cybercoma Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 You said the middle class is disappearing. Are they gone? Quote
Guest Derek L Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Actually, more of their salaries are paid by the 1%. Exactly, and it makes me wonder why the Occupiers haven’t occupied affluent neighbourhoods yet…..you know, where the 1%ers live…….I know they marched through one in New York, but didn’t stay……Or better yet, to further reach the rest of the 99%, why aren’t they going through the heart of suburbia Quote
jacee Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) They're not supposed to incite violence though or to brandish weapons as they are alleged to have done in Quebec. Yes that's right. And they didn't blend in very well, being the only ones doing so! And wearing police issue boots didn't help either. They may as well have been wearing dunce caps. The Black Bloc'rs at Toronto G20 were highly disciplined, and outmanoevred police completely, And the police thoroughly humiliated themselves. And as I said, OCCUPY agreed to use no Black Block tactics, because protesters can't tell them from police provocateurs. Ergo, police provocateurs have no cover, would likely incite a riot, and would be an extremely stupid move, imo. As an observer, that's my sense. I also noticed that the Vancouver and Victoria Mayors are still talking and moving very carefully. And the Mayors will cause more problems and solve NONE if they try to physically remove the protesters. It isn't gonna happen. The right-wing hardline "let's you and him fight" chickenshit brigade will just have to chew their own arms off or something because there's going to be no violence here except that caused by the state against the people. And people other than right-wing provocateurs have something to say about that. Edited November 7, 2011 by jacee Quote

jacee Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) An article about those barbaric animals at Zucotti Park http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/s-hard-animals-occupy-wall-street-zuccotti-park-luxury-a-warm-office-article-1.972785?localLinksEnabled=false The entire city is just starting to be convinced that these crowds are going to change things and forever. Still, the people you thought would be first to tell the country all about this are news people. But they have stayed seated in the office. ... Instead, they’re telling another kind of story. The New York Post had a front-page headline on Thursday for the city: “Enough! Post Editorial. Mr. Mayor, it is time to reclaim Zuccotti Park — and New York City’s dignity.” The paper’s ownership comes out of Australia and LondonEngland. The owner is Rupert Murdoch, who is friendly with New York politicians who fall down when they get a glimpse of his money. On Friday, the New York Post runs a front page that screams: “Occupy Wall Street animals go wild. ...! Umm ... do they really think New Yorkers are that stupid? Edited November 7, 2011 by jacee Quote

Bonam Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Takes back highway from whom? Probably from the people trying to commute to their jobs. Quote
Shady Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Probably from the people trying to commute to their jobs. Exactly right. Quote
GostHacked Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Exactly right. You mean the bumper to bumper traffic that goes so slow you are better of walking to work? Quote
Shady Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 You mean the bumper to bumper traffic that goes so slow you are better of walking to work? Sometimes. It's worse when you have a thousand people making so-called protesting and making things worse. I still don't get how incoveniencing the rest of the 99% hepls the cause. Quote

I still don't get how incoveniencing the rest of the 99% hepls the cause. If they're too stupid and lazy to have jobs, might as well prevent other people from getting to theirs, too. No tolerance here for idiots who block public roads. The so called "occupiers" have lost all credibility the last few days. Between the Oakland violence, the smashed store windows, the drug overdose in Vancouver, and blocking the roads, things have degenerated too far for anyone to take them seriously. The protesters have never represented even 1% of the population, let alone 99%. Edited November 7, 2011 by Bonam Quote

Government taxes to pay for the roads. License plate fees. Sticker renewal fees. Drivers license initial and renewal fees Proof of ownership (transferring ownership is also a fee) Proof of insurance. Remember, driving is a privilege, not a right. Quote

Other than inconveniencing mostly other 99 percenters trying to get to work and back. Quote

GostHacked Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 And what does that have to do with price of tea in China? China owns a great deal of the US debt. So it can affect the price of tea in China. I'm still trying to figure out who exactly they "took back" the highways from. Other than inconveniencing mostly other 99 percenters trying to get to work and back. I'll try to be less obtuse next time. Quote

GostHacked Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 No problem. Just let me know when you find out who they took back the highway from. When you let me know who it was they took the road from. Sorry, being more obtuse. Quote
