  2. I do not agree that a man should be permitted to have sex with multiple partners and a woman should not. Say a woman doesnt think of sex in terms of admiration and such, like a good friend of mine, and just has sex with people because they are 'hot'? Sex is a celebration of your values, and that means that a rational, objective person would only want to celebrate those values with someone who understands what that means. As for the knowledge that you gain from many sexual encounters.. thats a moot point. The sex will be good regardless, i assure you. Provided it is had through rational, objective means. The good feelings come not only from the physical aspect, but from the emotional aspect, the fact that you know the person who is possessing you, and that you are possessing someone who is worthy of your love. Just because someone is able to force a woman into sex, doesnt mean they should. Just because a woman is capable of being raped, doesnt mean a man will or wants to rape her. The fact that force is able to be applied is a moot point in the issue, I can get a gun and force anyone to do what I want, but that doesnt mean I want to do that. If you are having fun being promiscuous, I really cant say that an objective female would find you attractive as a person. And to have sex, with anyone, is to have sex with that person. Plus, if a man is able to have sex with many partners, but not a woman, doesnt that mean that there would have to be a supply of mindless women just to fulfill those men's urges? Thats just not right. Double standards are not allowed. What I am saying here, is that the double standard as such is not right. Not the act of being promiscuous. Tell me what you want me to explain further.
  3. Dagny, definately Dagny. Reading her thoughts, for the first time, made my brain scream, "Those are MY thoughts!! In WORDS!!" I had never thought it possible. Atlas Shrugged was my first glimpse into a world that existed, and not just in my own head, and I experienced it all through Dagny's eyes.
  4. I love this site. This summer, Im spending my entire 3 months away from personal interaction with all of the Objectivists I know, but I can come to this site and meander through reading posts and be equally as fulfilled. Thanks for making it, and thanks for making it a success.
  5. Thanks Betsy. In fact, you are incredibly accurate in your depiction of my mental state. I do care for them, but it seems as though I want so much more from them than they are capable of giving me. It is only in those moments when they ask you in all honesty for your personal opinion of their situation.. as a friend, to tell them what you really think, it is in those moments when I want to shout, "Just THINK!!" But they are really good people and I truly respect them for that.
  6. My reaction - complete and utter tears of Joy. About the friendship thing, and maybe I should start my own thread, but I've been grappling with this one for a few months, wondering.. what to do with the long time friends I have now, they are good people.. but hold.. illogical views. I want to be their friend because they are good people, smart, funny, I want to talk to them and keep talking to them and help they realize they just need to take responsibility for their life. Stop trying to evade the law of causality.. and at the same time wondering if nothing I say will ever help. Blah.
  7. Raised Episcopalian. My grandfather was a priest, my Uncle is a priest, my cousin will probably be a priest and on down the line. Hasn't been until recently when someone slapped me with rational questions about religion and faith where i realized my only answer was "umm.. cause i.. believe?" that I realized.. holy shit, its all crap. I dont think I ever want to tell my family though. They would either die, shun me, or send me a whole lot of bibles that I dont want.
