Yeah, I remember when I was a kid I'd sometimes find a copy of "Playboy" stashed in my dad's dresser. I was so outraged that he would squander family resources on trash like that that I would take the magazine to my room. After about 10 minutes, I would find that I had calmed down, and then I'd return the magazine.

I definitely think that anyone who destroys library property should be punished. We cannot destroy every book or magazine that we disagree with. This guy should be made to go into a store and buy them a new copy. [:D]

I saw a book at the library once about "Being Gay and Dating in Today's Society" or some whack shit like that.
They had the book prominately displayed on the new release rack so all the kids could see the cover with these 2 faggots holding hands on the beach. I took the book to the bathroom, ripped the spine in half and threw it in the toilet. I don't give a shit what anyone thinks, you don't show kids 2 men holding hands on the beach, that's bullshit. Flame away. |

Bookburners of the world unite. If I don't like it you can't read it.
I guess it would be ok to rip up the American Riflemans if you were a anti-gunner with that kind of logic. That's not as bad as it can get. Ma Danby is a Childrens Librarian and with budgets being as tight as they are most libraries are a little tight on the new book funds. (right now it's $25 a month.) At her last position they were given a set of Childrens Encyclopedias. Really really nice ones and about 3 weeks later somebody cut them up to use the pictures in a class project. Flushed an amount equal to their annual new book budget. |

I'm sure you don't think that it is ok to display a book at waist level, i.e. kids eye level with two faggots holding hands do you??? I'm sure a picture of a cool gun on the cover of American Rifleman wouldn't be weird for some kid to see would it??? As opposed to faggots frolicking on the beach. |

Seems like it wouldn't have been too much of an undertaking to put vinyl covers over the offending magazines - something that hides any images on the cover while still leaving the magazine's title visible.

[flamesuit] There's a simple fact at work here. heterosexuals are heterosexual; homosexuals are homosexual. Prisons, English public schools, and similar arrangements can strongly encourage a person to temporarily engage in sexual behavior contrary to his nature, but nothing, and certainly not a magazine cover, will turn a gay kid straight or a straight kid gay. Remember, if you think a homosexual can be turned straight by photos, dates, talk, counseling, or any other process, you are [i]necessarily[/i] confessing that, with proper education, you could be the next Richard Simmons.
I have 2 sons, 19 & 15. [b][Edited to add] both so heterosexual I think I may have to neuter them.[/b] Both have been around homosexuals all their lives. When they were about 11 and 7, the little guy cried and complained to me because the other one called him a fag. After telling the little guy not to worry about it, I spoke to the big one, and told him that "fag" is an ugly word for people like Tom and Bob, who fall in love with another man instead of a woman. He was shocked. Tom & Bob are respected and totally respectable taxpaying members of our extended family. They had always treated him and everybody he knew very kindly. He thought "fag" meant "bad person," and was appalled by the thought that he had disrespected two decent, upright people by using the word as he had. I know what the Old Testament says about homosexual behavior (and eating shellfish and wearing clothes made of more than one kind of fabric); I also know what JC said about divorce between heterosexual people. I am well and truly satisfied that homosexuals are defective and redeemed children of God just like the rest of us. [/flamesuit] |

We arent nazis here burning all the books, this is the stuff that freedom is all about. You want to read a magazine about guns they want to read a magazine about fags. Someone could say the same things about a magazine with firearms in it, oh kids shouldent see that blah blah blah.
You and I may not agree with it but thats FREEDOM, so i'll fight and die for their right to read it. If everyone thought that was "doing the right thing" there wouldn't be any books left in that library. |

Some insane anti-gunner could feel JUST AS STRONGLY about their views as you do about yours - and it doesn't give them the right to destroy community property either. Your personal views are not the standard by which public libraries decide on their books. Join their board of governors, file a complaint, stage a protest outside - thats all acceptable. What you did is not. What you did makes you nothing more than a vandal and common criminal. How would you feel if I did the same to Ayn Rand books because I think they're offensive and crap? Is it okay for me to do that? |

Two people showing their loving feelings are far preferable to a magazine glorifying guns. Guns are only good for killing people.
Or would you rather I equate it to some nut case tearing up the Motor Trend because it named a VW as SUV of the Year on the cover. Destroying other people's property in a hissy fit shows a lack of many things. The Nazi's felt it was ok to destroy books and similar things that didn't fit with their view of the world. I didn't use the term first but if you feel the jackboot fits, you are welcome to wear it. |

Gee, let's take christianity for instance, don't even think about saying the word God or praying to Jesus in a public school, the ACLU will smother your ass with a lawsuit. But if a school district wants to teach "tolerance" by making our kids do a course on Islam, the ACLU will be all for it. You see, if they weren't so damn biased against what is right, I would agree with what they do. But when they and you defend the rights of NORTH AMERICAN MAN BOY LOVE ASSOCIATION, the group has ZERO credibility in my book. |

Your actions were wrong and not just a little bit. While I too find the subject matter of the book in question objectionable, and its placement was perhaps inappropriate, what you did was far worse. A proper course of action would be to take the book to the head librarian, calmly voice your concerns and threaten to call the news media if the situation isn't corrected. What you did was destroy public property and piss on the 1st amendment every bit as much as the antis would like to piss on the second. |

What the crap? Again I lurk here and it looks like it's right out of the DU site. Are there DU infiltrators here?
I check this site out for many reasons, but they are primarily FIREARM and 2nd Ammendment related. I don't wanna hear a bunch of crap about burning books. I think that the man's main premise was the fact that THIS GARBAGE SHOULD NOT, and let me repeat, NOT BE ACCESSIBLE TO MINORS. Of what value is it? And don't give me the "to teach tolerance" arguement. Is that the same "tolerance" that the left teaches about the 2nd Ammendment? |

"I mean it, lets hear it, you guys that said I did the wrong thing I want to hear it straight up that our kids are better off looking through dating books designed for faggots than reading kids books or even books about guns." that is not your call to make, unless it involves your child....you can't make that call for every child that goes into that library....and you certainly have no right to destroy that magazine. so I repeat again you're nothing but a nazi wannabe, who thinks he knows what people should be reading or exposed to. |

I honestly don't care if anyone agrees with the subject matter of the book or not. Vandalism and the stifling of free speech and the printed word is wrong. Destroying public property is wrong. The knife cuts both ways. If we want someone not to infringe on beliefs that we hold, then we don't infringe on theirs. I'm sure any objection could have been dealt with without committing a felony, but this person simply chose to become a felon because he did not like the subject matter and presentation. |

Wow, its amazing how irrationally some people on this board think.
[size=6][red]TOPIC: HOMOSEXUALITY IN LIBRARIES[/red][/size=6] [size=6][red]WHO GOES TO LIBRARIES MOST? CHILDREN!!![/red][/size=6] [size=6][red]IS HOMOSEXUALITY AN UNNATURAL ACT? YES[/red][/size=6] [size=6][red]DOES IT HAVE A PLACE AROUND CHILDEN? NOOOOOOO![/red][/size=6] So we're left with the issue of where it does belong. In my opinion, its best left in the closet. I wouldn't want my kids seeing queers kissing in the street or holding hands. Kids should not grow up thinking its alright to kiss other kids of the same sex because that's what is in the books, on tv and in the LIBRARY. You people sound as if we're fascists because we're removing material that contains unnatural acts, which in the eyes of god are evil, that shouldn't be near children and are just plain NOT education worthy. You want that shit? Order it or go to Barnes and Noble. Better yet, keep it in the Village book stores where other sexual miscreants hang out. |

"Do it for the children" really has meaning concerning this. I applaud this old fella, he has the guts to stand up against pervertedness. HOMO's: Wanna get your homo magazine read, put it where people can BUY it, not in a library. |

Porn [soft core] is in the eye of the beholder....Maxim doesn't do anything for me, anyway the point is this, if you pull gay rags from libraries as offensive then you open the door for gun magazines to be pulled by the soccer moms.
and by the way I'd more worried about what my kid see's on MTV,I'd be trickled shitless just to see a kid reading period. |

I am not debating at all the merits of the books or magazines in question. I don't care for this purpose. Destroying public property is wrong, and destroying publicly owned books because you don't like the content is a criminal act. If you don't like the content, or the display of the book, then complain, start petitions, call the news media, sue the library, etc. Censorship is however wrong in the public domain.
It is perfectly legitimate to equate this attitude to the second ammendment argument as the second and first ammendments are equally important. Ripping up that book was no diffent than a soccer mom throwing preban colts into the smelter. Same thing. As I stated, I certianly don't care for the content of the book, nor do I think its appropriate to put it where children will see it. There are other ways to go about it however and you sir have chosen to choose felonious conduct over other probably more productive methods. I hope the potential loss of your right to own guns is worth it. That slope keeps getting more slippery all the time. |
