God has nothing to do with this vid, God is a metaphysical lie, a nothingness.

You inegalitarians desire money as you desire inequality between people. Do you think you are inherently superior to others? Is this your idea of freedom, you use and abuse others as a means to further your own ends. You are a cancer.

[AmeriKidz]

@Guevaristas And you are a gullible fool my friend. Please take note of your individuality and realize that it is what is most important in your life as it is to everyone else. I have. No one desires inequalities among us, in your case we simply recognize it.

@AmeriKidz

"Kidz" yes with the mentality of a 5 year old kid. You make a good little parasite, now like a good cappy you can find a fat rat to suck the blood out of

[AmeriKidz]

@Guevaristas Whoa.... touchy touchy I see. You want me to suck the blood out of a rat???? I am a capitalist parasite? I though we were comrades?

[IHeartDenver]

@AmeriKidz Those who do not live by reason cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them. Leave them alone.

[AmeriKidz]

@IHeartDenver Well said my friend.

@Guevaristas

I'm sure you'd have the time to stop by. Unemployment usually has flexible hours. It's good to see NZ tax money being spent so wisely.

[AvidLearner11]

By the way, AmeriKidz, don't feel a need to defend Atlas Shrugged from every... person with access to the internet who only has the time to listen to like half the video and start judging something they've not a clue of. Because this book is better than that, and your wasting your precious time on something completely unworthy. And I'm glad we've a mutual respect for it.

Thanks for posting this! It made me smile!

@Mrflynn45

I'm willing to put in over 40 hours a week working for my employer to earn money that I can later use to buy things my family will need in the future.

Is this what you call evil?

[jcdinform1]

There is quite a difference in meaning between the common, but incorrect bible Quote of: "Money is the root of all Evil",... and the correct Quote: "The LOVE of Money is the root of all evil" - Money is just a Tool of convenience.

[IHeartDenver]

@jcdinform1 1 timothy 6:10 NLV states the following: For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

Evil fucking book.

[jcdinform1]

I have never heard the phrase; "Money is the root of all Evil".

[510shredder]

@Mrflynn45 no it's not.

so you're saying putting in hard work is the root of all evil? i know that's not what you meant, but it's what your statement implies.

[510shredder]

@Guevaristas Perhaps if you didn't speak in straw men, you wouldn't look like such an ignorant tard.

@The2012beliver "hou litle you know"

Well wasn't that fuckin enlightening? Thanks for that, it was spoken like a true genius.
