    If you haven't taken the TIME TO READ a single Ayn Rand book... Don't TAKE THE TIME to post a comment in opposition to one of her philosophies. Read and learn before you draw a conclusion. You might be surprised what you learn,

    Personally, I love his charisma and speeches. You don't convince an entire country that genocide is okay without being likable in some way.

    And saving your husband because he has a value fo you is even bigger bs because you could use this argument for every single altruistic thing. "I saved random stranger while I sacrificed my life because I believe that helping strangers even if you have to sacrifice your life has a value"

    For a lady that attracts strong willed individualistic atheists, they seem to be pretty weak and sheep like when then can't even see her bullshit. Typical "Your god is wrong my god is right" idiocy.

    Does unfinished reading count too? The amount of Mary Sues, constanly repeating same theme over and over and over again, and horrible writing style, thats just not worth my time. Her points are pretty pathetic and full of logicalfallacies. "If you sacrifice your husband to save husband of your neighbour, thats altruism" WHAT?! what kinda nonsensical example is that.

    Oh but you can love all people with values considered as well, everybody has love-able aspects, that doesn't mean that makes everything hunky-doory with whatever they do, for example, Hitler, he committed atrocious acts, he deserved to die, but there were good parts of his personality. Love people for what their worth, but don't let that love blind you, its as simple as that.
