That seal's hangin' ten, man!!! Just look at that form!!
Momma-cat was like "Excuse me, Hoo-man. You're letting in the cold air."
Definitely NOT for people who are prone to vertigo.
Oliver's like - "You need to be drawing ME, hoo-man."
Hmmm, what's that? Oh, I'm sorry, but I forgot you were there.You may go now.
It's not WHAT they want.It's HOW they want to achieve it. Making the government control and deliver all of it is a recipe for disaster. Anyone who's ever lived in a county that tried to deliver all of that through Central Planning can tell you what an absolute nightmare it becomes.My sisters were born in the Soviet Union. 'Nuff said.
"They are collaborators." Soooooooooo, the message here is "If you're not with us, you're against us."? That attitude doesn't sound very democratic.
Except this isn't at all true.SUVs are NOT trolley cars. Trolley cars are on TRACKS that prevent it from doing anything but going backwards and forwards on a fixed route.SUVs and other vehicles can go in any direction. In this case, the SUVs driver CHOSE to plow through a checkpoint and attempt to strike that ICE agent. A.k.a Attempted Vehicular Homicide.

As for other countries banning them, that is entirely their own prerogative and business. As for my aggressive response, my family isn't all from the United States. In fact, my sisters weren't born here.They were born in Moscow. In the Soviet Union. We KNOW what censorship really looks like, and certain books not being allowed in school libraries is NOT what censorship looks like.
Honestly, I don't know whether they're really appropriate for schools. I've read all three of the titles you mentioned, and did a school book report on Fahrenheit 451 back in 9th grade.I know all three books dealt with some pretty intense subjects, and Maus included some stuff that might give some kids nightmares, so really I don't know.At the very least, I think those titles might be too much for children who are still in elementary school.
And my English class in 9th grade actually read "To Kill a Mockingbird" as part of a project.
As a matter of fact, I have. And many others besides. Then again, I'm over the age of 18, so I can read anything and everything I want. Including the Anarchist's Cookbook, Machiavelli's "The Prince", and a few books YOU'D probably like to see burned.So, realistically and LEGALLY, NOT ONE of those books are actually banned.
Plenty of things are restricted when it comes to Minors and it's 100% legal. Plenty of things are restricted from school property as well, and the school board and PTA have a big say in all of that.
That's nice. You can STILL find them in any public library and most book stores. So they're NOT actually banned.Just deemed inappropriate for children. Which is NOT the same thing as being banned.
China. There are restaurants selling their style of food literally EVERYWHERE.
*impales them on a sharpened stake of Hawthorn wood anyway *
The goodest of Good Bois.
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew~!
And suffers a retractor-unit malfunction live on-air!
And then he'll do an epic stage-dive right into the box.
Remember! All attendees of the Benediction of the Floof have the option to hold and cuddle a baby fox while they're there!
Sprawled out like a cat.
That fox at the shrine was summoning everyone to the Benediction of the Floof.
*looks at who PREVIOUSLY was president.*Uhhhhh-huh.
