  1. Hi everyone. 

    Just purchased this book online graded as NM. Before opening the final packaging I noticed what appears to be a pen mark over the bar code. 

     

    Am I correct in my assessment or is there a chance this is a printing issue?

    Thanks in advance!

    How many people go out and blow up things & people...?

    Now, how many people have sex...?

    Quite a difference. Everyone I know who is an adult has had sex. I've never known anyone who has blown up things & people.

    It's a bad argument, and always has been a bad argument, and the go-to bad argument of people who try and argue that the depiction of sex is no worse, and often better, than the depiction of violence. The depiction of sex and the depiction of violence are two different things, and, in the normal course of things, don't stimulate people the same way. In the normal course of things, mind you.

    If I see people and things being blown up, it doesn't inspire me to go out and do the same...which is true of almost everyone.

    If I see people having sex, there's a good chance I'll be inspired to go out and do the same...which is also true of almost everyone, which is why porn exists. 

    Sex is a perfectly natural and wonderful thing...between consenting adults, behind closed doors. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it...behind closed doors. I don't care what you do in your bedroom...provided you keep it there. 

    You want to see penetration, and you're an adult, knock yourself out...in your house/bedroom.

    And remember that people who work at grading companies may not enjoy the same choice as you do to NOT be exposed to it, if they don't want to. You rob them of that choice when you send it in with no warning, and they open up your shipment....something worth considering, no...?

    Please read all my posts... Im ok with cgc's decision and I'm ok with peoples opinions really. I do find it strange that we have somewhat demonized our own bodies.

    I'm not here to argue BUT you may think deeply about your statement about not knowing anyone that has blown things up. To a certain degree it happens everyday... A lot of people in this country make HUGE sacrifices (right or wrong) so some of us can live in "comfort".

    Only if it's a bloody orgy with a devil and all the relevant symbolism. 

    People have sex with some pretty "offensive" things in real life.  Until I meet the devil. I consider the devil a made up entity. 

    I'm ok with cgc's decisions and yours. I'm ok with my copy of faithless not being encapsulated.
