That´s why i first thought .303 was German. It´s a big myth here in Germany that "Mein Kampf" is illegal.
Then i found out that he´s form Israel and it didn´t seem unlikely that it was banned in Israel so i looked it up.
Well, it´s not. You can buy it in English and Hebrew.
The only place i know of where it´s illegal to sell it is Holland. In Holland it´s considered "promotion of racial hatred" even though they´re thinking of making it legal to sell a heavily annotated version.
It´s also legal to own and lend it in Holland.

What i'm objecting to is showcasing the book,
i dont want to see it when I go to a bookshop, i dont mind people ordering it but i dont want to see something that has such unpleasant overtones for me 1-2 times a week. (I buy a lot of books)

Christian books have unpleasant overtones for me, but I'm not about to go around bleating about how they should be banned from the bookstores. So far your reasoning against it seems to boil down to: "I find it icky, therefore it should be banned."the .303 bookworm wrote:If it was about how christians are the only "real" humans nd anyone else deservs to be shot then yes, up till that no matter how stupid its fir game.Surlethe wrote:Would you ban all advertizing?the .303 bookworm wrote:Because one is a scientific fact\theory, the other is unproven propaganda.

I don't like it when I see a particularly offensive church marquee message when I drive past. That doesn't mean I want to (or should) seek legislation to have such marquees banned.the .303 bookworm wrote:What i'm objecting to is showcasing the book,

That's my damn point!
I'm not seeking legislation against "Mein kampf", i just dont want to see it unless i want too for academic purposes.

As it is you -aren't- going to see it unless you go looking for it specifically, you dimwit. It's not as though a bookstore is going to carry it around on their new release shelves or their best seller section for all to see. Even if you do see it, whoop-de-fucking shit. It's not as though looking at the title is going to harm you in any way. So effectively all you've been doing so far is whining about how it's such an evil book.the .303 bookworm wrote: Then what are we arguing about?

You´ve backpeddled so far now that you don´t have a point anymore. Besides "I don´t like to see it." of course which nobody gives a fuck about.the .303 bookworm wrote:Then what are we arguing about?Firefox wrote:I don't like it when I see a particularly offensive church marquee message when I drive past.

I suggest you shut up.
In other words, you're backpeddling from banning all "unproven propaganda" (an indefensible point) to banning "propaganda I don't like (an even more indefensible point).the .303 bookworm wrote:If it was about how christians are the only "real" humans nd anyone else deservs to be shot then yes, up till that no matter how stupid its fir game.Surlethe wrote:Would you ban all advertizing?the .303 bookworm wrote:Because one is a scientific fact\theory, the other is unproven propaganda.

Give it up.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
