Amazon promoting pedophilia?

I can't believe what I'm seeing. Amazon are promoting a Kindle ebook that describes itself as "my attempt to make pedophile situations safer" and "result in less hatred and perhaps liter [sic] sentences should they ever be caught."

This is wrong in so many ways. :mad:

So Amazon are refusing to pull the book because it would be censorship??? Absolute madness!
Not condoning censorship is one thing but condoning, selling and making a profit from something that is not only disgusting and immoral but illegal is outrageous.Dum Spiro Spero0 -
Thats dreadful. I complained to them once also over an obscene illustration involving bestiality I found as I was trawling on there for - of all things - an apron. I got the same answer, they would not withdraw it as they did not agree with censorship.0

There's not much that still shocks me this world, but... wow...
Protecting "freedom of speech" is very popular in America, whatever the cost. But surely the important part of "freedom of speech" is freedom. Amazon are free to do whatever they like (within reason) - they are not forced to sell this ebook at all.
What they should do, if they have any commercial sense, is not stand by and pretend that the freedom to profiteer is a greater virtue than protecting the vulnerable from exploitation.0 -

While i personally am not into kiddies, and if i controlled the world i would prefer there to be no such thing as !!!!!phillia in the world,
however the reality is that if someone wants to be a !!!!!phile then they will be a !!!!!phile, simple as that!
If you think !!!!!phillia is a very rare 'extreme' occurence then just go on youtube, search for any of the 10s of millions of videos which are off teenage/young girls dancing fully/semi-clothed with their friends, or just doing any kind of everyday activity,
and then read some of the 1,000s of peadophile comments posted on almost every of these millions of videos.
!!!!!phillia is no longer ''the bad creepy looking man kidnapping the child'', its now the ''average seeming man getting off on anonymously watching online videos of kids'' on youtube from the safety of his own home.
So this book is basically totally irrelevant either way in preventing/increasing !!!!!phile activity,
as if someones into that they will be into it regardless of what a some book says about it.
And as at the end of the day it is a sexual fetish, they will be into it in whatever scenarios of it made them attracted to the kids in the 1st place.
So the fact that theres a book which they could buy which explains how to kidnap and abuse kids in a more 'pain free' manner, is just irrelevant,
as the ONLY people who will buy this book will be the outraged/shocked people who want to be outraged some more.
The real !!!!!philes wont ever buy this book as its their own minds and feeling which attract and drive their !!!!!phillia urges, not controlled by what a book says.0 -
!!!!!!ing kids was all the rage in victorian times though in this country..
Whilst im not taking away how bad selling this sort of book is you must realise that there is this sort of literature around whether written or vocal.
Now as none of us have bought it do we know what is contained in it? Is it giving the view from a sick man trying to justify the way he is or is it a book glorifying the act of having sex with children?
do any of you know what it contains?
Or is it a bandwagon to jump on without knowing what it says?one of the famous 50 -
They're going to have to pull it. There will be too much of an outcry for them not to.0

But hey - i wonder how many copies they may have sold before it gets pulled.
Whoever buys it should be investigated. Who would want to buy something like that for a casual read? Oh I know, free country etc etc, but there should be limits.0 -

Where are the limits though and how do you contest them in a court of law. From what i can gather no one yet has listened to it so they dont know the contents only what they perceive them to be.one of the famous 50
