China:
You have two cows.
You shoot one to whip the other one in line.

I read The Fountainhead about three weeks ago, finished Atlas Shrugged last week. That "life changing moment" happened after the Fountainhead, and AS reinforced it.

Sidekick/Love interest (Psshaw, don't we all wish)

18, and 19 on the 18th.

Michael Crichton. If I pick up one of his books, I cannot put it down.

NOTE: I suppose this means that God is not perfect. Why would he regret doing something, unless he believes it was a mistake? And if he made a mistake, he therefore could not be perfect, could he? Of course, one might argue that committing (and later regretting) that mistake was all part of the Lord's perfect plan. But, then, some people will do anything for a laugh.
He also becomes 'sad' after murdering the entire human race in the flood of Noah.
That must have been awkward.."Sorry about that guys..Guess I just lost it there for a minute.."
-
It's not explained in the Bible, but I believe that God can't cook his own dinner because he's too busy plotting his next wave of murders.
His next course of dinner, you mean.

US Corporation (circa 2008):
You have two cows.
You loan one cow to a neighbor who can't feed it. The cow starves to death.
You ask the government for another cow.

*** One thing he pointed out struck me: he claimed that the Great Depression was caused largely by the raising of tariffs by Hoover - a mercantilist approach to the economy - which stopped the market from correcting itself through the flow of imports and exports.
I believe he also raised the income tax level on the wealthiest to 50% overnight.
-
Yeah, but I don't remember JP being as irritating, although that may be because of my age.
Either way, I don't get what he thinks he's doing when he relies on people creating wealth the same way the government does. He's pretty much saying "Stop giving me money."
-
About halfway, yes.
-
Tear down the Sistine Chapel! Wealth whores!
LOL, I laughed at loud at that.
And this pope is incredibly and annoyingly altruistic.
-
Interestingly enough though, the concept of altruistic self-sacrifice couldn't be any more concrete. We should all give our organs out of charity, not look at it as something that has value to someone else.
-
I actually forgot to get a stamp for my app before the deadline, but I actually don't feel like I missed on anything. I may have written in "John Galt" if I had voted, though.

If that is all it takes to become governor of Alaska, perhaps you should move there and run against her in the next election. As charming and insightful as you are, you should win in a landslide. The state could then boast of having elected stupid governors in successive elections.
The woman has brains, she just got a sh*tty treatment by the press and the McCain campaign. She's not dumb, it's an image issue coupled with the fact that she has never been on the national stage.
Someone should slip her a copy of TF or AS though.
-
I think the labor standard is a much better objective measure about the value of money. Whenever I make a decision about buying something, I think about it in terms of how many hours I had to afford it.
Although I realize the difference here, yes, money should have some actual value than just being a piece of paper taped to the end of a gun.

And Jack Nicholson will be Francesco...
He could be President Thompson.

It reminds me of an Ayn Rand quote: "It is futile to fight against, when one does not know what one is fighting for."
You hit the nail on the head though, the problem with the "new atheists" is that they don't understand that not only is religion bad because it promotes the existence of that which does not exist, but it uses that as a reason for followers to sacrifice themselves.
-
I may pitch this idea to them and let them have it, but they need to convert the Facebook group into a fan page. Then they can send updates (that don't come as annoying messages) to users and work it as a fundraising tool, and to spread updates, etc.
-
Hmmm, that's a tough one. If democrats count as animals I think I would have to go with the Dean Scream. If not, I would say a hyena laugh.
YEAAARRHHHHH!
-
An interesting thought-
Christians created Jesus as a messiah in order to try and bring the concept of god to an understandable form.
-
If Brad Pitt wants a role, he would make a perfect Ragnar Danneskjöld.
Also, what about Chris Cooper as Atkson? Or Stadler?
-
Dance pop. Ace of Base, Britney Spears, and Katy Perry are my faves.
I've been a fan of Tool for a long timeTakes one to know one, eh?
I kid, I kid, I just couldn't resist.
-
This reminds me of what happened to Britney Spears. God I love that woman.
Well, I know they're not the same woman, but still
History's Greatest Industrialist

Mehh, I like Tesla better. Although in fairness, he wasn't an industrialist.
