Is it Wrong to Work for a Public College?
Tric replied to Nacirema's topic in Questions about Objectivism
The schools already exist and you do pay for them. It would be like asking if it is moral to drive on the roads, Or to accept a social security check. -
Have you had to cut people out of your life?
Tric replied to Lazariun's topic in Questions about Objectivism
I personally don't base my friendships on political or philosophic ideals, but this person had a history of it, and I thought he'd shed me from his life just as he did to another friend. Pretty crazy stuff, and hard to really explain on a forum. -

Well, I was mostly using a figure of speech. Misleading for sure. Apologies. Something I forgot to mention was that another one of our good friends, who happens to be an Objectivist, got into it 3 years ago on the same subject. They are no longer friends because of that night when they got into a huge argument. For a second I thought the same thing was happening where he would not associate with me because of my personal convictions. We get along great otherwise, but on economic systems we are opposites. -

I have a friend who is a socialist and we really got into it several days ago. We're all good now, but for a second I thought it could go down that road where we just weren't compatible because of our philosophic ideas.
