The-Soapbox

iammaclovin:

everqueer:

Some jerk sent us two boxes of this awful book (SPOILER ALERT: George Washington - Patriot; George Soros - Pinhead) instead of anything soldiers at a remote outpost in Afghanistan might need, like, say, food or soap. Just burned the whole lot of them on my Commander’s orders. 

They did send them something useful though… toilet paper.

Even in a situation like this, I hate the act of book burning.

I’m too big a supporter of the first amendment, and I suppose burning a book is a way of expressing yourself, too…but I don’t know…no matter how shitty the book is I just can’t make myself be okay with it—even if it were bibles ;)
