    My writing would melt their tiny frickin’ minds. As would that of most of the commenters here :-)

    This is chilling and reminds me of Ray Bradbury’s sci-fi novel FAHRENHEIT 451, which used to be required high school reading in American Literature back in 1960s.

    The story is concerns a future world where all books are burned by “firemen” – who generally burn the books, occupants and houses where books are discovered, most usually by way of a neighbor snitch who feels “threatened” by people who read instead doing the electronic social media thing.

    So I have to ask when will these “poor, little, threatened by ideas” college students start burning the all the books on campus?

    This is the next logical step after you silence the “big mouths” who still read?

    Then the practice of book burning spreads off campus…

    Then the next thing you know, the firemen start burning people, houses and books.

    This stuff combined with all the worthless indoctrination is only serving to make colleges and universities more irrelevant by the day.The main product they produce are soft headed,semi-retarded indoctrinated pukes,a resource the world has an over supply of already.

    I googled obesity in NZ, bang, first mistake, and ended up spending 15 minutes watching how fat bastards cannot wash their arses. I was OFFENDED! Offended I tell you. How could I possibly have been prevented from watching this offence against fatism? Actually, I fucking give uphttp://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_sad.gif
