I don't have a Kindle and have never bought anything from Amazon, so I'm just guessing a bit. If I'm correct, you buy a book for your kindle, and then you can download that book to your kindle (or your pc) When they (amazon) suspend/close your account, you can't download that book anymore.
Which should not be a problem, since you've downloaded it already. You can still use the file you've downloaded, can't you? I don't see the big problem here.
so I can't search for 'gay AND sex' because I won't see the results that contain 'normal' sex? kinda defeats the purpose of a search.
The simple fact you're doing is search is to filter out the things you don't want. Ok, the default setting (no search terms) should be 'open' (everything should be listed), but after that: you're filtering
i'd rather see that people stop 'rescuing' other people from 'madmen'. All things considered it causes more trouble that it solves. 'freedom' is not something you can force upon others. Freedom is pillaged, raped, beaten and left for dead. Freedom has been reduced to a name for french fries.
Repeating age-old crap --no matter how 'righteous', 'true' or insightful it was back then-- doesn't help solve the problem and only shows that people will not learn from history, making the entire quote redundant.
you. suck. please post something you thought of yourself, instead of endlessly repeating something that was redundant and stupid before it was written down the first time
yes, and therefore we should all be vigilant if we see stalkers, thieves, child abusers, believers, non-believers, murderers, politicians, foreigners, rednecks, racists, non-white people, white people and perhaps everybody else.
get real.
I wish it were that easy.
For instance, I believe that seeing violence (IRL, TV, movies) is much worse for my kid than seeing nudity. Yet the general consensus seems to be the other way round.
I find it my responsibility to shield my children more from violence than from nudity. Should I have custody over my kid? Who's gonna decide that? What are their criteria?
fuck feelings of closure for relatives.
that's totally not the issue, and has *nothing* to do with the crime committed.
'Closure' is another word for vengeance, and vengeance is a subjective, egoistical reaction of a hurt mind.
you mean it's horrible for you to see how he's doing. He's probably past the stage where he knows that 'there is something wrong'.
That's the stage I had the most problems with when my grandfather had Alzheimers'.
When he got to the stage where he thought he was a little boy again, he was much more cheerful.
Again, for the family it was no pleasure to see that, but he had the time of his life:)

wait, what?
rape, torture and murder is equivalent to sex??
"Because it prematurely introduces children to sex (they are very curious) and that is not good"
Why? You got any (non-biased) sources to back that up?
I've always thought I needed something I didn't know existed.

why shouldn't you be allowed to filter *your own* searches?
just. move.

If someone gets books to work with the reader that weren't purchased through Amazon, then they lose money.
not making money is not the same as losing money
good to know G.W. has been good for something

if your teenage daughter gives in to everything her controlling boyfriend say, you've raised her wrong
what are you trying to say?
I bet you hate those newfangled electricity-driven computers too
