One less dicktator suppressing free will. 2011 is not a good year for tyrants. Also yes, if there is a hell he is there. In addition does anyone else find it weird that he also died in the backstory to the game HomeFront in December of 2011?

Lord. There've been a ton of responses since I've left. And I read it in a column in my local newspaper. Wanted to make sure I remembered it right. Anyone else think we should bring it back?

Weren't they about to make this a national holiday, then Pearl Harbor happened and it kinda took a back seat? That's what I've heard.

Good to see another young objectivist on here. I'm just 14. Like yourself, I wouldn't consider myself an expert on the philosophy, and a few tenets I find to be false, but Rand has influenced me a lot as well. Welcome to the site.

If I was just 3 years older I'd definitely vote for this guy. He sounds like he'd repair America the best.

Great! I ordered it on the site to come on nov 8 but it still hasn't arrived? I wonder if it's because they're replacing the title sheet? Haha "story of...self sacrifice".

Ah, I see. It's less of an issue of the baby's lack of rights, which I think the baby does have rights, than the mother having the choice of her child's life or death. I had understood it before as "Kill all babies."

Interesting. One part of objectivism, the fact that the unborn have no rights, I still don't understand. What makes them less than a human? I understand that they're inside their mothers, and that to become born they have to come out, but it's not their job to push themselves out, it's that of the mother. They can't achieve the status of having rights (being born) on their own. At least in human babies, there's probably some animal out there who personally climbs out.

I'm a noob to sites like these, so I don't know how to respond to each of your posts individually so I'll just do one big one. To Ninth Doctor: All things in moderation, yeah. I don't abandon a social life or refuse to have fun, I just don't want to end up a drug addict, and I don't want to date everyone, just maybe like one or two. I'm all for that stuff. And I've heard about this Doctor Who show, what exactly is it about?

To Selene: Private school. Sucky one, delinquent kids, but their parents are rich somehow. I live in North Carolina, just outside of Charlotte.

Good to be here. I just learned about Objectivism a few weeks ago, and I had never heard of it or Ayn Rand or anything until then but all my life I've believed in reason, purpose, individualism, capitalism, and paving your own path to achievement instead of it being handed to you. Only now did I realize I wasn't the only one. And yeah I remember learning that in history. People had to eat their shoes and what not just to survive. Thank God for George Washington. Anyway, I'm a student. In 9th grade. A little younger than most people would expect someone to care about identifying their philosophy and using critical thinking, and all, as opposed to getting high in some secluded room and trying to date every girl in the class. Haha. Is your name Adam or Selene?

Thanksgiving is a typically American holiday. The lavish meal is a symbol of the fact that abundant consumption is the result and reward of production.
