Now listen. They are not banning books. They are

[leftyladyfrommo]

simply taking them off the shelves where vulnerable children could see them.

That's what I heard on TV. Banning sounds so harsh.

1. So, the violent opponents of a 'nanny state' are superseding the role of the parent?

More right-wing hypocrisy.

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. I guess. But just tell a kid that a book is banned due

To sex and violins and they will search until they find a copy to read.

Banning keeps a lot of older banned books alive. Look at 1984 and Lord of the Flies.

3. Can they do the same with assault style rifles please?

You don’t have to say you banned them, just make sure vulnerable children aren’t hurt by them.

[Aristus]

4. +1!

[LoisB]

5. I wish.

[Initech]

6. What the fuck are they talking about?

This has nothing to do with children. This is about erasing a group of people from existence.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. Several groups of people. Actually, most other

groups of people.

[Meadowoak]

7. How long before they start burning books? Or are they already burning them?

[Tickle]

9. Digital people digital

You can not burn digital. All books are on the internet for all to read. They can burn all they want. Even Dr sues is digital and they stopped printing certain books of his.

10. Let's say a Stephen King book is digital. Could they

Go into the system and edit it?

I'm a techno idiot.

[Tickle]

11. Good question ❓

I don't know. I would think they would set it up so you could not edit it.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

12. ok.
