Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure

*Taken from TL*



There's a book selling online on Amazon.com that is creating a lot of polemic. "Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure" have already got over 600 one-star reviews. The book does exactly what you think it does. Teaches pedophiles how to love children and avoid getting caught.

Amazon was already noticed and refuses to censor the book, and quotes free speech as it's official statement to defend it:
Quote:
Amazon believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable. Amazon does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts, however, we do support the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions.

While the majority seem to agree the book should be removed. Many have argued that free speech is universal. And that it's no different to censor a book aiding pedophiles than it is to censor Darwin's On The Origin of the Species. Or that a book cannot be attributed human characteristics such as moral or immoral.

Is the author just exercising his free speech and doing nothing negative to our society? Is there a limit for free speech? Are we supposed to pick what should be censor? Or would censorship cause more problem than this book?

**AMAZON HAS NOW REMOVED THIS BOOK**
