Occupy Wall Street?

[ScatMan]

If you start with a broken premise you end up with a broken conclusion/result ( garbage in = garbage out) . Ayn Rand did this.

ok, that's your opinion. but like i said earlier; i don't want to hijack this thread with an ayn rand discussion. if want to keep talking about her, you can pm me.

By 'drowned' I mean dead, d.o.a., just like Rand's attempts, literally, to justify the morality of greed selfishness and avarice. This was just an extension of the metaphor presented to me. If the idea is a bad one then throw it out.

do you realize you're the only one trying to have a conversation about her ethics? why? it's way off topic. you keep bring it up to me despite the fact that i didn't ask your opinion and it's totally irrelevant to the thread.

My ( studied) conclusions are valid about her writing and her politics and are supported by philosophers economists and ethicists. Do you r own research.

and what conclusions did you come to about her politics, specifically?

"philosophers economists and ethicists" have many different points of view, it doesn't make them correct, they're simply making their case. the difference between what philosophers economists and ethicists do, and what you do, is that they have a dialog, a structured argument explaining and defending their conclusions. you on the other hand... "Do you r own research."[sic] won't be winning any valid arguments like this.

I did not bring up Ayn Rand. JD did, and asked what was wrong with her [theories]

*yawn. you're wrong again.

i brought her up first: i linked her papers 'man's rights' and 'the nature of government'.

followed by you irrelevantly blurting out "Ayn Rand was a complete degenerate sociopath. here are some 'fun' quotes from her"

by the way, NONE of those "fun quotes" came from the two papers i linked.

Given her skill set, following her advice, is exactly like following the advice of LRon Hubbard on religion. Are you a scientologist?

come on dude! stay on topic.

Is this your usual reaction to a conversation where your belief system is challenged? stereotyping, name-calling then quitting?
I guess denial is not a river in Egypt

My belief system isnt challenged. Y would it be? Face palm. Hippys like urself that want the rich to suffer for thier hard work (gasp capitalism) annoy me and I dont want to get banned for having a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

I believe now and will forever that hard work will get you some where and no work equals no pay. Some people protesting the rich cause they dont got the testicular fortitude to work hard aint gonna change that

Im stepping out cause this thread is uber political and im NOT getting banned for arguing with hippys. If u think that is directed tword u then ur probly a hippy.

Just remember those that want the rich to pay more, when is the last time u got a job from a poor person?

Wow an admission of having no brains but have guns to back him up......that's a death threat...

Must be a hillbilly calling an intelligent person a hippy.

Hippy Caye let's go monster FKer or go home....o o that was what you wanted right? just go home already...This thread needs intelligence not your guns.

I'm not defending that other guys viewpoint, but that was a metaphor not him literally talking about weapons.

I think you got that metaphor backwards, and there was no talk of actual guns involved in that statement.

Must be a hillbilly calling an intelligent person a hippy.

I could say the same

For one claiming to have one you sure got this one wrong

Must be a hillbilly calling an intelligent person a hippy.

Just cause you agree with the 'hippy' that makes the other one a hillbilly?

Hippy Caye let's go monster FKer or go home....o o that was what you wanted right? just go home already...This thread needs intelligence not your guns.

Or your pointless post that added nothing to the thread's purpose

Naah you guys got it wrong. He's a gun packing nut case. However I'm glad lots of folks can spell metaphor. Have a nice weekend everyone.....

You're just proving his case. What he said was:

I dont want to get banned for having a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

Most people don't use firearms in a "battle of wits", and you are proving just how unarmed (with WITS )you are.

one can choke on metaphors, so here's a couple, take them to heart.

No one is as weird as they think they are.
Everyone is weirder than others think they are.

One fourth of the people of the world are against everything 100% of the time.

Ignorance is like dirt…it got all over everyone when we were created. Thank God some of us learned how to bathe!
