WaffenThinMint Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Spotted the following display on the stairway of Waterstones in Glasgow aimed at poisoning the impressionable minds of a future generation. Should this sort of filth be allowed in a high street bookshop? Edit: Sorry mods, realised this should be under hidden contents for understandable reasons.

Gaz Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 In all seriousness, one of the problems with Scottish Football is that too many kids grow up thinking that playing for Rangers or Celtic will be the pinnacle of their career, rather than a stepping stone to bigger and better things.

Newbornbairn Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 As if any of those bigoted fucks might breed offspring that could read. What the f**k would a bigot sister's follower be doing in a book shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Road Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Or there is a huge fan Base in Glasgow and Waterstones want to make money? I'm sure the books don't have a sash or hunger strike tactics in them. Ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Although it's a minority I know of plenty half decent old firm fans who refuse to take their kids to see either team as they "don't want them growing up involved in all that nonsense" or words to that effect.Of course you will still get the scum parents who are quite willing and proactively looking to get their children involved in bigotry.

WILLIEA Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Would it be too much of a stretch to suggest that there may be more veracity in The Gruffalo than the other two tomes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Too many kids in Scotland into the Sony stations and the facebooks and the literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennboy1978 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I remember the stupid decision of reading my son the real Pinocchio, not the Disney version, to get him to sleep.If anyone has read it, you can understand why I was silent for most of the book.In hindsight a trip to the ugly sisters would have got him to sleep much, much earlier.

I think I must've suppressed the memory as I haven't thought about this for years. I read Pinocchio myself when I was a bairn and given that I too, was known to tell the occasional stretcher, was deeply disturbed by it. One time when Disney did legions of kids a favour imo.
