hahaha, the poor fools are still wasting their time on this. I'd say they should get a job and go do something productive instead, but there aren't many jobs to be had, certainly not for useless leftists with no real skills.

Shut up you fat fuck.
 
Here's a gem... At some point you really do have to question what the hell is going on.

what the fuck is that cop doing to a kid in a stroller? also picture could be out of context, maybe the cop was putting up the barrier and the guy decided to push his kid through it? a lot of questions when looking at that picture. like is that old guy wearing converse?

i know hippies is supposed to be a bad word but I cant disrespect people who for whatever reason decide to voice their opposition to the machine. I know its easy to pigeon hole people and blow them off without really giving them any credit but I dont think its justified.

What machine? In their case, it's the facial piercings, 2cm holes in ear lobes and rockstar full sleeves that are preventing them from getting a job, not Lloyd fucking Blankfein. If you had some tangible skills, you'd be at work, rather than laying around on a inflatable mattress made in a country 6000 miles away.

Sweat shops, corporations and capitalism raping everyone... they literally couldn't be a bigger hippie cliché.

Live on a commune in montana if you don't wanna be part "the machine". Sitting around on manufactured goods, eating peanut butter that travelled hundreds of miles from peanut plants to butter because the very same "machine" just makes you a lib douche.

There's other factors at play. Like the fact most of them probably have liberal arts degrees as well which are pretty useless. Like I said before, these people are protesting for something, but they don't even know what. If they're speaking for the "worker" they aren't them. Most of our work has been shipped over seas, those are the jobs where the "worker" probably needs some protections. I don't mind people protesting for what they believe in, but it's hard to take some people seriously when they have no fucking experience in the real world.

While you make a good point there, the fact that they aren't stuck in a career or mortgage allows them to take the risk of going out and protesting. Take spidey for example, he is trapped in his high wage lifestyle and cannot go out and protest the things that greatly upset him. Instead he spends his time here venting his frustrations to us.

Arent they protesting these very things?

The young cannot enter the Labor force because there are no more entry level positions.

Liberal arts degrees are just a degree. If every person on the planet was a engineer we would have no jobs for engineers. We need some people to do arts and music in this country. We arent robots. Now that takes a hellava lot more then a 4 year degree to support yourself off of your creativity and not everyone is up to make that sacrifice but some are and we shouldnt rob them of that because all we see a demand for is math robots.

Its easier to outsource math robots then it is creative professionals and even if those creative people never pick up a guitar or paint brush that very creativity that they have held onto despite everyone trying to stomp it out gives them a far greater ability to think divergently then those with rigid training.

I can't think of a more douchey thing really then having a chip on your shoulder against fellow Americans actually getting off their ass based off out outdated cultural references from a south park cartoon.

Sad how irrelevant you culture warrior 1960s retreads have become in your bubble-boy world of talk radio/mainstream media.

I don't have the slightest idea what the f are you talking about...

60s culture warriors? Huh? I grew up in eastern europe where I'd like to think common sense still exists - making signs against capitalism, because you can only make 30K/year with BA in 16th century english poetry is retarded.

yeah... how often do you have to defend your liberal arts degree JSt0rm? You probably get shit for it all the time. Pro-tip engineers are designers and creators as well. You're totally shitting on the creativity of some people because they may be more into the sciences than others. That's pathetic and you're pathetic.

I completely get why they're there, it's just hard to take people seriously when they don't have the life experience. Wahh I can't get an entry level job. What do they classify as entry level? I can go get an entry level job, you know being a janitor. My leg is in the door, but they wouldn't go that far down would they? Most people aren't willing to dig deep and sacrifice to try and get ahead and until those people who do are out in force protesting it's really just going to be pushed to the sideline.

In other words you defend your douchebaggery by once again broad brushing peoples as being upset because of "personal trivial matters" now.

I guess conservatives are arrogant judgmental sociopaths on a victim tip because they are uneducated, old and have teeny-tiny little dicks then. Fair enough.

This is a solid way of arguing your points, keep it up small fry. 😀

1. I dont have a liberal arts degree.

2. Divergent thinking is linked to the arts. I'm not saying those without arts education are without creativity absolutely but arts education absolutely increases creativity.

3. your leg is in the door as a janitor? Please man, this isnt 1949.

Hard to take anyone serious who do nothing but sit behind a keyboard bitching about others taking at least some action. What a waste of your time, but haters will hate. What else would you guys have in your lives if not to look down on someone for doing shit, unlike you?
 
And again... It's always nice to see all of the people who totally write stuff like this off. They're protesting the people who made your or your parents' life savings, retirement take a total shit.

I think my dad lost something like 30-40% of his retirement money... We all know that it wasn't just some random event that happened without warning.

It's well known fact that there was and still is all sorts of fraud going on... But I guess if you work on wallstreet and make tons of money, it doesn't matter when you commit felonies daily.
 
They aren't all liberal arts degrees. I've heard and read a few interviews with protestors who were industry workers of one type or another and quit their jobs to participate. Others show up for a few days at a time, go back to work, and then come back again. Not all of them obviously, but some of you really need to get off your high horses over the type of people engaging in this protest.
 
I thought leftists were supposed to be claiming the Tea Party was full of rage and hate.... yet here we have the fringe leftists calling their little tantrums "day of rage" and all sorts of stuff. lol @ leftists.

The problem is they are "protesting" the wrong people. They should be doing this at the White House and Congress. They are the ones who allow some of these things to continue and in most cases have created the demand or avenue for the fraud to take place. Frank, Dodd, and those in the past who have no clue and are just doing the bidding of their masters.

Oh well, they can have their little tantrum if it makes them feel better i suppose.
 
Maybe some of you can head down there and personally crack some skulls yourselves? I know most of you are getting a hard-on by thinking of all the people you can harm.
