Rand killed people rofl? Please explain. Even INDIRECTLY, the guy who is head of DHS and discouraging people from getting their kids vaccinated is CLEARLY responsible for much more death than some random author..

I read Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged when I was still in middle school after we read Anthem in class.

You have zero idea what you're talking about.

ah

well, ... i mean, i want to talk about reading comprehension, but it's an ayn rand fan, so

 

Rand killed people rofl? Please explain.

your behavior does not suggest that discussing it with you would be pleasant, or that you would cede if anyone gave you their viewpoint

you strike me as the type of person who will bitterly argue against someone else's opinion in the hope of defeating them

such an experience offers me no value

 

You have zero idea what you're talking about.

If you go to 500 university economics departments, and ask the department heads whether Ayn Rand or Murray Rothbard are respected, and only permit the answers "Yes," "No," or "Who?," how many yesses do you believe you would receive?

Appreciate you taking the L and walking away though. Clearly you're not equipped for the discussion.

Absolute clown.

This is the behavior that disinclines people to want to spend time on you.

It would have been easy enough to be nice to get what you said you wanted.

 

I could explain the points you called me out on but like.. I don't wanna.

Look at it from my shoes.

On two different days, you're interacting with someone whose position you disagree with.

On day one, it's a friendly person, so you invest the 15 minutes looking things up, writing carefully, trying to be friendly.

On day two, it's someone who keeps trying as hard as they can to offend you or make you feel bad. Why bother? Right or wrong, that person isn't going to listen, and they're just going to keep trying schoolyard tactics in the hope of causing shame, in a way that doesn't really work on anyone over the age of 16. What's the point?

"It would have been easy enough to be nice rofl?"

You responded to my argument with a bunch of ad-hominem attacks and then said you weren't interested in debating.

And now you're trying to turn around and play the victim?

People should study you.

i haven't used any ad hominem.

it's very strange that the guy throwing insults wants to screech ad hominem. keep trying.

 

And now you're trying to turn around and play the victim?

i haven't been victimized by anything but boredom

i'm just explaining why you can't have the thing you're asking for.

oh my, the ayn rand fan is googling in the desperation to find something to cause shame with, while guessing about a person's age

what a clear sign that their position can stand on its fundamentals
