This is freedom of speech/expression gone way too far. Im all for freedom of speech, but in this case Amazon should really draw the line.
Quite sickening really considering this author is promoting his ideas and encouraging other paedo's to openly practice paedophilia.

While I completely agree with you, in the news articles you posted it it has nothing to do with promoting paedophilia.
 
Likewise, can't see anything about promoting paedophilia or legally getting away with it. The only mention is the author saying the book "offer advice to help them abide by the law" - which presumably means not abusing children. Lack of information makes a poor starting point for any discussion.
 
Since being a paedophile is not a crime (e.g. having such thoughts is not in itself illegal) but to act on those thoughts/impulses is then without knowledge of the books contents then it's difficult to say whether it is a "bad thing". Distasteful perhaps, a foolish idea to sell it possibly but for all we know (at present) it could be advising paedophiles on ways to avoid turning thought into action and harming children - if that's the case then is it worse than no such guide being available?
 
To me this seams like a blatantly obvious attempt to find some people that might one day commit crimes. How many people though are going to order something like this, and have it shipped to their home address with their own bank details etc.

Actually it probably is by many.

Most people seem to think it's having sex with people below the legal age restriction.

Whereas that would be illegal, it isn't paedophilia.

And that's just one example. I'm sure there are others.


Not defending it in any way shape or form. Just an example of why the book 'may' be getting unneccesarily demonized.

And you base this opinion on what? One news article?

Should we ban Romeo and Juliet too?

Cause Juliet was only 13 iirc.
 
Surely if its a book that helps people with this disease not inflict it on society by commiting any crimes, then we should be supportive of it? :confused:
