....... Darrell however this is not a dateing site but if your cute and like Canadians ,  we can talk.

Hi,

By the way, you can email me here: [email protected].  So, how did you hear of this site?  Have you read any Ayn Rand?  What is your name?

Talk soon.

Darrell Cody

I found the site by accident, no doubt between moments surfing porn and tech sites. I thought Anthem was Ayn Rand's most interesting book because I first read it when I was 14. 

When I read Atlas Shrugged at 15 or so I thought it was a good book. Later I decided it was anti-human and misrepresentative of the left's universal altruism. The unfolding of the future has confirmed my viewpoint. 

Both conservative and liberal viewpoints must co-exist in a functioning society. In the frisson between them lies functional social governance - care we can afford to pay for and a business model that does not leverage the future. 

My name is AtheistExtremist 7-2521. 

Thanks!

 Ha!  Cartoon cat!  Perhaps you can set me up on a date with a hot animated lady, like Jessica Rabbit, or the girls from Cool World (a movie in lousy taste, but interesting too.)  Anyone you know like that?  An atheist animated, preferably computer animated young lady between the ages of 18 and 45, likes classical music, Ayn Rand and high positivity people?  But she has to be able to *commit*.  I don't go for the irresponsible types.

My dear pauljohntheskeptic - thanks for the welcome.  What turned you off to Objectivism?  I mean, it's basic message is "use reason" which means 'use your brain', and everything else in Objectivism follows from that quite logically.  It has always rang true to me.  It sure is a useful tool to explain why there are no mystic beings.  

And hey, you've gotta stand for something.  You can't just stand for 'no God'.  People need an ideology, just not a fairy tale one.

What do you think?

Hmm, don't know too many cartoon chicks that do not exist outside of anime and manga (which I am not really big fan). But, most of them are not interested in a cartoon cat biker that hates Monday mornings and tries to figure out how to annoy Odie most of the time.

My problem was her ideas don't fit the world we live in any longer.

Those who claim to follow her as in the Tea Party and right wing conservatives, generally are only picking and choosing from her ideas. They overlook that one of the 1st things that must be discarded is the belief in god(s).

They want the government out of their lives in regard to money and finance but want the government in your life to regulate morals and your personal life.

Hardly the philosophy she advocated.

One of her ideas, "only evil wins in a compromise" assumes that the person who is refusing to do so is the one that is right.

Look where this has taken the US in the last few years.

Ayn Rand also did not grasp the world would become the interlocked economic system that it is today.

Free markets don't really exist as she desired due to corporations that have grown to the point of controlling governments. And governments world wide are not what they were when she developed her philosophy.

This is your introduction thread, so we can talk more about this in a more appropriate OP if you want.

Beyond Saving and Exc are 2 members that have similar views to you. They will no doubt drop by at some point.

I have to go off to work shortly, I run a tax office for one of the major tax prep companies. Thanks to a Congress that can't do their jobs that whole thing is in a mess right now.

Perhaps that was the whole idea.

Anyway, welcome and enjoy the forums.

Ayn never learned how people work, and therefore never saw how flawed her thoughts were on economics and politics. But she meant well... I suppose...

   Harley Fan or not  you should go buy  the The_SoulTaker (anime), I dont own it but I remember it when it aired as a kid. It has this wonderful 'Schizo edge'  to it  that only the Japanese is their butchering of genres can solely seem to manage.

  Hi Darrell

   You know there is someone here who has been dying to come out of her shell (naming no names).  I'd stick with popular culture and work your way up from there

Speaking of which, do you remember the one where there was this website that people would go to at midnight, enter in a name, and this creepy little girl would appear and tell them their was a heavy price for their vengence ? I believe it was called, Hell Girl, or something like that.

There was one that I watched (name eludes me again, damnit) where this young man is working in this like herbal tea shop that is run by a sorceress?  That I enjoyed.

Finally, there was a real wild one (name eludes me  on that one too) where this businessmen is taken hostage by this boatload of mercenaries, his corporation refuses to pay his ransom, and he ends up joining the mercenaries ? I want to say that it was called Napalm something or maybe Black something, shit I don't know.

If any of these ring a bell, I'd appreciate you letting me know.

 Well, have her email me at [email protected], ok?  Just to chat, no expectations.  Thank you!   

