Description: Part two in a series! Four more questions answered! Exclamation marks! Post-it note: I said I dislike Ayn Rand, but I am currently re-reading Atlas Shrugged, because I felt that I have been misjudging her work, as I haven't read it since high school, when I had more socialist leanings. I will give a detailed review of it from my current philosophy, if people want to hear it. Post-it note: I should point out, to be fair, that gorillas are still quite intelligent, and that it does take intelligence (in some cases) to evade predators.

abbnormalfunctions ::: Favorites No one can be mean enough to Ayn Rand. 07-08-31 20:57:48 __________________________________________________
AtheistAaron ::: Favorites I would agree that fire was the most important discovery made by humanity. Douglas Adams thought so, too - "The secret is to bang the rocks together, guys!" =) 07-08-29 10:21:34 __________________________________________________
munkiiboi ::: Favorites 0zyzzyz0, that's because we discovered how to light FIRE, which allowed us to cook meat and make it easier to chew, hence, our teeth got smaller, and our brains continued to go grow as it was for the last million years or so. some scientists still claim to this day that fire is the most important discovery the humankind ever made! and wheels come close after =) 07-08-29 02:15:48 __________________________________________________
AtheistAaron ::: Favorites Haha, thanks. I was going to dig out my Bible and read from it, then "put away" the Bible after the quote, but I thought that would be too obvious. =) 07-08-28 23:25:37 __________________________________________________
mortusdominus ::: Favorites I see we are in agreement then. I like that line you chose. 07-08-28 22:25:29 __________________________________________________
AtheistAaron ::: Favorites Thanks for the comments, saigokun. =) Yes, taking responsibility for one's lot in life can be frightening, but I think it is quite usually very rewarding. A lot of these "rags to riches" stories - what would have become of them, had they simply said "I can't help it, I'm poor. It's just the way things are. It's God's will, or my genes, or the chemicals in my brain", etc. 07-08-28 15:04:14 __________________________________________________
saigokun ::: Favorites Interesting points you make. A lot of my friends are vegetarians. Hmm, how will bring the bad news to them, haha. You make a very interesting point when you say that in the end we make our own choice and are thus responsible for it. Religious people put the responsibility on an outside source (God) while other do in fact the same by 'blaming' the neurons. 07-08-28 14:59:42 __________________________________________________
0zyzzyz0 ::: Favorites Wow I should've read thru what dfarmer had already said. He and u seem to be so right on top of this. there's a good body of collective knowledge that's getting sahred nicely here. Hmmmm? Could it have anything to do with no raving spiritists responding. %~) 07-08-28 12:07:18 __________________________________________________
AtheistAaron ::: Favorites Yeah, I think I judged her too harshly when I was younger and first read her. I am still a bit offended by her contempt for philosophy, though. I do love my philosophy books. =) 07-08-28 11:51:27 __________________________________________________
