Reid vs Rand on The Patriot Act

[The Good Reverend Roger]

So..  Man, that Patriot Act.  That's some Act, hu?  

Sorry, dude.  Requia has to SHOW ME.

If ya want, I'll split the thread when the mess is over.

I promise to refrain from any accusations of mod abuse if you split the thread right away in this case.

1.  Your promises are worthless and

2.  So is your opinion.

[Adios]

Are you going to split every thread Requia decides to show us all how much smarter than the rest of us it is?

[Phox]

I know Slyph has been reading a lot of Objectivist philosophy lately, and in the thread in question, he suggested that actually Objectivists would find the negligent manslaughter as being "more evil", as the level of "evasion" was greater.

But who are you going to trust, a guy who has been driving himself crazy with Ayn Rand's brainfarts for the past few months and had no reason to take one side over the other, or someone looking to score points in a personal argument?

I missed his post.  And I don't see anything wrong with his argument.  Roger's claim however is that Objectivists believe any act of negligence is the same as attempted murder.  There is not, as far as I can tell, any reason for this claim.

Except that "the same", "as bad", "equivalent", "tantamount", etc. are synonymous?

Unless you're being pedantic about my use of 'the same' I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

Pedantry?  

Roger was saying that Objectivists believe that negligence is a crime tantamount to attempted murder. Short handed in an easily understood way that when a pedantic asshole comes along they could misrepresent it as being one and the same. Everyone but YOU understood what he was saying. Fuck off.

So..  Man, that Patriot Act.  That's some Act, hu?  

FUCK YOU REQUIA DIED FROM THE PATRIOT ACT!

Ok, so you're being pedantic as fuck, because I didn't use the right words for you.

This is like Nixon calling a used-car dealer dishonest.

You should put it in your sig, link included, for posterity.  That's some achievement.

I'd just like to say I have a fuckton of respect for you, solely based on this issue.

Only because you play with them.  It's like a scab, if you keep picking at it, it'll never go away.
