I'm sure there are still some here who are, but they're vastly outnumbered by the people who learnt to be better than that in kindergarten.

Welcome!

Read Ayn Rand about a decade ago (Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged)...interesting exercise but ultimately I concluded it was boring flawed nonsense. Helped me move away from conservatism.

My grandfather read her. I never cared to. If you are against government social programs you have to either be born with money or want most average people to suffer. This is the same logic I use today on no longer being a Republican.

NO. After all her ranting against government social programs, after she got lung cancer in 1974 , she went on Social Security and got medicare. She was an amphetamine Benzedrine addict also.

At least she was pro-choice, and an atheist, despite being a conservative.

By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve, so here's some info, in case you need it.

For members who are open to dating, certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible others are with them.

You gain website points by answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns website points, and helps other members get to know you.

Commenting on posts and writing your own posts earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

If you want to date, the website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find others with similar interests..

In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page or at [agnostic.com].

I've read everything she wrote and looked into her biography. She was a very dangerous narcissist who destroyed relationships and led a useless life. People have latched onto her philosophy to promote conservative politics without knowing that she disliked all politicians.

oh and welcome
