Glad I had a couple of cocktails before I read this thread. Drunk or sober I am vehemently opposed to cutting up the old guides. I understand that those who own them can do what they want, which is almost always true with regard to whatever someone owns. I suppose that if those who own a great work of art decide to cut it up or spray paint it, they have that right too. That certainly doesn't justify doing it.

When someone destroys something with societal or historical value, it seems to me that the equation should change. IMO, when things like that occur, we are all lessened as a society. In that regard, I am, to say the least, troubled by the fact that some people who purportedly "agree" with the sentiment that it should not occur basically then say that they don't give a shit when it actually happens because the owner can do what they want with it. That is both disingenuous and inconsistent.

It nauseates every time I see a cut out advertised. I will never buy one and if I know that you cut up a guide, I probably won't buy anything else from you, ever, because I think you suck. Others may feel differently, and they certainly have the right to do so. But that's my take.

Even worse, IMO, are the modern cards incorporating bits of game used bats or unis.

This thread got a little weird. I hadn't had anything to drink until I sat down to work tonight and check on how this thread was going. Ended up pouring myself a couple fingers of rye.

Not willing to be a moral compass is not the same as endorsing an activity. I also believe hard drugs, prostitution, gambling, and gay sex should all be legal and I am not really going to run out an engage in any of those activities. That does not mean I would not vehemently defend a consenting adult from engaging in any of those activities. Not denying someone else the right to do something does not equal endorsing said activity.

All of those things are legal if you're in the right place and have a prescription. You could do them all legally in Nevada - Nevada decriminalized sodomy in 1993, has Native American ran Casino's, the Bunny Ranch and I'm sure plenty of doctors that would prescribe oxy at the drop of a hat.

WHAT?!?! No one said cutting the books should be illegal. Even Barry the person you so adamantly agreed with said "Of course anyone is free to cut up the books, but to me that isn't the point." This thread isn't about whether the act should be illegal, it is purely about whether it should be done. Or in what instances would you agree with it.
