>Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.

who cares, nothing about you witnessing this actually effects you in any way so there is objectively nothing wrong with normalizing this. its called freedom. if your grand children are taught about snoofing in sex ed class it doesn't effect you in any way

have fun standing up for yourself when there are a billion potential desperate hard working immigrants in the world willing to do your job without giving your boss a hard time about it. man it sure is a good thing your ruling class and their puppets keeps their countries in constant turmoil and keeps them desperate while LETTING THEM IN so that said ruling class can grind your race into dust through exploitation and replace you like your race means nothing in order to continue to prop up their lifestyles

Good one "m8", top level bantz, how do you come up with this stuff, really

>So if my site is the greatest site that exists and that will ever be made (and it is),
Wow you have a website? That's incredible.

I'm literally crying right now. Almost as hard as the daily tears of laughter I cry when I see people who are still upset (and cannot fathom the fact that) Trump won.

>and will remain so for as long as it remains the internet's bastion for all those who are attracted by anonymity (which is to say for nobodies).
OK?

>And now sit back and watch the torrent of threads confounding anonymity with pseudonymity that will be popping up on there.
Whew, more big words! You sure showed us. :^)

4chan's /lit/ board says that poetry's dead,
I'd beg to differ, just look at me go.
Most people that you know for poetry is dead,
Speaking of which, fuck off tumblrinas.
You are the worst part of this stupid board.
Jibber jabber left and right, it's copied.
Let's get some shit about a book or two,
Speaking of which if you don't like meme books
Go suck more dick than you already do.
No offense to McCarthy, you're all clowns,
Acting like Tao Lin has nothing to do
Than shit post on a board he doesn't like.
Yeah! I read books and I like to smoke weed,
Been thinking that I'll go across the sea
To where the ladies squint, they've got smooth skin.
Big titties, little titties, I don't care,
Just need straight black hair in the underwear.
You're the type of bro who thinks he'll die
With one woman, two kids, fame and glory.
Who do you think you're fooling? Not yourself.
I see you crying on this board all day,
Whining like a baby, masturbating.
Couldn't get a woman to look your way
If she studied English and you were the
Spitting image of Jane Austen. You're a
Lesbian and you know it don't you, huh?
Acting all high and mighty 'cause you go
To some school in the middle of nowhere,
Some place none of us ever heard before.
I'm getting money, bud, I'm getting paid
And I'm shitting on you and your degree.
Write circles around you and your dumb taste.
You'd wish you was me, keep my profile low.
Know if you saw me in the streets I'm that
Type of guy that make you look to the ground.
Spend my nights smoking reefer all alone,
Thinking 'bout the future and where I'll go.
All I see is Gulfstreams and silicon.
Don't get the wrong impression I'm like you,
Hit the books everyday just for my strength.
Admit it, you look down on those around.
We come from the same place but you're not me.
I can hear you talking shit already.
All that shit that you say, you're wasting time
Proving my point, I knew that you were lame,
Sitting alone in your room, by yourself.
Criticism never stopped me before.
They just let me know that I'm doing well,
Because I'm the one they talk about.

Do you actually know what website you're on?

>Flaubert

If we're talking about prose now, then Flaubert>nearly everyone.

He was the absolute daddy. A primary example of how a good novelist needs 100 pages to say what a bad novelist fills a doorstopper with.

I'm willing to admit that as a non-French, I probably haven't read enough Hugo to have a definitive opinion on him. I liked the Three Musketeers though, that was his best book.
