Well if you believe that abortion is killing a child then that is consistent. Would a mother be allowed to go into a library and ask for assistance on how to kill her children?


Absolutely. Education should never be illegal. Asking the question is not committing the crime.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

You having trouble with your reading comprehension again? Where is my post do I say I supported it? I said it was consistent if you believe abortion is murder.

Your own censorship beliefs are well know. You support the censorship that twitter and other social media platforms apply to the right.

There is no such thing as censorship on private property
I support the Wizards right to Nuke or suspend anybody
A public library is not private property
It's public property
I am against censorship on public property.

Really??? So the library should be required to have legal pornography!? If Trump writes a book describing how the election was stolen the library shouldn’t be able to not have it available? Public libraries by definition censor ALL THE TIME by choosing or not choosing a book to carry.

What's pornography???????????????????
Going with the US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewarts definition lol
"I know it when I see it"
You are absolutely and totally wrong on your definition of censorship
Come on Soopoo, really surprised because you are no extremist
What a library chooses and not chooses is not censorship
It's constrained by a budget and their size.
Censorship is not failing to choose. It's outright banning. It's a particular list of books they absolutely will not allow the public to read and budget has nothing to do with the decision.
My library always wants suggestions on what to carry. Don't all libraries operate that way
If the majority wants porn in libraries whatever it is, hey, why not:-)

Do you live in NYC? Just curious. You post about it a lot.

If you do, a move to Florida is calling your name.


We would be bored in Florida.

We live in two homes in NYC. One is a condo on Central Park South, directly across the street from Central Park. Everything we could want in fine restaurants, museums, and entertainemnt, is close by.

Until 2018, NYC was the safest large city in the US. Then that filthy dirt bag Cuomo signed the no jail law and released 16,000 criminals over the next two years. Including sixteen cop killers.

Democrats ruin everything they touch.

If we leave, it would be north or east. The further south you go, the worse it gets.

Wow
Living the good life
Yea if you are in a prime NYC neighborhood, nothing really compares except maybe Tokyo.
The buzz is 24/7
No kidding FL will be boring to you
Been going to NYC since I was a kid listening to my parents and their friends complain about Mayor Lindsey letting crime get really bad.
Hmm
Some things never change
I just happened to be in NYC for a concert at the Beacon theater when George Harrison died
I went over to Strawberry Fields and hundreds of Beatles fans were singing songs. Very moving experience in my life.

I’ve walked across Central Park South hundreds of times. Seeing the horses, the joggers, and just the park…. Very nice! Nothing better than being on 59th and Madison knowing I have that half hour walk to the (no longer…) Carnegie Deli! Where is your other abode?

I was raised outside of NYC and never cared for the big apple.

Too dirty, smelly, noisy for me.

I prefer Portland, which is a large enough city to "do things" set in an area convenient to engage in many fun outdoor activities.

NJ had wall to wall homes and people; I prefer forests.

To each his own, eh?

You would be surprised but NJ has a huge desolate forest. I read a book about it. The Pine Barrens. Some colonial history there also.
