Well, under this Obama-Nation, free thought will be outlawed anyway, so this is all a moot issue.
Downvote.


Oh I don't know, you're still allowed to prattle on with your own perculiar brand of idiocy, I think free thought is pretty healthy atm.

I think it should be left to education authority to make the decision whether this book if offencive or not, (but please don't let the lefties or PC brigade)to make the decision. If it were in Muslim country, any thing against Allah, the author and book publisher would have been shot by now. log on www.thereligionofpeace.com www.danielpipes.org www.americancongressfortruth.com wake up people.


"Ahem." 1) Spellcheck. 2) Relevance-Check?
It specifically said that the school board is doing its own investigation. There was no mention of any political organization (outside of a student movement.) If the "self-righteous righties," (you can use that whenever, and you're welcome,) can go 'Durr, this book is anti-Jesus' (RTFB, guys,) then why is it wrong to get an opposing view? Otherwise you've just trampled free speech with free religion (Also only the former is really applicable: RTFConstitution.)

>> ^peggedbea:
its true, i went to high school in an even smaller texas town they forced us to read farenheit 451 and me and my english teacher would have really long public discussions are about william burroughs and charles bukowski and all the sick shit they write about and how much we love it. noone got the media called on them. its all good. every town has one or two of these.... though my debate partners mom threw a cow because we chose homosexuality as a topic.

OMG!!! Thats where I grew up, in fact if I were younger I would have went to that school. It was being built when I was attending Conroe High. I cant believe that this is on here, Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favorite books, these people are crazy. Not everyone in Texas is like that, it just takes a few crazies to make us all look bad.

How is banning a book about book banning ironic? It is the exact opposite of irony. It is an entirely congruent and expected.

Yet another reason to never live in the Deep South.
I hate when people talk about our firemen. it makes me want to...ban something.


There are crazy people everywhere. I live in Georgia and I promise, it's not a bunch of bible thumping maniacs. I school in Atlanta, and the only nuts are the ones preaching my damnation (reminding me of a similar character in NYC). According to Woodruff Park man, the party in hell was canceled.
I does suck that I can't buy beer on Sunday, though.

Reason given for why it should be banned:
"Reason 1, taking God's name in vain. And 2, it shouldn't be read."
Seriously?


Actually, I hate to correct you, but reason 2 is actually "there's no reason for it bein red." He's upset that the book is the same color as hell.

>> ^eatbolt:

More like "There's no reason for it bein' read."

All books like this do, is promote critical thinking and we cannot have that.
