cybercoma Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Tin foil hat? Hardly. You look at the way this is being framed in the media and consider that the police are more concerned with arresting people exercising their rights than arresting those that damn near brought the US economy to its knees. I think it's pretty overt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty overt. These people with ipads need to look for work instead of feeling the government owes them a living. That's the whole equation. many people are rich because they are hard working and determined. Many people are poor because they are lazy and demand hand-outs. Your tin foil hat is the size of a big top. These protestors are noting more than communist-socialist-union thugs and punks with no ambition.

WWWTT Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I was just wondering. Of all the people here who do not like/approve of OCCUPY,how many of you approved the middle east protests? If so then please explain why you make the distinction.

WWWTT Apples and Oranges………those in the Middle East had no democratic choice and risked death at the hands of their governments…….Here in North America, they risk getting a cold and possibly thrown in jail overnight.

jacee Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 If construction is going to shut down a road completely, there will usually be adequate prior warning and a detour with prominent signage erected to assist drivers and pedestrians. Did our latest mob bother with such courtesy? Cops take care of that. Your tax dollars at work, protecting free speech and commuter traffic.

g_bambino Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 [P]lease explain why you make the distinction. The distinction is so obvious it's embarassing to have to point it out: people protesting in Canadian cities do not live in an oppressive dictatorship.

g_bambino Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Cops take care of that. I wonder how the police could possibly do so. The protest group (in Toronto, anyway) seemed so haphazard, wandering from place to place, deciding on a whim what intersection to block next.

Oh, now you're saying they're not pigs for removing their badges to hide their identities and for assaulting helpless 70 year old Vietnam vets.

lukin Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) Look at this peach: Blame the Jews....was waiting for that one. This lady is a typical left-wing bigot. No other MSM outlet would pick this up. However, they were quick to demonize the whole Tea Party because of a few idiotic signs. The MSM is the problem. No such thing as fair journalism. Thank goodness Fox News shows us what the others don't want us to see. Edited October 18, 2011 by lukin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you're right Derek. Different context in Arab countries. Same underlying issues though. Greed for money driving dictators to imprison and murder dissenters. And it's also true that North American corporations profit from the murder of dissenters, mostly young adults. As someone pointed out a while back, the life we enjoy is subsidized by the bullets killing Arab youth. Greed for resources (money) pays the war industries to help dictators kill people who oppose them, mostly youth. Young people are organizing everywhere in support and to honour their counterparts, the youth of the Arab world who are fighting back against oppressive regimes and the corporations that support them. Apples and oranges ... but the struggle for the Middle East has to continue here. It's really all about greed and power that violate human rights for profit, here there and everywhere. Those in the Middle East would kill to have the option that the 99%ers here choose not to exercise…..To vote. To vote for representatives who put people ahead of profit and power. We'd like that opportunity too. Edited October 18, 2011 by jacee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have had a change of heart over the last couple of days. There's good cops and bad cops, but I don't call cops pigs.We pay their salaries. They work for us. Protecting our rights is their first responsibility. They need a reminder sometimes. The individuals who assaulted people should be fired. They're bad cops. Good cops don't like bad cops either. I want the name(s) of the one(s) who gave the orders, all the way up the line ... and we all know where that line of authority ends ... PMO/PCO Public Inquiry ... when the court cases are over, and the class action suits will be VERY interesting. Taxpayers will be on the hook for those, and we'll want to know EXACTLY who's responsible for that public debt. Who set the context and gave the orders and did the dirty deeds of the largest violation of civil rights in Canadian history ... and I have a special interest in knowing whose idea it was for cops to remove their badge numbers. I reserve 'pigs' for the corporate greed and wealth pigs, the tax evading criminal scumsuckingpigs that I abhor ... like ones who would say that young people should eat rat sht and think it's funny, because they're pi$$ed that 'uppity' young people are protesting corporate greed and wealth scumsuckingpigs. The Toronto police do seem to be on their best behaviour so far. We'll see ... Edited October 18, 2011 by jacee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
