And they don't represent me. They are worth less than the crap out of my ass. I spit on them, lazy drug addicted losers.

Because a man with 28 thousand posts on this forum is clearly very involved in his job on a day to day basis.

Actually that is your problem not the protesters.

At least over here they don't know what they are protesting about, some say that they want capitalism to be abolished, others say that they want jobs in their field even thou

gh they graduated in Marketing Engineering or some other dead end course. From what I read its much the same the world over.

Those idiots aren't the 99% either, I for one don't identify myself with their sorry finger waving hippie unwashed asses (seriously? what is it with all the hand waving nonsense? they just reminde me of mimes wich is just another reason to mock them), and I doubt that anyone that actually wen't to college to take a job significant education will either!

Yes you're right all of them are stupid lazy dirty people who just want a free ride. None of them have any points worth mentioning. There's nothing wrong at all in fact the system is working fine as it is! Besides that they all just picked the wrong major in college. Stupid selfish college graduates always wanting jobs in their field to pay off crippling student debt. I hope someone just makes them all take a bath that'll fix the problem. I mean seriously they do things that I find silly so therefore clearly their ideas have zero merit and absolutely none of them could possibly be normal.

SoCal Street Cart Vendors Hurting After ‘Occupy’ Group Splatters Blood, Urine
November 7, 2011 2:14 PM
Reporting Tom Reopelle
Fall FashionSAN DIEGO (CBS) — A pair of Southland street cart vendors who were forced to shut down their businesses after “Occupy” protesters vandalized their carts are hoping to get some help from local residents.

KNX 1070′s Tom Reopelle reports a fundraiser in the Gas Lamp district in San Diego on Monday night is aimed at helping two vendors get back on their feet.

The coffee and hot dog carts were located in Civic Center Plaza, the same location as the Occupy San Diego protesters.

That group first settled in to the plaza Oct. 7 and set up a tent city which has since twice been taken down by police.

Coffee cart owner Linda Jenson and hot dog cart operators Letty and Pete Soto said they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators, but when they stopped, the protesters became violent.

And according to one city councilman, bodily fluids were used in the attacks.

“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio.

The damages will likely require at least a complete cleaning if not a replacement of the cart covers, DeMaio said.

In addition to the attacks, the vendors also said they recently received death threats.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to help the two business owners.

After a relatively peaceful start, the “Occupy” movement has sparked violent clashes with police in Oakland and recently saw protesters push an elderly woman down a flight of stairs in D.C.

**Jihadin**

Well, I could get behind that. It would be fun to get a couple of those together and just cut loose from a good couple hundred feet apart.

Willing participants only though.

LOL see. Lets face it though. Majority of the older people will move back and the young kids will move forward just to get hit with the biggest super soaker in their life. It does have an appeal cause if I was on the otherside I have waterballoons just so I can say I was the underdog...till I'm nailed for 15ft across pavement. Then I hold up a sign that say "You are the Da Winner"

Interestingly, you seem to post a lot here too...

Don't bring work in this cause some jobs will show the disparity in pay to us all.

Damn Frazz....they're going OWS on you in a bit since you mention "foreclosure" which is connected to real estate and housing market

Right this is a strawman. You are not in the one percent you "as a banker" are not what they are talking about. However when you spend say a million dollars to help get a Congressman elected. Then you go and have a special meeting with that congressman after he is elected. In which you both decide bankers with circumstances exactly like yours shouldn't have to pay taxes then you'd be just scratching the surface.

In short you are the 99 percent.

And they don't represent me. They are worth less than the crap out of my ass. I spit on them, lazy drug addicted losers

Wow thank god you posted that. I mean I was just gonna try and be reasonable and try and listen to some of the protestor's more cognizant points but you convinced me. I mean bam right out of the gate you let me know they're worth less than the crap out of your ass. Now granted I've never seen the crap out of your ass but judging by this post you've made it must be pretty bad. Then you tell me that you spit on them. Which I think most will agree is a bold move. Both for my 3 month old (who spits on me all the time... well to be fair she spits on her mother too she must be lazy as well) and bankers everywhere. Then you wait till the very end for your coupe de grace. I mean clearly they're all addicted to drugs no "banker" could afford cocaine. What bank do you work for? I must transfer my funds by wire poste haste!

Yes, I agree.

I suppose I should have been clearer. The American Left has existed for most of the history of the country as a part of mainstream political thought. It includes the anti-Federalists, Progressives (of the Wilson variety), and modern-day Democrats. However, until fairly recently, the mainstream political left did not include Marxism as part of its philosophy. It's after the '60s that Marxism (and the violence inherent therein) became part of our political reality. Before that it was largely a fringe group.

Where did the blood come from? The urine I can understand, but who just carries around blood?

Yes. A country which is conservative left wing, I admit, but still conservative-- it's not like the place has embraced civil liberties and other forms of liberalism.

So you deny your own definition, which is neither of these?

Live in denial all you want, but you're still so very wrong.

I know you want to hide behind "my side never does anything wrong", but in the end it's still just hiding.

Of course we do.

It was actually publicized in the WSJ.

There's no reason to presume that the survey in question is representative, given that it was conducted without randomization, and is therefore highly susceptible to experimenter bias.

The most hilarious thing, though, is that the guy selling his poll in that article tries to pass off his numbers as the results of a random sample.

Our findings probably represent the first systematic random sample of Occupy Wall Street opinion

Sorry, but you can't just walk through a crowd asking people to fill out a survey and call it random.

Personally I have to wonder, given the reports we had of criminals and druggies deciding to infest the various camps, if that was one of them, or perhaps a person intending to make the Occupy Whatever protests look bad?

Neither would surprise me given the amount of raw irrational hate that this forum alone can generate for the movement.

I really don't understand the connection between american marxists groups (a distinct minority in any time frame) and violence. Abroad certainly, but historically in america the've been pretty tame.

I would like to point out that it's interesting to note that in Wilson's era both Democrats AND Republicans laid claim to the title Progressive.

People with a point to make, two years ago at Arizona State University a Palestinian student protester spashed blood onto an Army ROTC cadet (of North African Muslim decent, oh delicious irony) and told him the blood of Palestine was on him.

Wilson might well be one, though its always difficult to say regarding that type of speculation. I'd also dispute the notion that progressives have been responsible for the worst racism and infringements of liberty during the 20th century, though I suspect that you wouldn't accept Southern Democrats of the early 20th century as conservatives.

You should probably brush up on your world political history, Moldova hasn't been run by a communist government, in the Soviet sense, since 1994.

In part because the parties weren't organized along strict ideological lines, but also because progressivism underwrote much of the political discourse of the time due to rapid American growth and technological innovation; ie. many people of different backgrounds felt that the nation needed to adapt politically.
