Re: Hey, glad to see ya :)
I dig the new server. Still hate the ezBoard style, though. :-)
Glad to hear I'm not jumping in and stomping on community norms. This "MS shill" thing irritates me to no end, though. And especially from marlowe, who is clearly one of *those* people. You know, "The world has nothing to teach me, for I am better than all of you." Look, it's great fun:
Just recently I've reviewed my reasons for rejecting Objectivism all those years ago.
Hehehe. He actually put enough effort into thinking about Objectivism that he has reasons he can review for having rejected it. And to think, I just recognized it as a desperate attempt by the vain to justify their self-love. What are the odds that his reasons were that Ayn Rand didn't actually name him personally in any of her writings?
I'm smart enough that I can manipulate stupid people for my own amusement, and keep them distracted enough that they do less damage.
marlowe, Hitler, Huey Long, Ronald Reagan, Ronald McDonald, that guy down at the used car lot... should I go on? Such eminent company he keeps.
What I want is a solution. Powerlessness sucks.
(Note: The following is not an insult.) Look around you. Try to figure out that you're not the greatest pinnacle of human acheivement. Learn something. Teach someone something. Make the world better, instead of just flushing yourself down your gold-plated navel.
It's no fun being right when you're not the one making decisions.
News flash: maybe there's a reason you're not the one making the decisions.
Ah well. I've probably trashed this thread enough by now. Have you all gone through this with marlowe before? Am I just now discovering a great toy that you've all already played with and put back in the closet?
"An angry fieldmouse." I love it. :-)
