What is dangerous is your hostile reaction to my comments, which were intended to be humorous, but obviously you have, sadly, taken a different view.

Thanks for spilling the beans about the bodily rituals though: we women will be on the lookout and suss out all such attempts at craven manipulation

It’s just reading body language and NLP. This type of stuff is worth reading if you deal with sales people. They do get labelled as misogynistic though and blamed for men using women, which seems a bit of a stretch. If someone had to go to these lengths to flirt with women it’s not surprising that when they successfully get practised that they use it to get what they want.

I don't suppose this qualifies, does it?!

Nothing. Didn't try to bite me, didn't try to eat me. Actually didn't do anything besides sit there bookishly.

On this basis I can readily say that it is not books that are dangerous, it is human stupidity.

A thread about how dangerous books can be is rather ridiculous - the title should be changed to 'Books that I, the OP, find to be dangerous'.

You're obviously impervious to literary influence of any kind.

I don't whether this is a good or a bad thing.

Catcher In The Rye because it makes people want to kill hippies...






Couldnt resist!

Tis just biding its time for a more opportune moment to attack.
I bet you didn't do that at night.

Be smart, break its spine. It won't stop it but it'll slow it down enough for you to escape. Kinda like zombies in that way.

All three of the abrahamic books were political. Sure Jesus was the original socialist and a book that tells a people they are the chosen ones, nothing much more political than that.

Muslims should take the legitimate criticisms of the The Satanic Verses on board. To my mind, the Koran is plagiarised waffle and don't get me started on The Hadith.

My collosal conceit and arrogance means I am impervious to any sort of influence of any kind. Sadly......
