hahaha those demands

[Tyson ultima]

those demands made me lol hardcore

[~kitty~]

Man, they love to complain about rich people a whole lot. "Oh, if this keeps up one man will own the entire earth hurr" "IMPEACH OBAMA LUL"

EDIT: I'm actually paraphrasing and they didn't say hurr or lul.

[qqwref]

My god. That list of demands was HILARIOUS.

[bmah]

please forgive me for borrowing 65 trillion

p.s. no refunds

[styroflex-pseudo-man]

he he ha ha

[midnghtraver]

I would have smashed my foot into all of those cops' faces.

EDIT: "Demand four: Free college education." lol wut

"Admin note: This is not an official list of demands. This is a forum post submitted by a single user and hyped by irresponsible news/commentary agencies like Fox News and Mises.org. This content was not published by the OccupyWallSt.org collective, nor was it ever proposed or agreed to on a consensus basis with the NYC General Assembly. There is NO official list of demands."

this is not actual proof that reincarnate does not do good research before he goes spouting off on his being-a-successful-businessman=being-intelligent spiel, per se, but a very good indicator. great job linking a forum thread as a source and deeming it as valid information.

now, here are some more videos of those dirty hippies who don't know how the economy works getting arrested by innocent cops who fly off the handle at work just like ordinary people do. your words not mine.

^this ones for all of you who think these assaults are provoked. you can plainly see that the officer attempts to submit the occupant from a stand still, and proceeds to beat him upon failure.
here's why corporate media gives us a bad rap (you would too):

and here is my favorite and one of the most recent:

the man pinned under the scooter is not even an occupant, rather an observer from the lawyers guild.

and lastly, here is my shameless plug; i am an organizer for my own city's occupation (Occupy Fort Worth,) and here we are on the march. my dirty, no-job-having hippie self is the one setting the pace

begin harassment for my being socially conscious.

I will say that these protests have shown me wrong for one thing though. It was a discussion I got into a while ago about the current economic times. I was saying that no matter what the numbers show, the current recession isn't anywhere near what happened in the Great Depression, and I was like 'there's no shanty towns on the streets, unemployment's not as bad as it was back then' etc. Well, here's the shanty towns.

And yes Kitty, I was saying the protestor's weren't really doing anything wrong. How do you think a protest is successful, but sitting on my front lawn with a sign? Huge difference between blocking traffic and assaulting someone. (Wait, that would be pretty ****ing creepy, whole blocks of suburbia with people sitting silently on their front lawn, signs in the air, staring at you as you drove by.)

Isn't it great when the news shows politicians arguing points that protestors aren't making? Yes, people who make as much money as my parents pay a ton of taxes...they are upper-middle class, they aren't Irving or McCain. Ah, good ol' Irving, who gets taxpayers to pay for the tree-planting that they'll harvest in 50 years, because it clearly can't afford to grow its own capital or remain a stable business without my 50 bucks.

oh boy just realized that i DO want to keep on living on this planet realized that i can get under the top 1000 D:

yes aldentron i know how to read

there is no "official" list of demands because the entire thing is one disorganized mess of ignorance. i linked that post to show what kind of people we're dealing with, here. In fact, i said that explicitly: "In case anyone here had any doubts as to just how ignorant and hilarious these protestors are"

wall street made the problems worse, yes, but a lot of those guys got ****ed in this, too. if you want to REALLY blame someone, blame the anti-intellectual, anti-science, god-fearing, ignorant, average ****tard citizen who keeps voting incompetent lunatics into office, and blame individuals who keep insisting that they should be able to finance things they cannot realistically afford.

at the end of the day, everyone is to blame for the mess we're in. tragedy of the commons.

Quote for freaking truth.

[Reincarnate]

granted, fox news in particular is egregious and should almost never be taken seriously. getting your news from the tv is a surefire way to ensure you never really learn what's going on. yes, some cops out there are being douchebags (we went over this earlier). i agree with the sentiment of occupy wall street but not its details. our country is neck-deep in shit, but yelling at wall street isn't going to solve anything. it just won't. waste of time. they aren't the main problem.

most of these protestors are idiots. they're angry and just want someone to blame, but protesting this way is just embarrassing -- and it does nothing to solve the real issue. it just gives the media more fodder to launch at the uninformed viewer to turn things yet again in favor of the upper .5% come voting time. being right for the wrong reasons (or for incomplete reasons) is not enough.

btw that one video you posted in front of One Liberty Plaza? i was just there the other day. why don't you show the pictures/videos of the guys with the anti-Jewish conspiracy billboards, or the "Wall St hates Muslims" guys? it's complete bullshit. the guy in the video you linked WAS provoking the cops, contrary to what you said.

also lmfao@drama queen "under the scooter." seriously. this is the kind of shit i'm talking about.

i go to wall street daily. even if you're protesting, the cops aren't going to mess with you unless you're trying to make a scene and be a hero for five seconds of fame. it's like a moderator's worst nightmare -- dealing with countless trolls and then filmed every second and being called out on police brutality the moment something starts.

it gets to the point where the police are so on edge and can't trust anyone because at any moment one of those otherwise innocent-looking jackasses is going to pop out from the crowd and do something stupid.

yes, our system is hugely set up in favor of the upper .5%. so actually go do something about it instead of wasting time with this nonsense.

Just to re-iterate the ignorance.

Some of the demands are just plain dumb - one of them talks about the entire world defaulting. -_-

[robertsona]

yes we know the demands are dumb but a list of demands made by a single idiot wall st. protester isn't where the problems with the occupy wall st. movement lie

I read "vomiting" there, and the sentence made just as much sense.
