Ayn Rand

[Narz]

Any of you guys read her? I read "The Fountainhead", I'd say that was the 2nd best book I've ever read (behind "The Power of One" by Bryce Courtney). I also liked "We The Living", definitely not the most uplifting book but moving, you really get into it.

Her philosophy, Objectivism, really makes alot of sense to me. It seems everyone everwhere these days has just settled for the medicroe life or is living a lie just because its easier.

Anyone else a fan? Or down to discuss/argue?

You admit to being an Ayn Rand fan?

And you posted this right when the Euros are waking up.

Brilliant.

Uh oh, I sense that this post will be the source of much future tragedy....
I will play the role of peaceful mediator: why can't we libs and non-libs agree to disagree?

The Euros are finally waking up? Well, that's good to know.

Ayn Rand was a parody writer. She obviously did read Jack London's The Iron Heel, which had copious ideology (socialism, in this case), rather turgid writing punctuated by philosophical screeds, and stupid names (like Ernest Everhard, gad!) and wrote a parody which took entirely another point of view. When she started to get fanboys, she decided to continue the joke, even taking it to her grave, and it still seems to be going strong.

Self-centered, egotistical *****.
That's what my friend Caitlin told me, and I'll trust her any day o' the week.

Hmm, she might have been cute in her younger days, you never know.

Hot like having a foul temper?

Definitely not hot I'll give you guys that much. Her philosophy is pretty airtight though. I'm curious to hear what arguements the "Euros" (you say it as if they all share one mind ) have against it.

One thing it really made me rethink was Christianity and the idea that man is fundamentally a no-good, sinner who should humble himself before a judging God and go through life meekly, with no pride, turning the other cheek to those who'd like a smack at it.

I would enjoy a serious conversation but if people want to get riled up I'm sure I'll find that amusing as well.

She looks kind of cute in this one, in sort of a psychotic, disturbed, kind of way.
She looks like she might be some kind of goth, kinky chick.

To say otherwise would imply they could think for themselves.
