If the majority had any clue then this thread wouldn't exist.

Jesustapdancingchrist with the semantics. I feel like I'm watching Anderson Cooper 360.

Anderson is the next Oprah

Then I guess these protesters are vastly better informed on the financial and economic issues involving this country than the average American. We know they are already more politically active and involved in their citizenship duties.

its easy to lose money when you are dealing with horses.


When are you coming down?

Coach Pants 10-14-2011 02:39 PM

And again we're dealing with real life where s.hit doesn't go down the way we'd like it.

Do I want the Michael Moore tards to be the majority at the protests? NO!

But my subset...the radical anarchists, are few and far between. So I'll accept any group at this point.

All that matters is people are out there protesting. And the longer they stay then it's bound to grow.

I have an idea of who will be the victors when society collapses. So when I watch that video of OccupyAtlanta and that sissy douchebag leading the protestors on a vote for some politician to speak...I try not to get too angry. I know that the little socialist brainwashed tard leader will not survive..nor will any of his genetically deficient ilk.

And that helps me sleep at night.

Have fun! Yeah, I hear you on dressage ...

:zz: Uh, yes, we are. At least those of us willing to pay attention - try YouTube, "Boston Occupy Wall Street" Like this:

Or, Occupy New York, like this:

If there is one thing that the media loves to do is show cops beating up people. This entire media coverup conspiracy is made up.
But of course, you've already dismissed it as, "made up". Even though the mainstream media isn't showing most of it, but yet it's all over YouTube due to civilian media.

Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

:eek: :zz:

I havent been watching a lot of the news lately but if Bill O'Reilly and those guys are discrediting the protesters they should stop. The majority of people I know who are involved in OWS are employed republicans or tea party members. Its not a democrat vs republican thing, its an America vs the people who ruined this country (made up of both parties) thing.

Coach Pants 10-14-2011 02:51 PM

O'Reilly is a globalist parrot. He's great at keeping the hoveround demographic distracted by exploiting their racism.

That's the important part.

Hey, in NY, they don't let politicians speak at the assembly. Take some comfort that some are trying not to purchase "respectability tradeoff", they are intent upon taking what they - we - are due.

That $5 billion comes from municipal funds? Of course not. Apples and oranges.

I thought they represented 99%? Face it there is virtually no segment of americans where 40% have heard of Glass-Steagle.

Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and JP Morgan cannot be held accountable for the clusterf.uck of 2008. Both parties in D.C. bent over and gave them immunity.

Our government took our tax money and bailed out foreign banks.

I could go on and on and on. I'm trying not to bi.tch you out but quite frankly it's bush league to talk politics and not have a basic understanding of what's going on.

And if you do know what's going on you're basically accepting it. Stop it.

Contrary to how I may come off here, I am for shattering the rules as opposed to bending them. I have a complete understanding of what has gone on and am disgusted by it and would never have gone for it given a voice (but that isn't the world we live in). I am pro-revolution and am aware it is going to happen sooner than later. But this type of thing will not turn out to be the first shot and is therefore open to mockery in my opinion.

I guess I'm missing your point :D Unless it's that your wife is in the minority of the 23% that "don't have an opinion"?

Point is there are educated people who have not heard of it. As I am quite sure (now anyway) that there are uneducated people that have.

That $5 billion is tax dollars. These people are supporting what you've said you want, and you're dissing them.

I prefer not to. Hacks.

"Face it, it can't exist, because I said so. I don't need any evidence to the contrary. And if you try and show some, I'll ignore and dismiss it out of hand. My guess of less than 5% is better than your guess of 30-40%, because I said so".

Yeah. I know your debate style.

Good deal.

It's possible this is the beginning. I'm not convinced they care about the election. Obama could be finished. If that is the case then looking back historically this is a great month for an economic crash.

Nor should they if this is going to be the start of something larger. Once election comes into play it becomes the same old shell game. I am all but out of the markets, too volatile for my tastes right now and I do not have the capital, software or processor speed to make money on minor flux.

That's why they want a transaction tax - slows that way down.
