Yeah, I know, I was just being snarky. I deleted the comment pretty much immediately because a: I fucked up the html tag, and b: It's one of those subjects I should be taking more seriously.
Personally, if these parents are soo concerned about they kids being exposed to debauchery and corrupting things like swearing and using women for pleasure.. they'd do more good by protesting local TV stations and movie theatres...
Really, I mean Holden spends most of the time just talking with the prostitute, not "laying with her".
i liked it the second time I read it. And I don't think it takes a book to expose teenagers to alcohol, lies, depression, or sex. I wasn't a partying type, and even I saw some of that.
I'm biased against book-bannings, since I work at a library and all.
