Yeah, np, some people like em, some people don't. I think they get difficult too. Is that something you think is true? That if the world were full of sado masochists, slapping people in the face would be good..not be seen to be good, actually be good? Well...why? If the suppressed premise is that it would in that world, be pleasurable - and what is pleasurable is good - ..that's yet another form of objectivism. Hedonistic realism, as vulcan was discussing. That the property of an act is the good or badmaking property, and therefore acts with the property of pleasure making are good making.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
