The MACtac factory in the old world burned down. Nothing left but a crispy polymer goo. Sad. Really sad.

You made me spray the whole sip of my drink. where the hell is my Scott towels. LOL
Eagle - did you see the you tube video in the link?
Occupy Oakland General Strike: Video of protests at Whole Foods - YouTube
'Occupy Oakland' General Strike - Protesters Attempt to stop Provocateurs - YouTube
Peaceful protesters were shouting ''NO VIOLENCE''. And note comments made by people in youtube. Unlike this forum which is so filled with right wing delusionals, they know the truth. BTW, notice how the guys in black drew the letters MLK on the wall. Can you imagine real liberals profaning Dr Martin Luther king's name way when he condemned violence? Not likely.
Think this hasn't happened in Canada? Guess again:
Police Admit Using Provocateurs To Stage Riots - YouTube
Those who deny: EPIC FAIL.

Thanks for the laugh! Those aren't "agent provocateurs" just because someone on Youtube says so!
See! See! It must be true guys! :roll:
FILLED with right wingers? Have you seen the poll?
Wrong again.
The people you think are "agent provocateurs" are members of the "black block". They're far-left, they support the socialist Occupy movement, they usually call themselves "anarchists", and they're prone to start violence. They're not police officers.
Yeah, we've all seen that video before. In this case those real agent provocateurs were trying to ENCOURAGE OTHERS to vandalize and get violent. The anarchists in Oakland ACTUALLY DO COMMIT vandalism and get violent. See the difference? Plus, if you were an agent provocateur would your mission really permit you to commit violence, or would you only be allowed to encourage it?
Yup, that sums up your posts so far.
That's the cirque de Quebec for ya.
His posts? His whole life.Yup, that sums up your posts so far.
Rex Murphy: Forget Wall Street, Occupy Hollywood
You hear it in every little encampment in every city that has a franchise in the current “Occupy” protests: The righteous tent-and-yurt people are against “greed.”
They see greed as the demonic dynamo of a rapacious capitalism (and its maidservant, “income inequality”). And what represents greed better than mega-payoffs, dazzling bonuses and stock options, for very little actual work, and sometimes even when performance is far below par? It is only to be expected that the high-flying brokers, bankers and CEOs that cluster like flies around the honey pots of Wall Street, who waltz off with payoffs that would shame a Croesus, are the occupiers’ main targets.
I suggest, however, that by limiting their wrath to the sharks and swine of Wall Street, they are, if I may say, shortchanging themselves. There are many venues and theatres of greed other than the stock market. And they are tenanted by agents of ferocity and appetite equal to any gold-lusting shill at an investment bank. Greed has many McMansions, and they are all worth the “occupying.”

Some chick died at OWS Vancouver.

I love the spin by the spokesperson -- she died of a drug overdose because they are protesting lack of addition services in Vancouver. Right. Not her fault she is addicted. She probably got her injection at the safe drug injection site across the street.
I do get the feeling he was waiting for the 1st opportunity.
Yeah the probably do shoot up in the A&W across the street on Georgia.
Meanwhile, over in England:
Everyone's terribly sweet... but what a festival of drivel!
Every crank, dingbat and fanatic in Southern England has found his or her way to the camp by the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral. Given time, every faddist in Europe will arrive.
There are already plenty of North American accents. ;-)
Whatever your cause, it has a pavilion here, especially if it is a lost cause. The poor Kurds are represented. There are lots of those infuriatingly smug, self-satisfied Guy Fawkes masks.
There’s a Buddhist shrine next to an arrow marking the direction of Mecca.
Che Guevara, that old mass murderer, has his image on display.
There’s propaganda against the ‘persecution of sex workers’. The Socialist Workers Party, those latchers on to every passing procession, have a stall that looks a little too neat and tidy for the occasion.
Bolshevik discipline doesn’t really mesh with the world of Twitter and dope.
As George Orwell once said, such things attract the people he jeered at as ‘sandal-wearers’, ‘nudists’, ‘sex-maniacs’ and ‘vegetarians with wilting beards’ . . . the sort who are drawn to ‘progressive’ causes ‘like bluebottles to a dead cat’.

What Hollowwood company doesn't have their company listed on Wall Street or owners that don't also own stocks in other companies listed on Wall Street. Once Martin Sheen has lost it all perhaps you will see him in the ranks of the protesters, even any pro-sports player makes so much that they could not rightfully join the current throng of protesters.
Which of the list below could the 1% not eliminate entirely and still remain part of the 1%?
#1 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of “very poor” rose in 300 out of the 360 largest metropolitan areas during 2010.
#2 Last year, 2.6 million more Americans descended into poverty. That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.
#3 It isn’t just the ranks of the “very poor” that are rising. The number of those just considered to be “poor” is rapidly increasing as well. Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty. Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty.
#4 The poverty rate for children living in the United States increased to 22% in 2010.
#5 There are 314 counties in the United States where at least 30% of the children are facing food insecurity.
#6 In Washington D.C., the “child food insecurity rate” is 32.3%.
#7 More than 20 million U.S. children rely on school meal programs to keep from going hungry.
#8 One out of every six elderly Americans now lives below the federal poverty line.
#9 Today, there are over 45 million Americans on food stamps.
#10 According to the Wall Street Journal, nearly 15 percent of all Americans are now on food stamps.
#11 In 2010, 42 percent of all single mothers in the United States were on food stamps.
#12 The number of Americans on food stamps has increased 74% since 2007.
#13 We are told that the economy is recovering, but the number of Americans on food stamps has grown by another 8 percent over the past year.
#14 Right now, one out of every four American children is on food stamps.
#15 It is being projected that approximately 50 percent of all U.S. children will be on food stamps at some point in their lives before they reach the age of 18.
#16 More than 50 million Americans are now on Medicaid. Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, approximately one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid.
#17 One out of every six Americans is now enrolled in at least one government anti-poverty program.
#18 The number of Americans that are going to food pantries and soup kitchens has increased by 46% since 2006.
#19 It is estimated that up to half a million children may currently be homeless in the United States.
Even in America's best years it was still well short of being able to provide anything equal to what is listed below, a list that is gone forever as it was the very reason for NATO's 'intervention'. Aren't you proud you supported the destruction of al;l these things?

But he was a very bad man, so he had to go... right?
Mhz, you should not be confusing people with facts this early in the day. They might get indigestion from their coffee.

Are you quoting from 'Breaking Bad'?
Before 'they' actually wake up, what were the differences between the Dictatorship in Egypt and the one in Libya?
IMO Egypt was geared to having a 1% 'Elite' and a 99% 'have nots' and there was great opposition from the 'West' for any changes to that system (the Gaza border was opened for just 1 week as an example), Libya was geared to there still being a 1% 'Elite' and a 99% of 'not elites' who were much better off as far as living conditions yet that is the system the 'West' condemned.
What is missing from the above that makes the 'West' any better than supporting what living conditions that existed in England in the Middle Ages?
I was being facetious.
Gaddafi pissed off the World Bankers and the oil cartels. That is the crime he committed that got him killed by mercenary "rebels". He was about to nationalize their oil and create an African currency that would be debt free, in other words free from the tyranny of the World Bank and the Fed. That is why he was a "very bad man". (that is also an expression from an old video game called Shadow Warrior)
The West could eliminate the first list and have the 2nd list for all it's people and still have a class that would qualify for the same life-style they now enjoy. Apparently they are not as bright as they claim to be, that is just a hard fact.
