Has anybody seen my copy of Ayn Rand's The Virtue of Selfishness? I've got Anthem but I can't find that and We the Living.

I want some cookie dough. Like whoa.

I think I ate the equivalent of about 5 cookies in raw dough the other day. It was yum!

My mom ordered at least five tubs (!!!) from fundrasiers going around where she works and none have come in yet. I can safely say at least one of those will be consumed before any dough ever has the chance to reach the oven.

Isn't chocolate an antioxidant?

Hey there. I disabled comments on that post because I knew if I didn't somebody who read it would start some crap like "but you said this and that's judging people and that's not right" and it would just never end. I'm trying desperately to find my books related to objectivism because that's entirely what I base my arguments on and everybody else doesn't know how to handle it. I'm not sorry for what I said at all because in my mind it makes perfect sense, and nobody was willing to constructively argue with me; they just brought out the personal offenses and the name calling, and that's not what I aimed for at all. That's not constructive, that doesn't help me understand things, and I would rather argue with somebody who can do so in a civil, constructive manner rather than get all bent out of shape and let emotion take over. I've found that I have to be very careful in how I perceive things and how I convey them... unfortunately other people still don't understand that I'm simply relaying to them what I'm perceiving. So if I can ( ... )

It makes perfect sense to me. Objective is the only way to be. Once the argument gets to personal insults you know you've already won. I like to mention that when people do start to get personal, because it really pisses them off. Truth will do that:p Constructive, and objective arguments are key. Anything else is just a bunch of little kids calling eachother stupid heads. If you call someone something back it up with facts:p lol

Let me guess, was the trouble over that stupid political debate? lol

Yep. When people started calling democrats "petty losers" and countering it with logic didn't help because it went in one ear and out the other. Everybody thinks they're right and in their own reality, they are. And nobody's wrong, either -- it entirely depends on your perspective. And not a single one of them have been able to constructively argue against me. Not a one of them. That's a crying shame.
