LOL I just KNEW I'd find comments here about how awful the USA is just because a few books get banned at some time or another in some place or another at some point in time or another.
For pete's sake. What is so outrageous about wanting to be sure that schoolkids don't have access to just anything at their school libraries? If they really want to read a book that has been banned, they can get it at the local library, or, hey, what a crazy idea, ask their parents to buy it for them. Nothing that gets banned ever goes unread.
In fact, I don't think a few parents wanting to protect their children is such a bad thing. Why not take this as an opportunity to say that American parents look out for their children?
No, of course, commenters here are, for the most part, going to use this type of post to bash America.
Haters gonna hate.
As for linking book-burning to simple book-banning, wow, you are really going a little far. Americans aren't known for burning books much. When was the last time you saw a community burn books? Duh.
There is nothing inherently wrong with Christian parents worrying about their children reading books that bash Xtianity.
Again, just another excuse by commenters here to bash Xtians.
I'm sure atheist parents adore seeing their children read books that are pro-religion.
Is it really worth making a loved one go through an operation so that you can have a child?
I understand the desire for children. But, for pete's sake, the mother/donor... She shouldn't be undergoing operations so that the child she raised can have a child, too.
I understand that some people do not really want to adopt, but is it really the end of the world if you cannot have a child? A disappointment, yes, of course. But even if the mother/donor is willing, it seems to me like such an incredibly selfish thing to ask of her...
I have taught many a year and most students who ask for clemency of some sort are lying.
Those who are not lying offer proof of what they speak and professors would never be unsympathetic to a death in the family, for heaven's sake.
Besides, teachers know which students are honest and which aren't. It's always amazing that students never understand that teachers ''get'' you. They think they are faking us out. We are not stupid.
Dislike stewart. He's a comedian but seems to think he's much more than that and has the biggest head this side of Easter Island. Why people insist he's funny, I'll never know.
Right, like the Left is going to take the blame for anything. Give me a break. They only know how to accuse the Right. The current president even goes so far as to blame former Pres Bush.
No, Clinton can't be given much credit for the boom back then.
He should be getting some of the blame for the mortgage catastrophe, though. Just google ''Bush warned Congress 17 times''...
How hard is that to understand?
Geez.

Yup.
Whatever.
We get it.
Move on.

Those students who were planning on being absent to play a stupid video game have no respect.
It's amazing to see how quickly the ''I hate priests'' contingent shows up after a post having to do with religion here.
The left never admits when they are wrong. never.
