DesertAttorney 0 #1 October 27, 2011 I've seen footage of the poor souls at Occupy Wall Street shivering at night in the cold...I want to help. Where did the US Army get those Smallpox-laced blankets in the 1800s? I want to send a few hundred to the OWS hippies to keep them warm at night...

Belgian_Draft 0 #4 October 28, 2011 Why would you want to contaminate a bunch of perfectly good blankets? Send them a few rolls of fibreglass insulation to use for blankets. They can even make underwear out of it!

lawrocket 3 #16 October 28, 2011 Is there anybody out there who is legitimately surprised over these developments? That the very human nature that the protestors are protesting is working out from within? I mean, they want corporate America to provide their gravy train but object to others wanting them to be the gravy train? Of course! Because this is about their own greed! It is not odd that these people who claim to be disadvantaged to “banks” are feeling used by those who, um, ARE REALLY FUCKING DISADVANTAGED? What they’ve created for themselves is a class based system, with the protest leadership at the top. They have a moral high ground above the banks, but certainly are superior over the homeless peasants. I am particularly impressed with the stated disgust at “professional homeless people.” That’s a riot and a half! I cannot help but think that the entirety of the movement is reflected in that statement. There are a bunch of people who are living outside in the public to protest. Basically, they are living like homeless people. Let’s call the Occupiers “amateur homeless people” or even “tourists of homeless life.” Like “environmental tourists” they ensure that they have the amenities to ensure that the environment doesn’t hurt them. You know the environmental tourists of the “rain forest” who have bug spray, inoculations and other items/equipment to ensure that nature itself doesn’t get too close? Here we have the “disadvantaged” who, it seems, don’t like the truly disadvantaged one bit! They are homeless tourists, but eating organic chicken. It’s the stereotypical communist system: the good stuff for ourselves (the leadership) because we know what’s best for society. But the other people can go to the soup kitchens. And the bourgeois should be destroyed.” This is why, as I’ve alleged all along, this movement is about greed and selfishness. Greed? They don’t even want to share their food with others! They want it for themselves. Selfishness? Yep! Not sharing it. Note the other hallmark of the iron curtain and organized crime: STOP SNITCHING! Rampant stealing was reported. Don’t snitch. Sexual assaults on women? Don’t snitch. What else is going on? Don’t snitch. What will happen to snitches? We wonder. The OWS movement is becoming an increasingly apparent descent into the Hobbesian model human nature. We see within the OWS movement in New York City that there is a struggle within the group. We know that the group is a clique – they are keeping undesirables out. There are power struggles going on within the group – the cooks revolting! And through it all, without a clear objective in sight, the OWS group will continue fighting battles within because there is no defined objective. No plan for achieving it. It’s simply group venting that has obtained financing. The OWS movement has become its own corporation – concerned with its continued existence, franchising nationwide and worldwide through word of mouth, building resources through free labor and non-compliance with wage laws, stamping out fires and threats to its message, and with a culture of secrecy that demands loyalty. If any of you have ever read “Animal Farm” it would be a nice thing to read and compare. Read about how revolutions are corrupted from within. Compare “Beasts of England” (which looks down on humans) and see how today “Beasts of America” would be about corporations. See how the pigs get everything going but set aside the best food for themselves. (This choice food is for us, not for ALL of us). Predict how there will be alliances with corporations – as the pigs allied with humans. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,602 #22 October 28, 2011 Ya know, I think that the people who picket outside of Planned Parenthood are at least as obnoxious as the OWS picketers. But they all have a right to do that; in a country that is defined, in part, by the opinions and attitudes of its people (USA), that's one way to see if there is a critical mass to sway public opinion. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. There's a little more commitment to doing it that way than flaming someone anonymously on the internet at least. Holding that opinion doesn't make them losers. There are a decent number of sympathizers who have always worked for a living, and who have reasonably comfortable livings. Are they whiners, or do they just have a different opinion of how the country should go? Isn't it their right to assemble and make it known? Note: destruction of public and private property is a different thing, and isn't part of legitimate protest in my mind. I wonder how many of the people objecting to the OWS protests would have objected to the civil rights protests if they had been adults during the 1960's.

normiss 906 #24 October 28, 2011 Agreed. I'm not objecting to their protests nor their right to do just that. But seriously. They're idiots. They don't know the difference between trespassing, legal assembly, resisting arrest, illegal possession of combustibles in a public place......or quite simply any understanding of unified goals or ideals.
