It's probably a bad idea Darth_Katie Send a noteboard - 04/01/2011 11:06:02 PM
But i really don't like this book, it was one of the very very few assigned reading books i never actually finished in school. I hate reading dialects ... Nothing but pages and pages of it and tom sawyer's malevolent stupidity ...

New Edition of Huckleberry Finn will eliminate offensive words - 04/01/2011 07:16:36 PM 2149 Views
I am annoyed - 04/01/2011 07:41:37 PM 1054 Views
That's nothing that new. I read Sawyer and Huck Finn when I was like 10, and it was definitely water - 04/01/2011 07:45:07 PM 1074 Views
I wonder... - 04/01/2011 08:44:31 PM 1068 Views
I believe... - 04/01/2011 09:08:13 PM 1104 Views
That's new to me. - 04/01/2011 09:35:05 PM 1043 Views
Grimm's Fairy Tales are awesomely dark - 05/01/2011 04:36:28 AM 1042 Views
I knew that... - 05/01/2011 09:27:44 PM 1026 Views
There's a difference between a kids' version and a normal version with a censored word, though. *NM* - 04/01/2011 11:19:26 PM 508 Views
Wouldn't the "kids' versions" ALREADY have that word excised? *NM* - 04/01/2011 11:53:09 PM 521 Views
Presumably, yes. *NM* - 05/01/2011 06:28:47 PM 521 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 05/01/2011 01:04:16 AM 629 Views
That is just wrong. - 04/01/2011 08:00:57 PM 1111 Views
I agree. - 04/01/2011 09:12:53 PM 1177 Views
my gut says it wrong but my brain says it is OK - 04/01/2011 09:11:00 PM 1270 Views
No, the goal of the book (or one of them) was to illustrate authentic dialogue. Your brain sucks. - 04/01/2011 11:49:13 PM 1093 Views
I hate it when I agree with you - 05/01/2011 12:09:37 AM 1052 Views
yes but you are disagreeing with me so it is a wash *NM* - 05/01/2011 04:09:54 PM 501 Views
I see logic isn't your strong point. - 05/01/2011 04:09:27 PM 1112 Views

it still boils down to the fact that most teachers will not use a book with word nigger in it - 08/01/2011 02:55:29 AM 975 Views
You must have a very low opinion of black people... - 08/01/2011 07:34:14 PM 1151 Views

Wow. Hmm. - 04/01/2011 09:31:27 PM 1127 Views
naw Twain was a pinko liberal *NM* - 04/01/2011 09:46:57 PM 514 Views
It's probably a bad idea - 04/01/2011 11:06:02 PM 994 Views
Heh. - 04/01/2011 11:26:00 PM 1035 Views
Re: It's probably a bad idea - 04/01/2011 11:51:31 PM 1116 Views
Just because it's the point doesn't mean I have to like it. *NM* - 05/01/2011 04:44:10 AM 496 Views
Reacting to "nigger" like that makes the word more hurtful. - 05/01/2011 03:26:35 AM 1153 Views
Well - 05/01/2011 02:03:58 PM 1038 Views
Pshaw. - 05/01/2011 01:52:57 PM 1058 Views
My thoughts exactly *NM* - 06/01/2011 08:42:42 AM 503 Views
Re: I revel in your succint common sense. - 07/01/2011 06:01:08 PM 1704 Views
