Amazon sells book "How to be a Pedophile"

[Deathshot]

IF that got censored then shouldn't This get censored too?

 

[Sicron]

A book about sexual intimacy is not exactly the same as a book about how to be a pedophile.

 

[Deathshot]

Oh but they both deal with fetishes and sexual tension. Let alone they were both about sex and thats it.

You're a retard.

umad?

In all seriousness, censoring this should lead to the censorship of anything in its distance. There is a Freedom of speech right if I remember correctly and his was taken away the second they took it down. Its not about the fact it deals with something unpleasant, its about the fact that this is a freedom that has yet again been taken down because people don't like what he had to say.

As I see it, I can write a book as long as its not offensive. I believe we should ban Twilight because it offends me and my like for vampire movies. And now lets let the 5+ people roll in and say what I said is wrong.

Yeah, because intimacy and love is completely the same to forcing sex onto a child. Wait...in the eyes of a pedophile, it is.

People considered a 19 year old having sex with a 16 year old a pedophile here in his case. He was sent to jail for a year and then released.

 

[Prozac]

I am not. I am just calling it as it is. The definition of retard fits you exactly, It fits you so well, it would make a tailor made suit look messy. Just making sure it was known to you. There is a big difference between being mad and informative, also I doubt that with your reasoning skills you'd ever be able to accurately point out any emotion I, or anyone else might experience.

Technically to the law, he is. She was under age, and he should know that.

However, that still does not change the fact that a book about intimacy is completely different than a book about pedophilia.

 

[Deathshot]

I think you are just missing the point of the fact that censoring this is taking away the right of freedom of speech. You can't even give a valid reason as to why this isn't taking away the rights of Freedom of Speech. Let alone all I hear you saying "Aw man he ****s babies, I think thats wrong herp derp.".

Isn't that still a form of intimacy?

I'm done trolling. Thanks for the fun.

 

[Sicron]

Freedom of speech states that we are allowed to talk about pedophilia. However, it does not state that we should teach other people about how to perform it.

OK why dont we have books about how to abuse the legal system so that you wont get caught, tax evasion, murder (yes i am comparing it to murder). You are defending a criminal act. The fact that the book gives tips on how to evade the law while abusing children doesnt make it a freedom of speech, but rather makes it a guide to crime case.

 

[Prozac]

Freedom of speech is awesome, but like every other freedom, should be controlled to a certain extend. This is one of those examples. Who draws the line? General acceptance of a democratic population.

 

[Sicron]

If you think pedophilia is a form of intimacy, you have a very twisted sense of what emotions like love are.

Here you go.


The only thing I am saying is that if this isn't allowed then why are things on Bestiality allowed on Amazon?

 

[Prozac]

Yes, soft drugs are condoned, why not condone hard drugs too.

I have recently been made aware of several websites that focus on The Anarchist Cookbook. As the author of the original publication some 30 plus years ago, it is appropriate for me to comment.

The Anarchist Cookbook was written during 1968 and part of 1969 soon after I graduated from high school. At the time, I was 19 years old and the Vietnam War and the so-called "counter culture movement" were at their height. I was involved in the anti-war movement and attended numerous peace rallies and demonstrations. The book, in many respects, was a misguided product of my adolescent anger at the prospect of being drafted and sent to Vietnam to fight in a war that I did not believe in.

I conducted the research for the manuscript on my own, primarily at the New York City Public Library. Most of the contents were gleaned from Military and Special Forces Manuals. I was not member of any radical group of either a left or right wing persuasion.

I submitted the manuscript directly to a number of publishers without the help or advice of an agent. Ultimately, it was accepted by Lyle Stuart Inc. and was published verbatim - without editing - in early 1970. Contrary to what is the normal custom, the copyright for the book was taken out in the name of the publisher rather than the author. I did not appreciate the significance of this at the time and would only come to understand it some years later when I requested that the book be taken out of print.

The central idea to the book was that violence is an acceptable means to bring about political change. I no longer agree with this.

Apparently in recent years, The Anarchist Cookbook has seen a number of 'copy cat' type publications, some with remarkably similar titles (Anarchist Cookbook II, III etc). I am not familiar with these publications and cannot comment upon them. I can say that the original Anarchist Cookbook has not been revised or updated in any way by me since it was first published.

During the years that followed its publication, I went to university, married, became a father and a teacher of adolescents. These developments had a profound moral and spiritual effect on me. I found that I no longer agreed with what I had written earlier and I was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the ideas that I had put my name to. In 1976 I became a confirmed Anglican Christian and shortly thereafter I wrote to Lyle Stuart Inc. explaining that I no longer held the views that were expressed in the book and requested that The Anarchist Cookbook be taken out of print. The response from the publisher was that the copyright was in his name and therefore such a decision was his to make - not the author's. In the early 1980's, the rights for the book were sold to another publisher. I have had no contact with that publisher (other than to request that the book be taken out of print) and I receive no royalties.

Unfortunately, the book continues to be in print and with the advent of the Internet several websites dealing with it have emerged. I want to state categorically that I am not in agreement with the contents of The Anarchist Cookbook and I would be very pleased (and relieved) to see its publication discontinued. I consider it to be a misguided and potentially dangerous publication which should be taken out of print.

William Powell --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Even the Author wants it taken down.

I'm not a fan of censorship (as a matter of fact I very strongly oppose Germany censoring many games), but people on the internets seem to get the whole freedom of speech a little wrong.

The first amendment only prevents the government from doing anything that impedes the rights of individuals. Amazon can decide itself if it wants to sell such a book or not. The state, however could not make a law that prevents amazon from selling it. Big difference.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
