rank | Thu Nov 30 11:55:28 2017 The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it. ~Ayn Rand |
jergul

Hot Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 12:10:58 2017 ERR... She wasn't quite that old. I don't think so anyway. So much for serious quotes. |
jergul
rank | Thu Nov 30 12:13:24 2017 He was before his time. |
Hot Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 12:36:09 2017 I don't doubt that, but I seriously doubt he had Ayn Rand, in particular, when he penned that line. BTW, the line is, "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." And it was not penned by Shakespeare. |
Hot Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 12:40:43 2017 The origin comes from, "The Mourning Bride, by William Congreve." I looked it up. |
jergul
rank | Thu Nov 30 13:18:54 2017 Sounded like Shakespeare. But good to know. |
jergul
rank | Thu Nov 30 13:19:44 2017 You may have missed it, but I don't think anyone here thinks any quote from Rand is serious. A former communist and all that. Well, you know. |
jergul
rank | Thu Nov 30 13:21:19 2017 Also, an illegal alien. Her student visa expired and she was only granted amnesty through marriage. |
Cold Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 13:48:40 2017 How dare you. |
Hot Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 13:59:40 2017 She was never a communist. If you knew the first thing about her or if you had read ***ANY*** of her writings you would know that. |
Hot Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 14:12:27 2017 A basic premise of her philodophy: "I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I shall never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." ~John Galt, A character in Ayn and's novel, 'Atlas Shrugged'. |
Hot Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 14:13:12 2017 *-philosophy |
jergul
rank | Thu Nov 30 15:52:13 2017 Let me rephrase. A Student of Marxism. |
jergul
rank | Thu Nov 30 15:53:03 2017 "philodophy" That sounded about right. I will use it from now on when discussing rand's philodophy. |
Hot Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 17:05:35 2017 She knew Marxism very well, she lived under it. If you want to understand what she went through may I suggest that you read her novel, 'We The Living'? It is about a young girl before and after the revolution and her trials and tribulations. She is tied up with two men. She loves an aristocrat and she uses a member of the communist party. It is an interesting read. |
Hot Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 17:07:52 2017 BTW, if you use the "word" philodophy it real;y does not exist so that would negate everything you have to say about her philosophy. |
Hot Rod
rank | Thu Nov 30 17:23:12 2017 *-really |
jergul
rank | Thu Nov 30 18:55:00 2017 Everything I have to say about her philodophy* Fixed! |
Cthulhu
rank | Thu Nov 30 21:21:17 2017 When the lights are off all women are fair -William Shakespeare |
Cthulhu
rank | Thu Nov 30 21:22:34 2017 Thu Nov 30 05:19:44 You may have missed it, but I don't think anyone here thinks any quote from Rand is serious. A former communist and all that. Well, you know' Yay Ad Hominem? What's wrong with the quote listed? Seems true to me. |
Cthulhu
rank | Thu Nov 30 21:24:51 2017 She was never a communist. If you knew the first thing about her or if you had read ***ANY*** of her writings you would know that.' You need to learn when you are being baited. She was born in Russia, so idiots that don't know when the revolution occurred assume she's communist. |
jergul
rank | Thu Nov 30 23:41:52 2017 Cthulhu She was educated at communist post secondary institutions and did study Marxism. A adhom only if you despise communism more than say the Chicago school of economics. |
Cthulhu
rank | Thu Nov 30 23:59:15 2017 Uh, if the reason she isn't being listened is because of studying Marxism and not because what she is saying is a crock of shit, then yes, it is Ad Hominem. Attacking her instead of what she is saying is Ad Hominem |
jergul
rank | Fri Dec 01 01:04:43 2017 The reason she is not worth listening to is because she was a giant vagina. Just ask around. |
jergul
rank | Fri Dec 01 01:06:08 2017 My first point related to it being open to debate if calling someone a communist is an insult or not. I did not call a chicago school freakonomist for example / which is undoubtably a pure insult. |
