Moosicus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 If they did (and I have no knowledge of such a thing) I doubt it would be for the same reasons as modern-day hippies. If peasants in the middle ages were to protest against war I would imagine it would regard the conscription of their children. I wouldn't imagine that "give peace a chance" would be their top priority. eta: assuming that a peasant protest against a war wouldn't just lead to a horrible end for them, which it probably would. Though of course in Soul of the Fire the hippie protest is orchestrated by the Clinton, er, I mean the Ander government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosicus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 True, those are add-ons. The others being that every ism other than Objectivism is promoted by a sadistic retard. And there are a lot of violent and vocal hippies. And evil chickens, and, well, the list goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I once dug inside a university library and found, EGADS, a book, that was not written by Terry Goodkind OR Ayn Rand! But not just any book mind, it was a NON-EUCLIDEAN version of THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO. I have not been able to look at universities the same again. I figure Tairy must have had the same experience.

The Pita Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Universities are the most mentally opressive places known to man. They were invented as a means to shut down reasonable thought. This was in a TG interviewy thingy but I can't remember which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinDonner Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Don't worry, we know all about the Important Human Themes. The petty details of torture, speeches and chickens (which are not chickens) just pale in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrigan Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 [quote name='Foreverlad' post='1466301' date='Aug 2 2008, 10.24']You can find the entire interview [url="http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2007/12/interview-with-terry-goodkind.html"]here[/url] The river discussion is a little over halfway down the page.[/quote] To be fair I have not found anything about not jumping to avoid being wet... I only skimmed through the whole thing but he seems to say that you should not be forced to jump in a lake if you don't want to risk your life, and there's nothing outrageous about that. Tairy is a moron with a shit philosophy, we have plenty of material to criticize him. No need to invent them, as far as I'm concerned. (Unless I just missed it, in which case you can ignore this.) This part of the interview was funny, as in "LOL irony" funny (I'm certain there are better gems but this is one I spotted by skimming the drowning discussion): [quote]Yes. See, you're getting into really esoteric areas of philosophy, and the problem is, collectivists use those arguments to take you off track.
