Amazon selling "A Pedophile's Guide"

[monkey333]

socialist leaning?


:hmm:

oh, you're a crackpot.

got it.

no point in talking with you, I guess.

Good enough.

Differing opinions and you decide I'm crazy. Hope you get far with that outlook in life.

Bottom line is I am apparently in the minority and nothing anyone says will change my opinion and none of my point is going to change anyone's here.

No point in dragging this out.

you really don't know fuck about socialism. that's all I'm saying here. it isn't a matter of opinion. It's knowledge and experience. independent thought, not simply repeating the mad ravings fed to you through AM radio.

...do you even own a passport?

I guess you didn't really read what I wrote. My reference to socialism was about the governments attempt at health care

Yep, been to el Salvador, the uk twice, France and south Korea.

And how do you presume to know what I do or do not know?

Guess I understand your pov now that I notice where you hail from...

Maaaaybe not, I posted that it's clearly apparent we will just agree to disagree and I'm not going to pursue this anymore.

But some do not have skill required to comprehend this, so they try and keep the pot stirred up, like name calling and insulting my intellect..

Night all...

Amazon will probably remove the product eventually, like they did with RapeLay and other controversial items. Can't blame them for not wanting to touch that with a ten foot pole, that's their choice as a retailer.

 

[bommy261]

whoa.... can't believe someone had the balls to write a book about that topic, wtf is he thinking?

It seems like the ebook has been removed according to the link.

Just saw this on CNN!

"The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure"

Description:

And 1,873 negative reviews and counting...

So, should Amazon ban sales of this?

w/o the subtitle i thought this was going to be a book about a dental visit. :awe:

Kind of ironic that all the outrage and media attention has actually given the book more exposure and the author more money.

This. It will be removed. Shit like this slips through the cracks for those online retailers that carry stupid numbers of different items.

It's important to denote the difference between legal banning/censorship vs "ban" in the sense that Amazon will refuse to carry/distribute it. No, it should not be legally banned, but Amazon will almost certainly want to drop it from their catalog.

Interesting and not too surprising list of books when you search by tag "boycott amazon":

[TheVrolok]

Someone hack Amazon? Or is it a joke?

 

[Zebo]

They should sell "how to torture and kill a pedophile without getting caught"

Person most likely to be involved in deciding whether Amazon protects or removes this book. http://www.linkedin.com/in/zapolsky

Farva-A Liter Sentence...
JUdge looking at Clerk-Do we have Liter Sentence?

I don't want a large, I want a god-damn liter sentence!

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Just curious if the posters who said this should not be banned have kids..

Of course they have kids. Locked up in their cellars most likely.

 

[A Casual Fitz]

You make it sound like pedophiles wouldn't bother without that book.

 

[Kadarin]

The author of that book has every right to publish it. However, Amazon should (and apparently did) do the right thing in choosing not to sell it.

Agreed

 

[bfdd]

lol no fucking way this book got published and put on amazon.com with a picture of pedobear on it with the intents and purposes of establishing pedophile rules of conduct. i applaud the balls of someone willing to pull that off rofl funniest shit i heard all day.

Exactly, people saying "Books should never be banned" aren't getting the point. Amazon is a business and can choose to not sell whatever they want, and people want them to stop selling this item. Ridiculous how socialism gets brought up about people wanting a business to stop selling something.

I agree with this 100%. Banning books and a business refusing to sell questionable books are totally different things. I support Amazon's right to refuse to allow the book on their site. It's their business, it's their choice.

Banning books that we don't like becomes a very slippery slope...as I said earlier, at what point do you stop banning books? Pornography? Who makes the final decision as to what's porn and what's "art?" Political books are yet another area that can be offensive as hell to some people...Do you ban books that support the liberal cause? How about books that attack the cause you support?

Better, IMO, not to ban any book, but rather, to allow retailers to decide for themselves whether they want to sell the book...and, of course, don't buy the books you find offensive.
