Well, I can only say that sentiment is not new. There have been people on the left that have always felt that way. But no rally or march based on that kind of thinking was able to stick. I don't know what it's like in Chicago, but this has been going on en masse for three weeks in NYC. People instinctively try to pick out and caricature mass movements that make them feel uncomfortable. It's easy to do because any huge crowd protesting something is going to have a range of fringe elements. But once a movement reaches a tipping point with volume, the only fuel that sustains it has to be legitimate. I still think this is fundamentally different from the Arab Spring phenomenon. But I'm no longer convinced this is a leftist Tea Party: i.e., the motivated, principled contingent of a political ideology that's always been there.
Don't worry. I think you're a clueless douche And no blogs, son. A little formal education, application and analysis. You might wanna try it. Much better than walking around blind.
For just one time let's have a thread that does not become a flame war. Bottom line, the Arab Spring is in America, it took till October, but it is here. We really need to find out what these protesters really want.
Say what? The way things use to be is low unemployment, a respectable GDP, and somewhat fiscal responsibility. What you & these occupiers want is more redistribution of wealth.
Well the left is taking ownership of it and in many cases financing it. I don't think it's all left wing and I don't care if it is or isn't. But like I've said, i talk to these guys every day. I read their signs. I listen to their speeches. Most of them are socialists and I'm not saying that as an insult. They just don't want a private economy. The reason this movement is not going to go anywhere is because they can't articulate what they want or if they even knew, how to go about getting it. The one thing I know they are not doing is looking for a job. But that's another story.
We can go into the weekend agreeing. It's just too beautiful a day to be pissing and moaning. Can you believe this weather? Could stay like this year round would suit me just fine. Have a good weekend.
It is NOT an arab spring. Those kids were willing to die for their freedom and many of them did. These kids would run screaming if you even took their i-phone away from them. Let's keep things real RCG. I agree, I want to know what they want and I'm not saying they don't have valid issues, but let's not make them out to be something they are not. The word sacrifice is no where to be found on their i-phones.
Yeah yeah cozing up to me so I don't forget about that dinner I might owe you. And no, I cannot believe this weather. Perfect day for a protest!
Kid? Wow. Good one. I almost shit myself laughing..... You sound like a fag with that pretty please and a bow on top. Is that how you dress up for the wifey? Against my better judgment, here ya go. Remember, ponzi schemes are a good thing. Apparently, so is exporting wealth to other countries. Any other pearls of wisdom for us?
If that is the case then simply disburse the crowd. Yet, our police are afraid to do so. Why is that?
