Don't quite understand that, if you find something objectionable, that you would subject yourself to watching it.. because, and this is my opinion here, if you watch an edited version of a porn that removes all shots of male and female sexual organs, profanity, and graphic sexual scenes and skip over them, you're still watching a porn.. just an edited version.

No your watching nothing at all as there's nothing left to watch after its edited.

I can only imagine some gangster saying "Wassup my slave!"

Sounds much worsh, at least black people could derive some respect and fraternity from nigger, as in suffering together, but slave is just plain 'we got owned by some guys'.

Lame.

It does sound silly.

Well, it's not like nigga is any better. "Gangstas" are still slaves to each other and to their little tribal bullshit.

Indeed, but it's still a porn, just edited down so that some 6 year old can watch it.

This is part of the pussification of America, and indeed, the world. Political correctness will be the death of us all. (Opinion, not fact)

I hate the N word, but I hate censoring a masterpiece of American literature much more!

How come no one on here thinks this is a good Idea? There has got to be some one on here to debate with.

You guys only have three hundred years to work with and your intelligensia is already dismantling it beyond recognition.

Hardcore rule breaking.

We use the original version in my school. I've taught it.

Censoring history ain't cool, man.

We need English teachers to stand up, and stop teaching these crapped-down versions of once-great literary masterpieces in their schools. So, little Timmy read the N-word. So, little Susie read that some man raped a woman. They hear this on the news ALL THE TIME!

Stop protecting children! Pretty soon, Children will begin to die quickly because they'll be immune to nothing!

Natural selection at work. *nods*

I don't think it has been released yet. So we are still safe for now. But who here wants to buy up copies as soon as their out and have a good old fashion book burning?

Should have replaced the N word,with the word Pie..

* Nods to self..*

And censoring literature is even less cool.

Can't wait for the censored edition of Nabokov's Lolita!
It will feature the covers and the editor's foreword!

I know its just that some one has to think this is a good idea, or why would they have done it.

Lets destroy the books message just in case we might offend someone with very weak sensibilities.

Outside of the potential of them to keep printing and printing to replace the previously charred copies of their book, seems like a good idea.

... Why would you want a censored version of Lolita? And why would you care what a censor has to say about the work?

I wish someone censored Gili,that movie was aids on film..I wonder why none released the 3hr directors cut..

Well, none of us remembered Gigli until YOU brought it up.

Agree 100%, We need to stop babying kids, we need to expose them to the harsh light of reality.
