Quote from: DiscoBallClock;1863064I was born in the cold waters of the arctic seas.
Soon I grew from a small child to a big and fat adult.
I had to learn how to hunt, build a shelter and make love all by myself.
I eat shrimp, crabs, sea cucumbers and other mollusks.
I had to learn how to run away from poachers who come in search of my ivory and blubber.

I am the walrus.

Quote from: wavy gravy;1863061Having said that, I don't like to call things like an art degree 'useless' simply because you can't get straight into a decent job with it. To me, it seems more useless to pursue a degree just because it will give you good financial prospects, rather than doing something more personally rewarding. There are millions of unhappy and overstressed people out there who chose financial stability over what they truly wanted out of life.

see i dont get those people. in fact i hate those people

money = bitches = happiness

Do I blame the government? No.

They're going about this all wrong. If they wanted to actually do something, they'd stage an actual occupation and sabotage the generators that power the office buildings, or at least cut off their Internet connections. If they're afraid to go to prison, this isn't going to work for them. I mean, they're going to end up in prison anyway when the police plant undercover operatives and start throwing bombs around. Posting some sob story on the Internet about how you can't pay your tuition doesn't get anything done and makes you look weak.

This protest is pathetic and everyone involved should be ashamed.

no because that won't garner them sympathy form the other idiots, and would harsh their circlejerk high

I do recognize the corruption and I oppose corporations possessing the liberties of a person but most of their
demands' are fucking stupid

Well, that's the other thing, too. They don't have focus. Instead of "do something about the horrible corporate elite or we will WRECK YOUR SHIT", they're somehow asking the government to shut down nuclear power plants and pay their tuition. I miss back in the sixties when the protests actually had a coherent message. "Fuck the war." Three words. All you need.

Today my university has a walkout relating to the OWS protests.

Why would you walk out of a class you paid for yourself

Quote from: Buttplug;1863951Today my university has a walkout relating to the OWS protests.

Did you tell your teacher to shut the fuck up and teach the damn class you paid money for?

Quote from: Buttplug;1863951Today my university has a walkout relating to the OWS protests.

Because they're stupid and don't understand that walking out of classes they already paid for doesn't accomplish anything but hurt themselves. The college doesn't care if you show up or not if they're getting money.

Quote from: CadillacClock;1863920the message is lost under the ever swaying direction and mentality of their supporters. for every serious protester there's a teenager running around in a guy fawkes mask or worse an adult abe lincoln/george washington costume.



even their unofficial official website fails to grasp a single unified message. the entire protest has become a display of the peoples inability to define themselves under a single (compromised) message.

http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-for-occupy-wall-st-moveme/

a bunch of poorly written demands

Here are my thoughts and responses to their demands.

1.  While I'm all for removing free trade systems like NAFTA, the problem is that we will risk trade wars as our trading partners increase tariffs on our goods.

2.  If we raise min. wage to $20, inflation will spike and you better be ready for the prices of everything else to go up proportionately.

3.  It already exists and it pays enough to live on.  The problem is they want to be rewarded for nothing by being paid enough for them to have all their desires met.  A big screen TV in every room, a new car in every driveway, etc.

4.  There is no free meal, somebody has to pay for it.   As long as everybody understands that their taxes will go up, sure go ahead and make it free.  Not that it matters to me, I'm a few years out of college, so it wouldn't affect me anyways.

5.  I would be ok with getting rid of fossil fuels, if an equally cost effective alternative existed; however, at this point, nothing exists, other than nuclear.  That demand is waiting on the science.

6.  Should have been done to begin with.  I like Ron Paul's idea to cut the wasteful military spending and put it into infrastructure like roads and bridges.

7.  Grew up using nuclear power and living near major wetlands.  We never had any problems.  

8.  The civil rights act already does that (without it being an amendment to the Constitution).

9.  Today's geopolitical climate doesn't allow that.  Open borders (esp. with Mexico) are unsafe.  Instead, I would propose major increases in the number of and ease to aquire work and travel visas.  

10.  Those standards are set that way because most countries *cough*Africa*cough* don't have the funding for anything beyond a paper ballot, which is slow and tedious to count.  

11.  Easiest way to destroy the world economy in one swift blow.

12.  Enjoy not being able to get a loan without a major percentage of money as a down payment.

Edit:  Forgot one of them:
13.  Allowing union creation is the easiest way around to get a business to close.  Simply because it is easier to shut down and start a new company than comply with union thugs.

The majority of these people are folks who don't have an ounce of sense.  I'd be willing to bet many of these protesters haven't had a job in their life, outside of "going to class".  Maybe they should work on how to implement their plans rather than just making a bunch of demands.  At least with the Tea Party bunch (which might I add, are the original Tea Party in name only), they'll recommend ideas on how to implement their demands and do it without vandalizing property.
