Yes, I am implying that a typical bookstore shouldn't have Mein Kampf for sale. And as a matter of fact, I think a typical bookstore doesn't have it. Are you implying that they should have it?
I am suggesting that Dr. Seuss is comparable to hitler in this context: they shouldn't be in the children's section. Just like I think Marquis de Sade shouldn't be in the children's section.Do you think that bookstores should be forced to sell books that contain racist charicatures?
- DocTomoe 6y agoThere is a difference in a bookstore choosing not to offer select children's books because their content violates the owners sensibilities, and a mall preventing a bookstore to sell a children's book because the mall owner finds the book offensive.
- pineaux 6y agoBoth are quite normal. What if the bookstore owner decided to only sell porn? The mall van decide to force the bookstore to stop that. That's just how it works. The bookstore is a client of the mall. So the mall decides.
- marshmallow_12 6y agonever compare anything ever to Hitler or the Nazis. however bad they may seem.
- marshmallow_12 6y agoi'm getting downvoted for protesting comparisons to Hitler! How can anyone fail to see how offensive this practice is.
- pwinnski 6y agoIt's because you're wrong. Treating Hitler as unique and unrepeatable will inevitably lead to a repeat.

Trying the "check availability" feature on https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/mein-kampf-hitler-adolf/1124209094?ean=9780395925034 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/mein-kampf-hitler-adolf/112..., for example, it looks like most local B&N outlets have it in stock.
