It's not really as black and white as the guy would want people to believe. I'd say 70 days is a bit much, but he stole and destroyed public property.

Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is fucking awesome. What are some other books like it, preferably long ones?
[QUOTE=Collin665;29281674]Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is fucking awesome. What are some other books like it, preferably long ones?[/QUOTE] Starship Troopers is a good one. Haven't read it by I've recently seen the Animated series that follows the book better. The animation was amzing for it being made in 1999 to 2000. Fahrenheit 451 is amazing but a little bit shorter and 1984 is a staple. I've been looking for a scifi book similar to Half Life 2 because I really need something like that.
[QUOTE=TH89;29281008]that was the joke thisispain! that was my joke!!! [editline]19th April 2011[/editline] I'm pretty sure most high school students are forced to read 1984[/QUOTE] Actually, my class read it in 8th grade
I gotta read the Qur'an
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;29282069]I gotta read the Qur'an[/QUOTE] It's alright. More poetic than the Christian Bible in a lot of places.

Some men just want to see Quaran burn
Some sort of punishment or fine for stealing it would have been fine, what a bunch of babies, getting all upset over the burning of some book.

it's no where near one of the worst things you're putting burning paper in league with things like starvation, murder and rape by saying it's "one of the worst things" ideas effect nobody. ideas being put onto paper does not change that

People who say his sentence is excessive, in Canada, hate speech (advocating genocide or inciting hatred against any 'identifiable group') is an indictable offence under the Criminal Code of Canada with maximum prison terms of two to fourteen years.
If he hadn't stolen the book then this sentence would have been ridiculous. However... stealing a book from a library is definitely a dick move. [editline]18th April 2011[/editline] And also illegal.

What a terrible legal decision. I feel proud of America for once because I know this would never happen here.
I can't believe people are fine with burning a book.

[QUOTE=VengfulSoldier;29283835]:sigh: I've lost all hope for this place.[/QUOTE] Whelp if the defense of speech rights makes you lose faith, you got some serious problems. Care explaining why it should be illegal or are you just going to bitch about it? [QUOTE=Zeke129;29283847]If he bought it himself I'd be fine with it but the destruction of stolen property isn't cool[/QUOTE] Yeah but I doubt most of the people that are gonna be saying "throw him in jail" are thinking primarily because of the theft. While that's a dick move and should be punished, it doesn't influence what he should get from the latter action independent of the pure act of destroying stolen property.
