So...let me get this straight...capitalists think they're saving us all from BUDDHISM?
Same as the dick Cheney.
You can think what you want to about the Occupy Wall Street situation, but please don't come mommy-whining to me if you suddenly lose your job, your home, your life savings, and your future because the mega-wealthy pay no taxes--and suddenly--SURPRISE!!!---you do.
Love, THE MAN

Educate yourself.
Love, The Man who Fucked Your Mom Last Night
Being successful and driving a nice car should not be cause for enmity, no more than your dreads.
Open your mind and figure out what you want. Do you want that man's wealth and feel entitled to it? If you're given your piece of that am I free to hate you and all you apparently represent?
On the other hand, white people with dreads aren't generally that great, either.
Why is it so important to "march in lines, btw"? I doubt that Middle Americans think the Occupy Movement isn't UPTIGHT enough.
I'll just say my piece here and leave it.
Playing into the stereotype of the unwashed entitled hippie is going to get them exactly nowhere with middle america. I'm sympathetic, shit. But the people the occupiers need to convince before anything changes are cheering on the cops right now. They need to think about the image they're presenting to the world.
This is their chance while the world watches. They shouldn't continue to squander it. Believe it or not, I'm trying to help the cause here. The occupiers are losing the image game big time (coming off worse than the tea partiers? Wow, just wow).
And as to the rapes, the first 3 links on a google search turns up these articles:

Good luck.
Can't wait for the checks to start rolling in.
Love this part. When people are rambling on about what occupiers are doing wrong and how dumb they are, please refer back to this line and remember they are volunteers!
You don't get paid to occupy and it is being done from the heart.
Find something else to criticize and have some respect.
Damned Lex Lutherans and their fancy cars and insatiable need for non-fat extra cream lattes.
Occupy this!
I didn't realize job security and my tuition not being raised every quarter was asking for a handout. My bad.
Don't like my bigoted dehumanizing views? Well, I thought you people were tolerant and thought everything was relative. I can't believe you people are so narrow minded and elitist that you can't tolerate my right to hate you.
You are so immature, once you grow up you will see I am right and that everyone is against you and you don't deserve to breathe. You have to earn it with hard labor breaking rocks by hand or cheating someone else into doing it for you.
You young people are all alike, cute hipsters! All of your opinions and hopes and dreams are so small and pathetic and will be swiftly crushed in adulthood! NOTHING is GUARANTEED but your destiny to TASTE MY BOOT!
Idiots like you are largely why the U.S. is in such deep economic shit right now.
Thank you not at all.
Given the ridiculously immature content of your latest eruptions of exaggerated hysteria, I'd say I was in the U.S. Navy long before you were even a twinkle in your parents' eyes.
You're the one getting my vote for "unbalanced", Bubba-Troll. Just FYI, but you might want to check the chemical content of your breakfast cereal.
BTW, all of the anti-OWS folks have focused intently on the "Xbox-playing, iPad-using" etc etc protesters. I've only spent a little time at the Occupy Minneapolis protest but I didn't see any technology outside of basic cell phones. Almost no smartphones of any kind. In all of the pictures I've seen of the protests nationwide I haven't seen more than a couple laptops of any kind. Where do people get this idea that the protesters are hauling around all this expensive technology?
As for those who imply that OWS protesters are the hipster Apple equivalent of The Borg with their amazing technology. I had a momentary laps where I thought mindless teabagger fucks actually needed to see any evidence at all to spread their ignorant slander about people they disagree with. I totally forgot that if Limbaugh says OWS protesters have a USB port in the back of their neck then they do. If Beck says they're all carrying around $12,000 worth of high tech equipment then that's fact.
My apologies to anyone I might have confused.
How about instead of writing an Anon post to bitch about someone who sees things differently, you start a conversation with that person? Maybe exchange points of view in a brief but intelligent manner? How else do you expect to gain support and sympathy for a cause?
@35 You don't have to validate yourself to that shitbird.
@44 McGee: I know, but thanks for the support. Here's hoping we finally shut the shitbird up.
It actually sounds more like @4 is actually criticizing Occupy Wall Street / Occupy Westlake, etc. instead of wanting, needing, or admitting he needs help financially and /or occupationally.
Good luck! He sounds like a hard nut to crack.
India has an amazing anti-corruption movement underway, headed up by a charismatic and intelligent leader who is able to bring public concerns straight to parliament...we need someone like this: http://www.annahazare.org/
Right now, the U.S. is divided into special interest groups.
Crooks on wall street and crooks using 'social justice' to scam government money are both having a huge laugh over the people living at street level fighting over bogus left/right crap. The guy driving the Lexxus with the Wall Street Journal at his side and the idiot driving the Subaru Outback with all the Obama/Biden stickers on the bumper look equally ridiculous.
Live cheap, keep your eye on the horizon and survive. Oh, and I couldn't care less about some clown in the coffee shop line, let alone the eavesdropping holier-than-though busy body criticizing him 'cause I make my own coffee at home and save a ton of cash. Keeps me from having to listen to either of your guy's bullshit.
You self righteous clowns go hug a Republican, 'cause you're both cut from the same cloth.
Meanwhile, I'm making one of your statements my creed: Live cheap, keep my eye on the horizon and survive.
Who the fuck (besides the late Leona Helmsley and her dog) needs a Mega-Mansion, anyway?
Stop whining.
Chances are, you'll never meet or have a conversation with the 1%. They live lives incomparable to what we know - and apparently they're doing a good job of driving the wedge between middle and lower class.
it seems a shame to judge people for making a smart purchase.
leasing is also a very affordable way to drive a new lexus...with a bit of skill,myou can get one for 300 per month.
And no, I'm not being judgmental because you found a bargain. I did, too, and he still runs like a champ after all these years. More power to both of us, yes?
Now if they could only stop drooling and picking their noses, bypass the ridiculous
"all caps" button, learn how to spell, use grammar correctly in their pathetically irrelevant rants, and actually make a valid point, wouldn't THAT be nice?
But I guess one can't expect too much out of clueless, prehistorically misogynist cavemen.
Sigh.
