One of my most vivid memories is of coming back West from prep school and later from college at Christmas time. Those who went farther than Chicago would gather in the old dim Union Station at six o’clock of a December evening, with a few Chicago friends, already caught up into their own holiday gayeties, to bid them a hasty good-by. I remember the fur coats of the girls returning from Miss This-or-that’s and the chatter of frozen breath and the hands waving overhead as we caught sight of old acquaintances, and the matchings of invitations: “Are you going to the Ordways’? the Herseys’? the Schultzes’?” and the long green tickets clasped tight in our gloved hands. And last the murky yellow cars of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad looking cheerful as Christmas itself on the tracks beside the gate.
When we pulled out into the winter night and the real snow, our snow, began to stretch out beside us and twinkle against the windows, and the dim lights of small Wisconsin stations moved by, a sharp wild brace came suddenly into the air. We drew in deep breaths of it as we walked back from dinner through the cold vestibules, unutterably aware of our identity with this country for one strange hour, before we melted indistinguishably into it again.
post 'em lads
you and your anime bird can fuck off and all
Can all the sky pixie pals fuck off to a /britcult/ thread please?
Do I have you tell you about jonah and the whale?
this is why western people have so much mental illness. unironically have more respect for muzzies than atheists

That’s my Middle West — not the wheat or the prairies or the lost Swede towns, but the thrilling returning trains of my youth, and the street lamps and sleigh bells in the frosty dark and the shadows of holly wreaths thrown by lighted windows on the snow. I am part of that, a little solemn with the feel of those long winters, a little complacent from growing up in the Carraway house in a city where dwellings are still called through decades by a family’s name. I see now that this has been a story of the West, after all — Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to Eastern life.
Even when the East excited me most, even when I was most keenly aware of its superiority to the bored, sprawling, swollen towns beyond the Ohio, with their interminable inquisitions which spared only the children and the very old — even then it had always for me a quality of distortion. West Egg, especially, still figures in my more fantastic dreams. I see it as a night scene by El Greco: a hundred houses, at once conventional and grotesque, crouching under a sullen, overhanging sky and a lustreless moon. In the foreground four solemn men in dress suits are walking along the sidewalk with a stretcher on which lies a drunken woman in a white evening dress. Her hand, which dangles over the side, sparkles cold with jewels. Gravely the men turn in at a house — the wrong house. But no one knows the woman’s name, and no one cares.
Watched one flew over the cuckoos nest for the first time the other night
I’ve met so many women that fit the profile of the nurse
Of course you do, they're as insane as you are.
really like vampire weekends new tunes lads
How can you be an atheist when you've never even read the bible?
women are hardly different
You wrote this?
Decent film, but the book is so much better.
Some cultist nobend.
The book is better.
funny story, that novel created the political mandate to get rid of all the insane asylums in California
so in California you often have insane people just wandering the streets with no one caring for them, many of them die. Terry A Davis is the best example of such a person, no institutions to help him. You could say that novel killed Terry
*walks towards you*
books are for gay nerds
as neither gay nor a nerd I shall pass
Word of God seems to be intimidating to some.
On the Man Hate thread on LOLCows they were just talking about that movie and A Clockwork Orange the other day, saying now Nurse Ratched was a misogynistic character and how Alex and McMurphy are grotesque villains
'K braindeath.
Shed a tear at the end of that film. I tried to hold it back but I couldn't. Really upset me.
dis looks alri
this wasn't worth posting unless she has a willy (and you know this)
don’t reply to me neek
yeah?
Don’t think so mate
Mental facilities would have stifled Terrys creative output, it was a beautiful tragedy and I’m glad it happened. God bless Terry, the CIA niggers can’t get him now.
yep
bent
Unequivocally true.
western people are weak minded because they turned their back on religion. imagine living a life without meaning
But if I just claim I'm smarter and quote ricky gervais then they can't come back at me
found a 4'6 pornstar
very good
willy poo bum
Pretty accurate analysis for Alex and Ratched but McMurphy was an archetypal hero reminiscent of Greek literature, not a villain.
Insane asylums always sounded like a very Victorian era type thing that seem like they don't exist today.
bet she's a gook
If you don’t worship the old gods, then I pity you

teehee im so empowered :P
get over it stupid incel
No. Got completely immersed in the film and viewed mcmurphy as a mate.
bout to go sicko mode
whats her name?
It’s a little purple but I can tell it’s genuine and I encourage you to keep developing your writing x
but what if you're religious and still feel a lack of meaning in your life
Bring back human sacrifice that's what I say
Can't see the top of his head but he looks like the sort of person who would be turned into a spammable hat picture.
anyone identifying as a hedonist is good as dead in my book.
started watching that Jurassic Park 2: Fallen Kingdom movie earlier
watched it on 1.28x playback speed on VLC and still had to give up halfway through
utter dross - do not watch
that's exactly the opposite of the truth. jesus came for the broken. he took upon their sins as a blood sacrifice, the fulfillment of the foreshadowing given by the jewish tradition of sacrificing lambs to take on the sins of their family.
we are all broken. the difference between the faithful and the rest is that the faithful cast aside their pride and accept forgiveness.
when we refrain from sin, we do so like pigs kept from filth by the barricade of the Law. but a spiritual pig cannot be allowed into heaven, because it is not good enough to refrain from acts of sin, we must also not sin in our thoughts. and then we take pride in not acting upon our sinful thoughts! how laughable. do you really think that you can save yourself like that? you have forgiveness waiting for you and all you have to do it accept it.
i dont know mate im just baiting 2bh

public executions need to come back, might make some of the soft soyboys grow some body hair seeing someone die outside of hollywood movies

>1.28x playback speed on VLC
B+R
can you actually just commit yourself to a mental hospital indefinitely while being free to leave anytime cause you're there 'voluntarily'?
should there not be a strict criteria for something like that to avoid people abusing the system to get free bed and board (even if it comes with some downsides)?
why would you live your life on the assumption that a particular religion is the absolute truth? we have absolutely no experience about anything supernatural/metaphysical, it's pure conjecture.
>look at me, I'm so european. LOOK. I'm a pagan. SEE!! Let's sacrafice some humans and animals for our gods
pleb tier religion. Glad it got wiped out.
