Safety nets include Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, unemployment, social programs including rehab facilities, soup kitchens. In general almost everyone (96%) of Americans (i realize I am not speaking for European countries) have received some form of government assistance in their lifetime: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/201...ort/?mobile=nc (I realize this is in relevance to the stupid Romney '47%' thing). I think there is nothing shameful in it at all. And Tecmos, I have no desire to argue with you about anything. Not because it's you, I just don't really like forum debates. I find that people usually have made up their mind and tend to just prattle on at each other (See RnF). I do enjoy your solo artist writeups, however. Cheers, Tomtee | |||

Well, I suppose if other religions can build belief systems on poorly written fiction the same courtesy should be extended to objectivists.

At least it sounds like you have read/understand parts of the book and got my joke. I kind of figured the guy who was posting about objectivist sex beliefs might have gotten a kick out of it as well, but alas I seem to have struck a nail with him.. it seems the second part of the joke may have been the best part afterall!

No nails struck. I greatly enjoy trading barbs with Rand fans, and I'm sure that's mutual.

Very much so. Rand fans are a deplorable bunch.

I think the term 'safety net' is rather offensive. This isn't an attack on you personally, and I'm not currently using any of the above systems, but the principle remains. The 'nets' I listed are no different than any other insurance... You put into it with the expectation that, should you need it, those funds will be made available to you at a later time.
