| OMG! I just read that VA was banned in TEXAS, US!!! (so far only one county) I feel so bad for the Texas fans! here is a link to more information: ( It is under 'I'm with the banned') http://blue-succubus.livejournal.com/I would move out of Texas... or I would go other places, buy the books and read them there. I have one question- WHY would they ban VA?!?!?! I am sooooooo glad I live in Florida!!! The Great Sunshine State!  _________________ Lana Danzen "You're worth it believe me."--Shadow Kiss--   |

| I remember reading about that on RM's facebook. It's sad that any book is banned. I'm trying to look at it in a positive light... banning the book will only give it more publicity and make people want to read it more u know? I wonder banning a book in a state- does that affect ordering it via internet? |

| I hope not.. those poor Texans. At least it was only one county... Hopefully it does bring some publicity but not the whole world's attention- in case it is banned in more places... _________________ Lana Danzen "You're worth it believe me."--Shadow Kiss-- |

It's not like VA has been banned in ALL of Texas. It was only one town, and a pretty damn small one at that. I'm a Texan, and I'd never heard of Stephenville before in my life until the news that VA was banned in the schools there. I personally think it's stupid to ban books from anybody. It really shows how ignorant these people are. But it's not like VA has been banned from every store in Texas. And it's not like it isn't available anywhere else. It's only unavailable to kids in school libraries. I'm sure they could go pick up a copy of VA at a Walmart or a Target. Hell even Best Buy carries them now.

Move out of Texas? That's a little harsh don't you think? Just because one stupid school district decided to ban a book? Like other schools around the country don't ban books? Yeah, right.  And why would you feel bad for Texans? Yeah I feel bad for those kids in Stephenville, at least the ones that rely on their school library to read books. But they'll still be able to find it online and in stores, like I said.
You guys are all generalizing that all Texans feel the way Stephenville does. Which is incredibly wrong. I mean, RM even had signings here. 3 of them this year in fact. There was one in Houston, one in Austin, and one in Irving. I attended the one in Houston, and lemme tell you, I could barely even see her there were so many people. So don't go around *feeling bad* for Texans. We still have VA here. And we like it too.
And WHY would they ban VA? Probably because it has sexual content, language, drug use, and violence. As well as an inappropriate relationship between a minor and an adult, who also happens to be her teacher. I'm not saying it's a good thing VA was banned, because it's just a book. It's not like RM intended young people to model themselves after her characters. There's a reason it's called fiction. However, I can understand why it would be banned._________________  Some people read books for fun. - Dimitri Belikov |

| I know but , no offense, I am not a big Texas fan to begin with ( my grandparents lived up there for a while and we would visit them often.) I know that VA has all those things in it but they and the characters, atmosphere, plot and well everything in the book is what makes it soooooo GOOD though. Really?? Best Buy carries them?? Huh... That's news... I thought they had banned the book from all stores an libraries... I didn't do too much research. I guess I am more surprised than anything because it is a book designed to entertain teens. How come twilight wasn't banned? It has sex, reckless immature actions and violent decapitations... _________________ Lana Danzen "You're worth it believe me."--Shadow Kiss-- |

Or is the real reason for the banning because the Series ends up showing Incestual Romance between Christian and Lissa?  _________________ Please come and join us in this site, as we could use a hand in growing, right away. http://hogwartsstudents.darkbb.com/forum.htmIs the Ultimate Coordinator, Kira Yamato, Still Alive?If he is alive, then could someone please tell him to come in, and kill the Volturi with Strike Freedom Gundam, please? |

| Seriously, the Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray had a cutter named Ann Bradshaw, whom while she isn't as fun to stare at as Lissa is, is really just as mentally screwed as Lissa is, yet you never hear the Gemma Doyle trilogy get banned at all, do you?Apparently the trilogy has far more Bad-@ssed, not to mention actually good role-models, as opposed to twilight's sequels, yet they knew to respect the trilogy, at least, so what gives with V.A?The fact it has a real spine, that twilight failed to develop, correctly?  Wouldn't the banning just back-fire on them all, in the end, anyway? _________________ Please come and join us in this site, as we could use a hand in growing, right away. http://hogwartsstudents.darkbb.com/forum.htmIs the Ultimate Coordinator, Kira Yamato, Still Alive?If he is alive, then could someone please tell him to come in, and kill the Volturi with Strike Freedom Gundam, please? |

| It's just censorship which occurs everyday everyplace. Harry Potter series was banned in places. Even Twilight. I was censored in highschool. I'm not saying it's fair or right. But if people really want to read, they will seek it out.. .no matter what a school district says. It's really just about politics. Not about why one book is banned or censored or anything isn't because truthful every book could face being censored or banned in certain places. It's always a risk. |

| I did recall the Potter-World novels being wrongfully accused of devil worshipping, when really, that's what the twilight sequels have done, so well.I guess we are more blind than we realized, in a way. _________________ Please come and join us in this site, as we could use a hand in growing, right away. http://hogwartsstudents.darkbb.com/forum.htmIs the Ultimate Coordinator, Kira Yamato, Still Alive?If he is alive, then could someone please tell him to come in, and kill the Volturi with Strike Freedom Gundam, please? |

Funny, because i thought twilight was engaging in devil worship, after the 1st novel._________________ Please come and join us in this site, as we could use a hand in growing, right away. http://hogwartsstudents.darkbb.com/forum.htmIs the Ultimate Coordinator, Kira Yamato, Still Alive?If he is alive, then could someone please tell him to come in, and kill the Volturi with Strike Freedom Gundam, please? |
