        How come? I remember loving these books as a kid, like autistically pouring over them lol, but I obviously don’t remember anything about them. We’re they not accurate Or something?

      I used to masturbate to the people pooping in this book

        What the fuck, me too lmao. I read about how the medieval people used to use hay to wipe their asses and one time before I had to take a shit I grabbed a bunch of grass from the yard and tried to see how good it was at wiping. Think I got more of it on my hands if anything. I also remember the long poop chute and thought about what it'd be like if someone threw me into it.

        Somehow I did not grow up into a scat fetishist.

            Honestly I have no clue. I just grew out of it and stopped thinking about it eventually. Odd because I remember an incident in middle school where my class was at some school outing and this girl I liked went to use the port-a-potty and I snuck away and tried to peek through the gaps in it to try and see her peeing. That was the last time I recall being interested in anything like that.

        For me it was the JC Penny catalog. I feel no shame.

          >JC penny catalog
          Someone told me they used to us lingerie catalogs. I went and found one and looked through it, and got caught by my step dad as a kid doing that.
          I wasn't jacking off or anything and I actually found the catalog to be pretty boring, I just wanted to see if it was good or if the women were attractive.
          Was a real embarrassing night.
          I'd say I feel real sorry for kids trying to use a catalog these days because everyone in them is obese, but they get smart phones at age 9 these days so they are probably into more hardcore shit by age 13 than I ever was back then. Kind of sad honestly.

        Tell me what's wrong with Homeschooling. My time in a public school was fucking awful because I had to hang out with retards and fags who had to have everything explained to them a million times.

          Homeschooling kids tend to be weirder because they're constantly surrounded by good people and loved ones. They lack the hardened and cautious exterior grown from exposure to jerks.

            That's only a partial truth. I spent most of the mornings studying and the other half of the day at the skatepark hanging out with "bad" people.

          Homeschooling is the most responsible way of educating your children.

            Homeschooling, if you want to call it that, is how kids were taught for most of history. Putting kids in a kid zoo is a strange new concept.

          You either end up an autismo with an alright job and no social life or a "cause" fighting weirdo wanting to pet hobos unaware that this will get you stabbed.

        I live in trumpsville city in southern state USA and the amount of people, republicans in particular, homeschooling their kids now is crazy, my wife works with kids and more often than not they are homeschooled and they’re all way smarter and more well adjusted than the kids in public schools. The kids in public schools are like ambivalent zombies that can’t go 3 seconds without looking at their phones, the ones that are homeschooled act like actual children and love learning and interacting with the world.

      I own the paperback copy of this book, bought at an airport bookstore as I was flying home for the holidays in '03. Saw it looked cool and I was totally down for hyping myself up for the movie.

    Yeah, I loved those eyewitness books, and I used to go feral when my teachers would play the videos in class. My dad used to work at Borders, so sometimes I would go there and read until he got off work, and I remember really liking the -ology books they had.

    That has literally never been the truth. Books are average, which is at least better than movies.
