I’m against hitting people in the crotch, but there are people on this planet that I would like to see hit in the crotch. It’s not logical but hey, I’m an enigma wrapped in a mystery.

My comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but I agree with you. If I were not being so brief, I would have said that I like that Germany requires all annotations to be included in the version sold there.

Usually I am anti-book banning, but I am good with this.

Who gets paid for this? After a copyright expires, can anyone scoop it up? Can other publishers come out with their own versions, perhaps with delightful illustrations or collectors’ covers?

To the abusing priest— I assume they could excommunicate him, although Catholicism may allow him to confess his sins. They could strip him of his role as a priest.

Because money.

I’ll bite—

I love the politics of CA, but between the cost of living and oh yeah YOU DON’T HAVE WATER I will live elsewhere. And as much as I would love to move to a state where the majority of people vote like I do, I feel like I need to stay put in a swing state — At least until 2020.

Let’s call it an honor code violation then. If a student can be expelled for cheating, they should be expelled for rape as well. You don’t need a legal court to decide if you’re going to kick someone out of a school for committing either act.
