  bookworm?

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just counting, and i've read 16 books over the last three months, not counting text books.

  average length is 550 to 600 pages, which means i've read 8800 to 9600 pages this summer, plus another 1000 or so of textbooks, plus all the online bs i read.

  think i'm going to wear my eyes out?

  a growing movement is pushing a worldview that ignores history's lessons about strength and appeasement.. by bruce bawer.

  'if you want peace, prepare for war," counseled the roman general flavius vegetius renatus more than 1,600 years ago, echoing the sage advice given nine centuries earlier by the chinese military strategist sun tzu.

  i've been on the board for quite a while now and was wondering, what do my fellow jwdr's do for work, employment or career?

  me, i'm in probably one of the most hated careers in america right now.

  1. watchtower

  modernity - nietzsche's prophetic age of nihilism:.

  Shattering the Sacred Myths

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  enjoy!.

  evolutionary metaphysics means to contemplate the existence of the universe in light of the theory of evolution.

  natural evolution depends on random mutation, and some people believe this proves that consciousness has no higher purpose.

  Earthlings(Animal Cruelty)

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  earthlings is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and ...scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers.

  " the film is narrated by academy award nominee joaquin phoenix (gladiator) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist moby.

  i had a hard time watching it to the end.. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1282796533661048967&q=earthlings&total=682&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0.
