#OccupyWallstreet

[davmat787]

In case anyone in P&N wasn't aware, airdata complained to the mods because I quoted him in my signature. I had the signature for several weeks before being notified by a moderator that I had to change it immediately. That's why he's a crybaby. Can't even live with his own words.

I did not know that, does he also have you on ignore? :sneaky:

Sounds like exactly like an entitled brat that would support this shit. Sounds just like an occupier.

Let's just say that everybody who is out protesting @ #occupy events are rapists.

Post #2993 in this thread. 😉

While I find him to be a baby about most things, you did just quote him out of context.

 

[bfdd]

airdata, you censor your detractors. you're a pussy. that's all there is to it. who cares if he's going to quote you and call you a stupid bitch, he looks like an idiot and you can well enough simply not respond to them. imo there's no reason to put someone on ignore besides being a delicate little flower, aka a pussy.

nebor, you did take what airdata said out of context and I too had thought it was a weird sig.

I just googled this word and wtf? You expect people to have to go to college and major in literature to play fair on an internet message board? 🙄

 

[Nebor]

nebor, you did what airdata thought weird.

I don't follow.

 

[bfdd]

don't follow.

well i generally don't, but thanks for the advice.

ps i went digging to find this article so i could post it. this is why change won't happen just asking the government to do it and why bitching about D vs R in any sort of contest of "evil" is stupid. They, our political "elite", don't give a fuck.

Corzine should be dead right now, the fact he isn't really puts a dampening on my hope in Americans.

Which is exactly why OWS focusing solely on Washington D.C. is bound to fail. In order to have any chance of really reforming our corrupt system, OWS has to gain widespread attention across America. Going to DC may get political junkies fired up, but most Americans will ignore it entirely.

And yes, they may well fail anyway. The corrupt status quo is heavily stacked against real change. They've unleashed the right wing Swift Boat Liars to smear OWS, the mainstream (i.e. corporate) media has a vested interest in preserving the status quo, and obviously the wealthy elite won't change their greedy ways out of the goodness of their hearts. Only time will tell whether OWS has legs or not.

I would think High School freshmen English would be plenty to teach you a common word like "context". As far as playing fair is concerned, that's not something you learn in class. That's a character issue you learn -- or don't -- as you grow up. You either believe it's important to be honest and accurate when you interact with others ... or you're a slime ball. The choice is yours.

Edit: And lest this still be unclear to you, using a partial quote to make it seem someone said the opposite of what he clearly meant is the act of a slime ball. See Mitt Romney if you need more information.

Edit 2: Just for the record, sobbing about it when you get called on your dishonesty makes you the real crybaby.

Whether he ends up doing real jail time or not will be an interesting test for just how corrupt our system is.

uh... No it's why focusing on DC would succeed. Demand their heads, demand they step down. That's something the "99%" could get behind. Look at the approval ratings for those dipshits. The answer to our problems is FORCING them to act in our interest or getting rid of them and handling it ourselves. Yelling at bankers isn't going to do shit, at least get the balls to go off some mother fuckers. Take it to the top, make it known that those kind of actions won't stand and if they are repeated their heads will fall. Or is that to dangerous? Wannabe revolutionaries to busy idolizing their tshirts of Che.

The people that back and participate in #Occupy have too much invested in the politicians that support them. They can't afford to see those politicians removed.

good time to be a cop right now, soooo much OT.

Good luck to you, i hope everything goes smoothly and peacefully. Hopefully the large percentage of transient and homeless people that were there have found better,safer shelter.

There was some decent stuff going on at Occupy LA, though I might be slightly bias being from LA county and all.

 

[airdata]

Please show me where the use of pepper spray is banned by the Geneva convention.

You see, what I posted was not an opinion piece, or a lame joke or anything.

I posted a relevant interview with a guy who has much more experience with pepper spray than anybody on the board.

THE PEPPER SPRAY EXPERT
Kamran Loghman is a nationally recognized expert in federal court proceedings regarding chemical exposure. He has authored various technical manuals some of which are the basis for training at FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center), FBI Academy, US Border Patrol, Secret Service and the US Air Force. Kamran has appeared nationally in numerous courts of law as an expert witness on cases with high media exposure.

5. Each State Party undertakes not to use riot control agents as a method of warfare.

So, now that I have taken my time to post sources to my previous post, do you have anything else to post?

Sorry, I did not realize English was not your first language. Contex is the events surrounding something. For example, if you read someone saying the British had troops in Russia fighting against the Russians, you would wonder what is going on. Taken in the context of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War in1918 we see a very different event.

Context is king. Taking things out of context on purpose is either trolling or stupidity.

The US was using riot control methods on protestors. There was no war involved, so what you just posted is irrelevant.

You forgot the unions. The unions will never allow the politicians they have bought to be protested by the movement they fund.

nebor, you did take what airdata said out of context and I too had thought it was a weird sig.

Well firstly, reported. I've been banned for lesser things than calling people a pussy when you don't even know what you're talking about.

Secondly, I'm old enough to not go around calling people a pussy or other such names. Your post has absolutely no merit. There's no censoring that has gone on.

I even see a few people who admit it was taken out of context. I don't want my user name in some idiots signature. If he's dumb enough to not have seen the sarcasm in that post, his posts aren't worth reading. He's either too dumb to understand simple sarcasm or a troll.

Look at people like Jowo... i have him on ignore and for good reason. Go look at his last 10 posts. Tell me if any of them are relevant to the tread. Name calling, one liner posts, and simple ignorance. There's not even an opposing viewpoint. He is simply a troll. If none of his posts are relevant to the thread or any discussion... that's a troll. Why should I not put a troll on ignore?

I post a video interview from a guy who developed pepper spray and trained people how to use it, certified them, etc. Nobody of an opposing viewpoint is even interested in commenting on the video.

Nobody responds to this stuff. They name call, try to change the subject or simply ignore any post that they have no valid retort to.

Please see my previous post. I can't spend all my time holding your hand.

Go watch the youtube interview I posted a page or 2 back where they were talking about how pepper spray is banned during war time. It's simply a factual statement.

Your reply is by definition ignorant since you obviously have posted without even seeing the post that was being discussed.

The statement you posted is very explicit:

"Each State Party undertakes not to use riot control agents as a method of warfare. "

Your view that riot control agents cannot be used inside a country if that country is engaged in warfare in a foreign land is absurd. It neither says nor implies such a thing.

It means you cannot use pepper spray a weapon of war. You know this, so why do you say otherwise?
