@suzianne saidWhen you wake up everyday, do you go out looking for 'help'? Howard Roarke did not. Why so into help?
You're beyond help, man.
"A Socialist is somebody who doesn't have anything, and is ready to divide it up equally among everybody."
You seem to have that mindset when you rise every morning. I guess as a socialist, one can be both on the giving end and on the receiving end at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where is Zahlanzi? Need his input on socialism. I think that he needs to dole out his work product to those who read philosophy all day. Hey, SueAyn.......you need help.
@wajoma saidAJ wants to talk about Roark; what's your take on the "morality" of blowing up a building someone else owns just because it wasn't built exactly the way you designed it?
Can you expand on that suzi bamboozle, what exactly are you refering to?
I am of course claiming that Rand said precisely what she meant. So you've got a hate on Rand, but imprecise language is absolutely not something you can accuse her of.
You however, I can't recall you saying anything of substance since your long winded self indulgent good bye of a year ago, here's your chance.
What in the fark are you talking about?

@averagejoe1 saidThere are about 40M people who are in dire straits in the USA. Let us 'help' them. We are writing about the rest of us.

Note that none of you mention independent and self-reliant. Why? The concepts fly right in the face of Socialists. I do give credit to Marauder who tells us where he is coming from.
@averagejoe1 saidYour definition of a socialist is crap.

sometimes, when someone orgasms a bit too hard saying ayn rand, i remember this clip:

A beautiful mind, the bar scene
There might be better examples in movies where selfishness is a worse strategy than working together, this just is the one that stuck in my mind.
Cooperation has been the driving force of human progress since apes started hunting mammoths. Since they started caring for monkeys with broken legs instead of leaving them to die on their own.
@shavixmir saiddo you think he ever read anything 😀
Your definition of a socialist is crap.
it's obvious from his puerile definitions it's all talking points from Fox News
@averagejoe1 saidNo it doesn’t you simpleton anymore than rape follows egoism, I think you may be thinking of the ID
Ego is bad? Milque toast is better? You say things but do not elaborate.
Greed follows egoism?
@kevcvs57 saidkev bamboozle, Joe is referring to the Pseud Known as Shag Doodys quote, here verbatim:
No it doesn’t you simpleton anymore than rape follows egoism, I think you may be thinking of the ID
"Greed is what follows from egoism."
So when you say 'simpleton' you are directly attributing that to shatmixer. On this we agree. I implore shag doody, for his own sake, return to the single ijit emoji response.
@zahlanzi saidkaka notion (where is he now) used to like floating Nashes' game theory, this is where you come up with a hypothesis then shape the 'game' to back up the hypothesis. By adjusting criteria any result is possible, sorry to ruin your orgasm zahlooney bamboozle.

@shavixmir saidWonder no longer shag doody, in fact there was no reason to even begin to wonder because at the outset I did say I'd select a single point to address and no surprises I selected the easiest.
One wonders why he begins with greed, instead of objectivism and rational human beings.
Probably because greed is indeed a consequence, and easier to deny, than the other points of my post about Rand’s quasi-philosophical babbling.
Yes it was denied.
Yes it was the easiest.
Yes I used the very quotes you provided to do so.
We will move onto other 'points'?? in your post, but as already remarked at the outset, it will be at my leisure.
Don't panic, we will get to your 'Rand was a hypocrite because blah blah (nothing provided by shatmixer)"

@shavixmir saidYes, I should Not have said 'A socialist is somebody who doesn't have anything', and said instead..."People who live under Socialism don't have anything..." If I am incorrect, then Maybe you fellers have different degrees of Socialism. The Socialists, who will always have more than those who live under them in a socialist country, will feed the masses and make it where they have access to transportation and food. They will not provide clothing, as everyone pretty-much already has what they need.
Your definition of a socialist is crap.
@zahlanzi saidCooperation? Like if some guys in town become doctors, some auto mechanics, some grow and sell chicken eggs, butchers, pool boy at the swimming pool..........

So they indeed 'cooperate' day in and day out to provide their specialty. The more service or product they provide, the more payments of money (simply a measuring device) are made by one citizen to another.
So I like your reference that the inhabitants are working together. They do it in this town and in NYC.
So what is your point?
So little time.
@zahlanzi saidUpon reading you vulgarism above, I predict that Sonhouse will NEVER speak to you because he hates the Pssy vulgarism, etc, of Trump.

You are Trump! Of course Sonhouse, as you know, is quite vulgar,, so he is Trump too.
A great example of a post which evidences the confusion in the Not-beautiful minds of.......uhhh.....well...people like y'all. (youguys)
@zahlanzi saidPS. I thoroughly enjoyed the Nash Youtube,,,,may watch the move right after I re-see The Imitation Game. Any oter suggestions of themes of this nature?

@zahlanzi saidIt is reasonable and logical that I might see a FOX news clip that reports that the judge threw Hunter and his lawyers out of her courtroom.
do you think he ever read anything 😀
it's obvious from his puerile definitions it's all talking points from Fox News
So, I would rush to my Macbook Air and put the news on the debate forum. It is true news. The truth.
So should I suspect that you would say 'that doggone AvJoe, watching and repeating FOX news on the Forum! Dadgum him!", when I am just sahying that I saw this on the news? I don't get th knee jerk reactions of you fellers.
Tell us, when you post a news story, have we ever made a deal out of your source? It is a story in the news.
Sueayn is another one who wrestles with this seeming anomoly. What is the deal?
