The Culture
The readers of the J-Walk Blog were a loyal and vocal group from around the globe. Frequent commenters have gotten to know one another, and Walkenbach has even met with some of them in person. The readers addressed the links and each other in the comments section, formerly a lively forum for debate and discussion. While the discourse could become heated, ad hominem attacks were discouraged and profanity was forbidden. Topics discussed ran the gamut from outright silliness to serious theological disputes, although the 1000-character limit imposed by the blogmaster often limited the depth of the discussion. The blog claimed to be "Reducing corporate productivity" by keeping employees entertained and distracted from their appropriate duties.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“The best hopes of any community rest upon that class of its gifted young men who are not encumbered with large possessions.... I now speak of extensive scholarship and ripe culture in science and art.... It is not large possessions, it is large expectations, or rather large hopes, that stimulate the ambition of the young.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I’ve finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
