Surely this is about what people find offensive and how it affects them.

As I understand it Herge himself was rewriting his books up to his death changing items he felt were wrong now.

No we shouldn't ban books as that makes us no better than the nazis who burned them. However these should be (as others have said previously) set down as how things were seen in the past.

For historical changes just read Conan-Doyle or Agatha Christie. The views of the upper class at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th were repulsive to say the least.

AS regards my thoughts on Mugabe, he is a murderous brute who should be made to suffer the fate he is putting his own nation through as do all the leaders of ZANU PF.
