I truthfully know not what to say. I am part of this site, so I am Objectivist. And since you are too, that needs no explaining. I am a proud homosexual and a vegetarian. I feel as if I wouldn't hurt a human, so why use force against an animal? I mean, unless they strike first, which Objectivism says is alright to use force against those who use it against you. I believe that humans are animals and so animals deserve at least humane treatment (although they don't understand morality, rationality, philosophy, and money and so shouldn't be ensured with those expectations). I play the viola and love to play it when I feel stressed. Classical music is my favorite. My favorite thing to do? Debate. Especially with my colleagues (most of which are religious and so support communism).

    "lame brained"? If you had called him that and said nothing further then maybe that would be considered leftist name calling...maybe, but it would've been a lame brained attempt at name calling lol

    I was referring to your methodology, not you personally. the second sentence shows great respect for how I see you. I meant to be provocative to someone who reasons well in their comments. I apologize if I offended you. My goal was to get you to respond to the 9/10th of the comment, which was a formulated argument

    Okay so the only thing you can do is retort with name calling? Like a leftist would do, "you don't agree with me so I'll resort to name calling and discrediting because I have no other argument!"

    Republics are ruled by the law and as an objectivist your goal should be using reason to explain the proper role of government and individual rights. From those two blocks grow a healthy republic, one based on the correct morals to sustain human life and happiness.

    Roast duck sounds real good, BTW. It's been a while since I've had it. Occasionally, my wife and I will prepare one for Thanksgiving. Yes, no one talks when having duck. Too damn good.

    ok this is funny. I have seen those grills btw. charcoal in another country is NOT anything like US charcoal. it's "natural" and therefore burns extremely hot and you cannot have a closed system. it doesn't light well either. tricky business.
    charcoal lighter down here is much heavier. it doesn't burn off quickly. uugghhh. you try not to use it.

    Avocados rock. My summer fav: sliced avocado with salmon, mixed with a little extra virgin olive oil, chopped tomatoes, cracked pepper & chopped irish cheese. Trust me, you'll be full.

    no, in central america. canning certain things in this country isn't as profitable as shipping the product out to be canned elsewhere. then bringing it back in...I'm in an area where things like that are imported. think...boat
    but fresh is abundant and cheap. canned things I can do myself. but I have not been able to figure out that enzyme thing with pineapple.

    Charcoal only. I have two Meco's, one is the usual 350 square inch one, and the other is a rare tabletop one, similar to the Weber one. I once used both to cater to about 15 people a while back and they were full when it was all done. I served steak and my custom marinated chicken breasts. The one comment I'll never forget was "Damn, the chicken looks and tastes like it came from a restaurant". I was flattered. It was unexpected.

    how many grills do you have? a nice gas grill, a weber, what else? a smoker? I love to roast ducks. my a l'orange sauce is kicked up with heat. no one talks during the dinner-only downside to duck. 30 AR neighbors coming over for a BBQ dinner. hmmmm. nice and in our dreams :)

    Where are you at in which canned pineapple is expensive? Are you some scientist, stuck in a hole in Antartica?

    That would be nice. 30 people would require some preparation in advance for sure. I'd have to use my other grill too. (A man CANNOT have just one grill)

    pork steaks. St. Louis. we do kabobs-but not the Hawaiian kind- in part because that fresh pineapple thing to meat. here, pineapple is easily come by and so canned pineapple is very, I mean very expensive.

    Abortion? As long as it does not yet have a heartbeat then I support it. For, only absolutes matter, not possibilities. Just because it could become a human being does not mean it must. For the tree is just as guilty of its cells not joining into a human as the cells in the womb. But once its heart begins to beat and it's rationality begins to form, it becomes human and would then be murder. And, before it has a heartbeat, what makes it any more deserving than all the sperm and eggs that do not become human? Every second you do not conceive, that denies millions of possible births. So, just because it has a few more cells does not make it human. A mind and heart do.
