[Riot]

If you want to watch an infamous General Assembly meeting of Occupy Wall Street, you can see it live, here. They are spending some of that half-million they received in donations.

Love the finger twitch approval of up or down they're using. Reminds me of a trader on Wall Street. LMAO

BTW you remind me of a 25-year-old crow trying to return to the nest for care, only it's a robin's nest you're invading.

You have a bad knee and arthritis, not my fault or anyone else's fault, so YOU pay for that situation and let at least me go to BC with a pocket full of MY money.

I don't care about you, much more your knee or arthritis.

Except you have to make a drunken post pointing out how that's not true?

Sorry, Dell - as you've been told before - so many times before, but I know that reality rarely enters your alcohol-fogged mind - no, I no longer have a bad knee (it's been fixed), no I don't have arthritis, and yeah, I paid cash for the surgery.

So your pathetic, drunk attempt to somehow make yourself a victim of .... something ... is a rather big fail.

BTW - I challenged you to a 5K - you said you could only do 50 yards or so. Have another drink. Looks like my insurance money will pay for your liver. Not very fair, that those of us who take care of ourselves, have to pay for the losers like you in our insurance premiums.

I'm sorry, I thought you were telling the truth when you said you went to an exchange for affordable premiums because of a pre-existing condition of arthritis or the likelihood of arthritis in the future.

And how in the hell will your insurance premiums pay for anything to do with my healthcare? BTW around last Christmas, my heart/organ scan and blood work tested (at my own cost) was perfect. So your imaginary liver disease is just that, imaginary.

Right now, if you were telling the truth and went through an exchange, we’re all paying for yours. Well not those camping on Wall Street but certainly the CEO’s and many others they are protesting against. Instead of constantly whining and complaining why don’t you just quietly say thank you and read a story on how great Sharia law will be in Libya.

And to think you're still a registered republican.

You are one of the emptiest people I have ever met.

i recommend anyone wondering why there are occupy wall street protests to go to
nytimes.com and go to the opinion page. look for 'anybody hear the one about the banker?' by thomas friedman, and read it excellent op ed piece.

for those wondering who John Paulson is (20th richest american and who made $5 billion shorting bad mortgage paper) I found this.....

The fact that Bush AND Obama bailed out these banks together shows me why people should be Occupying Wall Street. No more government interference/involvement in anything but governing is what I'd cheer. And F*ck Free Diapers! You can't afford 'em don't have 'em. Period!

Of course I need to work mon-thur next week so I can't make it in person.

thanks for putting that up...wasn't able to from my phone.

yet another reason why i say that both parties suck. both were involved in getting rid of glass/steagall, which so many feel is what opened us up to what we're dealing with now-and of course europe as well. we removed it so as not to lose ground to them, and now look at where we all are. brilliant. govt is supposed to be of the people, not just the people who have money to buy their way to becoming 'too big to fail'. there's a reason rules were in place to keep banks from crossing the lines they've since crossed.

Greenspan and Rubin are largely responsible for getting rid of glass/steagall under Clinton. Just wanted to give credit where credit is due.

The government's (Barney Frank/Maxine Waters in particular) belief everyone should own a home and not just bailing out but backing Freddie and Fannie coupled with mortgages featuring 'no money down, money back at signing' or 'refinance now for 125% of your home's value' the bubble was blown up to the point it had no where to go but burst.

The mortgages Citibank put together that caused the fine should have put numerous people in jail for lengthy sentences. Martha Stewart goes away for under a 100K and these people did 100s and 100s of millions?

Then when you have a President, campaigning for a second term, going out to colleges and instead of offering a chicken dinner and ride to the polls is simply handing/throwing out the 'peoples' money and forgiving debts owed to the 'people' saying I need your vote, we're screwed twice.

i think heloc's have had more affect than anything. people were living on a line of credit that dried up immediately when the housing bubble burst. then they were really underwater and unable to pay their debts, since they no longer had equity-that probably didn't really exist to begin with. for many, a house payment is lower than rent, so i don't really buy that people couldn't make their payments. no bank is going to loan you if you don't have the income it would take.
between arm's and heloc, people had just bitten off more than they could chew. then there were banks, such as the one listed above, who sold toxic mortgages and then made more money banking on that loss. what did that do to the duped buyers who thought they were getting something they weren't?

as for naming names of pols, that's a waste of time. the majority of both parties backed getting rid of those rules that were there for a reason. they were bought and paid for, or just stupid.

Yes, because if you can't pay back your student loan in 25 years, too bad! Keep paying, even if you are using your Social Security funds to do so And yes, Dell, that sure sounds like voter bribery to me: "In 25 years, if your student loan isn't paid back because there are not enough jobs that pay enough for you to pay it back, we may forgive the remaining outstanding amount under certain narrow circumstances which includes your having paid for most of it already and being current on your payments"

Nobody can deliberately or ignorantly mischaracterize the truth or facts like you, Dell.

Better we have the utterly moronic Republican candidates Romney, Cain and Perry, all with "tax plans" that give massive tax breaks to the wealthy, while increasing the taxes on everyone else, even those too poor to now have to pay taxes.
