Ayn Rand, Atheist

[bobbygnosis]

Ayn Rand, douche.

[redlightmax]

If you want to wind up a libertarian just tell them that the internet came from a government project (DARPA).

[studentofsmith]

@redlightmax That is, of course, a half truth.

I have no problem believing good things can come from government. Even Milton Friedman acknowledged it's hard to spend that much money and not do any good. The question we need to ask ourselves is how much more good the private sector could have done with that money. Like most government apologists you focus on the benefits of government programs while ignoring the opportunity cost.

if you believe in the free market system then you'll have a difficult time being a christian because jesus christ did not like rich capitalist...

he said 'it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of an needle than a rich man to go to heaven'

christianity inspired COMMUNISM...

[Marginalist0]

Haha Burn's hair, clothing and style in this video resemble Ayn Rand's!

Egoïsm is Philosophy

This video and subsequent comments are demonstrations of creatures that still haven't made the step-up to ManWorship.

Galt's Gulch is a Philosopher's refuge; for Egoïsts NOT atavists.

i hate libertarians, some are cool, but fck 98 percent of them

[Joem734]

Yeah, those freedom loving assholes!

[TheVikingNinja]

i don't believe in freedom of religion, capitalism can be ok at times, but for the most part its pretty fked up and primitive. i feel like judeo christianity is the pain killer the super rich allow us to have while they rape us. work has value. and the goal of capitalists is to get as much work for as little value as possible. this in turn causes many problems in society. i kind of believe in eugenics,so i see that capitalism can unofficially do this and the super rich are usually decent stock

[Joem734]

Opposition to capitalism is primitive. Freedom is something that only a small percentage of humans have been able to experience.

People like yourself are in easy positions. Trashing capitalism, while benefiting. Would, for example, the computer you spew your ignorance on have been commissioned without the pursuit of profit? Of course not.

[TheVikingNinja]

i have mixed feelings about it, i like the stories of some rich people, like the guy that started ikea. but there is an argument for a new system that maybe has elements of collectivism, and limited capitalism. freedom is a very ambiguous word. one thing i think about is what male female relationships would be like with out our system of scarcity. if people weren't so financially desperate, it would totally change the dynamics of male female relations. money factors into most marriages.

[Joem734]

Capitalism is quite limited in this country. The regulation is the root of most of the problems. We pretend that drugs, and not the war on drugs, is the problem.

Freedom to do anything to yourself is the freedom i'm discussing. This isn't about anarchy. Protecting 3rd parties is a structure of the government.

Things can't be perfect. Trying to make it so only creates more problems.

Any system run by the government is, on its face, flawed. The system allowed to run itself is moral.

[TheVikingNinja]

i support the war on drugs. there obviously has been problems, but taking steps to hinder drug addiction doesn't seam like a bad idea to me. ''freedom to do anything to yourself'' how does that philosophy relate to abortion? when does the developing human get a self? trying to make things better for people is hardly trying to make things perfect. capitalism is flawed and unsustainable as we see today, things like welfare in this country are there for capitalism, if we never had social programs

[Joem734]

Unsustainable? Laughable. You have no knowledge of economic systems and their history.

And yes, a free country should mean a freedom to do anything to yourself, even killing yourself.

Religion dies in any society that continues the pursuit of intelligence and knowledge. It will be completely dead with time. Even if it takes a couple hundred year...if religious nuts don't destroy us all first.

[TheVikingNinja]

there probably would have been a full on revolution in this country. i think what we are seeing now is some kind of non violent revolution. i could be wrong, but i think faith in religion is circling the drain and people are tired of seeing the super rich have such nice cushy lives will the majority in the world have truely shitty lives.i'm not completely against capitalism, but i think it can now only work with global government, international business has gotten to powerful and must be checked

[dannidandannikins]

@TheVikingNinja " there is an argument for a new system that maybe has elements of collectivism, and limited capitalism"

you mean like the system of today? if you wan't a new system, the only option is Capitalism.

[kberka]

Welcome aboard! You are now a member of the fastest growing non-faith based religion ever created by human kind. New Atheism. Enjoy it! You are not alone.

The Supreme Court has ruled that Atheism must be considered a Religion in order to come under court authority for first amendment protection by the first amendment law. Therefore, presto, Atheism is religion. Even though it is non-faith based religion, it still gets to be religion. The court is the final arbiter. Cheers!!

[XOmniverse]

Wow, where to begin when breaking down your nonsense.

(1) Courts have ruled, repeatedly, that people have the right to have "no religion" or not practice religion at all and that this right is protected by the 1st amendment.

(2) Court decisions have nothing to do with whether or not something is actually a religion. A court could say "2+2=5" but that won't make the statement actually true.

(3) Courts are only the final arbiters when it comes to interpretation of the law, not of truth itself.

[XOmniverse]

To be clear, I do have a problem with some of the "atheist movements" that have been popping up but that doesn't make the concept of atheism itself a religion.

[TheVikingNinja]

i'd like to see some kind of atheist temple where atheists could congregate. hell, why not take advantage of the property tax law.
