>This is a fascinating narrative that reveals the cosmic forces that have been in play over the past 66 years. Help has come from the outside to preserve the human race.

>Dolores Cannon, through her hypnosis work has discovered three waves of these volunteers. Some have come direct from the "Source" and have never lived in any type of physical body before. Others have lived as space beings on other planets or other dimensions. Because all memory is erased upon entry to the Earth dimension, they do not remember their assignment. Thus these beautiful souls have a difficult time adjusting to our chaotic world. These souls have a vital role to play as they help all of the rest of us ascend to the New Earth.

"Damaged" books are sold to the staff every now and then for 1€ a copy. Sometimes it's just the removable paper cover that has been torn. Sometimes they've taken knock and a few have production errors (pages might be 5mm too short and like that). Overall they're nice enough to keep and to give as gifts.

In the Harris debate esp., Harris was the one who kept avoiding the point and appealing to emotions (i.e. how evil religion is, SUFFERING!). I'd like to read his book but no epub.

Listen to debates besides the one where he debates obvious retards

The one with Lawrence Krauss makes Lawrence look insufferable, but just from the logic of the debate, Krauss brutalizes him. There's also that one with the meta ethicist

On top of that, his debating method relies almost entirely on terrible argumentation. I've heard him just blurt out "Hume's problem of induction is fallacious" with no justifications, and he routinely sets up logical structures and acts like a complete fucking cunt about how if you don't accept his syllogism then you're "sophomoric and inept"

His justification for his belief in God? Lol, because "god speaks to his heart". How does he justify killing children? Divine revelation lol. How does he justify his faith being the one true belief? He doesn't, because his ontology is inconsistent and as completely retarded as all other creationists

Don't mistake his publications in philosophy as him having authority or good arguments. He's the harris of theology: outspoken and loud, but a complete idiot on the subject

Richard Adams' deep appreciation for nature and skillful prose made Watership Down as good as it is.

Not something I'd expect from most writers of "young adult fiction".

thanks , i had started a thread to find out , i also had a second book I failed to remember , here's the description from the thread

the second one is about a asian girl(chinese or japanesei believe) who hated her father for leaving or dying , her mother tries desperately to ensure the daughter a normal life by marrying to a good family however they're treated with scorn because the mother has no husband. the mom eventually dies . the daughter filled with rage at her father and despair at her mothers loss, runs off and have sex with the village bad boy (troublemaker) hoping to get back at her dad, she then realizes that she will only bring shame to her mother. however the village bad boy falls in love with her and seeks her out. again sorry for the cryptic explanation but it's all i remember if anyone can help me remember these title I will be very grateful . thanks in advance

>As one reviewer put it, the cats in the series are "true to their feline nature,"[74] leading some critics to jokingly comment that the books will "leave readers eyeing Puss a bit nervously"[84] and wondering "what dreams of grandeur may haunt the family cat."[76] However, this realism also means that the series contains a relatively large amount of violence,[77] with one critic stating that it is "not for the faint of heart."[82] Several critics have compared Warriors to Brian Jacques' Redwall series,[74][78] though one commented that it was "not as elegantly written."[77] The New York Times called the series a "hit with young readers", specifically because of its "sprawling universe",[85] and the series was able to appear on the New York Times Bestseller List for a total of 117 weeks, as of 24 November 2013.[86]

In their case rotten food would kill them, which could be considered for the best. But if it's just one meal it's not the same.

I said rotten, it could mean with maggots inside of it. Expiration date doesn't mean rotten, it means that it would lose some of the characteristics the consumer would expect from the product.
