There are many books in the library I do not like, do not agree with, and some I find offensive. I would not ask the libary to remove them. I just exercise my right of choice and do not check them out. I don't hold anything against the library. My choices might not be to another person's liking and I want to know my choices would still have shelf space. Censorship is a funny thing.....be careful for what you wish for. |
IF we censored everything in the world around us, not only would that be a boring life, but we'd loose out on the rights that make us the most happy, freedom of speech. i know not everyone is from the USA with those listed rights, but the internet still runs on those principals as far as i know...we have the choices and freedom to say what we want, and to take it or leave it when we don't' want to read/hear it. besides, not everyone posting on that thread was a rude or hateful person, some of us really wanted to help the OP but she wouldn't take it as help she took it as an attack on her because she didn't agree with what we were trying to tell her...not my fault!!
not only that, but posting another thread about this topic is just "opening a can of worms" and so i think it is completely immature of the OP of this thread to start another one and fan the flame and keep the fires burning on this whole thing to begin with...JMO
had to add for those who know this old joke!!: once again where's my popcorn???
