I am always astounded at how some people are so afraid to be alone, they either make up stories, or hallucinate.

You're alone people, there are no ghosts, no matter how important telling stories makes you feel.

So how do these ghosts decide who they will contact or pick on? There have been billions and billions of people who have died, you'd think we'd all be bothered all the time by them. Do they have like a lottery? Do they only contact (or punch...) the worthy? The needy? The gullible? Funny how 99% of the time, those telling the stories are the "believers" and the non-believers never get contacted.....

Autism is really supposed to make you smarter and clear headed, how about showing it?

Send your spirits and gobblins and ghosts and evil creepy things my way.

It's 2009 and some people still *need* to believe in spirits, unreal.

If I visit Lake Disappointment in Western Australia to see if it lives up to its name, will I be disappointed?
Which set of logic, and which batch of reason, should I use to reach a less than self-contradictory conclusion? Of course, if I follow Ayn Rand's disputations, it should be phrased "more than self-contradictory conclusion."

It's reported that Ayn Rand's logic led Gloria on "All In The Family" to contend to Meathead, that since she could not tell the difference amongst the tastes of brand name cola soft-drinks (such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Royal Crown, etc.), that nobody could, and hence, the differences in tastes were paranormal and false. Meathead easily verified his paranormal taste abilities with a high degree of veracity, but then, Objectivism just delivers the run-around relabeling game of labeling any instance of paranormal as normal when it's verified.

Alan Greenspan worshipped Ayn Rand, and understood her uncanny ability to smell money, but his blind belief in Objectivism has resulted in many trillions of dollors lost in a very strong stench of unbridled Capitalism, but many loyal followers just contend that the smell is paranormal, and not really there, like the dead elephant decomposing in the room, that's safely concluded as not there with the optimum-opportunistic box of incomplete logic.

It's funny that you say that, because I was JUST thinking how the economy has gone down the tubes because we HAVEN'T had real capitalism since before WWI.

EXACTLY


All the evils, abuses, and iniquities,
popularly ascribed to businessmen and to capitalism,
were not caused by an unregulated economy or by a free market,
but by government intervention into the economy.

- Ayn Rand 1905-1982 -


I should start a poll to see how many of the kool-aid drinking ghost believers are also believers in socialism and Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy and man-made global warming.... whatever crackpot "cause" comes along, they're in....

Those who are against capitalism and for socialism, basically just want free govt cheese....

(or want to be in power to control the rest of us)

Back in the 70's the loonies were all trying to scare us with "global cooling".... always a "cause" and always a throng of "believers" needing to be led by someone.... anyone....

I would say no. But pure free capitalism, and libertarianism going hand in hand are as close to perfection as you'll ever get. That's a world where no one tells you what to do unless you attempt to harm another person. Aside from that, you're free to do whatever you wish. Total freedom.

Yes. Unbridled Capitalism. But that depends on what one considers "perfect". To me, it's a system that lets me earn up to the limits of my ability. To others, it's a system they can milk for more and more welfare and freebies.

No that does not mean anything goes. There are legit functions of govt to prevent and enforce for example, insider trading and breach of contract and collusion.

The current Chairman of the Federal Reserve has admitted that the Fed caused the Depression of the 30's.... so what is Komrade Obama and Permier Peloisi and the Fed doing? The exact same things Hoover and FDR did, which prolonged the Great Depression. The govt caused this recession, like all previous recessions with their meddling in the economy. The 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was a major cause of this recession. Every congress and president since 77 increased it's power. Basically it enforced quotas on banks to make loans to those who did not meet the lending requirements that worked so well for them in the past.

I gotta go and burn the coal I got in my stocking to keep warm.....




We have tried spending money. We are spending more
than we have ever spent before and it does not work.

... We have never made good on our promises. ...

I say after eight years of this Administration
we have just as much unemployment as when we started.
... and an enormous debt to boot!

Henry Morgenthau Jr 1891-1967
Secretary of the Treasury of the United States
during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Ayn Rand wrote the book "The Virtues of Selfishness," so everybody else had better stop playing with her ideas and toys, or you might come across a picture where Greenspan might show her Dollar-Sign burial wreath $$$

I didn' get the paranormal sensation when Atlas Shrugged, but I sure got it when he passed his excess noble gas, and it made Oberon flinch too!! ! Humans are difficult to understand, even after being outside the enchanted forest for a few decades, and I still have plenty of deja vu too, but knowing that randomness is self-contradictory just gives me another paranormal sense of predestination.

Self-esteem's Nathaniel Branden seems to be lost in the user-illusion, and the "Origins of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicarmeral Mind" by Julian Jaynes explores why all the models have brokedown since uncertainity is the lasting human principle with the paranormal sense of self.

My Social Psychology Professor told me that self-esteem was like Maslow's self-actualization, if your employer catches you doing it on company time, you'll probably get fired.
