Re: Ban or not to ban lord of the flies?

What about a book that says all niggers should be returned to slavery? What about the Holocaust was fake and even if it was real the Jews deserved it? How about a book of child porn? What about a book talking about the virtue of child rape? How the little kids ask for it and it matures them better?...

Oh well, now when I am an old grumpy man I will have great stories how about in my day we had these things called polaroids... Haha, ...
