She didn’t come up with anything. That point of view has been around forever.

I don’t see where this is a bad thing. Wed be a lot better off if only the rich and smart were left, regardless of race color or religion. Hitler killed off of something you cant control, which is what you are born into. In my opinion, The New money rich usually get where they are thanks to their abilities for the most part (“old money” those who inherited money, THEY can go collectively to hell thank you) And are deserving of it. The poor remain so because, to put in in a simple perspective, they suck…and from a Darwinian clbum perspective, they are better off dead. But there are bleeding hearts out there that insist that CLODS such as them are allowed to have nice things for nothing…

Actually I’m just going to stop there before I go too far off the deep end, but Ill talk to you via TM or something if youd like.

Don’t worry about this thread though, Ill happily keep this thread open though, as we are all welcome to CIVIL opinion.

Ask me on my opinion on Health care!

I really hope this isn’t your honest point of view.

Id kinda have to ban myself if it wasn’t. I choose not to talk about it unless the topic comes up for this exact reason.

Well, I don’t want to get into a big discussion about this, but I want to leave you with one idea. You are born into your clbum and intelligent people are distributed throughout. When most people say “smart” they mean educated and your level of education is partially dependent on the amount of money you can generate.

I think I share your reluctance to debate this on flamebait publicly.

dobnits, I am curious. It was not so long ago, in the thread entitled ”Things that **** you off” that you posted this:

Unwarranted Self-Importance and elitism, especially in conjunction.

It seems to me that your opinion has seen a radical shift. Can you tell us what life changing event precipitated this shift?

Less than 8 months actually. I imagine that congratulations are in order on your good fortune.

I bumume that this wasn’t actually an 8 month process, but that something occurred to change your opinion over a short period of time, and it is simply coming to light now?

I remember being 17 and having no idea how the world works.

the only thing I’m going to say is that the far right has a lot of serious problems with rand’s attitude toward personal freedoms ie drugs, sex, abortions, things like that. The right likes her taxes, the left likes her social issues.

She’s still a deluded psychopath though.

dobs, if you would elaborate your position into something like

then I would definitely agree with you.

But you didn’t. And unfortunately everyone has different life opportunities, and it’s quite unnatural evolution-wise that rich dork with IQ 40 should survive and graduate college instead of a poor genius kid dying somewhere in Bangladesh.

I wouldn’t agree with that, because everyone doesn’t have the same “pole position” at birth. And that is a ridiculous characterization of people on welfare.

Let’s not make this about dobnits.

Ok, rather than something inflammatory or troll-baity, how about a scenario?

A young child grows up in a very poor family. The child is bright, interested and excels in learning environments. The child does not (obviously) have control over their home environment – perhaps it is simply a family without means, perhaps the parents aren’t bright, perhaps there is addiction or illness -whatever the reason, it has resulted in a struggle for basic necessities.

The family grows. Now there are other children, money becomes tighter.

The child, now teen aged, finishes high school, is awarded merit based scholarships to far off universities, but the child has held a job and has been helping to provide basic necessities for the family for some time.

If the child leaves, it will certainly be an act of abandonment and will leave the family in a precarious situation. Something the parents perhaps deserve, but the other children don’t as they are innocent in the situation.

What course of action is recommended? And depending on the choice, what repercussions are “deserved” so to speak.
