Agree with Salman. I hope he's adjusting to live without the use of one hand and one eye.

This book banning trend in the hyper religious states reflects badly on those states.

/u/ActuallyNot is an ardent advocate for teaching pedo filth in elementary school texts.

Because if we don't keep children ignorant of the fact that some people are gay, then that's pedo filth.

Must be some new meaning of "pedo" I guess.

And some new meaning of "filth".

I never mentioned gay.

Why do you conflate gay with pedo?

The book banning trend in the hyper religious sates that reflects badly on those states includes books about homosexuality.

Examples include Flamer, Lawn Boy and This Day in June.

You equated the the books with "teaching pedo filth in elementary school texts". I only pointed it out.

I just ate 20 rolls of Charmin toilet paper

[–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Is it true that people in prison kill themselves by swallowing toilet paper?

I never heard of that I can't imagine somebody jumping off maybe the 4th tier fourth floor or something like that jumping on their head or hanging themselves in their cell but eating toilet paper probably not

Why do you type in such a conversational way? This is a different medium.

Huh?

The toilet paper gave me hiccups, so now I'm eating all of the wallpaper in my kitchen

The glue gives it texture

Wallpaper tastes a lot like macaroni and cheese

... no relevance to Salman Rushdie then.

I thought that there was some reference I was missing ... but no, you're just eating household paper products ...

I might just leave you to it then, mate.

One suggestion though: Maybe eat some prunes as well.

I identify as a paper shredder.

Trump could have used you in the whitehouse.

If he had someone to eat the documents before he flushed them, the photographic evidence would be less damning.

If he wins the next election, you should send him a resume.

If I ate all those documents I would need security clearance to go potty again

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I think your bowel flora would take care of the security risks. The problem is the destruction of documents that belong to NARA, but this will be more difficult to trace that Trump's "just rip it a few times, flush and hope for the best" illegal records destruction method.

It's all fun and games until you get stabbed

Muslims are such literalists. He isn't actually trying to rush to his death.

The Satanic verses are a very interesting history of the Islam.

[–]twolanterns 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Rushdie knows all about islamists 'offended' being a tendency towards murdering
