Eh, books shouldn't be banned; it's ignorant and it crosses the line and it breaches our freedom of expression. It's actually pretty annoying, and no good comes from it. It's a form of discrimination, really.

Well, i sort of agree. It's moreso a violation of both freedom of speech and of the press.

Eh, USA's freedoms are self-defeating.

Freedom of speech yet you can't say "a**h***" on TV
Freedom of expression yet different people are shunned
Freedom of press yet some magazines get warned of their articles
Freedom of religion yet extremists force their ways upon people


We're in baaaaad shape...

HBO is in a bunch of discount packages w/ comcast, but cinemax is crazy expensive. HBO is the only uncensored channel i know, except AMC when someone hacked into their network and played 9 seconds of porn (yeah, anything's possible i s'pose)

Exactly. You usually have to bribe your way to freedom of speech, or to have the basic rights recognized XD. Have you SEEN the edited version of "The 40 year-old Virgin" on NBC? GAH!


I feel like buying a thousand copies of this book and just putting them on the doorsteps of all the private schools near me.

I find it rather silly to ban books, especially ones that are works of fiction. Not only is it a violation of the First Amendment, it is just silly. If you don't like the book then do not read it, plain and simple.

thats just stupid. its not right that just because one group finds something "offensive".
and mind you i wonder if they actually took a poll of all christians about this, cause im doubting that it would even register as anything to them.

im sure alot of people find the bible offensive, so why not ban that too?
its not a one way street. or at least it shouldnt be.
freedom for all, or freedom for none.

and about this: A nun in the book says, "Christianity was a large mistake."
whats the context? maybe she meant the idea of religion, beleiving as compared to knowing you know?

wow... I really hope you don't post like that in here again.

Oh, and an arab didn't come up with Christianity.... Jesus was Jewish and also most of his earliest followers.


and where have you gotten the idea that 99.9% of "civil war" (whatever that is supposed to mean) are because of Christians against every other religion....

You rant against Christians but end with Religion being the biggest mistake.... try explaining yourself better or stay out. And lose the language... it adds nothing to your post.

If that is all that you have to offer then don't post in here anymore.

If you think about it, banning books has little to no effect. It's not like they stick explosives collars around our neck that go off whenever we dare touch a banned book. If a school system bans a book, I will make it my personal mission to journey to that school, transfer, and make EVERYONE IN THE SCHOOL LOVE THAT BOOK LIKE THEY LOVE... SOMETHING THEY LOVE. That will show the 1 man in power who decided this what 5,000 angry angst-filled teens can do.
Also, banning fiction? Redundancy, thy name is America.
It's FICTION.
Protip: Fiction is NOT REAL.
Why would you ban something on the grounds of say.. religious offense when it's not even bloody real?
It makes no sense.
If it does to someone else, please, explain.

@Neyro: Right, right and more right

ok, so look, that rant was a bunch of crap. nobody is interested in you blasting their religion without any real arguments. maybe if your rant had real evidence we could at least talk about it, but that was just a mindless rant. I'm Jewish, but i find it very offensive that you talk about someone's religion that way. You wanna know what most religions teach and support? TOLERANCE! Sure, a few radicals here and there twist words, but we don't need an atheist who lacks common sense running around and cursing out religion. I know other atheists, but they aren't anything like you. They accept other people's beliefs and are actually rational and nice people.

Please don't post anywhere that involves religion ever again if this is how you talk about it.
