Wait, you are serious?  "Mein Kampf" was a book written by a certain man with funny mustache from Germany.  He lead a certain party post WW1 and throughout WW2.  I mean you can google it but probably not from a work computer

My Gingerbread house from Amazon that I placed on Monday with a delivery eta of Apr 30 - May 7 just shipped and is now slated to be delivered tomorrow. Wow. 

[Emvisawthatswho]

My first 2 orders of GBH were slated for May 3-7. Next order days later showed April 23-26.

All 3 currently show April 28.

My GBH order from Amazon showed up early 06R1

[Sumidor]

I have a question, I ordered the gingerbread house today from SAH, and I added a print that I got from VIP points to the order, plus it qualified for the Amelia Earhart GWP. But then I got an email 10 minutes after that the Gingerbread house was temporarily out of stock, will they ship the print and Earhart set before the gingerbread house? Or will I not get the Earhart set if the gingerbread doesn’t ship for like a month?

If that is all your ordered, the order won't ship until the backorder is filled.  If you had ordered something that was in stock at the same time, then the rest would have shipped.

Ordered a 80107 Spring Lantern Festival from Legoland New York last week.  At the time, it was the only place that had it available, and I had FOMO.  Of course, the day after it was handed off to FedEx, it came in stock everywhere.  So no promos for me.  No VIP points for me.

But I have it.  Going to pair it up with Temple of Airjitsu at some point.

[Pseudoty]

Legoland NY Easter Bunny’s and tulips arriving today with free shipping. Thanks @odysea11for the DD post.

Just received this from S&H.  Limit is three and this was 100% my third purchase.  Such a pain to have to deal with.

Backordered Gingerbread houses from amz shipped today. At least a month sooner than promised. Also received one from LEGO Shop at Home yesterday. May be coming back into stock shortly.

I don't mean to dredge up a two-week+ thread but the above statement is the exact reason why ALL censorship is bad.  The fact that people are not aware of such a book less than 100 years after its publication is scary.  The fact that you have to worry about googling Hitler at work purely for context information is another.  Not that I don't think that you would get in trouble for doing so, but its scary. Knowledge should never be blocked or censored, not matter how ugly you may find it.

if you asked me: "Did you know Hitler wrote a book?"

I be like..sure, I'm sure he wrote tons of stuff...probably some really meaningful ones too that led to his popularity; do I care to read any?

NOPE!

I like you, I like your posts.  However, there is nothing sadder than a person that is aware of his ignorance and rejoices in it.  Just the idea that a book might be the reason that lead to his "popularity" shows an alarming absence of historical familiarity.    I'm not going to muddy this thread up with more off-topic rantings.  Go ahead and tell me how stupid my opinion is and then, let's get back to LEGO.

I didn’t comment on it at the time, but I was pretty shocked as well.  But that’s the direction of things.  A big reason for teaching history is so that we learn to be aware of bad things happening again else we are doomed to repeat them.  Censorship, deleting things and revisitive history will doom us all to the same catastrophies.

so, instead of saying “what’s the big deal with banning Dr Seuss” we might think “why is Mein Kamp, Rules for Radicals & Bomb Making ok?

maybe there are other objectives in play??  If we are to learn anything from history at all we should know to not just trust the government & media blindly.

Censorship of any kind is a very slippery slope. Not many years ago the government tried to ban pornography. The first Amendment provides protections for all speech, unless such speech could cause an imminent and immediate harm to the public.

Banning books has happened throughout history and no matter the reason for the banning, the purpose behind it was to control the population and what information they have access too. It’s never been for the good of the public and never will be.

What’s scarier then the censorship is the group shaming that goes on because people have different opinions. Again throughout history this group shaming starts with what people think are altruistic motives but history has shown this group shaming eventually leads to violence against those that are not part of the group.

I find it funny everyone is worried about Dr. Seuss books or Disney cartoons, when China is currently running concentration camps torturing and killing Muslims, genocide has been ongoing in South Sudan for a decade, Myanmar is ethnically cleaning Muslims and Buddhists and Turkey is ethnically cleansing The Kurds and Christians.

You don’t see anyone protesting this, tweeting about it, demanding people stop buying Chinese products, the media doesn’t cover it because it doesn’t fit their agenda and The US government won’t say anything to China or Turkey because they are allies and since Mynamar and Sudan don’t have any resources we can steal.

I wouldn't go that far.

I can probably make a long list of books many here have never read (never heard of or choose not to care)... and have the same smug attitude...there are tons of books by important figures in history that impacts all of us still today...that many or most choose not to care enough to read.

How many here has read the Bible?...all of it.  It has a solid hold on pretty much most of our everyday...like it or not...well let's see some hands. Are you willfully ignorant for not reading ALL of it...beyond the few lines from Sunday School? 

How about the Koran.  I hear that Confucius guy wrote stuff that impacts billions..DAILY...any takers on his works?

OK, let's stick to "European"...as that's the clear bias here...Socrates anyone?  

 Right now my reading list consist of Timothy Zahn's: SW Thrawn (waiting for digital to go on sale for me to link to my Kindle)...Hitler...is a distant 2nd. Thank-you very much

Why is a censorship discussion in this thread? Discuss this in the proper forum.

I tend to fall on the side of show everything even the ugly so we can learn from it.

but Seuss wasnt banned. He was not. That is an intentional misuse of the word to outrage people. 

Can we please stop spreading that false information?

Damnit. I thought you were about to do a Seussian rhyme there.

Where’s that janitor mod? He needs to clean up this thread.
