Could this be the downfall of Amazon
They have published this ebook for Kindle
Pedophiles Guide to Love and Pleasure
As a believer in free speech this is difficult to judge - but this could be a very big mistake by Amazon. Already causing big problems in the US.

Bizzare. Daft that all the reviews are from people who obviously haven't read it. Nothing like human nature for a drove of people judging a book by its cover.
You never know, it maybe a total ruse, or even a good read (doubt it), as from looking at the author's other titles, he like to dabble in contentious topics, although this maybe a step too far....

As wrong as it may be, I bet alot of people have ordered it on the sly out of sheer curiosity after the furore it's caused, rather than being a paedo wanting to find love.

Another example of rights over responsibilities. IMHO this can only be considered encouragement of this aberrant behaviour.

Link does not work anyway, but if it is what I imagine it to be, then I can understand the concern and find it hard to understand Amazon's action.
I expect that they will lose by it to an extent.

My observation is that the publication has led to many people to cancelling their Amazon and Kindle accounts - this has got some momentum in the US.
Individuals are finding the material offensive. I am not sure why you are bringing homosexuality to this?!

I wont debate whether being Gay is deviant but generally that is between two consenting adults to decide, that is separate from somebody havign sex with a child who does not understand what is going on or if they think they are, are too young to deal with it mentally, children are too small so can be injured physically. Age of consent is one thing and I suppose beign ready varies between individuals but its there in law to protect children, there is no such law against two people of the same sex having intercourse.
Gay people arent going to stop having sex because it bothers you, personally it bothers me not one iota, not my bag but far be it from me to object to what goes on in somneone else bedroom, paedophiles however, different matter entirely.
