    Which they have, son. Take that out on me if you want to champion book banning. Stop taking my claims out on others.

    I quoted you saying books are banned for porn, and the topic is O'Rielys books being banned. What exactly are you saying?

    Terrible link! it was a slide!

    I did some further research on it and this is what I found:

    "Stevens, a resident of Deerfield Beach, just south of Boca Raton, said he is an archbishop with the First Church of Mars and is ordained in California and Florida. He describes himself as "an atheist activist who likes banana daquiris." He's grabbed headlines in the past in Florida for his Festivus pole display in the Florida Capitol.

    He said he sent 62 superintendents in Florida a request to ban the Bible to protest House Bill 1467, which was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis on March 28.

    "My goal is to use the law as our expert politicians in Tallahassee intended," Stevens said. "There were no carve outs for religious texts, so I would assume they meant for them to be in play.”"


    So that's your book banner; an atheist activist.

    Anyway I didn't find any evidence that they actually banned the Bible.

    So that's your only objection? The Department of Education didn't provide enough guidance for school districts?

    You claimed that I said O'Reilly's books have porn in them.

    Please source that.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    The DoE was never involved. The DoE is a FEDERAL organization. This was a STATE demand. How the **** does an adult not already know this?

    If it were a federal law, then yes, the DoE should provide guidance. This is a state law. So, yes, the state should provide guidance. Right now we are in "Just toss all of the books that you think might make Republicans sad" territory. Why do you support that?

    This may be breaking news but Florida has a Department of Education.

    We are talking about Florida right? Or are you off to Utah again?

    I'm not responsible for your lack of detail, and I even talked about the state responsibilities when it comes to this . . . which you ran away and hid from.

    Until you read what I've actually written? I guess so. You can fix that by reading.

    I asked you to clarify your position, because you suggested the books are being banned for porn, and we are discussing O'Rileys books being banned.

    My comment: "So, there IS porn in O'Reily's book. Are you sure?"

    Make up for mind.

    I asked for you to provide evidence of your accusation. You have declined. Again. I appreciate the collection of white flags you are throwing my way, but that's all I need at this point. I've asked you to provide evidence of your accusation, and you responded with the above -- admitting you have jack **** and were just making all of it up. Thanks. You seem really angry. What is your personal stake in accusing others of promoting pedophilia while being completely incapable of defending your accusations?

    I'm not sure I've ran away from anything, but you've been posting up a storm based on this thread so it's possible I missed something. I'm apparently not as emotionally vested in this as you are.

    And not as factually invested in this as I am. Hence the problem. But, hey, at least we agree I'm willing to actually have this debate and you aren't. Ta ta.

    And I keep asking you for a quote of your claim and you won't provide it. I went back to page one and can't find what you are talking about. Post for me the quote I made that you want me to respond to.

    What is the debate? Are O'Reilly's books pornography?

    I've never read them.
