  1. Please, no more…
    Your torturing me.

    It would’ve been nice if our politicians were more into our own history rather than the media’s prevention.

  2. Time to stop giving platforms to hate-filled losers who can’t accept reality.
    Anyone who reads fiction and needs a warning label should be medicated with a series of sissy slaps.

  3. I stumbled onto the Saint George WikiPee page on the weekend while reading up on something else.

    Wow.

    Wikipedia is such a valuable tool in ensuring that accurate opinion free facts can be recorded for the future. Yes. Honest.

    I never knew George was about to cure cancer and spent so much of his spare time throwing down rose petals at the feet of puppies. Thank you WikiPee!

  4. The extension of snowflakes having to be protected by all those nasty scary concepts those evil (and probably White) books hold within those pages is that you should ALWAYS attempt to get hard copies of anything you love and enjoy, or get used to being gaslighted for the rest of your life with digital edits.

    Case point, reading Snow Crash a few week ago. This novel was written in the early 90s which, as they say, was clearly a different time. At one stage of the book you even find a word that starts with N and ends with CANCEL CULTURE IS REAL.
    To be honest wasn’t expecting it, but in context the character who used it was responding to a racist slur directed at him AND the choice of words was the author’s original intent.

    Culture evolves. What we define as socially acceptable changes. To be honest I was a bit ‘Oh…. Oh yeah. That is actually a word still’ when I read it and was briefly thrown, but editing the past helps no one in the long term. You cannot make the past into unicorns and rainbows by removing ideas, words and phrase you now find triggering. If you don’t understand the past EXACTLY how it was how can you ever even begin to change the present for the better.

    And if Snowflakes can’t handle that then they should go back and live with Mum and Dad surrounded by stuffed toys in their old bedroom.

  5. Why bother to teach kids reading and writing ? Ours has become a visual culture with Marvel Comics as the summit of artistic aspiration.

  6. If these children experience distress in the pages of a book, fiction at that, one can only imagine how well they address distress encountered in the real world.

    I thought education was preparation for life in the real world. Scratch that idea.
