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:
“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The aggregate of all knowledge has not yet become culture in us. Rather it would seem as if, with the progressive scientific penetration and dissection of reality, the foundations of our thinking grow ever more precarious and unstable.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
