I have a consideration for you, Learn the rules dude.

I have no standard, I am above the law.

Also, it sounded like Rand argued for her views way badly Reminded me of Nietzsche in his work "The Gay Science" who said, something like, the best way to hurt a cause is to argue for it badly. (too lazy to look up the exact quote)

I was kinda thinking that the elves need a hippie professor type character, ya know one like, Hey monsters are people too and they have as much right to exists as us! Lets get along with our fellow creatures, and like, OK so everyone is trying to kill each other over a portal necessary for survival, but man we can at least save two of every species so we can make sure they all survive when we move to the new crib. Oh and don't eat meat and people with different "preference" aren't doing anything wrong. (OK so what if he is gay or has a thing for Furblogs?)

And I guess the opposite of a hippie professor would be like, Every monster we kill today is one less dead innocent tomorrow. Or something like that.

I haven't read Atlas Shrugged, but have heard about it and her, if you excuse the term, "conservative" views.

Conservative is a terrible word to describe Ayn Rand's views. She was a laissez-faire capitalist who had her own subset of quasi-philosophical/economic/political bull that she called "objectivism". She was also narcissistic -.-

Look, some of her views could be argued as "conservative". Also, you'll notice I put "if you'll excuse the term," meaning there is a margin of error and shouldn't fully be taken literally.

She opposed Gays/Rights?Marriage what not, a Conservative view, for the most part anyway.
She ardently endorsed Capitalism (Good for her, Socialism has never worked) or a form of it: Laissez-faire. Again, this is something many Conservatives hold dear, while I honestly believe the Far Left supports Socialism, or similar ideals, over Capitalism, sadly enough.

Yes, she did denounce several prominent Conservatives, such as Ronald Regan, and she wasn't a Conservative, and I never said she was. Some of her views were 'Conservative', that much I'm sure we can agree upon. Also, when I refer to Conservative, I'm meaning a more generalized view, not necessarily political.

Hope this cleared the wind, Ion.

Notice how mine is 8 lines shorter, straight to the point and covers all the major points that you need to know about her, whereas you had to sit around justifying why you called her conservative to the point where you basically threw up what I said anyway. So this was a gigantic waste of space.
Also, for the third time- is your first language not English. I love your unintentionally hilarious metaphors (that would be comparatively less funny if you spoke another language).

DarkNemesis: "Some of Ayn Rand's could be considered 'Conservative'."
Ion: "OMG, why would you say that!!??? How can you say that??!?! It's so *&%^&$^$^& terrible, aaghghhgghg!!!!!"

LIGHTEN UP, ION.

And no, your argument wasn't to the point, actually, for the most part, it was a bunch of BS and bitching.

I've leave with thus:

SOME OF AYN RAND'S COULD BE CONSIDERED CONSERVATIVE

if your too ignorant to see this, well then, I feel sorry for you.

Cheers.
