i never said you were wrong. it's just that the issue here is far more severe than books, movies ratings, and internet forums. if a child ever got ahold of a copy of Max Visits the Crackhouse 27 or Misogyny To the Max 14, then i would feel very concerned about the well-being of that child's mind from that point forward. Talk about traumatizing a kid..
I never said that all children should be exposed to all forms of literature. I said that the TEENAGERS in the HIGH SCHOOL you work for can probably tell the difference between the Dean Koontz book and reality. It wont scar there minds and many of them would get a hardy belly laugh knowing that there bus driver is trying to replace books which they may or may not read because he feels they are "dirty" I also don't care that you or people like you would like to ban things they see as offensive because they are apparently ultra sensitive people and cant get over seeing a nude female or a nude male. You are delusional and I highly doubt the administration would agree with you, otherwise they wouldn't have put the book there in the first place. You wanted address's so you could I'm guessing send CHILDREN graphic books and magazines to prove some vague point. Maybe YOU are to sensitive to deal with adult subject matter.
You just unmasked me, Fyrenza. I believe all material should be available to everyone, and we should talk about it with our children so they are prepared by the real world, for the real world. With a loving and capable parent, it is possible to raise well adjusted and happy children, even in an imperfect world. It just won't do to have sheltered children starting a downward slide to being unbalanced because they see something on a TV on their way to someone's house. Want to prove my point? What did you think of when I said all material should be available to all children? Did you think of all the wonderful things there are to be discovered, or did you think about children looking at human reproductions and all the fun side dishes that go with it? Maybe if you had had a bit more variety growing up you would be better off right now. I think it's time for your daily Bible passage, folks. Warning though, it's pretty steamy, and some of you may want to keep it away from children:
HOLY SHIT!!! I just figured it out! Max Hardcore reads the bible!! because every description of beauty in that passage is destroyed and defiled to an inverted like degree in the movie, Max Romana Christiana 66. That one was filled with nuns. Seriously though, he's a vile bastard.
hey i was supporting your point. the bible is more or less a load of shit in my opinion. most women aren't that beautiful. I think the bible was pretty much the first issue of vogue. all im saying is the bible is meant to paint a picture of standards for the christian belief and most christian standards are fucked.
So we should ban Max Hardcore, and the Bible. I see. What about anything in between? Will the same arbitrary rules apply?
You know, try as i might, i didn't see one reference to 'fucking,' to a 'cock,' to any sort of rape or abasement of either person in that passage of scripture, nor do i see anything that i would need to explain to a child. Lady, if you're going to try to compare HARDCORE PORNO to the Bible, you are way out in left field...
I'm a dude, by the way. And I'm not surprised you can't understand what Solomon is talking about. That would require a higher level of reading proficiency than you seem to be able to muster. It was for the benefit of the others, who can see from your example what the bottom of the slippery slope looks like. May I suggest a literature appreciation class at your local community college to make up for all the stuff you missed out on as a kid? Believe me, there is way more to books than trashy horror.
And if you're really claiming that hardcore pornography should be available to ANYONE, REGARDLESS OF AGE, well, you might want to sit back and consider your view on all this, because i don't think you're going to find many folks that believe children should have free access to hardcore porn.
Oh, i understand completely what the words are conveying ~ however, not a one of them is indecent, and the concept isn't one that a child would overly concern themselves with ~ most of the kids i know just think Song of Solomon is a bunch of kissy-face, MUSHY stuff! -- Something else i'd like to say, here ~ again ~ you do yourself no favors by being insulting ~ all it does it let everyone know just how vastly superior you feel yourself to be.
How did i KNOW you'd pick that out of your post to attack me with? ... Cripes. Look. i love George Carlin, and i have no problem with curse words. Now, if you can just focus on this for two seconds: I DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD ALLOW OUR CHILDREN TO READ HARDCORE PORNOGRAPHY! I DO BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF SYSTEM TO KEEP IT OUT OF THEIR HANDS. Now, its your turn.
talking to you, yes, i feel superior. With most people on this board, that is not the case. Speaking of superiority, it's interesting to me that you place feel the definition of "indecent" can only include that which YOU find indecent. PLenty of people find those passages "indecent". Especially the part about spending the night out together, and the one about playing with her boobs. When we are careless and arbitrary with the law, we open the door for everyone, not just ourselves.
I never said we should ban the bible, or anything BUT violent porn. This issue concerns me because i have a daughter, and because there is someone very close to me who has been a victim of rape. If i didn't stand up against the people who support Max Hardcore's rights, i wouldn't be doing the right thing, but if you think i am a christian or a conservative who wants to ban and censor the world, your wrong. When you stand up against controversial subjects, you should expect to get feedback from the other side be it hardcore conservatives like the ones who care about censorship, or someone like me who is standing up against this because this particular thing concerns me for a good reason. That's prejudice man. What if i assumed you were jewish? i wouldn't have any reason to think that, so i wouldn't imply that.
And might i suggest another classic for the children you care about? Perhaps some short stories by that literary genius, the Marquis de Sade. So, where are the addresses i should send the books? i'll need your real first name, also, so they (and their parents) will know who to thank.
your changing your stance, admit you were wrong to steal books from the library based on what you thought was offensive.
