Never read it but I've heard of Objectivism.

As for Ms Wark.
I like Kirsty, she is always very pleasant, always extremely nice and very interesting.
I also get so bored with people continually judging other people by their looks, it's so shallow and silly.

In terms of that woman's broadcasts, none of the above is true.

In terms of her broadcasts, she is none of the above. I think you'll find she was forced to apologise to the first minister after her particularly obnoxious behaviour towards him on Newsnight.

She is biased and she is partisan, all of which have no place in the job she's employed to do.

If in the above you are implying you know her personally, then in terms of your friends and acquaintances, your choices would seem to be bizarre, but the are your own. You make your bed - you lie in it.

Not what I was doing.

She has pals in the Sunday herald and recently got to do pages and pages of a full colour fashion spread - with herself as the only model. Astonishing, not to mention cringeingly embarrassing.

Self serving, conniving creature. Her biases are all too obvious, and her company is partisan and corrupt.

Perhaps now all the all too familiar foaming at the mouth by the usual suspects has occurred and despite the fact that this thread was started with the express intention of haranguing and insulting Kirsty Wark...
...It could still be rescued by a discussion about the book and the proposed film, perhaps?

I got to know about Ayn Rand through studying her husband's work, funnily enough. :)
Has anyone read the book?

Your statements, in terms of that woman's broadcasts, were patently wrong. I was not about to let them pass on a Glasgow discussion forum.

You don't like being called on talking nonsense, tough.

this thread was started with the express intention of haranguing and insulting Kirsty Wark...

Wrong again. If I wanted to start a thread insulting Kirsty Wark, it kind of stands to reason that I would not have called it Atlas Shrugged.

(o, of course, it's you. Reason doesn't come into it)


through studying


:)

Jings, well now I wonder why I started this thread, and have brought it up here before.......

It's not 'as if by magic'. I've been around the forum today as long as you have.

You're defending an obnoxious and biased political commentator. It so happens nota & I happen to have similar political views and challenged you on it. You got a problem with that?

Actually, don't answer that. It'll no doubt just be as above, the usual witless reductio ad hominem and no actual defence... no change there then.

Well if you say so.
But interviewing politicians is what she does for a living, isn't it?
If she was a bit robust with your "certin polishun(s)", then all I can say is I thought that is what she is paid to do?
I can't comment on her husband's "emplyment tribunal case" coz that involved some other people I like too.

My observations on Kirsty Wark were of a personal nature based on my actual experience of her.
I'm sure you stick up for people you know and like.
Of course you do. :)

She is employed, at the very least, to be prepared and on top of the facts of a situation before interviewing, and on that occasion she was clearly not.

She had no-one but herself to blame for being ill informed.

She then behaved in a completely unprofessional and biased manner towards the country's (obviously far better informed) first minister - also not what she is paid to do.

My observations on Kirsty Wark were of a personal nature based on my actual experience of her.


Therefore clearly irrelevant to the topic.

I'm sure you stick up for people you know and like.

No accounting for taste.

Professionally, Wark is a biased, partisan and obnoxious ratbag. There is no reason to 'stick up for' that.

As discussed last year.

Kirsty showing her bias (no doubt following Downing Street's brief), considerable ignorance of the facts and downright rudeness and lack of respect -

>>Wark making a fool of herself :) <<

This thread was allegedly started to discuss Atlas Shrugged and not Kirsty Wark.
Even though any semblance of 'critique' did seem to consist of comments purely about Kirsty Wark and not Atlas Shrugged.
Atlas Shrugged does feature in the title,so how about discussing what a thread advertises for once, eh?
I think as usual, it's been hijacked by people wanting to bang on and on about politics.
Can't some categories be kept for discussion about something other than chiming on ad nauseam about the SNP or New Labour...please?

:)

So where were we... Oh yes, Atlas Shrugged.

Anybody read the book?
I'd like to know about it.
I know something about Ayn Rand because of her husband's work.
