We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.

I think this was written by Ayn Rand, in the 1920's .....and I think she was onto something :D

"Notice how they�ll accept anything except a man who stands alone. They recognize him at once . . . . There�s a special, insidious kind of hatred for him. They forgive criminals. They admire dictators. Crime and violence are a tie. A form of mutual dependence. They need ties. They�ve got to force their miserable little personalities on every single person they meet. The independent man kills them�because they don�t exist within him and that�s the only form of existence they know. Notice the malignant kind of resentment against any idea that propounds independence. Notice the malice toward an independent man."

Either is fine. Whatever you need to reconcile the cognitive dissonance from which you are clearly suffering in regards to your stereotypical expectations.

-_-

I certainly thought better of you than that, though.

Oh, and in case you didn't know...

"Shenequia or Shaniqua in African lango means God is Gracious ..also an Indian name meaning Beautiful or Beautiful spirit"

Perfectly fine with me.

The great thing about being me, is that I'm not really a stereotype.

This means I can stereotype OTHERS and never suffer that "double-edged sword" of having stereotype used against me.

Whoa...whoa...I'm just commenting that it's associated with a stereotype, with origins in another realm. I am not embracing anything.

Let's be very clear.

Phonetically, it's harsh because of the white gaze upon it. Only your names are aurally pleasing to the ear, in your collective opinion. That is what I am discounting. White is not necessarily right just because you say so. Urban, ghetto, hood....all things labeled by whites to reduce others to subordination in name and personal characteristics. Very hard for you to embrace names not of English, Scottish, Danish, French, etc. origin. They are all inherently wrong, for whatever reason you all have decided.

That's not my business, it's just comical.

Now, the fact that those using these names in greatest frequency may tend to fit that particular model..... well, :/

PIERRE WRITES SCOTT A CHEQUE - What/Where is SURETY?

LIABLE = SURETY!

Ok...so I have Pierre Daoust's SURETY that he can pay me through the trustee (bank), so I ENDORSE that SURETY, (Signature)...

Now, look at the $20 Bill... 2 signatures, and a Bank as a TRUSTEE...

So now you have 3 of the SAME THINGS, DON'T WE?

BIRTH CERTIFICATE TWENTY DOLLAR BILL CHEQUE FROM PIERRE TO SCOTT

�You have been called selfish for the courage of acting on your own judgement and bearing sole responsibility for your own life. You have been called arrogant for your independent mind. You have been called cruel for your unyielding integrity. You have been calle anti social for the vision that made you venture upon undiscovered roads.�

Pete Daoust

:D

�So you think that money is the root of all evil? [...] Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?�

Pete Daoust

Oppsss.....

�If the rest of them can survive only by destroying us, then why should we wish them to survive? . . . Nothing can make it moral to destroy the best. One can't be punished for being good. One can't be penalized for ability.�

Pete Daoust

Like this one, what the fuck is she saying there ? ...... :-o

�The fortune my spirit is not to be blown into coins of brass and flung to the winds as alms for the poor of the spirit. I guard my treasures: my thought, my will, my freedom. And the greatest of these is freedom.�

Pete Daoust

What about this one ? .... :D

�It's good to suffer. Dont complain. Bear, bow, accept - and be grateful that God has made you suffer. For this makes you better than the people who are laughing and happy.� - Ayn Rand

LaNi Black

nah.

Pretty sure that is a character dialogue quote. If she'd written that, and meant it, she'd have the foresight to kill herself immediately after.

They are equally sensible acts according to her philosophy. In that, they're actually not.

Just, no.

�It's good to suffer. Dont complain. Bear, bow, accept - and be grateful that God has made you suffer. For this makes you better than the people who are laughing and happy.� - Ayn Rand

and she follows with this... :D

�I am not the means to any end others may wish to accomplish. I am not a tool for their use. I am not a servant of their needs. I am not a bandage for their wounds, I am not a sacrifice on their altars.� - Ayn Rand

Something seems to be fucked up there, NO ? :D

Ceit Butler

It's from The Fountainhead: "It's good to suffer. Don't complain. Bear, bow, accept - and be grateful God has made you suffer. For this makes you better than the people who are laughing and happy. If you don't understand this, don't try to understand. Everything bad comes from the mind, because the mind asks too many questions. It is blessed to believe, not to understand. So if you didn't get passing grades, be glad of it. It means that you are better than the smart boys who think too much and too easily." -Ellsworth Toohey

Not representative of her personal opinion, but a character in the book described as: "Ellsworth Monkton Toohey, who writes a popular art criticism column, is Roark's antagonist. Toohey is Rand's personification of evil, the most active and self-aware villain in any of her novels"

LaNi Black

I KNEW IT WAS ELLSWORTH!!!!! LOL

THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!! :D

"LaNi Black I do not know where this quote is from exactly, but it sounds like dialogue from a speech possibly delivered by Ellsworth Toohey.

But, when you study someone....their life, their philosophy, their word....and develop an intimate connection with that identity, you know when words are taken out of context, or mistakenly misinterpreted.

I've been her student a long time now....

�Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward, an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of a negative, by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction. The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is fear.� - Ayn Rand
