Can you name one time in History where it was a good thing to ban or burn books?

This is not a case of the government banning books. They had nothing to do with the publisher ending printing them. The Suess people thought the books were sending a bad message and they decided to end them. This is not akin to book burning or banning books. Go to a book store, buy them and hang them on the wall if you wish. They have not gone anywhere.

Give it a try and let the forum know how it goes.

Then why are you whining about it so much? Do you have a solution to offer or do you just like to bitch, whine and moan?

The books are for sale. As collectibles they are now higher priced. God Bless American capitalism!

Sorry, dude, if Trailer Park Nazi's (TPNs) like yourself have to recopy the books in crayon when you want to read and share them to each other. Blank books are still available just like crayons.
 
This reminds me a bit of Disney and the "Song of the South" movie... Does anybody remember that movie? I saw it in the theater and remember singing the one line I remembered over and over and driving my parents insane... "Zippy dee doo da, zippidy ay... my oh my what a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine coming my way! Zippity doo dah, Zippity ay!" and "Mr. Blue bird on my shoulder".... Disney stopped selling the movie and just quietly shut up about it. They didn't make some huge announcement to show how awesomely woke they might be, they just took action. Seems to me like it may have been the right action. Also the right way to take it. Without all the self back slapping and self congratulations.

This is simple fact presented to you by someone who worked with the information. Socrates recently (he and I communicate elsewhere) was talking about that same fact. The reality is handling SCI (Sensitive Compartmentalized Information) is a step above normal classified info. The fact was they found (it was reported in the news as such) SCI info on her server (link to story from NBC about this is here: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...ls-contained-info-above-top-secret-ig-n499886 ). This right here is enough to have put me in Leavenworth. The only thing that kept her out of prison was deliberate action by the politically powerful.

Absolutely. It's not just Killary, remember Sandy Berger? Walked out of a SCIF with documents jammed in his underwear? I would have gotten 10 years, minimum, for that.

When I was at Goodfellow one of the guys in my company was Article 15'd because a Colonel decided to run a security exercise in the SCIF and wore a badge with Mickey Mouse's face instead of his. The guy didn't yell "Wagon Wheel" and got hooked up with an Article 15 for it. I guess security is just for the peons, Hillary belongs in jail for deliberately busting chain of custody for classified material but she'll never pay for it.
 
Its simple; You just look at who is doing the banning and burning. You have to do tit for tat. Thats the problem with the people who support the good - freedom - rights et al. such people do not fight back.
The problem to day is for example, ALL big tech is owned by lefties who all want Biden in office. There is no alternative to Facebook - Twitter - Amazon - google - they are all anti Mr Trump. I cancelled my Twitter - Watsap - Amazon - Paypal accounts on principle. I admit communication processes were easier when I used them but I can't support such evil, controlling anti my rights organisations.
Why would I?

I think that removing certain books is not right. But one of the best things about a country with free media is that we have the right to learn about when certain books are banned from library shelves. Burning books implies total eradication so using that word is inflammatory, so to speak. lol Certain books have been publicized as banned since before I was born. The cool thing about publicizing that is that it makes free and intelligent minds want to read them. It has always been so, throughout human history. I've read dozens of them myself. You?

There's a long history of concern about government censorship. It's a legitimate concern, but that's not what's happening here.

Now, when businesses choose a different strategy, some groups of people take it upon themselves to bitch about it. What concerns me is when these groups start pushing the Federal government "to do something".

You and I both know that underneath this is the "Tech Lord" conspiracy theory and the demand that Trump's free account on Twitter be reinstated.

The bitching about the Dr. Seuss books is just chipping away at "cancel culture", which now means anything the Republicans like.

Conflating facts is a tool in the Republican playbook and has been for decades


The Republican voter is just duped ....waiting for lies to protect their feelings so they dont have to admit they have been wrong all their lives


It’s why the “own the libs” resonates with them


All their lives people on the left that they know in real life have destroyed their debates in person


So they HATE their nephew or niece

They can’t stand aunt Betty

They can’t stand their shift mate at work

Their second cousin can’t be correct


That means they don’t have the FACTS to win that debate in person


So OWNING THAT DEBATE is impossible


So they watch fox spew FAKE takes on what the left believes and the crap fox concocts to “OWN” the libs


So they NEVER have to admit to themselves that they have been wrong all along


Stupid silly childish crap instead of facts

Pathetic thinking


Guess where all that gets them


Bad information in means bad decisions out


They have committed their lives to being failed losers

Comey thought so but was overcome by the pressure from the AG, his boss, and the President. I believe that even you know that her gross negligence would have put me in prison because I would not have an AG and a President on my side. Political power, and IMHO corruption, saved her where nobody would have acted like that in my behalf if I had been even partially as irresponsible with SCI as she was.

Because his #2 changed the terms.

Strzok, who served as the No. 2 official leading the probe into the Clinton email server, has been thrust into the center of controversy after news of his dismissal from Comey's team. In July 2016, Comey said that Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of State was "extremely careless," but he added that "no reasonable prosecutor" would charge her. Strzok changed the language from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless".

Maybe because it didn't meet the legal definition of gross negligence.

gross negligence
n. carelessness which is in reckless disregard for the safety or lives of others, and is so great it appears to be a conscious violation of other people's rights to safety. It is more than simple inadvertence, but it is just shy of being intentionally evil. If one has borrowed or contracted to take care of another's property, then gross negligence is the failure to actively take the care one would of his/her own property. If gross negligence is found by the trier of fact (judge or jury), it can result in the award of punitive damages on top of general and special damages.

Another stupid righty thread. Can anyone show a book being burned? They are kids books. They are not political books. They were just written at a time that some racist caricatures were common. The people who owned them thought they were doing something wrong and decided to stop publishing them. The left had nothing at all to do with it. It was a Suess family decision. The left did not know it was happening until it did and then we were told it was our fault. Want a hoax, this is a good one.
