These are the books banned in one county. Seems like maybe too much control was given to ban books. https://pen.org/banned-books-florida/

We already have too many old people. Two birds, one stone.

Also people with ADHD take daily stimulants for years. We're getting to the point there'll be people who have been on them virtually their entire lives.

If that's banned, I have no idea why and would oppose it.

No, it shouldn't be included. If you as a parent want to show your kids porn, snuff or religious materials, that's your prerogative. But that's the parent's decision. Get it out.

I guess there's only one way for you to find out. Let us know what you discover.

This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.

Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"

(For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)

Rule-breaking posts may result in bans.

Just read up on it... "Since it was first enacted in August, librarians and other educators have faced misdemeanor charges punishable by up to a year in jail or a $2,000 fine for giving students access to books the state has deemed sexually explicit. The Missouri law defined explicit sexual material as images “showing human masturbation, deviate sexual intercourse,” “sexual intercourse, direct physical stimulation of genitals, sadomasochistic abuse,” or showing human genitals." They aren't following the law, so they're shutting down funding

I mean a banned book nya's long walk is about retrieving water in south Sudan.

I feel that the veil is thin when it comes to this shit.

All of the books? Or just the very few that have offensive materials? What defines offensive? Should a puritan be able to decide for me what my child has access to? What about the Bible? Murder, incest, cannabilasm, child murder. Should that be included? Biology books that explain human reproduction?

Not every screen has a low enough operating temperature to be safely touched by people.

Not allowing children to read sexually explicit Books doesn’t seem like a book ban to me 🤷

I didn't know catholics ate from a bird feeder

Xactly! That shit freaks me out. Even so, I do have cats. But it is never far from my mind that if I die in my sleep they'll be dining on my eyes come breakfast time!

I see.

Yes, cause body is sacred even after death.

Doesn't matter the number. Get them out.

Are they not allowed to donate or receive organs?

Or, you know, reading stacks of books and endless articles and studies, but sure. I watched a documentary.

I'd recommend following up and looking into it yourself. News is more about agenda than news anymore. Both sides.

That is an incredibly shortsighted view. Stimulants are not good for the body, especially daily long term use.

>Honestly. I've had this conversation before and was told I'm being weird for talking to it like it's a person.

Damn I can't tell enough why meeting you guys made me so happy. I have been called why would you do it that way. I feel so much better now.
