It's a slap in the face to society.<br /><br />And the person seeking to ban a book sets himself on a pedestal proclaiming to all others that somehow he knows better than they do.<br /><br />Believe me, a book banner doesn't know a damned more than any of us do. They merely have the gall, arrogance and immaturity to attempt to impose their will on others.<br /><br />And it's wrong.Whetam Gnauckweirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038247522187261808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000498.post-79485447596635728052011-02-19T07:28:41.577-05:002011-02-19T07:28:41.577-05:00Disclaimer: I haven't read the book in questio...Disclaimer: I haven't read the book in question, and don't know what scenes we are really talking about. I can only comment on the statement below:<br /><br />"I know that it is fundamentally morally wrong to give graphic descriptions of oral sex to fifteen year olds."<br /><br />Why? What makes you think so? How can you be sure?<br /><br />Thinking back of the time I was 15, I remember having my natural impulses - and feeling guilty about them - because of the way I was brought up.<br /><br />No matter how well-intentioned this upbringing was, it kept me lonely and depressed, and miserable - for years.<br /><br />Yes, it took me YEARS to recover from all that unjustified guilt that was inflicted on me.<br /><br />Dear Dennis Taylor, I know that your family did the same to you when you were young. I know how terrible it felt, because I've been through it. It's sad that it had do happen to you. And it's sad that you haven't recovered yet.<br /><br />There's no virtue in doing the same to your son. There's no virtue in traumatizing your son. There's no virtue in passing on the pain to the next generation.<br /><br />Your "moral compass" is broken. Stop perpetuating this madness.

You represent the proto-Taliban contingent of the US population. They couldn't have chosen a better public face of selfishness, short-sightedness, ignorance and arrogance.<br /><br />Please feel free to right-click on the image in the blog piece -- that's your trophy!Whetam Gnauckweirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038247522187261808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000498.post-81393557881336455322011-02-17T20:10:21.694-05:002011-02-17T20:10:21.694-05:00Thank you for your spineless analysis of my fight ...Thank you for your spineless analysis of my fight to prevent my children from reading pornography in Bedford, NH. Not only do I know that such reading is wrong for my son, I know that it is fundamentally morally wrong to give graphic descriptions of oral sex to fifteen year olds. Do you have a moral compass with regards to the age at which your child may read or see pornography? If you do not, you are nearly the equivalent of a child molester--someone who would sex up a child at any age. If you do have such a compass, you and I aare on the same page, but we may disagree as the age. As far as the award, I would like to speak to your group at the award ceremony and am willing to debate any of you at such an event.<br /><br />Dennis Taylor<br />Bedford, NHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
