I look at older posts made by me, and I see lots of logic, very well-written, and perfect grammar.

My more recent stuff is a pile of shit.

What's wrong with me?

Morality with atheism... this is what I have.

Basically, those who act morally without any external reason are truly better people than those who act kindly only because they fear punishment or expect a reward.

Basically, I reject the ´carrot´ or ´stick´ model. I simply do things because they are the right things to do.

Am I arrogant to believe I know what is right and what is wrong? Maybe, but those who believe an invisible holy being gives them goodness are even more arrogant.

What sort of morals and value system do you have? it just seems to be the generic Randian utilitarianism which is hardly commendable.


I despise Objectivism and the entire mentality behind Ayn Rand´s writings. I am an utilitarian in that I wish to see resources allocated efficiently and sustain-ably. I believe collective goods should only be spent on those things which the free market cannot provide for in a just manner. Art and culture can be done without many resources and are not necessary, therefore they can be made by people seeking enjoyment or profit, it does not really matter. Health care, on the other hand, is a matter of life, misery, or death and it is not profitable to help those in need, therefore it must be collective.

A Randian would just tell you that those who cannot afford health care deserved to die anyways because they were too stupid to save for such an event or to take care of their own health.

I am not a Randian, I understand human reality and that it is impossible for everyone to be rich, and that there are many good people out there who are simply not good with money.


Now I understand that I come across as a heartless monster, and maybe you are right. After all, I have spent a lot of time around right-wingers who like to spout misanthropic vitriol and I think some of that has rubbed off on me.

Not as base curriculum, but as optional topics.

I seriously hope that you are joking. Maybe if they could dumb it down enough and generate enough examples that are easy to work with, but from the pages I'm looking at this seems like a hassle even to me. And I've got a Math B.S. and I've also independently studied a number of areas, including topology and advanced analysis.


That guy with the anime girl avatar is just trying to troll me. We already had this discussion about quantum physics and I argued exactly what you are arguing right now.

I am in favor of China's internet block. The Chinese people are far too stupid as a whole to make responsible use of information. Their government knows better than to let 1.2 billion ignorant people just do and know whatever they want. Harmony is a hundred times more important to China's well-being than any sort of freedom. If they let them do whatever they want and know whatever they want, the country will fall into chaos and there would be widespread bloodshed (that I don't care about) that would eventually endanger US interests (that I do care about).


God Bless America

I find it unfair that I get called a troll simply because I hold conservative views. I bet that if I came here with outrageous communist nonsense, nobody would even care.

I am not trolling. Why are people so particularly hostile to me?

I support China's web block because democracy creates instability, and China has suffered enough instability already. Order is needed.

Clearly you haven't noticed what's been going on in Egypt/etc.
Yep, definitely still trolling.


I did notice what happened in Egypt. It's awful. The Muslim Brotherhood is going to take over Egypt and al-Qaeda will find a new base of operations there. Mubarak was a key US ally and he provided much-needed stability to Egypt, allowing businesses to grow without worrying about Islamists ruining them. Now with Mubarak gone, there's nobody to keep the order. The Muslim mobs will destroy Egypt. They already looted the museums and are destroying the relics of Ancient Egypt, now they will proceed to purge Egypt of its ancient history and only leave Islamic history. The Muslims must be stopped by all means.

Egypt was not a dictatorship in the full sense of the word. It was a kleptocracy. If they had a real monarch, an emperor, there would be legitimacy. What men in power should do is crush troublemakers very swiftly so that there is no chance for them to topple the nation into chaos. Order is what makes nations prosper, not revolutions.

No, other countries can't follow in America's footsteps and should not attempt to do so. America was chosen by God, and therefore it is successful. What other countries do is irrelevant to me, as long as what they're doing benefits American interests. The US, fortunately, is not very democratic and is easily controlled by enlightened individuals and not the idiot masses. I don't care if the other countries continue to progress or not. We want two things from them: markets and resources. That means we want them to buy our products and to sell us raw materials for cheap or for free if possible.

Their gods were not real. God is real. America is chosen by God. The real God.
That makes her special.

Fuck it, I'll bite. Alkis, what makes you so sure that the god you speak of is the real god, as opposed to all these others?


God is real and the others are not. It doesn't matter how I know, I just know. That's why it's called faith.

When I arrived here, I was a stupid and godless liberal, but now I've seen the light, and once again I am on the True Path.
