What the I just can't even...
Soooo...what are they thinking!?!?
You don't sell pedophile how-to books and expect good business! Amazon isn't stupid, they know how to make money, so what are they thinking?

Honestly, I support Amazons decision. They're basically saying "We may not agree with the book, but we're also completely against censorship, so we let the buyer make their own decisions."
Yeah. I have to say that I support Amazon's decision as well, as much as the book...puzzles me? Motmaitre in the comments on that link just destroys everyone with logic. It's funny watching all the endless logical fallacies in play in attempt to argue against him.
You have to have pretty big balls to author such a thing, though. You just KNOW he's going to be watched VERY CLOSELY by the FBI now.
EDIT: Rather, I should say, I don't so much support Amazon's decision to SELL it, but their right to CHOOSE to sell it.
you know the police could use this book as a guide to catch pedos, i mean if some one buys it then there is a clue for who to look for.

Haha, yeah. Maybe Amazon is actually working with the FBI to do something like this, hence why they're not taking it down.
I gotta get a hand on one of these books...

Thanks for pointing this out. He has very good arguments! The people arguing against him are just repeating what they're saying. It's hilarious.
This looks like the kind of thing you could read on the pot if your taking a really swell shit.
One, I've never understood the whole shitting + reading. My shits rarely last over a minute. Sit, squeeze, flush.
Second, I want this book. I won't go so far to say I'm a pedophile, but I can have sex with 15 year olds legally, so maybe I should get some pointers.

Get some fiber. Or maybe all your shit is coming out of your mouth instead of your anus ::)
They are putting something in teenage drinks. I saw a teen the other day with the biggest tits I've ever seen. Not all pedophiles are crazy, sometimes kids are just really sexy.
So guys whos up to going to the next NAMBLA meeting with me?<3
We;re having a group discussion about this book.
I'd make jokes about this, but I don't want the FBI knocking on my door.
Not the FBI, but the local police force!! Oh, BTW, Amazon decided to pull it from their inventory in early November, which to be honest, I have nothing against, despite agreeing with Amazon's belief in freedom of speech. It's one of those morale dilemmas where I'm certain everyone at Amazon was thinking "What. The. Shit." and common sense had to take over with where they draw the line. This guy apparently lacked the mental capacity to exercise the same restraint:

Imagine if you will, someone publishing a book detailing personal information about a very specific individual, in an attempt to blatantly encourage threats and/or assassination attempts. Under free speech, such a thing may be possible, despite the clear intent to endanger someone's well-being. Common sense would dictate that if you were one to choose to facilitate sales and success of such a book, you very well could be attributed and accused of enabling ill-harm done to the specific individual, which is a very large burden to sleep with at night, one that I would not want for myself or anyone I manage. For that reason, I applaud Amazon's decision to exercise proper judgement.
