There are all these books with people dying and having sex and using magic satanic powers to turn people into gophers and stuff like that, so lets ban books.

Let's ban you

Yeah, you know that Bible book? It's got all sorts of violence, and murder, and illicit sex in it as well. It's quite tittillating (hehehe--I said tit) in places. Ban the Bible!!!

Y'know, when I first heard that sime Americans wanted to ban/burn these inoffensive kiddies' books, I thought it was a joke. Seriously.

No offence to Americans, but some of you are totally barmy.

Why not ban the parts of the law that allow for freedom of expression... :rolleyes: [/sarcasm]

STFU!! And while we're at it let's ban the entire TV/Movie industry!






From a veteran poster like you, I would never expect such a n00bish comment

Hahaha. Burn Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings with them. Just for fun. They won't know what to think :D

Seems like some people don't know a joke when they see it. :p

Psssssst. I think this was an example of sarcasm on Chess Squares' part.

Hey! What's wrong with using magic satanic powers to turn people into gophers?
Using some sort of Holy Light nonsense to turn gophers into people- now that would be horrible!

*shoots sleeping darts at Chess Squares*
Besides, I like books.

A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it.

There are all these books with people . . . using magic satanic powers to turn people into gophers
Exactly what kind of books do you read?

You're all retarded! Let's not ban books. Let's not ban the Bible. Let's not ban Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, Shakespeare or any other book. :headbang: Stop being dumb.

I don't know, but I want a copy....

Allow me to point out that some of us have been arguing against the ban, and also that hurling insults is not an effective methof of convincing the targets to agree with you.

If there is an award for "Stupidest Thread", this would take it in a landslide. No offense but you must not watch much tv because you can get sex on tv and sexuality in the movies which is worse than reading about sex in a book, incredibly violent movies and tv shows compared to a book saying a man was shot and blood ran down his side and then we have horror movies and halloween shows that contain all kinds of wild magic and satanic worship. In books, it's just that they cast an evil spell over a person and they went mad. If people honestly take books that seriously to kill people or turn to satanism, then they should be in the nut house and have a straight jacket on. I don't know about you but tv and movies are far worse than books and books actually make you read (unless you go to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or other movies with subtitles) and make you think. Some movies give everything to you on a silver platter and you hardly spend any time actually digest what you are watching. A good book does. If your going to ban anything, ban movies and tv, not books but I say "Keep them all and decide for yourself what you will and will not watch or read".

for the MANY who dont have a clue, this is a parody, PARODY, of the ban video games thread, it is DESIGNED to be ludicrous because banning video games is asinine

I don't know if this book banning stuff goes on in other countries, but here in America there are a certain amount of the religious "elite" who feel that anyone under eighteen is unable to distinguish fact from fantasy. They, for some reason, feel that their children, if allowed to read anything that is not pure fact, might develop an imagination. I have nothing against religious people,(I'm Christian myself) but they should really learn the difference between subversive and entertainment.

Ummmm... Ok, I'm going to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume that they know something I don't, and that Chess Squares is not, in fact, being sarcastic as I'd initially thought... *head explodes*

Read the Song of Solomon, or Song of Songs in the Bible. It's in the Old Testament near Psalms. Some pretty explicit stuff.

Let's ban you

Nice comeback! I like it!

Now as to this banning book thing: Have you ever READ a book?

Wait...THIS IS A JOKE!

Wow...this joke sucks.....

Hell no, cause I need books to spread pro-Ultrafunk propaganda.

A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it.

Yes, Captain Beatty. Let's get the Salamander fired up right away. ;)

So when do you get your special forum title proclaiming your official moddom to the world?
Congrats, by the way.

Thanks, Incertonia, and the answer is....

Real soon.

You mean when they do make you a real mod...

Hm... Now I've got Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade quotes in my head.

"It was in the diary."
"Can't you remember it?"
"I wrote it down in my diary so I wouldn't HAVE to remember it!"
