You hit the nail on the head. These big companies don’t care about anyones values. They would just like to increase the bottom line.

Hi Tony, Glad you liked it, and yeahhhh I almost didn’t approve Tim’s comment because of the link content, but two things: I couldn’t take out the link without losing his very good point, and if I deleted his whole comment we would have all lost out on his very good point: Some things DO have to be censored by Amazon, just not everything…though likely never with a global keyword-based wipe out

Nice post about Amazon, but the link that Tim put up is pretty disgusting.
I consider myself pretty open minded, but that game is just sick!

I don’t know if you all have heard about this insane Amazon ban, but maybe some things are worth banning…

I bet they got a few letters from some overly protective parents. People need to open up more and stop crying about content that’s really not offensive at all. Amazon should muster some guts and reverse this policy.

Errrr, where do we stop on this? I totally agree that this has started to become absolute madness! I know you can't please everyone, but to remove books tagged as "gay", well isnt that saying something about Amazon's feelings about the word? Absolutely ludicrous, but like I said where do you stop on this? Political correctness gone mad. Recent blog post from Jeremy McMinn: Your Hove Chiropractor, Dr Helen Martin

it was nice but i think that what kind of a family you are talking about . parent should teach their children and give them more time to take care of them. if you will give time to your children they will learn something good and it will inspire them that somebody is their to take care of them
