I might not be the real fictional Hank Rearden but we both work in a steel mill and our philosopy is the same.

If your philosophy were the same, your writing would not exhibit such sloppiness.

If you understood the nature of values and virtues within the framework of Objectivism, you would recognize that clear writing is a virtue through which one attains the value of having communicated a message.

A central tenet of your allegedly adopted philosophy is that one does not obtain values without exercising the correct virtues. You can't just slop together some words and expect your message to be communicated.

well have you ever read Rands earlier work her writing was horrible but still her message was clear. So are you saying that becasue one can't spell their message must be wrong. I just write fast and don't bother spell checking because I really don't care what others think of it.

Oh god. Let me set you guys straight. Ayn Rand = dirtry non-philosophical ho.

BTW: Saying you don't like Communism and beyotching about it doesn't mean that you are a Philosopher.

And Anthem Sucks.

All of Ayn Rand's writing sucks, no matter when it was written.

Remember that when you are quoting you should use the quotation mark symbol, which looks like this " . Also, give credit to the person you are quoting. So your post should have looked as follows - "Communism is a philosophy of death and nothin more. Plus Carl Marx was a douche bag thats right he was one real big bag of douche." - Ayn Rand

Indeed, that's her whole "Philosophy". Here, I've got one too - Ayn Rand is a crappy writer. She's such a joke that she sent me a free copy of The Fountainhead because I wrote an essay about Anthem. Bad essay, but I'm sure this book they sent me is worse.
