this is my tally from last week alone
I agree there are those out there who don't fit into the picture of what most of us think the Occupy Movement is all about...
but, I admire those people who have put their lives on hold to make a strong statement about corporate greed in America....
It's sad that there are those who choose to demonstrate by vandalism and disgusting actions.
then distance themselves from the tainted movement, and make their own..Its what I am doing
[doesn't] think this is worth the effort, which is why she removed her earlier comment.
I agree, Iason.. It's gone awry
People are talking and thinking about things in a way that they hadn't been prior to the movement. I thing that we ought to count that as
something that Occupy has brought us.
Also, if
iasonhassanov: forms a new and effective movement, that must be counted as an effect of the Occupy movement
first off...a movement, by definition, starts, rises, and ends...
I am proposing a re-invisioning of america...returning to what made our country great.
since I probally am not going to get my chance to toss tea barrels into the harbor, or anything as poetic as that.Im going to talk to people
first off...never refer to any job as "beneath you" everyone needs a hamburger, their garbage picked up and ditches dug. If you have a job
and are producing something, you are not worthless. We dont need money to make us happy. Money is a tool, and just like working on a car
sometimes you dont have the EXACT tool you need, but you make due.
secondly...stop blaming others for whatever station of life you are in. Rich people describe the fruits of their efforts as equal parts of
effort, skill, hard work, and dedication
the equasion is closer to effort, skill, hard work, dedication, blind luck, oppertunity, random chance, tradegy, and more luck
three...you have the right to an opinon, just like everyone else. Yell about it with like minded individuals where ever you might assemble.
Keep it out of public..if we can have people not talk about religion and sex in public, 3/4 of the problems dissapear overnight...and mind
stop trying to censor, see the above rule and use it to measure what you do. Dont be outraged if there is a manger scene somewhere..also
dont be outraged if there is a naked woman in an art museum.
Do you not see the inherent contradiction between "Keep it out of public" and "stop trying to censor"?
censorship is the complete deletion of an item. Keeping it out of public means that the whole world doesnt have to see it
shakes his head sadly We're fucked.
I believe Bowdlerization is a type of censorship, but that's me splitting hairs on an angel dancing on the head of a pin.
Mr. Hassanov, I would almost agree with your latests posts, with two dissention points. The first is the "keep it out of public". The right
of free speech is about taking it out in public, as long as it is done respectfully. The second is: not all the 1%-ers had to work hard
for their money. Some got it from inheriting. Other from breaking (or working around) the law. Those who make millions from hard work are
those who can see the chances that were given to them, and are ready to give that chance to others, too. Well, more often than not.
But miss Nacht, very few of them SAY all that..but I agree..I dont think anyone is honest(or stupid) enough) to say, "yep, stole it"
and sadly, "respectfully" is a term that has few full examples in todays terms.
Im just for establishing "opinion free zones" wanna build a chapel in your apartment, do it...wanna set up a sex dungeon in your basement.
its the easiest form of "equal" there is
but isnt this exactly the problem? "the public could just avert their eyes" but it doesnt stop with just one person. It becomes 3 people,
then 50 people..how do you avert your eyes to 50 people? Does he have the right to wear this in a private area..of course...
t what ever your political feelings, there is someone out there that far surpasses your leanings
for every WBBC, you have ELF...every black panther, you have a klu klux klansman. All are horrible, and at the base of it, its just "one
