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:
“I am writing to resist the view that Europe and civilization are going to Hell. If I am being “crucified for an idea”Mthat is, the coherent idea around which my muddles accumulated—it is probably the idea that European culture ought to survive, that the best qualities of it ought to survive along with whatever cultures, in whatever universality. Against the propaganda of terror and the propaganda of luxury, have you a nice simple answer?”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“No race has the last word on culture and on civilization. You do not know what the black man is capable of; you do not know what he is thinking and therefore you do not know what the oppressed and suppressed Negro, by virtue of his condition and circumstance, may give to the world as a surprise.”
—Marcus Garvey (1887–1940)
