What is the broader relevance of Ayn Rand for society?

It's a conspiracy!

It's not a conspiracy. The GDP was, indeed, altered to provide a higher number.

America cannot survive as "the America we've known" with either a Liberal/activist judiciary or Liberal/activist 4th estate.

We have both... sadly.

Prepare as best you can...

Yes, and we should also have nuclear weapons and Apache helicopters. What the hell is wrong with you right wing nut jobs?

Sorry, this has been answered numerous times. The individual's right to bear arms rests with the individual. Nuclear weapons, tanks, bazookas, whatever. These are weapons of war and do not serve the individual's defense.

ARGUMENT #3 — The Bazooka and Tank Argument.


Inevitably, when you begin speaking to someone who does NOT believe in the Second Amendment, they will eventually say something to the effect of; “…what? So you think someone should be able to own a Tank?“. Even Joe Biden has used that argument. ‘But what he seems ignorant of… is that you CAN own a tank if you can afford it (There’s a couple on Ebay right now). You can also own military Fighter aircraft, Bomber aircraft, Field Artillery, Machine Guns; and yet, you’ve never heard of anyone using them in crimes.

But regarding firearms, Anti-Second Amendment people will keep increasing the size of weapons in order to explain their position of “gun control” and concurrently, make themselves sound evermore idiotic. Given enough time, these people (whom consider themselves enlightened) will ask you, “if people should be able to own Bazooka’s or Flamethrowers“; again, even though there’s never been a crime committed with a Bazooka or Flamethrower and you CAN own them. What’s even more funny is that if you give them too much of a logical argument, they’ll eventually get to the absurd and ask you… “Do you think a person should be able to own a nuclear bomb“? [Which is a ridiculously stupid and desperate attempt to win an argument they've already lost...]

If you’re gonna be reasonable… NEVER bring up Bazookas, Tanks, or Nukes.

Why because you say so? The United States Constitution has no such limitations. The courts made the decision (to limit arms) not the framers of the Constitution.

This from a guy who regularly engages in sex acts with his gay brother.

From a guy who daily fucks his mother in the ass.

Really, what the hell is wrong with you? Dropped on your head as a baby? Fox News?


LOL You are a major douchebag.

But max e douche thinks we need guns to fight the government. The government has nukes and Apache helicopters. To extend his "logic" that means we the people should have them too. If we don't, it's absurd to think we can fight the US military. Basically his argument is just more brain dead righty gun nut "logic".

US GDP was altered, in the same way, by all three agencies, but only for the US and not all the other countries on the list?

No, the US altered the way it reports GDP. I have no idea if the IMF, World Bank and CIA used that new altered format for the US in their models.

But the US altered the way it reported GDP. With the exception of Japan, I am not aware of other countries altering the way they report their GDP.

You don't see to get it, obviously. If the government tried to, say, put all of the people into "re-education camps" or whatnot, they couldn't. The people would revolt, and the people are armed. Nukes and all your silly examples have nothing to do with it.
