  Anorak News — Authority: 630
  MEET tall glamour model Amazon Eve. She’s 6ft 8inches tall.she is 30 years old. Amazon Eve might not be her real name, but if it is, it is a fine nominative determinism in action.

• Saul Smilansky: Libertarian free will is impossible

  
  Sublime Bloviations — Authority: 135

• Reasonable Enough: Why Reason Does Not Compel Acceptance

  
  DefendingGenesis.org — Authority: 110
  It is COMPLETELY WRONG to say that I think atheists or any other non-Christians would agree with me if they would just open up their eyes and see reason.  I do not believe reason could infect someone [profoundly affect someone] so as to compel them to see my position as truth. I don’t think that at [...]

  Pulp 2.0 — Authority: 421
  I hate the title. (I really do) I like the look of this though. Shot on video with a good eye - inexpensive yet with a lush look. I think it should move faster than it does. 2:21 is 51 seconds too long for a good trailer. See for yourself:
