Amazon.com Defends Selling Pedophile’s How-To Handbook
The Blaze ^ | 11-10-2010 | Meredith Jessup

Amazon’s stance against censorship may be getting “5 stars” from a handful of its customers, but the big bookseller is getting single-star ratings and threats from consumers promising to “take their business elsewhere” in protest of a controversial volume on its Kindle sales shelf.

“The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure” is getting overwhelmingly negative reaction from online shoppers who have used comments like “absolutely disgusting” and “Are you insane?” in posts that pan both the book and Amazon for selling it.

More than 1,400 comments had been posted to the Amazon listing early Wednesday evening; about 99 percent were critical of Amazon’s decision to sell the volume and many posters were indicating they would boycott making purchases there if the company continued to offer the “Pedophile’s Guide.”

Among the handful supporting Amazon, comments generally praised Amazon for not exercising censorship but blasted the book.

“This is my attempt to make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them, by establishing certain rules for these adults to follow,” writes book author Phillip R. Greaves. “I hope to achieve this by appealing to the better nature of pedosexuals, with hope that their doing so will result in less hatred and perhaps liter [sic] sentences should they ever be caught.”

Among Greaves’ suggestions are alternatives for children too small to use actual condoms and the use of “pin-up pictures of fully clothed juveniles” for stimulation to avoid arrest.

Well, being that’s it’s sold from an on-line retailer... Amazon now has a list with the names, addresses, and a credit card number of all those that bought it.

That alone would be extremely useful for law enforcement personnel dealing with pedophile cases.

Obama’s safe schools czar has pushed such propaganda with tales of homosexual “awakenings” in man-boy relationships.
