How can the animal that created the Symphony, also orchestrate the Holocaust?

The Bible teaches duality — man is composed of body and soul that exist together harmoniously. This is different from dualism — body and soul are opposed to one another. We must be careful to take care of our bodies by eating well, exercising, and such things, because how we care for ourselves reflects what we think about God’s image. Consider how you care for yourself and what you must do to be healthy and glorify God with your lifestyle.

that's not what people mean when they say "the duality of man"

SWEDEN YES

I got a stem degree because it's almost impossible to politicize and provides job opportunities. I study literature on my own time so I can do it the way I want. I can hold my own in discussions with my friends that are taking lit degrees.

Explain this then.

It's America, not American, so it's an exception.

It's almost like eternal life and eternal youth have been ideas that have plagued man's conscience for all of time.

But in the future aging will be solved. It makes no fucking sense to do things like time travel or other conceptual super-advanced things in a sci-fi and then pretend the same civilization hasn't already solved aging. Aging is not as complex as FTL or creating matter from nothing etc etc., it's a thing we will DEFINITELY fix. So why use it as a plot point? It's like making a sci-fi in the '95 and making it a plot point that gif's take 10 minutes to load in a story set in 2040

It has some fun little bits, but way to bloated with little payoff.

It's shit. Very few King books aren't, but it's shit on a special level.

first 3/4ths are interesting, and then it drops off very quickly

Semantically yes, but removing it changes the rhythm significantly.

It gives a better sense of reciprocation. He is arguably being positive about those few times when she did love him.
Anyway...

>>8533100
no. Implying that you loved someone doesnt mean they loved you as well.

Bend her over and fuck her in an alley while one of her friends watches and does nothing about it.

>>8533076
tell her your too busy reading The TimeTravelers Wife's Striped Pajama Bone Clock

So? Just kill yourself and you won't be have to worry about it.

punctuation is a social construct

Run on sentences don't exist.
It's just some shit made up because Americans are retards and can't remember more than 5 words.

As long as a sentence is grammatically correct there is no impetus for your thought to end

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.

>>8532973
mark, matthew and luke, john

>>8532973
Mark, John, Matthew, Luke. This is the correct order!

>Any suggested starting point(s)
A bin.

would have been better off eating the money you spent on those books

zombies was never a good genre in the first place

>>8532974
Zombies are good as environmental hazards, I would hazard to say

You left one of the worst parts of thw book though, that guy who sold fake medicine with no fucks given and then got to chill without a care. That and muh japonese made me cringe.

But in the end it's just dumb fun. It's like insulting dresden files, sure it's shit but it's entertaining shit.

I knew none of you faggots actually read books, this just confirms.

He claimed the death tolls under Pol Pot's regime were exagerrated/etc. Usual anti-Western spiel from Chomsky.

Then he had to eat his words when it came to light that the Khmer Rouge were actually as bad as they seemed.

>people who don't have 100% of the information make bad decisions!!!
>we who have all of the information on the past are superior people

Are you retarded?

>>8532895
>people who don't have 100% of the information make bad decisions!!!
accurate information on the Khmer Rouge was already available, he only rejected it because of his flawed ideology

>Are you retarded?
you can't read

Shameless self-bump

By far the second one.

The white cover is ugly as fuck and the blue cover is the classic meme edition that is instantly recognisable on someone's shelf.

Get the pdf from whichever pirate site of your choice, print several volumes and use a binder for each volume. It will make it easier. And you will not look like a cunt when reading it outside.

Write a shit ton of short stories instead. It will hone your story telling skills (plot, characterization, how to write dialogue that does sound retarded) and give you feedback on whats good and what sucks.

Then ,when you have enough life experience to write a decent novel, you can bang it out quick.

write some short stuff and get it published in magazines or on a webzone so you can establish yourself as a writer and not just some dude that wrote a book

Work every day, if only a little.
