That is just wrong. Maria Send a noteboard - 04/01/2011 08:00:57 PM
The whole idea of censorship is just... wrong.
Literature is like a work of art, and you shouldn't change it just to ensure political correctness.

Little?
Me?
Far from it.
I am just large enough.
Fill myself completely
lengthwise and across
from top to bottom.
Are you larger than yourself maybe?

That's nothing that new. I read Sawyer and Huck Finn when I was like 10, and it was definitely water beetnemesis - 04/01/2011 07:45:07 PM 925 Views

There's a difference between a kids' version and a normal version with a censored word, though. *NM* Legolas - 04/01/2011 11:19:26 PM 409 Views
Wouldn't the "kids' versions" ALREADY have that word excised? *NM* Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:53:09 PM 421 Views
Presumably, yes. *NM* Legolas - 05/01/2011 06:28:47 PM 421 Views
Exactly. *NM* Avendesora - 05/01/2011 01:04:16 AM 508 Views
Read real books then. What kind of ten year old needs to read dumbed down children's books? Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:21:27 PM 1065 Views
That is just wrong. Maria - 04/01/2011 08:00:57 PM 967 Views

my gut says it wrong but my brain says it is OK random thoughts - 04/01/2011 09:11:00 PM 1119 Views
No, the goal of the book (or one of them) was to illustrate authentic dialogue. Your brain sucks. Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:49:13 PM 933 Views
I hate it when I agree with you Camilla - 05/01/2011 12:09:37 AM 900 Views
yes but you are disagreeing with me so it is a wash *NM* random thoughts - 05/01/2011 04:09:54 PM 402 Views

it still boils down to the fact that most teachers will not use a book with word nigger in it random thoughts - 08/01/2011 02:55:29 AM 829 Views

Just because it's the point doesn't mean I have to like it. *NM* Darth_Katie - 05/01/2011 04:44:10 AM 395 Views
Reacting to "nigger" like that makes the word more hurtful. Tom - 05/01/2011 03:26:35 AM 1004 Views
