When the farang do gooders take over

Yes, those are books that are not allowed in a school library , a school library didn't allow those books because they were considered to be pornographic .  

Do you have a source for this claim? It is my understanding that the books are either under review or "banned" for what is assumed to be a violation of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law, which is what I assume you mean when you say pornographic. I haven't read the 4 books I listed earlier, though I am curious as to what parts of those books were at least initially interpreted as being gay or pornographic.

Really need to use a full sentence here "Banning books (from a school library) , rather than just say :Banning books"

 

I don't need any such "full sentence" as my reply was not only in response to, but also included, the following quote

 

Quote

what books have they banned, apart from LGBT propaganda in kiddies libraries?

But whose god is the real, one and only god?

 

There are hundreds of gods dating back thousands of years, and many are still worshipped nowadays, so what gives the Christians, (in this case) the right to say that?

That certainly wouldn't work in our village. Every time someone dies a collection is made, small but sufficient to ensure that the deceased receives  their funeral rites. No one misses out on their final journey to the cremation oven. And eventually I expect to be making the same journey.

It is the same in our small village in rural Kamphaeng Phet. Even I as a farang am covered though it costs an extra 100 thb a time for me.

All I asked for was even a single link.

 

Why even bring it up if you're not prepared to back it up? Seems to be a trend in this thread. ????

Somebody else bought it up and I replied to that and then you replied to me and if you read the thread title , banning books in the USA isn't the thread topic .

   There  is a thread about banning school books from USA schools already running, take it there where it will be on topic

The thread quickly turned Political !  Protest pics Trans , alphabet people ,religion ,political parties .

Oh my 

 

The thread is about intolerance in Thailand and apparently Cambodia, by foreigners, of certain groups of locals which the natives appear to be tolerant of. That is the discussion. The fact that many of the intolerant people have shown up in this thread is only fitting. ????

It was Premiumlane who bought the off topic subject up 

How is it off topic? It's the same people who want to ban books for being "gay" or "pornographic" (with racism being the obvious true motive in some cases) who are the very same intolerant people this thread is about.

This thread is about go gooders who come to Thailand and this thread isn't about banning books from USA school libraries 

And as I said, those do gooders are the ones who want books banned. It's completely natural to come up in such a discussion. Do you not think it possible that part of their do-gooding could eventually lead to the threat of banning books here? That's optimistic.

Trolling- makes a claim and when asked to back it up says it would be off topic.  A student of right wing trolling methods can find a fertile playing field (55) in several characters on AN.

The Mayo Clinic.

Yes, of course.

The doctors performing these surgical procedures are making a fortune.

So, it's very gracious of them to write a neat little blog with all the sub-categories neatly defined.

I have asked him to take it to an on topic thread (of which there is a thread running ) , that way it wont be deleted for being off topic .

  Staying on topic really isn't "trolling"

Then you should not have made the claim.  This is also off topic so please don't feel a need to reply.

Yes, multiple pages deep already and posting 1 link would be off topic, but discussing why you won't provide said link ad nauseam is apparently on topic.

 

I hope you do understand that nobody is buying this, though the mental gymnastics you're going through are proving to be quite entertaining.
