Commented on Kid keeping a lending library of banned books in <s>his</s> her locker
I'm not sure it's important whether the kid, or the underground library actually exists. Surely the idea of the underground library is enough to sustain us? For some reason, this thread reminds me of a passage from Don DeLillo's White...

Commented on Broadcom billionaire loses fight to keep e-mail on drug use secret
@#1 Edgore, your wish is granted: "Carney also said Nicholas can not claim privilege, because the e-mail was composed on a Broadcom computer without password protection; that it was circulated among several Broadcom employees and well-known to federal investigators; and...
Commented on How to spend $53,826 a week without really trying
@ #33: It's interesting you didn't specify HOW someone "makes" it. Maybe we could say the "rich" "make" their money and the others "earn" it. Nor did I talk about cost of living. The rabbit hole goes pretty deep. I...
Commented on How to spend $53,826 a week without really trying
@ #19: Freeyourcrt, I think it's more or less orders of magnitude. Anyone who makes a power-of-ten more than [your name here] is rich. So anyone wanting to eat the rich, make sure you're in that lowest order of magnitude,...

What everyone is overlooking here is this simple fact: the rich have *very* bad skin. Very. Bad. Skin....
Commented on TNH FTW! A final post and a question for you.
1) We will discover, to our embarrassment, that the Singularity happened at 3:21 am, April 1st, 2003, and that our strong godlike intellegences have kept the rest of us running in simulation as a sentimental gesture. 2)Nanotechnology (and this is...
Commented on Australia's Great Firewall: just like China, Syria and other "free" countries
I for one would be much relieved. Imagine. The government has vetted the entirety of the internet for me. Now, any link that still works in my browser must therefore be legal. Thank you, all-knowing, beneficent government!...

Hoax. Got to be a hoax. No catholic school would ever ban the Divine Comedy. It's about as Pro-Catholic as you get. After all, some of Dante's conclusions are "It's wrong if the church says its wrong"....

Hitchhiker's Guide is mostly harmless but there is a part where the topic of God not existing is mentioned so the Catholics probably would censor that....

Ah irony. Folks are making assumptions about said stories being banned w/o having a clue about the type of school this enterprising future librarian is at. While folks make an assumption that they could protect their and/or other children from these "dangerous" stories. Good for Javier for practicing social justice, civil service, freedom & the encouragement to read, creativity, organization and using rebellious behavior in a positive and educational way. At least Javier isn't sleeping around, doing drugs, playing Grand Theft Auto, skipping school, getting in fights, vandalizing public/private property,running around with a gang shooting people. This young person is...

As much as love bitching about my 13 years of Catholic schooling, and as much as it made me a confirmed agnostic, most banned books end up being banned by public school boards and city councils. It's not just a Catholic/ Christian school thing. And one of the most banned authors in the US - Judy Blume. Most censorship cases fly under the radar of being not newsworthy, so we don't really know about them, but it happens all the time, everywhere. deletecensorship.org is a great resource to find out where and why books were banned. I think this kid,...
