"It's refreshing to see you finally admit your childishness." You appear to have "misconstrued" my remarks. Would you like me to parse the paragraph for you so that you can understand it?! Just let me know! "Denouncing and calling someone evil (as both you and Rand have done) because they do not conform to your arbitrarily derived moral construct is to use force." Firstly, I have never called someone evil because they did not conform. And secondly, speaking an opinion about someone or something is not using force. And thirdly, it is rational and right to impose force on others when it is necessary as a retaliatory measure to preserve rights and freedoms. "Again you (and Rand) try to sneak the move from personal subjectively derived purpose to imposing moral obligations onto others through the back door" Your assertion does not relate to anything you have demonstrated. Indeed, it is bit of contrived nonsense unrelated to anything in my posts. More evidence that you are living in STUPID LAND! "<<<So are you an Objectivist yourself?>>> ????" I almost missed seeing this seemingly meaningless blurb at page bottom. If you are wondering can I (or will I) open any doors for you--the answer is, NO. Furthermore, I find that my ideas are too expansive to be pigeon-holed into any one box. However, I do think her ideas are mostly praiseworthy. Wikipedia describes Objectivism, thusly: "Objectivism holds that reality exists independent of consciousness; that individual persons are in direct contact with reality through sensory perception; that human beings can gain objective knowledge from perception through the process of concept formation and inductive and deductive logic; that the proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness or rational self-interest;..." I think this is the most logical view of the matter at this point in time. But I am open to changing my mind. <<<So are you a toy or a pet yourself?>>> ????
