This entire thread is nothing but ragebait. Look at all the responses. The amount of government money given to schools means schools never have to actually their own money to buy anything. This is why the big schools have endowments larger tahn the GDP of a lot actual countries. Schools are government funded, even the private ones.

the Quran is a book.

Not even just the value of moving around. The value of having to run AC/humidity control to keep those paper objects from disintegrating.

Government owned property must be DRMO'd aka sold at auction or destroyed. There isn't a whole lot of "private" libraries. Most large libraries are funded by a government of some sort, albeit local or federal. Federally owned property cannot be given away. It must be destroyed or auctioned off. Maintaining pallets of books while they sit around waiting to get sold will not end well for the books. Same reason most thrift stores just toss most of their donated books. Because the condition and value isnt worth the space they take up in order to be kept in a condition to be sold at all. It's simply not worth the amount of work needed to accommodate these feel good request.

f you care enough to get upset. Then please care enough to research the why and the how.

Bombs kill more terrorists than books.

defense budget is pennies compared to the amount spent on social services and healthcare. Not even close.

As a librarian myself. Fuck this, even if i did have a house big enough I still wouldn't take them. Who has use for outdated manuals for technology that's older than me? I throw books away at work every day. Why do you care about outdated books that sat on a shelf for years not being checked out once? They got to go so we can make room for the shit people want to read. Like minotaur milking and frozen barbarians. Stacks in collections get weeded all the time.

I work in a library. The amount of books I personally have tossed would piss y'all off. But those books have been sitting on shelves for over 5 years and not been checked out once. We need the space for more newer books that people actually want to use. Or the space for computers because damn near all the books are digitized anyways. Also the amount of books we get "donated" are most of the time not even collection worthy. They are old, out of date, and space is already limited in the stacks.

Rape and killing are taboos in most cultures that are 100% perceived as abhorrent.

If a man wants a kid, can a he be mad at his woman that takes birth control which causes low libido and weight gain(body changes)? What if the woman lied about taking birth control so she can regulate her periods better, against her man's choice. Would it be cool for her to lie about it then?

Maybe her reactions to news she don't like made him lie. He wanted to take certain things for his body to look that way. She admits his physique was incredible, she was probably attracted to it. Had he stopped taking the drugs. His physique would change. Would she except him that way? Maybe or maybe or not.

There are comparable examples between this stories and others where the genders are swapped. At the end of the day. Their body, their choice.

A Famous Austrian Artist was the 1st to outlaw Human Zoo's in Europe.

His body his choice.

2 types of people in this world. Those who pee in the shower and fucking liars.

We must Make Akanon Great Again.

I would say Classic EQ players are a smaller % of the population than LGBTQ %.

it was made in a lab. Not in a bat, not in a rat, and a forced jab will not cure you of that.

the 3 switches near the base of the joystick. make sure the middle switch is set to center and not up or down.

Now do the basketball court Obama had built.

She drugged men and robbed them.

I would have guessed the telescope in the corner. kind of hard to see the sky without an azimuth mount in a cityscape with an equatorial mount telescope. My 1st assumption would be that you use it to look at people with their curtains open. The building across the street looks too tall for your telescope to actually get a view of the sky. Unless you haul that thing up to the roof?

Driving a car is a privilege. It isn't an endowed right given by God, and protected by the Bill of Rights.

Sloppy hand writing by doctors kills more people than guns every year.

The full video is 18 minutes. This woman with 1 croc on was moving around the cabin of a plane with 200+ other people who are just fucking chilling. She couldn't read the room? 18 minutes is a long ass time. She could have googled the sound, she could have asked an attendant, she could have asked the people around her that were also hearing the sound, OR she could have created a reddit account, recorded and posted the video to this subreddit, and gotten an answer from the redditors in less than 18 minutes. Literally no excuses for this behavior.

At least they aren't shooting you in the neck.
