Occupy Wall Street Fail

Wow, that was a real intellectual discourse.
But let me ask you. If I (or anyone) works hard and earns money - whose money is it? Is it mine or is does it belong to the governments? Who should decide what I contribute to the whole and what I keep for myself - me or the government?
It's all well and good to as you put it "re-establish(sp) a dirigiste nationalistic economic system" but who really wins in the end? Socialism hasn't worked yet. But I'd love you to answer my question. Whose money is it?
Just askin'

"My best friends were/are Marines.."
In other words you lied? I still don't see how you can take "My best friends were/are Marines" and twist it into I don't care for Marines.
You fail again MHz!

Do you think you'll ever be able to form a sentence?
So the 'tough' guy tries to push the motorcycle cops' bike over. :lol:

Cliffy, I'm all for change on Wall St. Bay St, whatever street people with paper education, shuffle paper and reap millions in profits, on the backs of millions of people, who actually make tangible things...
I think this whole Occupy movement, is silly. Poorly planned and has far too many nutters roaming around acting like front men.
The disrespect. I say that, because you obviously aren't bright enough to grasp it.
What happened to the good old days, when a group of protesters picked a target, marched on it, had a sit in, made their point clearly and left nothing to the imagination?
You spelled transparent wrong.
That part came right after the quote I posted, her is the other part that you need, unless you now care for assholes, "and some of the biggest azzholes I ever met were"
If that doesn't float your boat then this comment should prove that you don't care for some, "says he was a Marine. Our views are night and day."
You forgot to mention what you thought of the person that executed Pat Tillman, would you consider him a friend or not?
So if your brother is an azzhole... it means you don't care for him?
So if one has a brother and his views are far different... it means you shouldn't care for him? My brother is a liberal and I care for him a lot.
Do you have anymore "stupid" to add?
Oh wait... I have one more thing to respond to!
Yes I guess you did have more stupid to add.
Who "executed" Pat Tillman? That is assuming that you know the difference between negligence and and an execution.
Why else would he, in a string of commentary pertaining to Marines and Marine brotherhood, bring up an Army incident?
I don't think he's confused. I know he is.
Anything for a little sex.
It’s Occupy Igloo.
Wall Street protestors in Zuccotti Park hunkered down in tents today as the early October snow began pelting down.
The fall record-breaker is expected to cover the sidewalks in a 3 inch sheet.
Even though it’ll be extra chilly at the sprawling camp which is also now down six generators and 13 fuel containers, removed by the FDNY yesterday, Wall Street haters were toughing it out.
“I got my blanket, I got my sleeping bag and I got my girl,” said 25-year-old protestor Rene, who came from Occupy Miami to Occupy Wall Street, “so it’s not hard to stay warm.”

After riding out a cold wet night, protesters at Occupy Boston tried to dry out yesterday, while fortifying their tent city for the first roar of winter weather, expected this weekend. They have propped their tents on plywood sheets or on pallets, to keep them out of the mud, and swaddled them in heavy blue tarps. Campers yesterday pounded tent stakes and strung new guy-lines to steady wobbly summer shelters designed for bug protection, not for snow.

True.
He also thinks providing hot meals is in the U.S Constitution. Then he changed up a bit and said something about prohibiting the denial of hot meals is in the U.S Constitution. lmao.
What a fruitcake. He simply is. That is why it is so important for guys like him to stay in this forum and post often. The more they post the better.
No you missed the point. This is mostly a crowd of freeloaders. Unlike most of us they don't seem to have any desire to work hard. Rather they sort of want to have those that make money just hand over a sizable chunck of it for nothing. Granted there is lots wrong with how Wall St. et al operate but making silly vague demands accomplishes nothing. In the 60s and 70s we had definate goals for demonstrations such as banning nukes, legalizing pot, permitting girls to wear jeans in school etc. These people don't know what they want and more to the point they don't want to work at changing what they don't like.
I guess the bottom line is if you don't like how it is vote for someone that will work towards making what you want . The rest of us do.
Bang on as usual, Taxslave. These people are frustrated, as all "the gravy" in life just isn't flowing their way, while the fat cats (some of whom are crooked as a dog's hind leg) are outsmarting them! :smile:
That about sums it up. Think about it, they say they are ready to camp in these places for the winter. Hello? Shouldn't they be looking for work?
Meanwhile life (and Wall St. proper) goes on whithout skipping a beat. Wall St. is completely unphased by this.
The Low-Down: As American as...Fighting the Banking Industry: the Founding Fathers' First Fear
Trick question: what is the most common thread uniting disparate Americans since 1764? No, it is not the right to distill your own liquor. Nor is it opposition to paying taxes. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness dont make the cut either.
Yup, believe it or not, fear of the concentrated power of the banking industry has been the most consistent theme in American history since at least 1764. It helped spark the American Revolution. Presidents as diverse as Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and his cousin Franklin all fought it - and with far more vitriol than we are ever likely to see today.

If you want to look at it honestly, these people have legitimate beef. Eevry year, the gap between haves and have nots grows. all of the blame for being unemployed or underemployed shouldn't be placed on the individual. As a society we have screwed up and let things get too far out of hand. There should be a balance that allows the individual a better chance in society than what we currently have. I won't make baseless accusations about people just not being on a gravy train so they complain. Some of that might be true but it's an overstatement to judge the entire movement as nut jobs or lazy useless people.
