Atlas Shrugged Day (1 Viewer)

[alphamale]

The last group discriminated against - the only one not given special privileges - and the one that built western civilization - white males. Would you support one day a year in which all white males go on strike - refuse to work? This poll is for white males only.

Umm no...

I was quite interested when I saw the title of this thread. Imagine my disappointment in seeing what you were suggesting. Frankly I'm a little offended if the lesson you took away from Atlas Shrugged was to go on strike to benefit society...

You misinterpreted what I said - white males should go on strike as a demand for justice for themselves.

Based, of course, on the vast amount of unjustice that white males face on a regular basis. Better, higher paying jobs....really, I don't know how they stand it. I would have revolted long ago if I were as downtrodden as the poor, poor white male.

That's a bastardization of anything Ayn Rand was suggesting. Go on strike for social justice? Atlas Shrugged? You've gotta be kidding me.

Next time you want to invent a new holiday, try to come up with a name that's less diametrically opposed to what it's supposed to represent.

Yep, you have no idea how difficult it is. Just last week I was driving through a black neighborhood and the cops stopped me for no reason, then proceeded to beat me. :lol:

The ones who mostly fit your description are the CEOs, university administrators, cynical unprincipled politicians, liberal/left judges and other white uncle toms who have sold younger white males down the river to make peace with minorities and feminists.

Did I say "social justice"? I don't remember saying that. WMs should temporarily unite in their own individual self-interest.

But it's difficult for blacks too - why, just last year some of them tried to get in the University of Michigan law school - but the school gave the white males extra admission points just for being white males! :lol:

Striking for social justice is clearly what you're advocating. Granted, you have a ...unique view on what social justice is, but the concept is the same.

I don't know about you, but I have a much stronger individual self-interest in receiving a paycheck, than in striking and protesting and looking like an idiot for the sake of an issue that frankly doesn't affect me at all.

Well, what did you expect? You were obviously up to no good. :mrgreen:

I don't attend the University of Michigan law school, so how exactly is it in my self-interest to forego my paycheck to join in your crusade against the deplorable conditions we white males find ourselves in?

Now, see if they were female/minority "CEOs, university administrators, cynical unprincipled politicians, liberal/left judges" selling you down the river, you might have a point. Alas, you don't.

 

[alphamale]

Well, no. Ayn Rand recognized that individuals could freely unite if they desired in a cause of mutual interest - e.g. read the last chapter of Anthem.

I don't know about you, but I have a much stronger individual self-interest in receiving a paycheck, than in striking and protesting and looking like an idiot for the sake of an issue that frankly doesn't affect me at all.

If it doesn't affect you, don't strike. Hopefully, many WMs who have been affected (and there are many) would fill the ranks.

I can't say I blame them. Based off of the incredibly low admission numbers for white males across the entire board of centers of higher education, educated white males are fast becoming an endangered species. Guess that's what happens when they start having to compete. Maybe if they'd shut off the x-box, pull up their pants, and limit their drinking to two nights a week they might do a little better.

Uh, that was pretty incoherent. They have the same melanin levels and the same genitals as me and others, so it's OK if they sell us down the river? The kind of bizarre group-think that made liberal irrationality famous.

If you escaped the discrimination, don't join. Hmmm ... second time I said that ... hope it registers this time ...

Yeah, in the intellectual arena, WMs can't compete - a quick look at world history would show you that!!! :lol:

Point out what part you had difficulty understanding, and I will explain it to you. Or I can go get my seven year-old sister to do it too.

Well, sure. Once they put down everybody else, of course they will excel. Level the playing field and they (well not they, the intelligent ones seem to appreciate the additional resources that minorities and females bring) cry foul. There there poor white male. If blaming your failure on women and minorities makes you feel better, I don't mind.

 

[Kandahar]

This whole thread is ridiculous, not the least of which is the title. Let's give evolution a holiday too; we can call it "Jerry Falwell Day." Or let's celebrate the virtues of the free market and call it "Karl Marx Day." :lol:

If it makes you feel any better I'm generally against affirmative action in government-funded businesses/schools. But your solution and justification is ridiculous, as well as your implication that Ayn Rand would support this nonsense.

 

[alphamale]

There's nothing there to understand - it was just another non-sequitur.

Well, if you understood it, you shouldn't have used the word "incoherent". For the future, that word means incomprehensible. Which is a fancy way of saying you didn't understand it.

Don't give me any "level the playing field" bullshit - the LAST thing minorities and their spokesmen are interested in is a level playing field - they are discriminated in favor of in employment, pay, promotion, layoffs, the military, police and fire departments, loans, scholarships, union apprenticeships, gerrymandered congressional districts, college admissions, professional school admissions, government contracts ... on and on and on. In no way are they "competing" against white males - rather they are cruising through life with a free pass issued by the government.

To a lesser degree, same with females - the Title IX perverse interpretation has wiped out male sports teams in order to set up a kind of "special olympics" for women. Head to head, there's almost no sport in which women wouldn't be clobbered in "level the playing field" against men.

There is no college that practices affirmative action for females. We just happen to be more deserving of attendance than white males.

Got a big problem with women's sports, huh? Don't watch it.
