The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure @amazon

305 66 November 10, 2010 at 03:12 PM in Chat
Man, I've seen a lot of things on the web and there have been few times that it's so shocking, it haunts me. This is one of those WTF....For some reason, Amazon selling : "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure" just leaves me speechless. I buy everything from Amazon except for food....I don't know if I'll be shopping at Amazon anytime soon...just my opinion.

She has nothing directly to do with the book being there. So I didn't want to cause any trouble for her specifically by posting this. And I did miss one, fixed.
I edited my post. SDRebel might do so also I guess, in his quote of me. Smilie

Still, she is likely somebody from India in a help-center, whose real name is something completely different, and whose pseudonym could be shared among a number of their staff. laugh out loud

IMO I don't think I would like amazon judging what books should and should not be sold.

There are many books out there that are against my personal beliefs, there are also many books out there that promote illegal and down right sick behavior. As a consumer I make the choice to not buy said items. I like that in this country I have the ability to make that choice.

Really? I do not defend the right for people to sell books that directly encourage and teach techniques to pedophiles or sexual abuse...

Where do you draw the line?
How about a book on how to smoke weed?
What about a book on how to hot wire a car?

An illegal act is an illegal act. Making the book does not equal the act..

Either way I am not saying your opinion is incorrect

Those are fine, I could care less. But a book teaching techniques to abuse children is the line. I couldn't even begin to compare smoking weed and hot wiring cars to abusing kids.

There was just a segment on the local news about this guy. He lives in Pueblo, CO. He stated that he wrote it as a way for pedophiles to find a different outlet rather than hurting children. He then went on to say that he didn't think all pedophiles were bad people and didn't like them portrayed as child rapists and murderers.

Suffice it to say that he appeared like someone I wouldn't leave my kids alone with.

For those that want to see the interview, you can look at krdo.com. Koaa.com has the written interview.

You know what? I'm completely ok with people ordering and receiving the book.

The catch is, it is delivered by a plainclothes cop. The officer confirms, for sure, that the person getting the book is the sick fark that ordered it. Then they taze the freak, pound the shit out of him, and give him the treatment I mentioned in the prison thread.

like they were saying on CNN, Amazon doesn't sell porn for a reason, and they should apply the same "rules" to selling books like these

I agree. At first I was upset,but now thinking about people's right of free speech I dont think Amazon will take this book down
