Late Feb 2012, someone complained to the government. As a result, a book that has been selling for sometime, was banned. The book in question is "Where Did I Come From?". Reason for ban: Too graphical.
This book, has over 2 million copies sold. Been around since 1984. All because of a complain, the government bans it.It is sold worldwide. I doubt it created 2 million (or more, since the same copy can be shared among siblings) rapist.
This is absurd. This book is meant to educate children on sex. Like it or not, it is better to educate kids properly. It's better than poor info, like porn. As a result, they will watch porn, and end up raping their own sisters. So, it's better to tell the truth early.
I also agree that it may be too graphical. Every child is different in mental and emotional development. Different kids, different approach. But my point is this. It is up to the parents to judge and decide what is best for their kids. Not the bloody government to ban every damn thing every time there is a complain. Just as my previous post, some idiots have now banned the jelly-like stuff for plants. Just because some parents are careless and let their kids eat it. And I just read, a kid drowned in Titiwangsa lake because he / she slipped and fell. So, drain the lake and build a condo?
Likewise, this book should be a resource available to parents. Parents can use this book as an aide to teach their children.
Some people would say, "But what if a kid walks into a bookshop, and stumbles upon it?" "What if she buys it without the parents' knowledge?". Here's my response and it is not kind.
Hello stupid. If that happens, please thank the good Lord. (Whatever your religion is). You know, how many parents are praying their kids will read??? Or actually study? So, if your kid walks into MPH and actually buys a book, you should be rejoicing. Not bloody whine. If you are still worried, please get your kid a bicycle or a motorbike. Then, he can go rempit or be a Mat Basikal. Ah. So, what's your problem? Like I've said, if a child reads, please thank the Lord for prayers answered.
In the grand scale of things, an alleged video clip of Anwar fucking a prostitute was aired, prime time, on TV3. Then, all the main-stream newspapers gives a very graphically description on what was in allegedly in Saiful's anus ("half a football team...."). So, what more can I say? Vote BN?
Over my years, I have heard so many incorrect comments / misinformation about sex. Some of them are:
- It's OK to have sex without condom. Just don't come / shoot inside - and girl won't get pregnant. Yeah right. Pre-cum has sperm too. There is still a risk of getting pregnant. And, what if the guy doesn't pull out anyway? Another case of baby-dumping?
- Oral sex can get a girl pregnant. (How our education system has failed miserably).
- Sex is just for play, without knowing the consequences. (pregnancy, disease). "Main saje lah..."
- Having sex once can get the girl pregnant many times. I have actually heard people (aka friends) arguing about this before. Not once.
- On the other extreme end "But I did it only once.... how come pregnant?". Errr... stupid, it takes only one sperm and one egg... If there are two sperms and two eggs, you will end up with twins.
- If I get pregnant, sure he will marry me. (You woke up this morning and your toaster told you that?)
So, would you want your kids to make these mistakes? Would we want other kids to make these mistakes? My answer is, no. If kids have babies without proper guidance and knowledge, one day, the babies will grow up. Some of them could end up with various social problems, like robbing me. And that's how it affects all of us. That's why I am bitching about this, even when I do not have kids. All of us are affected.
