More NAMBLA pubs from your friends at Amazon.com. I wrote them a note a few years back when they started selling this trash and they returned a smarmy note about censorship -- like that was more of an issue than pedophiles.
If you buy stuff from amazon.com, you indirectly support this.
TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS: amazoncom; homosexual; nambla; pedophile
A book being sold on a popular website claims paedophiles are "loving human beings".
Child protection group NSPCC has slammed the publication, for sale on Amazon.com, which also argues that child abusers are not "monsters".
Paedophiles have posted reviews of the book - Understanding Loved Boys and Boylovers - on the website in praise of it.
One man said: "As a boylover, I found this book extremely helpful."
Publishers SafeHaven Foundation Press claim the book, by David L Riegel, is aimed at researchers and educators.
But Liz Atkins, NSPCC head of policy, stormed: "Sexual relationships between an adult and children must never be viewed positively.
"We know that sex offenders often look to justify their behaviour and any book that seeks to minimise the distressing and long term impact on children is unacceptable."
In the 108-page book, which has sold 150,000 copies, Mr Riegel describes paedophiles as "sincere, concerned, loving human beings" who have probably been born with "a sexual orientation neither understood nor accepted by most others".
Amazon said the book was not a child molester's "how-to", adding it had no role in censoring what it sold.

These people are monsters. Buy from Barnes and Noble.com (bn.com)? Hopefully they have enough honor to stay away from this crap.

I've been trying to get onto amazon.com for the past few minutes, but for some reason I can't. I wonder if their website's down?
Anyway, I just wanted to cancel my order and let them know I won't do business with them anymore. It's a shame too because I've always found their prices pretty reasonable. I guess this means I'll actually have to go out and SHOP for my books and CDs. I hate shopping, but I hate pedophiles more.

Why not boycott them for selling The Communist Manifesto or Mein Kampf or Hillary's book? Sophistry at best.
Unlike the books you mention, the ones published by NAMBLA ( North American Man Boy Love Association) do not promote pedoplilia which is illegal.
Whatever you think of Hillary, etc., they're are legal

Agreed. Books encouraging pedophilia are evil. It should become more and more obvious where our recent spate of diversity and tolerance is taking us.

I disagree with you on every point you made.
(1)I have searched Barnes and Noble, and they don't appear to sell this wonderful book full of man-boy love pedophilia. So in this instance, I can shop from Barnes and Noble and feel real good about myself.
(2)Barnes and Noble, amazon.com, and most book/music shops are not extensions of the DNC or RNC. They are enterprises that aim to sell as much merchandise to as many people as possible. Inevitably, some of that merchandise will contain items I disagree with. I happen to think capitalism is grand, so I say, "More power to them." In my opinion, pedophilia crosses the line, and I can't do business with a place that would sell this book.
(3)You are quite right to assume that I consider Hillary's book (and the others you listed) as obscene, worthless trash. However, as far as I know, none of the books you listed advocate sex with children. So in this case, I gotta give it up for Hillary. Her book does not compare to David Riegel's ode to perversion.
(4)Finally, I can boycott anything I want, whenever I want to.

Probably a petty point, but I don't think many of Hitler's solutions published in Mein Kampf would be considered "legal" either. We know that pedophilia is illegal.
I see your point, but I generally give the constitutionality of such publications the benefit of the doubt.
There is no constitutional right to buggering children... possibly with a Democrat appointed Supreme Court, but not for the moment.
There is no excuse for this book or for Amazon selling it. At some point, we all need to exercise a bit of common sense / Judgement.
Anyone who can't agree that sodomizing children is a bad thing is either a pedophile or has spent wayyyyyyy too long in a university setting and should spend a few weeks in a lockup with bubba and no condems in order to "research" the issue.
