    It's a cool story.

    I liked it twice as much as Tom Sawyer.
    To me, Huckleberry Finn is more real.
    Are you aware Nigger Joe is actually a hero in that story?
    Lemme guess, you would bust on his heroness because of his moniker, amirite?
    This is why you're a retard that should have no influence on the future of America.
    There were blacks like that back in them days, you shitty racist motherfucker you!
    Let's see you try to deny that, bitch!

    What are you ranting about? Dr. Seuss is not "banned." The publisher has chosen not to publish six books. The others will still be published, they will be available in libraries that choose to keep them, you can buy them on Ebay (at a premium price). Nobody has the power to ban books and the 1st Amendment prevents the government from banning them.

    I don't know what that other stuff was about. You imply that I favor the bans which is certainly not based on anything I sad.

    You can purchase Dr. Seuss and Huckleberry Finn on Amazon.

    How many of the banned ones can be sold or bought on ebay, you commie faggot rotten fuck?

    The correct answer is zero.

    Do you have any of them? Of course not! I have all of them and cannot sell on ebay and I don't like Amazon.
    I procrastinated, I did. And I lost out on sales.
    This shit is the equivalent of book burning in America, and that hasn't been done before.
    This is srs bidness. Whether I make $1500 or not.
    My $1500 ain't shit compared to how serious this is, fucknugget.
    The only book-burners I've ever heard about were Nazis..in school..and afterwards I heard about the "1st Communists" French revolutionists.
    So I'm saying the book burners are Nazis, k?

    You are a liar or don't know how to do an Ebay search. Ebay has 20+ pages of Huck Finn books for sale. Drama Queen.

    All I know is the book is readily available from many sources. Therefore, it is not "banned" if we can legally buy it.

    Read some 1st amendment free press cases. Government cannot prohibit the publication of any document including classified information unless it will endanger troop movements.

    Yes, they do. Why lie?

    It began rolling off American printing presses in February of 1885. By March, librarians in Concord, Massachusetts deemed it “trash” and “suitable only for the slums.” It was the first time the book was banned in the United States, but it certainly wouldn’t be the last.

    "I think that it’s landed on the list of banned books because it goes where Americans really don’t want to go. I think that Huck Finn will remain on the banned books list because it will remain a burr under the saddle of so many people — because it goes to the heart of what still bothers us to this day."

    So you should have no problem posting 2 instances of 2 of the books for sale, amirite?

    Hop to it, Hopalong, or be exposed for being the POS commie liar I think you are.

    Links to the books or STFU! Bitch.
    Not a hard thing to do..3 days ago.
    You made the claim the 6 banned Dr. Seuss books were still available.
    Now prove it.
    Bitch.

    You may prove me wrong, but I think you're a commie lying piece of shit.
    One that's not smart enough to do what I've challenged.

    Ok. Here is a link to "If I Ran the Zoo."

    https://www.amazon.com/If-Ran-Zoo-Cl...5076261&sr=8-1

    Those six books are not "banned." The publisher has decided not to publish them any longer. I assume they could still be published by another publisher if they have the rights.

    If you lose your patience this much when you are clearly wrong I bet you really go crazy when you actually get something right.

    It is obvious you did not do an Ebay or Amazon search. Try all the bookstores.

    I think your problem is reading those right-wing trash tabloids that use scare tactics to rile up the troops.

    You sniveling, slimy shyster. Amazon is not selling that title - they are (for now) allowing people to sell USED copies for insane prices (which they get a chunk of).




    What a dishonest hack you are.

    You idiot. If they are allowing people to sell it then it cannot be "banned."

    Let's try Barnes and Noble for $17.99

    https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/if-...uss/1103726385

    The point is that this book is available. I'm sure some are thinking it will be in great demand and want to make some money.

    Banned means it is illegal to buy or sell the book. Nothing is prohibited. It is a choice by the publisher.

    Some of you people will believe any wild claim.

    How much is 12, 1950 ?

    I thank you for rising to the challenge!
    I did no searches, I'm cooking.
