Crap. Somebody got into the  Rand again. . . I  Kant understand it. I thought I told them to Locke that stuff up. . .

Really, I hate Hageling about philosophy, but Rand really Hobbles our society. The Marx she leaves are irreparable. It's like a Plato fish gone bad. . .

Yes, you are all being PUNished. ;)

All philosopher puns aside, objectivism is messed up. It's root is essentially selfishness; the elevation of the self beyond all sense of familial or community ties, and all sense of a true, transcendent good. And practically, what you expounded (which might even be a little farther than objectivism) doesn't work out unless you're the strongest. Don't want to be told what to do? Become a god, or else a move to another planet and become a hermit. Otherwise,  get used to it - you owe legitimate duties to other people; duties PRIOR to your consent.

Also, Kilk = evil.

Communism would work if someone did it right for once...

Well, there would still be problems. Why bother working hard if your neighbour who barely does anything gets the same pay? You'd need a more moderate, socialist government that still rewards effort and intelligence.

OK, if EVERYONE did it right.

No it wouldn't. Because I refuse under any circumstances to be equal to anyone with me or them earning the right to be called equals. At least in the way of finace.

I am not objectivist by any means. In fact, it is hard to say what I really am. I don't actually care because in truth I change my political opinions to suit me best in any situation.

So ungatt... If i went round your old grandma's house and stole all her stuff that would be totally a-ok, right? Because she totally couldn't defend her stuff, right?

Objectivism is the worst

That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is people who hide behind the government are scum. If they use it to further their goals they are parasites. If they lost the game, then well, they lost the game.

[Krowdon]

Y'all made me lose the game.

Aw, dang.
