It's infuriating to feel like people are judging you based on your zip code rather than your merits, especially when those people are the ones you view as your cultural allies. That said, this story is a perfect example of why people elsewhere look down on us. Because it's hard to remember the last time a NYC school banned a book because someone complained it taught "principles contrary to the Bible." In Republic, Missouri, the Republic High School board has unanimously voted to ban Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five and Sarah Ockler's Twenty Boy Summer. The books were named in a public complaint filed last year, along with the Laurie Halse Anderson novel Speak, which managed to stay on school shelves." Asshole You're damned right I'm an asshole. So much so that I get people so mad at me that if they even hint at retaliation I **** my pants and call the cops. Anyone stupid enough to threaten physical violence in writing on the internet deserves whatever comes their way. Our boy Snotty Scotty writes checks his "macho man" account can't pay. Most of his accounts are dry. His synapse account is near lifeless and probably no longer accept deposits. Really? How do you know this as fact? I'd like to know, because as you well know, I use personal information to my advantage. |
