School board meeting in North Carolina about a book

[Estro Felino]

Teens mostly can't drive here.

...but in movies high-schoolers drive cars 24/7

Those are movies. You've already been told those are **** sources about learning about America. Depending on ghe state you can't get a license until your 16 or 18.

Imagine they want to make driving license available to 21 year olds, here.

Do you think it is normal that in some American states 21 is the age where you are allowed to buy alcohol?
Alcohol is nothing. It's just something you drink.

Alcohol is a drug. And it's the law in all states you have to be 21 to drink it. I don't agree with that, but not as much as I agree with your claim that alcohol is nothing and is just something you drink. It's a drug, that means it's not "nothing" and it does require responsible consumption.

Espresso is a drug too...since it's something addictive.
Of course people will use it moderation.,..but refusing to sell a glass of vodka to high-schoolers is irrational.
Just one.

Addiction isn't a defining characgeristic of a drug. Lots of them have that potential, but lots of them don't.
Caffeine is a drug because it alters bodily function.

I am addicted to espresso.

I am addicted to espresso.

Probably not good for your heart.

Whatever...you only live once.

I think that that pastor had a point.
But there was no chance of dialogue. The school board just avoided dialogue.

You missed the point. The book is not pornographic either. In fact it is less pornographic than the Bible. And appears to have better morals too.

Yes, the problem is that his opinion about the content of the book was just his uninformed and therefor biased opinion. Yet because he could not recognize that his opinion was just an opinion about reality, he presumed it to BE reality. And then felt compelled to force it on everyone else. Anatomic illustrations are not "pornography". And sexually titillating young people was NOT the intent of book's creators, nor of the school's use of it. The citizen's opinions were wrong.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I don't know any of those things.

"Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks".

Is it common for Italians to drive while drunk? No surprise if true.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I tend to agree with the man about "if you don't want to hear it".

Watch the 3 1/2 minute video then give your thoughts

Spoiler: Nudity

What's the context? Generally, at meetings like this, delegates have to speak to an item on the agenda... a motion, a report or whatnot. What item was he speaking to?

Do you know the name of the board and the meeting date?

No...it's illegal.
Nobody wants to lose the license, here.

 

[Revoltingest]

"Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks".

And they allow children access to that book!?

Why, though? You said it was just a drink.

I guess there's a huge difference between a spoon of vodka in a cocktail and a 2 litres of vodka, right?

 

[Brian2]

Really? So a similar strategy would work with the Bible. Talking about incestuous rape with what amounted to a drug, and that was a "good" think. Or killing someone for pulling out on a woman and not giving her a "cream pie". And as you know a women fondly remembering men with donkey dicks and horse sized emissions. It sounds as if she was bukake fan. The Bible is far far more graphic in a negative way than that boo was.

Ahhh what?

But if it's "just something you drink" the amount should be irrelevant.

I did drink a bottle of limoncello when I was 13.
But I didn't have to drive.
