I am ANGRY

[Nancy1999]

How disgusting, but I'm glad to know that if people stand up to these companies, they will listen. Free speech that’s ridiculous; you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater if there is no fire because too many people can be hurt; a book like this can hurt too many people!

OMG!!! No - I had not seen this. The title of this "book" makes me want to throw up. And as for the publishing company that went ahead and actually had this put out - Unbelievable.

I'm not sure as I read as little about it as I could while still being forced to read it to know what was going on (they even posted book excerpts) and I believe it was self published.

I am thoroughly icked out by amazon and they were my favorite company to shop on the internet. D-I-S-A-P-P-O-I-N-T-E-D!

This book is no longer available for sale.

Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?


Seriously, what did they think? I am still mad they took the stance we aren't taking it down, freedom of speech. I am glad enough people stood up and said not acceptable!

NO. I am still boycoting.

From the link:

"... Amazon issued a statement that will no doubt fuel the outraged comments multiplying on the "Pedophile's Guide" Amazon page. "Amazon believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable," it reads. "Amazon does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts, however, we do support the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions."
As a private company, Amazon has the right to sell whatever it wants as long as it's legal, and as such, offers books that cater to Holocaust deniers and other hate groups, as well as graphic dog fighting and cock fighting videos. Adult (legal) pornography, while available in book and magazine form, is not permitted in the Kindle e-reader store. This is possibly because of its iTunes partnership with the notoriously porn-free Apple which removed both "Ulysses" and the "Kama Sutra" from its own book store..."

How can Amazon say that 'Amazon does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts,...'

Last I heard, sex with children was illegal, as was dog and cock fighting, and hate group activities. They are 'promoting and supporting' by offering this crap for sale.

I, for one, now knowing all of this, cannot shop there, and will not. Do I have a problem? Only in that the literature they offer for sale could very well endanger a child's life and well being, and by making it more readily available increases the odds of more children becoming victims, more dogs becoming victims, and more victims being further abused. So, yes, I do have a problem with that! And if you don't have a problem with that, then I have a problem with you, Amazon!

There is an organization called NAMBLA that puts out literature and things over the internet telling men how to connect with boys for sex and its supported by the ACLU and is protected by free speech. Im glad Amazon took it off but its not the only place sickos can get that literature

I read that yesterday and was very confused. Amazon citing freedom of speech about legal activities when clearly this book promoted illegal activities.
I also prior to reading that had no idea about the dog fighting etc. Why would I, not like I ever did a search on it. Again, ILLEGAL activities! So they are contradicting themselves with that stamement?!

You Go Girl ! You need to send a letter like this to Amazon.

I will not purchase from Amazon.......

[TammyJM]

I feel so sick to my stomach!!! I will NEVER buy from Amazon ever again!!! The fact that they had to basically be made to take the book off their site and that they had it on there to begin with....well, that says a lot to me.

Disgusting!!!!!!!!

I just don't understand that. How in the world can ACLU support such a thing!
It's illegal, how does something that is illegal fall under free speech!
That's just ludicrous!!

[chachi]

It is on Fox news right now about amazon selling this book and pulling it off because of complaints so its getting National attention

Totally agree, and the scumbag who wrote the book should be arrested for promoting criminal activity.

[capt_noonie]

oh man, i just bought something off amazon too. I will not buy from them anymore. Private company or not, it is just in plain bad taste to say the least to have such items available for sale.

btw, the free speech thing, that keeps the government from limiting or censoring what us citizens say. The government is not involved at this point, so it's not really a free speech issue. It's just like when people get canned from their job for saying something stupid and they claim free speech. Free speech does not equal i can say any dumb thing I want. You work for someone and if they don't like what you say they have the right to fire you. Us customers are Amazon's bosses and I think we should all boycott.
