CHARLESTON — The West Virginia House of Delegates debated the merits of removing protections for public librarians and school librarians from criminal prosecution in the off chance a minor encounters books and content some consider to be obscene.

Sorry WVirginians, but you’re ass if you like that and you’re ass if you, don’t because you voted them or you did not even vote. If you voted against those morons, then do something, voice your protest, don’t just like some post on the web

Thank you for trying. Seriously. Sometimes trying is all you can do, but at least doing it is better than doing nothing.

The day I stop trying is the day I just give up and move. If I were less stubborn of a person, that would have been years ago; now it’s “why should I leave when they’re the ones who suck?”

Not that we were ever great, but we didn’t used to be this bad. So sick of this goddamned culture war bullshit.

Every librarian in West Virginia needs to resign in protest.

Thats probably what they want. Less education seems to be what they are working towards.

One of the regular reminders that I hate the fact that I love that song. See also: Sweet Home Alabama.

They’re good songs, even if I’m not very keen to their messages.

Fully agree, but too many syllables. Try “idjits” instead

I’ve never quibbled, if it was ribald, I would devour, where others merely nibbled! As the judge remarked the day that he acquitted my Aunt Hortense, “To be smut it must be utterly without redeeming social importance.”

Everything is lewd, when correctly viewed, I could tell you things about Peter Pan, Or the Wizard of Oz, there’s a dirty old man…
