| OMG! Is this even legal? Well, I guess Amazon can share their customer list with the FBI. |

I'm disgusted. |

While I don't agree with the subject matter at all...and am disgusted by it...
It would be wrong for Amazon to pull this book and allow books on how to grow marijuana to stay in their store. |
| I'm feeling a little conflicted on this one. We love our freedom of speech, until some fool like this author or Fred Phelps starts offending us all. |

When I read the thread title, I thought the book title was like Dave Eggars A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, which of course was no such thing. But no, it really is a book about making pedophiles lives easier. Huh.

| i am blocking amazon until this is removed |
Just because he is free to write it doesn't meant that a publisher is forced to publish it or a bookseller has to stock it. |
It is self published. And Amazon sells plenty of how to do illegal activities books. This is no different. |
Why? Because both are illegal? Are you seriously comparing growing pot with educating pedophiles? |
|
And so Amazon is making a part of the profit on selling this self-published work, right? Perfectly good reason to boycott Amazon.
They have no first amendment DUTY to sell this book. The man can sell his book through his own website. This is not a first amendment issue. |
They are BOTH illegal activities. |
I completely agree. They're making profits (whatever they may be), and that's what's making Amazon look bad in this situation. |
Yes, they are, and I acknowledge that. But really? Growing pot and molesting a child is the same kind of crime in your eyes? WOW |
