Yawn, yep, totally a woman.... keep trying to convince us you're something other than another poser, heck that's what posers do, and that's all you ever do... :1orglaugh

ouch! :1orglaugh

We know, we know!

Ditto... :1orglaugh

They are not the 99%. They are the bottom 5% of trustafarian Marxists, fake anarchists, drug addicts, petty criminals, homeless people, mental patients, sex offenders and other other assorted trash. The real 99% are busy working and trying to support their families...... they do not have time to camp put in the street, chant simplistic childish slogans and start fires in a pathetic attempt to draw attention to their temper tantrums. These mutts are just spoiled children wanting a bigger allowance from the responsible members of society. :disgust

This is extra hilarious considering who took part in the general strike in Oakland. Do you have any resemblance of a clue at all? Any? :1orglaugh

True... and all tea party protesters are racists, unemployed, chumps with anti-american childish slogans as well. :1orglaugh

Do you only use ICQ or is there a chance you have a skype name?

The general strike was supported by unions, teachers, nurses, the local police, port workers, multiple businesses in the area and a plethora of others. Thousands marched in support, a few idiots caused trouble and the protesters stepped in to stop them. Big whoop.

I forgot, supported by the city as well.

you got a link to that news or is the media covering it all up?
'cause here in oakland, things seem a little different:
Oakland police arrested more than 80 people in demonstrations after midnight, according to a press release updating the outcome of
overnight protests.
Five civilians and three police officers were injured. Many private businesses and public building were damaged, according to the city.
"Around midnight, a select group of people intent on engaging in illegal activity -- including vandalizing property, lighting fires, and assaulting the police--splintered into smaller groups and spread throughout the area in and around Frank Ogawa Plaza,'' according to the city's press release.
"The Oakland Police Department responded to a late-night call that protesters had broken into and occupied a downtown building and set several fires. Several private and municipal buildings sustained heavy vandalism. Dozens of protesters wielding shields were surrounded and arrested."
The crowd estimate was pegged at 7,000 when the crowd shut down operations at the port.
"Crews from the City of Oakland's Public Works Agency worked through the night to board up broken windows and doors, clear debris, remove graffiti, pick up litter, and secure damaged buildings in the downtown area, particularly around Frank Ogawa Plaza,," according to the citys update.
" Public Works crews have been redirected today to facilitate clean-up efforts. The City's priority is to return downtown Oakland to a more functional status as soon as possible. The City is assessing damage to downtown businesses."
12:30 p.m. Anti-vandalism proposal to go to full camp meeting
Campers have reached an anti-vandalism consensus and will likely return to how to stop the vandals at tonight's 6 p.m. general assembly for a vote. They are currently voting on when/how to apologize to business owners.
Milani, a camper who did not want to give a last name, spoke against apologizing to businesses. She said it wasn't just outsiders committing vandalism.
"The person I saw putting toilet paper up, they're a facilitator at the general assembly. The person spray painting, they're on the events committee."

I have a feeling that this movement is designed to NOT turn over Congress. Keep the same bunch of crooks in there by turning attention away from Washington, DC

Classic diversionary tactic.

"GET THOSE BANKS AND WALL STREET! THEY GOT BAILED OUT!!!"

Just don't pay attention to the politicians (crooks) who did the Bailing Out.

I can't believe how many people still think that ANY politician is on their side. Liberals scream about the "poor". Well...Bill Clinton was in my opinion a great president. And he was a liberal. Yet...he had 8 years in office, and there were still millions of poor people.

Now Obama has been in office for 3 years (GEORGE WASHINGTON only served FOUR) and we just had a report today that there are more people in the U.S. who are officially part of the "poorest of the poor" than ever before.

Sounds like somebodies economic policies aren't working. Sounds like the federal govt. greed and corruption has finally caught up to it.

And yet somehow...the politicians in Washington DC are so slick that they have deflected all blame from themselves and have a protest movement full of left leaning ideologues who want to tax us MORE and give those crooks in Washington even MORE money to steal and give to their friends. :disgust

Shoot me an email webmaster.skills at gmail - I use skype for my other business, I try not to mix them too much on here.

Somehow the OWS useful idiots have been convinced that the only answer to big government corruption is an even bigger government. :1orglaugh

I don't think taking the port was to teach the people that work there a lesson.

Also, I think the occupy movement rightly puts the focus on the economic institutions rather than on the politicians who are merely their lackeys.

