Canada is very far from barbaric I'll have you know. Remember that we are seen by practically everyone as a safe refuge to flee to after they've fucked up their own countries beyond repair.

Ok, I'm going to let you in on a secret. Children don't choose their own reading material. Their parents and teachers choose books for them. Young teenagers might go to Barnes&Noble alone and pick something out for themselves, but when the Harry Potter books first came out in the 1990s they were marketed towards literal children, not "young adults." The parents and teachers ought to have had better taste.

Most children introduced to reading by Harry Potter never moved on to books written for adults, and this is largely the fault of educators. Students in their final years of high school are still being assigned YA novels in so-called "literature" classes. The average secondary school required reading is written at a difficulty level appropriate for ninth graders, and there's something incredibly sad and banal about that.

I guess I shouldn't be so harsh on people who still read harry potter, given that in their formative years they had such incompetent ninnies for teachers.

Won't that just make you shuffle around like a horny sperg? Like being a teenager all over again. I remember when I was 16 I took a girl to the winter formal and she was all over me and I had a huge boner the whole time pressing against her leg. You don't want that to happen now.

Just put $10 in a jar every week that goes by without you getting out there and chasing bitties. When you get laid buy something nice with all the money that you accumulated.

I didn't say anything negative about Christians anon, calm down. I actually said that there were spiritual benefits to religion. Jesus seems like a nice person who had good ideas. I don't like the fundamentalist sects but it's not really fair to tar all Christians with that brush.

Anon that's just your opinion, it's not a fact. It sounds like you're angry enough right now to make a slam poem about this forum discussion. Maybe you should channel your frustration into a creative outlet!

You're wrong in my opinion

Because SJWs use twitter as some kind of marshaling yard. They get results too. And obnoxious celebrities get even more attention for their vapid opinions. It's seems incredibly vain and pompous. And hashtags seem stupid and my fucking university is starting to use them in it's gay newsletters.

I guess it's not pedophilia exactly but people trying to justify porking underage girls with biology are still wrong.

I'm not against people being perverts I just want them to be honest about it. This is 4chan nobody has to lie. For example why does everyone try to justify Christianity as being this necessary social fiber of civilization? Why not just believe in God for its own sake and be happy with that? Why make such a big deal about it? The one place where we should be anonymous and at peace has turned into this boring ideological battleground. Sad tbh.

Well you admitted yourself that it's used as a pejorative - how is that fair? Everyone else's precious skin tone is out of bounds but people can use the word "white" to imply some vague criticism and get away with it on mainstream websites.

The article doesn't even use the word "white" but it's turned up in other book related clickbait garbage. I'm also not a fuckface.
