Danneskjold Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 1) The people who mix up those mini-yogurts with the cream on top, then plain middle, and flavor on the bottom. Why should they get to redistribute wealth?2) Checkers, why should all the pieces be restricted to moving the same amount of squares? Whoever made that game was a fascist. 3) Solid colors, things should not be evenly distributed. Solid colors are the peak of immorality.4) Cells, the process of cell-division (mitosis and meiosis) only serve to keep the stronger cells from surviving and thriving. Instead of letting them grow they keep splitting to make smaller and more tiny cells. This operates much in the same way as anti-trust laws and is clearly immoral. Why punish those who succeed? 5) Rowing (Crew) the sport, everyone has equal standing and no one is permitted to excel for the reason that they might disturb the social order/rowing rhythm.

PalePower Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Jeff, LAWL. Goodness me.- Penguins. Penguins suffocate ambition: how depressing is the prospect of a bird that will never be able to fly, and there's nothing they can do about it? If we killed off all the penguins in the Earth, the quality of life would improve by, like, a lot.- Honey. Manufactured by a droning, android-like society that survives by subjugating the individual to the service of a fat, domineering monarch-tyrant, supporting the production of honey would be like agreeing to do business with Communist Russia.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Jeff,You show how much you still need to learn about Objectivism. For instance, color. You are completely wrong about boycotting solid colors.Objectivists should boycot ALL colors and ALL shades of gray.Black and white are the only colors of any significance. We will not rest until all other colors are blasted from the face of the universe!Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Pross Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) BOYCOTT NOW! Activists: those who latch on to a cause like a terrier to a mailman’s pants. Gay-bashing: Violence against men who love men by those who fear they love men. Affirmative action: Lefty euphemism for ‘no male Caucasians need apply.’Group therapy: Time saver and a drama-in-the-round staged for the entertainment of a professional but bored therapist. Art Deco: Fred Astaire’s natural habitat, surviving to this day in a few urban centers. Hackers: dedicated computer nerds who have no life. Rap: A pounding headache set to a profane street sermon.

Rich Engle Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hey, careful using Fred Astaire's name in vain, although it be true that Gene Kelly could mop up the floor with him even if he were three days into a binger.Moving on, I'd like to add boycotting Leonard Peikoff's hair and clothing consultants.

At least something useful got done. Now you're facing a tuna wrap, an ice tea, and a bunch of a-holes who still say "interface" instead of "talk."

studiodekadent Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 The Nintendo Wii: "Wii" was derived from "we" as in us, the group, etc. Its the console designed to appeal to everyone and bring us all together. Talk about collectivist ideology! A quote: "Nintendo spells "Wii" with two lower-case "i" characters meant to resemble two people standing side by side, representing players gathering together" (see relevant wikipedia article).

Victor Pross Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Victor's are all good ideas.Thanks, Jeff. Another thing to boycott: Abstract painting—but with one regret: I don’t want to take away a mental patient’s therapeutic activities. Messing and mucking about in paints is better than sticking themselves with pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Pross Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Victor; Are you saying Jackson Pollock was a basket case?Hi Chris, Yes, he was a few cards short of a royal flush; emotional and mental problems. But that is well known. Life Magazine—bliss its glossy heart—made him a star—abstract painter du Jour! Ah, you got to love the media and it’s star making power.
