  • Clearly you haven’t actually read anything by her. And if you did you didn’t understand any of it.

    Throughout The Fountain Head and Atlas Shrugged there are themes of taking responsibility for the power one wields with their rational self interest. As in providing for the people working under someone in power.

    I would assume you don’t like Ayn Rand because you heard that right wingers like her or because she was simply Russian. Both reasons are ignorant and irritating.














  • Ya. That black server fan in the frig is very common for the model of frig…also the little white resistance sensor on the coil tends to fall off of the tube sometimes causing it to defrost poorly. I like to swap them out when I’m doing the fan as a prophylactic.

    The reason they use that fan is because it’s super quiet and voltage can be regulated to it for different spin speeds which I turn is supposed to save energy.

    The issue with the fan in and of itself is that it’s inherently an aftermarket fan produced by an aftermarket manufacturer for GE. It’s just junk.


  • I just want to start off by saying that your opinion is valid and it’s not even necessarily wrong. So don’t listen to anybody trying to disparage you on this.

    If we are to allow billionaires to exist, they should take considerably more responsibility for the power that they wield and they of course should be taxed fairly in accordance to their income.

    Also, lobbying should just be downright illegal. Which it is borderline is anyway.


  • I’ve often said we don’t need billionaires. That when one reaches that milestone anything above $999,999,999 should be taken as taxes from that person.

    When I say this people often become defensive saying that the government shouldn’t be able to dictate how much wealth one person can accumulate. (It also happens that many of these people are prolife but that’s neither here nor there.) Often times comparing this action to communism which of course it isn’t.

    The issue of course is that many people don’t understand what a billion of anything is. The human brain can’t comprehend such massive numbers. But nevertheless, there are people that are approaching the trillion dollar mark a number even further removed from a billion by several magnitudes.

    Should there be billionaires. Probably not… What do you think?


  • So the article or at least the title is stating that she’s raising her rapists baby. I understood the title to be derogatory towards the child like it’s some kind of burden to raise your child. Which in many senses it can be. But it’s not the child’s fault, especially since it’s already born that it was conceived during a rape. That child shouldn’t be held responsible for that event. That’s what I meant.

    I’m certainly not advocating against abortion, nor am I stating that a fetus is a human.

    Granted it has the potential for life or to become a human being at some point. But other than that I don’t see how you could have taken my statement to mean what you said it does.