The funnest thing about these 12clicks rants on OWS, is he seems to think he is in the 1%. At best maybe in the upper 25% but he sure is hell isn't tippin wine glasses with any of the 1% that this is about.

He is no different than the average trailer trash Republican that votes for the right despite that they do nothing for him. At least the Left throws the average person including 12clicks a bone every once in a while.

The reality is I don't think anyone really cares how much anyone makes in regards to the OWS movement.. It's about the corporate greed that is killing the middle class, not some billionaire fan boy club.

welcome home, little boy.

the FUNNIEST thing about my threads is that you rushed home from work to post in them.
tell us, little one, how was work? did the mean boss make you work hard again today?:1orglaugh

I am sorry if I left out the public employee union agitators. I had intended to cover them when I said "other assorted trash". Sorry if I was unclear. :winkwink:

how exactly is the port holding down the 99% again?

Video looks liike the LA riots over 20 years ago

I just stopped in my tracks. Do you truly believe that Myspace became what it is today because of Facebook?

Why is it always the fault of someone or something else? That's the mentality that so many people in the US have and is why they themselves are doomed to go nowhere.

Decisions by the people running MySpace caused it to be what it is today. Plain and simple.

The Boston Tea Party fought corrupt government.

OWS IS corrupt government. OWS wants more power for corrupt government. OWS is backed by the White House, ACORN, and George Soros. OWS is our corrupt government lashing out against its own people. It always wants more, more, more.

Exactly, MySpace got it's clocked cleaned by Facebook because Myspace was buggy as hell, down all the time, and surfing profiles was like having internet diarrhea. Facebook INNOVATED, myspace was sold to TW and they had no clue what they were doing and ran it into the ground.

Now should the govt' have stepped in and stopped the migration cause it wasn't fair? Taxed FaceBook extra cause they executed a biz plan brilliantly? no.

I think it's the other way around. The politicians are in control and have done a great job over the years of convincing us that they are just poor innocent sidekicks.

But even IF you believe that the govt. isn't all powerful...then I still say that there couldn't be ANY corruption if our politicians weren't the ones being paid off!

Think about that for a second. IF the politicians weren't "on the take" (in other words: CROOKS) then the "evil" companies wouldn't be able to "pay them off".

And just looking at the "BailOuts" that happened...it sure looked to me like the big companies were BROKE. And then the POLITICIANS funneled money to them. (which in the end comes back to the politicians under the table)

You see...I can completely understand why anyone (including you) would take a job as a CEO of a big corporation. They get paid millions of dollars right up front. Very transparent.

But I have to ask myself...and any of you who are serious thinkers do too...WHY on Earth would anybody spend millions of dollars to get elected to a low paying govt. job?
Is it because they are selfless human beings who just want to "serve" the public?

You know better than that.

At least the CEO of a corporation is a known commodity. His job is to MAKE MONEY.

Politicians? It's all hidden and uses OUR MONEY to give them power and glory.

agent provocateurs already?

they're not screwing around these days

wonder what happens if one of these 'tough guys' gets beaten within an inch of his life

would he suddenly become a police officer?

U surprised? These are probably the same people that attend Oakland Raider games looking to bust anyone not in black face in.

THE founding fathers were paranoid hypocrites and ungrateful malcontents. What was their cherished Declaration of Independence but empty political posturing? They groaned about the burden of taxation, but it was the English who were shouldering the real burden, paying taxes on everything from property to beer, from soap to candles, tobacco, paper, leather and beeswax. The notorious tea tax, which had so inflamed the people of Massachusetts, was only one-fourth of what the English paid at home; even Benjamin Franklin labeled the Boston Tea Party an act of piracy. Meanwhile, smugglers, with the full connivance of the colonists, were getting rich at the expense of honest tax-paying citizens. The recent French and Indian War had doubled Britain's national debt, but the Americans, who were the most immediate beneficiaries, were refusing to contribute their fair share.

The revolutionaries complained about a lack of representation in Parliament, but in this they were no different from the majority of Englishmen. What was more, the God-given or nature-given rights they claimed for themselves included the right to hold Africans in bondage. Edward Gibbon, who knew something about the ups and downs of history, opposed the rebels from the House of Commons. Samuel Johnson called them ''a race of convicts'' who ''ought to be thankful for any thing we allow them short of hanginng"



History belongs to the victors.....

