You get a brownie button. I am not theorizing. Today's 'Occupy the ports" was designed to disrupt the economy.
I think the plan all along has been to destabilize the economy
Let me rephrase.Yes, it was the workers who were injured and some even lost their lives building the factories and working in them. It's hard to "walk away" when you're dead
on edit: What portion of the 1% died while working construction?
Why should I concern myself with the useful idiots? They do nothing useful...nothing that matters...nothing really original. All of their activities are directed by the few behind-the-scenes people at Adbusters.
Let me rephrase.
Did the workers take the financial risk of investing in a new company, that could have easily failed?
Right. So, in a nutshell, your position is "I refuse to pay attention to what OWS is doing or saying, but I'm convinced that they're doing and saying things in furtherance of the goals of an organization that I don't like."
You may want to work on your reasoning skills there, buddy.
No, you didn't. You sidesteped the question by pretending like you didn't understand what I said.I answered your question, so why won't you answer mine?
What portion of the 1% died while working construction?
I have heard that the OWS is not against capitalism at all, though I have seen many OWS groups and signs that indicate they are indeed against capitalism. What is the truth? Are they against capitalism or not? I wuld reason that during their earlier days they came to protest against businesses and corporations, which are all a part of capitalism. What do you think about this? I see OWS members on YouTube chanting against the crimes of capitalism while holding their signs that reflect their belief.
Some people refuse to recognize the truth even when it's put into pictures
OWS protesters are more likely to have a job than Tea Tantrum protesters
» Get a What? A Job? 70% of Occupy Wall Streeters are Employed, Compared to 56% of Tea Partiers
No, you didn't. You sidesteped the question by pretending like you didn't understand what I said.
Nice petition. It seems the person who made it would like to keep medicare. What's this have to do with drunk freshmen?
Not sure who these "Tea Tantrum" people you're speaking of, but going by just the chart you posted it appears that the orange/red movement has roughly 11% unemployed, non-retired people compared to the blue movement that appears to have 30% unemployed, non-retired people
Perhaps their not so bright idea is an attempt to destabilize the economy. Tactical decisions implies a plan, does it not?Yes, some specific protest actions have been designed to temporarily disrupt specific types of economic activity. This is, in my opinion, not a very bright idea. It is still a far cry from this:
You do understand the distinction between a small number of tactical decisions to disrupt specific aspects of the economy and having the overall strategic goal of destabalizing the economy, yes?
That statement very clearly conveys that they are against our economic system and our political system.This site, like the Occupy Wall Street Movement as a whole, aims to challenge an economic and political system that is dominated and controlled by the 1%.

Lets look at some facts. Adbusters no matter what degree they currently have within OWS hatched the idea for OWS. Adbusters asserts an anti-Capitalism ideology.
Occupy Oakland is one of the more radical general assemblies among the occupy movement. That statement very clearly conveys that they are against our economic system and our political system.
You spoke about people who wanted govt handouts. You're not fooling anyone by pretending that you don't remember what you were talking about in order to avoid the embarrassment of admitting that the teabaggers are a bunch of unemployed bums dependent on govt welfare
Well, yeah. I stated that its true that as a MOVEMENT OWS isn't about "handouts" but that its not exactly accurate that "people" aren't asking for handouts because they definitely are. I absolutely remember talking about that.
Where you're losing me is with this talk of tea baggers. Like I said, outside of 8 year old kids throwing school yard insults or drunk college guys at a frat party I'm not exactly sure what you could mean and I'm not sure how any of those two things relates to your picture. I'd be happy to discuss my thoughts on the picture but I just don't have the context. Perhaps if you could accurately explain it then I'd be able to comment.
Your post is nothing but dishonest and disingenous hypocrisy. You think it's fine for you to call others "drunk freshmen" but it's wrong when others engage in name calling.

And you continue to pretend that you don't know who the teabaggers are so that you can avoid commenting on the how the teabaggers are dependent on govt handouts, while the OWS protesters are more likely to be employed
What? Not at all. I am stating that the only people I've witnessed involved in "tea bagging" have been drunken college guys at frat parties. I'm not insulting any group, simply indicating my confusion.
Again, perhaps you could be more specific as I do not understanding exactly how people who enjoy placing ones testicles on anothers mouth are dependent on government handouts, but perhaps you can better explain. You stated medicare...perhaps there are routine accidental teeth marks? Hard for me to say, I'm not familiar with it. Perhaps if you could clarify and be more specific we could speak and I could happily give you my thought and opinions.
As to the OWS protesters being employed? Indeed, a majority of them are. Looking at the figure you keep posting, as I said, it appears that there are more "employed" people in the blue group then the red group. Similarly there are more people in the category of "unemployed" in the blue group compared to the red group. There is little to no people in the "retired" category in the blue group and about 33% in the red group. So it seem, as a percentage of their total numbers, the Blue group has both more currently employed and more currently "unemployed" statused people.
Right. So, in a nutshell, your position is "I refuse to pay attention to what OWS is doing or saying, but I'm convinced that they're doing and saying things in furtherance of the goals of an organization that I don't like."

Your disingenuity is fooling no one.
Again, your disingenuity is fooling no one.
Keep pretending that retired people are not unemployed. Your disingenuity is fooling no one.
You witnessed tag-bagging. That's messed up. Why? I have an idea about your confusion.
