Randians don't have friends. They have expendable humans they can use to block the rocks others throw at them for being disciples of a psychotic money-grubbing she-ghoul.

Use this form to insult a group of people.
________ don't have friends. They have expendable humans they can use to block the rocks others throw at them for being disciples of a psychotic _________ ___-ghoul.

Ex:
Commie don't have friends. They have expendable humans they can use to block the rocks others throw at them for being disciples of a psychotic power-grubbing he-ghoul.

Christian don't have friends. They have expendable humans they can use to block the rocks others throw at them for being disciples of a psychotic hippie-grubbing he-ghoul.

p.s.: don't know what grubbing means... but anyway,,,

BTW, is Randism becoming more popular? If by Randism you mean Libertarianism, then I think that the answer to that is yes. In my experience, it is seriously competing with traditional conservatism (economically libertarian, socially traditionalist / authoritarian) amongst the young, right-leaning American.

I can't believe it took 12 posts.

I dont think people should die because they dont have enough money for medicine or an expensive surgery, so I favour the sate giving free health care to everybody.

Libertarians think that would be avoided thru charity and donations, but it is bullshit for numerous reasons.

I think they are generally greedy and immoral.

I think they are generally greedy and immoral. By "they," I assume you mean objectivists/Randroids? My GF is Libertarian, and I think a lot of libs are like her: not immoral, just inclined to trust the government too little and businesspeople too much. I think it's a tad naive of her to think human society can exist without anyone in a position of genuine power, but I certainly wouldn't call her evil (as evidenced by my dating her). Objectivism, on the other hand...http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/scared.gif

How do libertarians propose dealing with corporations? I mean if the government almost faded away, Verizon, AT&T, and the cable companies would still own the internet connections to the majority of people's homes. It's not like some individual will have enough money saved up to suddenly build a competing fiber optic network to suddenly start competing with Verizon's FIOS. Large govts grow as the size of corporations grow.
