. There is no need to prove it is a violation because ACTA makes it a criminal situation if you do not have express written and signed permission in advance. It's not that big a deal as it's similar to driving a car without proof of insurance or a drivers license. You left your wallet at home and so you dont have the proof on you. The officer cites you for the criminal violations and you pay the fines. It'll be about a year and a half yet because the presidency 2012 has to be settled.

But yeah, don't really pay attention to adult warnings save for when I come across the *ahem* more "exotic" stuff as That2ndGuy mentioned.

A warning is there so you know: "Oh, I'm not supposed to read it. And there's a good reason for it" Sometimes you start reading a mature manga and can't stand it, but then you try it when you are older. And you start loving it. I'm the same.
But haha, I was still below 18 when I picked up my first Adult-Mangas. So who cares, underage kids should try slowly. First read some shounen/shoujo, then some mature, then adult, etc.
So kiddies, check out your genres. You don't want to pick up some yaoi and find out what's in there ^^
[Naruto can be replaced by any shounen manga. One Piece or Bleach, Psyren or something else, I don't care. The same with yaoi.]

18+ is just a guideline for me. Nothing more, nothing less.
Of course that's only for mental matters, not for things concerning your body: You should wait with consuming alcohol and such stuff until your body can withstand it. That's my opinion at least. ^^ Think of it as you like, I freakin' don't care.
