I finally got around to reading Atlas Shrugged (my good friend Darrell recommended to me) and it really changed my life.

I feel like ....everything i do isnt' appreciated. everything i do for stupid society...society never appreciates me. I'm sick of it.

this book really opened my eyes. I recommend that anyone who loves reading to read this.

As someone who thinks there's actually a respectable place for discussion in the world of Rand's literature and philosophy, I have to say you come off as pretty retarded OP.

Sure, Atlas Shrugged is shit, sure Objectivism is largely a fantasy born by a radical Russian, sure, most of the people who find it are teenagers who feel lonely and oppressed, but none of these are grounds for dismissing it completely, or for treating it without respect.

You come across as somebody who has dismissed it just because of the stigma surrounding it, and your troll is as bad as it is uneducated. I doubt you've read any of the modern non-fiction on Objectivism as a philosophy, and I doubt you have objections to it beyond, "it was made by a crazy russian bitch."

I would love to see a serious thread or some serious discussion every once in a while, and terrible troll attempts like yours don't really help the matter.

Being a soldier is as beneficial to a country as being a farmer.
Which is to say, pretty fucking beneficial, but you don't see farmers getting any medals.

Also, fuck you if you're going to come with dying for your country bullshit. Your country doesn't ask for you to kill, they ask for you to die.

>>everything i do for stupid society...society never appreciates me.

This is true. You should do what you do because it's what you want to do, or because it's worth doing in and of itself (as you see it of course). You should never do something just because it's what "society" - whatever that really is - expects or demands it of you; "society" does not have the right to demand anything of you.