Those kicks can be had from this website sometimes when theists get mad and talk of the vengeance of the LORD.

Betrayer ,  . .  Inuyahsa

  Background Plot to those who have no earthly idea who or/are what the Animated Anime of InuYasha (犬夜叉), even was; (Man, you people scare me).

  Attributions to Wikipedia  (I dont know it this is all that tasteful, but it is well-know among toon-heads a short decade back)

  The story begins in Tokyo, Japan (the male gaze), with  a fifteen-year-old  school girl  named Kagome, hey I didn't make up the story, who lives on the grounds of her family's hereditary  Shinto shrine. She is there with her mother, grandfather and her little brother named Sota. When she goes into the well house to retrieve her cat Buyo (the cutest), she falls back unexpectedly and instead of hitting the bottom of the well, however, Kagome continues to fall and is transported back to the Feudal era of Japan's history, back into the well to the Sengoku period. While falling she gives birth to a tainted jewel from her side. The drawn-out tale, really the entire journey is in pursuit of this very magical jewel known as the Shikon Jewel ( the Jewel of the Four Souls). Back in that era, Kagome unseals a half demon trapped by a sacred arrow against a nearby tree, who never did escape before they feel the full brunt mutual betrayal that led to this mess, as another part of the backstory. The half-demon, IS  InuYasha, white haired dog-eared is a friend. He had been sealed to the tree fifty years previously by a priestess named Kikyo,  who also turns out to have been the Kagome's previous incarnation. (,imaginative these animes). Kikyo had requested, upon her death, constituting and through  the act of the enemy, the Jewel of the Four Souls was to be burned with her in her funeral pyre so no one could ever abuse its tremendous power. Their main opponent is Naraku, he was a real piece of work,  a devious and powerful collective, shape-shifting half-demon, lacking any self-control, who manipulated the initial conflict between Kikyo and Inuyasha, ending with Kikyo sealing Inuyasha to the tree. A raven tries to catch away the Jewel, instantly transfiguring it into something else. Bigoted Kagome, While trying to shoo away a gigantic raven demon with one, two, and a third eye. She inadvertently takes bad aim with her bow and hits the magical jewel, with her sacred arrow, according to the tale, shattering it. (Good-natured but the Temperamental teen, is shown once in a dream sequence, where she is taking archery lessons from her former incarnation. Couldn't hurt!) As a direct result, It sends  them on this  extremely long journey, of but a single act. The animated series nemesis / protagonist who was called: Naraku. Naraku slowly gathers shards for himself and acts as a master manipulator, he is pure evil, setting up traps forcing InuYasha and his companions to take Kagome's fragments of the Shikon Jewel, referred to as Shikon Shards .. Eventually, Naraku collects all of the Shikon Shards and reassembles the Jewel into its original and complete form. Although Inuyasha and his allies defeat him, Naraku uses his immeasurable strength and power as the Jewel's owner to wish for Kagome's spirit to be trapped inside it with his own, which would allow Naraku to survive within it in eternal conflict with her. (Never saw the end of the series myself). Yada day del Yada, With InuYasha by her side, Kagome, eventually freed by the blending, wishes for the jewel to be transfigured, thus, erasing Naraku from existence and breaking the cycle of conflict, on two levels. She and Inuyasha are then thrown back to their own time periods and the Well becomes sealed, causing them to lose contact for three months.

  If I get hurt, I accept the pain;  I'll never hurt you intentionally.  ((I NEVER SAID  I WASN'T WRONG))

  Because  of  you . .

 Oh,  There was a considerable love interest, that eventually developed  between  InuYasha and Kagome, for those who never saw it.  I only begun to see it myself. And,  All that to, when you get the spare chance check out the video, must must see YouTube Video, it only takes a minute of your busy time :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWE-zZ9GB6E {www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWE-zZ9GB6E}

  It shows   mainly on but one-half of the coin  !!    Jeremiah is commonly known as the "weeping prophet," You  all should  remember  what the  weeping prophet says about the heart .. "[it's] beyond cure. Who can understand it?"

   It's a long road, getting from here to there . .

Gospel of Saint Matt. (Word of Christ, in red) --

''When the unclean counterfeit spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none.  Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

 
While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”  And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!  For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
