Oh, dearie, dearie, me. You, as per usual, misrepresent what I said, Soren. Why can't you be honest for a change? Tsk, tsk.
No, Bbbwian. You misrepresent/lie about exactly what I said you lied about.

America has a long, long history of removing books from libraries and school shelves because they "offended" people. They have held trials (the infamous "Monkey Trial" of 1925 against the teaching of Evolution) of teachers that defied bans on the teaching of scientific theories.
They are as bad as the Inquisition was in the 16th century. Remember Galileo Galilei? Bobby, you appear to be somewhat behind the times.
Under Reagan and Bush II, many books were "burned" for daring to offend the conservative ideas on thought...
Anyone who equates 16th century inquisition with 20th century American court cases around censorship is an ignorant idiot, ignorant about both the inquisition and modern censorship trials in Anglo jurisdictions.
What happened to Galileo Galilei, Soren? IIRC he was put on trial before the Inquisition because he said that the "planets moved". He was found guilty and his works were burned and he was imprisoned. So, what happened in America in the 20th century? The authors were placed on trial and their works were destroyed. In some cases, they were imprisoned. Much difference between the two? The reasons why they were put on trial might have appeared different but at their hearts, their trials were the same - they challenged the established orthodoxy.
Quote:The unsupported assertion that there were book burning under Reagan and Bush , or even book 'burnings', is so idiotic that only someone like you would make it and only the likes of SadRoo would defended it.
Look at the work,
Book Burnings by Cal Thomas. He has established a long history of booking burning and censorship in the US. I meant it though, as a figurative term, hence the use of double quotes, not a literal one. Cal Thomas was a communications director for Jerry Falwell. Tsk, tsk.
Quote:Every time you are caught out being an idiot/liar/ignorant/all of the above, you yawn or, worse, claim that people 'misunderstand' or 'misrepresent' you. But they get you exactly, Bbwian.
https://emojipedia-us.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/thumbs/120/google/223...Your antipathy towards me clouds your mind, Soren. Seek help, please, before you have an aneurysm.
My antipathy it towards stupidity and you bring stupidity to this forum like no other.
Your book burning posts cover times 'under Obama' but you are a distorting and lying shite because you said in your original post that it it was 'under Reagan and Bush II", as it it was somehow authorised by them.
Were the book burnings you referenced after 2008 authorised, 'under', Barrack Hussein?? Yes. Why didn't you include him in your post?
You are so exasperatingly stupid, Bbbwian, that rubbing your nose into your idiocy is almost cruel. Almost but not quite - you WANT to play the idiot and so you do. I think you actually enjoy being pilloried and ridiculed. You recognised long ago that you would never be praised so being laughed at is your only way to be noticed.
So here you are, making a fool of yourself at every opportunity and getting a rise and a response from a world that would not take any notice of you otherwise.
You are stupid in order to be noticed because there is no other way for you to be noticed. Sad.