:2 cents: Everyone here is just as clueless as the next person. It's fun to watch tho'! :1orglaugh

You bring up some great points! I think you're right, a lot of these politicians, who we know are corrupt as hell, do play the "innocent card" - shit, I havent sided with democrats or republicans for years. People need to realize they are all one in the same.

Jesus, you been living under a rock? When has news media ever NOT focused on the 1% of bad shit that happens in everyday life? That's what news media is - find the most heinous or off-the-wall shit to report on.

Actually, there are plenty. $360,000 or something a year puts you in 1%.

The name is actually ill conceived.

It should be called the anti-financial services, bailout, lobbyist, political corruption movement, etc.

Or more simply AFSBLPCME

Thanks Capt. Obvious for pointing out what everybody already knows.

It's all relative to where you are standing.
To the USA, George Washington is a patriot and a hero and a (dare I say the word...) "freedom fighter"
To the British in 1776, he was a traitor and a (dare I say the word) "terrorist"
=======

From where the "average" guy in America is standing...some of the OWS comes off as a bunch of "liberal" babies crying.
From where the OWS prostesters are standing, they are patriots and a voice for the common man.
From where the Democratic Party is standing, they are a potential God-Send in getting their apathetic base to wake up in time for the election.

And from where you are standing...you think you're the only guy who ever cracked a history book or went to college.

I would have thought that more people would have known that. But I guess if none of them actually make any money to speak of it wouldn't have occurred to them.

The "99%" name is catchy. That's why it caught on. But you're right...it's factually not a real representation of what they are protesting.
I'm not even sure if theoretically they are protesting "rich people" at all.

Aren't they really against banks and big corps who fucked over the economy with back door deals gone bad?

What exactly is the "rabble"? Honest, hard-working people that do their job everyday for a humble salary? By your definition teachers, nurses, construction workers, engineers, truck drivers, butchers, bakers, and fuckin' candlestick makers are all "rabble" or "lemmings", which probably includes most of your friends and relatives.


living in a McMansion in Williamstown or Washington Township and renting a condo in Ocean City, Avalon or North Wildwood during the summer doesn't make you an elite. I'm pretty sure Pine Valley Golf Club ain't sending you an invitation to play the course anytime soon. No, you gotta go down the street to the public course they built where action mountain used to be or over to Valleybrook. Please, when you get done posting here you're probably over at Reggie's(I refuse to call it Skeeter's pub), Adelphia's or the Piccalilli drinking with the "rabble".

I never went to college:)

Amazing the bitterness of the envious.
I'll chalk it up to the boss being mean to you.:1orglaugh
No son, the rabble are NOT the hard working men and women of this country. They're the trash that 'occupies' and wants their loans forgiven and wants to be handed what others have worked for. It's trash like you, marketsmart. :1orglaugh

Oh, i'm not bitter or envious. You've mentioned the "rabble" plenty of times even when you weren't referring to OWS. I was just wondering what your definition of "rabble" and "lemming" was, that's all. Two dollar pints of Miller at Reggie's tonight, you're missing happy hour.

The stockholders set the pay.

Why are you so worried about what other people are making?

My understanding of the movement and what I am in agreement with and support is they're after the folks that create exotic financial products where the wall st. company can't fail but everybody else can. Or how corporations can now dump millions or a billion into a campaign. Or how lobbying can get you things not in interest of the people. Bailouts for wall st. paid for by main st. when main st. didn't get one. Why did anybody get one? How did we let it get to too big to fail?

Getting rich because you have something people want (Apple and Starbucks) more power to them, including their billionaire founders.

When you have the oldest most respected people on the street complaining that they have people on staff creating financial products they can't even comprehend as an experienced and respected money man... we have a problem.

On my phone and I could go on and on, but I am sure you get the drift.

ok, NOW i know once and for all you're just fucking with us.

good read on the shit that banks did that blew up the economy.

if people feel subjectively that they are getting a raw deal from the social contract it does not matter that ron or some american pretending to be a russian thinks on a message board, that sense if grievance will lead to action and change, as it seems to be building every day.

that will just make people more angry :2 cents:

If I was single and didn't have kids id be down there in oakland with my peeps breaking shit. Looks like a lot of fun really.

In reality a lot of these people have no idea why they are angry. Occupy peeps or Tea Party Peeps. There are boneheads on both sides. Some have good points but most of these people are just fucktards..

But there is nothing wrong with being a fucktard. It can be fun.. Ive been one most my life. Now I'm a 1%er.. But I'm still a fucktard at heart..
