I heard Atlas Shrugged is a terrible story, AND a terrible movie.
Is this true y/n?

Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln
i know a girl who paid a service she found online to have a couple of essays written for her
one of them was pretty decent but the other was basically a summary of a book review that was also the only reference
Yeah I'm not at my work PC Ori but it seems a damn solid article to me, and I mean that in the sense that I wouldn't bat an eyelid if I'd actually stumbled across it on the site
The only thing I'll say is that the latter half somehow reads better than the intro to me, and I think it's a pacing issue; perfectly coherent, but there's something comparatively bland about the statement period statement period approach. Of course I can see the problem with trying to fit something like that into the tiny sample size requested
Pay off is fantastic though. Really gets going when the game itself is explored, which is exactly what you need and expect from a GMM entry
P.S. Atlas Shrugged can be rattled down to "I am fantastic, if you agree with me you are also fantastic, let us abandon the pathetic masses who actually make the world work, hang on I'm busy monologuing"
I know, and that's why I felt silly even bringing it up
Because if you make it full of life and excitement then you're simply detracting from the finale and so you're defeating the object of the whole GMM thing and blarghblugablah

I saw some of the Atlas Shrugged movie thread in D&D, and it's mentioned on some of the other forums I frequent. From what I understand it's supposed to be all about libertarianism and how great it is and how terrible socialism and the masses are.

It is actually about how slender the the protagonist is and how mocking the smile of her love interest.
See that sounds much more interesting a story than one about terrible unwashed masses.

It kind of hurts my head to think there are people that actually base their philosophy on Atlas Shrugged.

That doesn't even make sense. If everyone were born with the same opportunities, it'd be Communism.

I should attempt to read Atlas Shrugged at some point, just to be more educated in my dislike of Rand's political philosophy. For God's sake, I managed to slog through the Ender's Game series. This is, what, the next step up?
As for school, I'm almost done with my summer classes. One more week, and Physical Anthropology is finished! My other six units ended last Thursday, thank god.

I have had 8:00 or 8:30s almost every day of college. More recently because I need to clear past noonish so I can work and maybe feed myself. I should really give a look at what classes I stumbled into next semester. I don't remember at all. Then again, it is my D=Diploma semester.
