Do men like to be hit on?

^^^^ I never could finish the book but I did see the movie and her point is a lot more clear in it. It could easily be smeared this way just as anything capitalist is twisted to seem evil. The movie ends with the country's most wealthy and successful man burning everything he created and disappearing, leaving a sign that says "left it how I found it." it's actually a utopian idea and can't even happen. But if everyone worried only about bettering themselves and no one else, we would all be better off. Something like that. That's also VERY controversial and I wouldn't expect everyone to agree right off the bat, but don't dismiss it as flawed right off just because it's not the norm. Open your mind a little lol

Gee, I wonder why everything capitalist is smeared as evil. Poor capitalism...I feel bad its followers give it a bad rep. Its flawed because its flawed, not capitalism but her ethics. She does not NEED to destroy altruism to sell capitalism but tries to anyway. :shudder: You don't need her to sell it, you don't WANT her to sell it she is an anti-social.

I'm reminded of Dawkins fanatics sometimes.

I give me a break. Even the word profit is profanity to anti-capitalists nowadays. They are demonized for trying to maximize profits. Profit is what has to be made to grow and to create jobs. SOME capitalists perhaps give capitalism a bad name. But ALL anti-capitalists give democrats a bad name.

So the wall street guys who exploited a financial tool that they pretty well knew was going to collapse the market and hurt people who had nothing nor wanted anything to do with their casinon games....those guys are good capitalists? No one has any issue with people "bettering" themselves...god even Marx himself say's if one works more one should get more, and that's the father of socialism. When you "better" yourself by swindling the system, just because it isn't technically illegal doesn't make it right and in the end it destabilizes society. Capitalism left unchecked will eventually destablize a society, as does socialism when it turns into communism. I would argue, and most people would agree with me at this poitn, that something in our market has gotten out of hand. If we don't check the excesse's now then eventually something so bad will go down that we'll pendulum right over into communism. Put a check on the market now and we might save our free market system. Let it tank the economy again, which it will now and with much shorter durations between collapses, and we're gonna wake up under martial law one day.

lulz

Well depends on what you or they mean by greed (usually its different than her definition) but yes.

She argues that morals derive from self-interest as does integrity etc. Something like that. Blah.

You didn't understand what I wrote apparently. I'm talking about Ayn, not capitalism. I wasn't being sarcastic when I said poor capitalism.
