For those with a strong stomach, take a look at accused pedophile, Duke Professor Frank M. Lombard's book wish list for Amazon.com.
His choice in reading material tells it all!
I hope Amazon has checked out these books to make sure the "boys" pictured in them are of legal age.

Thanks...and understood (and agree, too).
I had a brief ‘ACLU moment’ in my opine because I’ve seen what false accusations have done to college fraternity brothers in 1988. There is a key distinction that I missed with this ‘’Professor’’ here, obviously.
Still, more importantly, how is material on that list - as horrible as it’s described by Freepers here - available on Amazon??? WTH??
Let’s see buddy, I didn’t make the list, the accused pedophile did.
Keep defending this type of crap
“2. ‘’How is it that ANYBODY’S book wish list is up for public scrutiny or judgement?’’”
Amazon wish lists are public so your friends can read it and buy you gifts that you “wish” for.
Thanks!
I’ll bet the guy was a Kos poster, that name sounds familiar from my scanning the threads over there, hopefully the evidence will come out as to his web habits.
I think Amazon largely just taps into the “Books In Print” database.
They may not keep every book in stock “but I can order it for you”. Same as Barnes & Noble, Bookstop, Borders, B.Dalton, and your local stores.
But some are pretty small press “niche” publishers and they could screen content.
They have been called to task over some of the field guides they’ve offered homosexuals to pick up on minors. Check the archives/internet for such articles.
I’ve got a bigger problem than “lists being public for scrutiny” (he voluntarily made it public). Same concern that came up when authorities sought records from some bookstore chain over a book that Monica had claimed to have bought (mentioned in one of the phone calls).
IF bookstores didn’t KEEP records for their OWN nosey business about your buying habits, then there would be no database or record of the transaction for government to request.
After the crucifixion of Joe The Plumber by members of the Shadow Government, who abused the powers of their unelected offices to peruse private records to leak “scandalous” details of a citizen’s life, I want to live off the grid.
Amazon not only keeps tabs on what you have bought, they keep a list of what you’ve searched for and what you’ve looked at.
What’s happened with the second child who was in their custody?
Amazon zonked that list.
Not what the press peddles to the mainstream is it?
Pretty bad, huh?
Excellent, EXCELLENT POST! I’m glad YOU are articulate - as I seem to be challenged in that area - and on this thread! :-)
Sorry, Bytani....this is all probably a ‘dead horse’ by now...and many Fr’s have been nice enough to educate me on the background of this creep ‘’Prof’’ and also as to why AMZN lists are public.
My original point STILL STANDS!
In this day and age of ‘’hate crimes’’ and liberalism as per political correctness - everyone is in danger of being a ‘’glass house’’, when in fact, their integrity could be sound.
Your’s was a (gawd, I hate this term) ‘’vanity post’’, correct? Think for a moment about what you wanted to accomplish by posting.
Was it not already accomplished, prior to your post?
uhhh, Idiot Stick, just like YOU, ‘’Trolls’’ don’t post ‘’About You’’ pages, much less VERIFIABLE ones as I HAVE. You don’t post such things - out of FEAR. (Whatever that ‘fear’ is.)
So, UNTIL you want to come out of the SHADOWS - and in to the light as I clearly have - just shuffle away in to your dark, anonymous hole and denydenydeny... it suits you well.
You know, it’s bad enough you have no clue at all about this case, amazon book lists or anything else before you started to spew your crap, defense out of your fingers.
I’m victorian for having exposed that Amazon sells child porn and a man who has ADMITTED to abusing his 5 year old son and offering the same child to be used in sexual manners is a side story for you.
Get over it or go over to NAMBLA where I’m sure your defense of this piece of shit will be accepted.
Yea I said shit, call the mods
Wait ‘til YOU’RE libelled or slandered one day. You will wise up to my original point.
Do you have evidence he was libeled or slandered?
I’ve been here six years longer than you. You continue to embarrass yourself.
No, I do not have evidence he was lib’d or slan’d. He probably isn’t. You need to go to the beginning of this NOW convoluted thread to see my point, tpanther.
