There's your fail.
If the parents allow the kids to do nothing and stay on the couch, the parents have no one to blame but themselves.
I get it now... It's the 'Occupiers' additional entitled right to have their parents bear all responsibility and blame for the 'Occupier's' laziness.
Gotcha
One major thing to point a finger at. Enough for those unemployed to take notice of.
Fair enough, but to blame any material amount of unemployment on some bankers that got bonuses is a big stretch for me.
No, I'm blaming the parents for letting the kids stay around doing nothing. A parent's job is to raise their kids, not let them sit around and then whine about how the kids sit around.
If the kids are lazy, it's because they were raised to be that way. If the parents are being taken advantage of, it's because they allow it.
It's called responsibility; try it some time.
Prove it
Yeah, sure... All of that comment in the face of the whinny rants of the Occupiers.
Spare me please.
Spare you from responsibility? Why would we do that? Just because you don't understand the concept? That's rather a silly point of view.
Is that you, dad? I thought you were dead, we burned you, and dumped your ashes in the river.
You are being a little simplistic and possibly naive. I've known families where the siblings run the gamut from industrious to bone lazy, so there is more at play here than parental influence.
They want $lice of the occu-pie
Even in Zuccotti Park, greed is good.
Occupy Wall Street’s Finance Committee has nearly $500,000 in the bank, and donations continue to pour in -- but its reluctance to share the wealth with other protesters is fraying tempers.
Some drummers -- incensed they got no money to replace or safeguard their drums after a midnight vandal destroyed their instruments Wednesday -- are threatening to splinter off.
“F--k Finance. I hope Mayor Bloomberg gets an injunction and demands to see the movement’s books. We need to know how much money we really have and where it’s going,” said a frustrated Bryan Smith, 45, who joined OWS in Lower Manhattan nearly three weeks ago from Los Angeles, where he works in TV production.
Smith is a member of the Comfort Working Group -- one of about 30 small collectives that have sprung up within OWS. The Comfort group is charged with finding out what basic necessities campers need, like thermal underwear, and then raising money by soliciting donations on the street.
“The other day, I took in $2,000. I kept $650 for my group, and gave the rest to Finance. Then I went to them with a request -- so many people need things, and they should not be going without basic comfort items -- and I was told to fill out paperwork. Paperwork! Are they the government now?” Smith fumed, even as he cajoled the passing crowd for more cash.
