    I am against the burning of books disguised as freedom of speech.

    1. It is bad for the environment. Too much co2 production in the process. If you must destroy books, recycle them!

    2. The Nazis did this very popularly. I always get reminded of that, when people burn books.

    3. I feel it is a very marginal impact into freedom of speech. I can not remember a single occasion where I had to burn a book to be able to articulate my thoughts.

    4. I think most countries ban burning houses, even if it is infringing the freedom of speech. Why should it be different with books?











  • Is it even true? USA has the same concept, and a lot of decisions are on a state level. China also has a lot of different local policies, even though in a totalitarian structure. Some cities have their own government, because they are so big. Germany has 16 states, which also do their own laws.

    I don’t think it would be like France, where everything is mandated from Paris.
