Shwa Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Or their list of "demands": Most of them sound pretty reasonable as a place to start even though they appear to be anti-CPC. Quote
jacee Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) They're making demands OF government. Not overthrowing it. " corporate filth" is not government ... is it? No ... they are not terrorists. Just curious ... are you that scared of them ... or just another provocateur? Edited November 7, 2011 by jacee Quote
WWWTT Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 The comments by “Rick” for example on numerous threads we have relating to the topic, for example a few pages back: And the comparison between the Arab Spring and the occupy movement made by yourself: Let me ask you something,would you consider an election sweep from an opposition party a "overthrow" of the government? Would this result involve the use of violence as in Libya. Rick hasn't said anything like this. And my comment was a question not a statement. You did a good job in finding the list you have provided!I'm immpressed! However this is not proof of a violent overthrow WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

WWWTT Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 Impression of which claim? That the Arab Spring was about replacing governments? Or, that there were "occupy" protesters who likened their cause to the Arab Spring? The overall impression of the OCCUPY protests have not used violence.

Shady Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I love it, they're 911 truthers!!! Too funny!!! Anyways, who are they to be making demands in the first place? Canada has to pull out of NATO? Why, because they say so? Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Most of them sound pretty reasonable as a place to start even though they appear to be anti-CPC. Why the hell would losers in Vancouver want an independent investigation of a terrorist crime in another country? It would be like me demanding an independent investigation into the Air India bombing, including why it took 25 years the first time! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Shwa Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I love it, they're 911 truthers!!! Too funny!!! They're everywhere... Anyways, who are they to be making demands in the first place? Canadian citizens. Canada has to pull out of NATO? Why, because they say so? You aren't familiar with negotiation are you? Quote
Guest Derek L Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Most of them sound pretty reasonable as a place to start even though they appear to be anti-CPC. Prior to an election, does the NDP (for example) release a “list of demands” or a policy platform? Quote
Shwa Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Prior to an election, does the NDP (for example) release a “list of demands” or a policy platform? In recent years that has become unclear. Quote
Guest Derek L Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Let me ask you something,would you consider an election sweep from an opposition party a "overthrow" of the government? No. Would this result involve the use of violence as in Libya You likened the two...... Rick hasn't said anything like this. He’s opined (in one of the several threads) about a “grassy knoll” solution for the Vancouver mayoral race. And my comment was a question not a statement.You did a good job in finding the list you have provided!I'm immpressed! However this is not proof of a violent overthrow What about those Guy Fawkes masks they wear? What’s their significance?……….And please don’t say that Natalie Portman movie……..They aspire to relive the Guy Fawkes experience? Didn’t end to well for him…. Quote
Shady Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 They're everywhere... It speaks volumes that that's one of their demands. Negative volumes. When are they demanding an investigation into the moon landing? Canadian citizens. Well, I demand that Canada stays in NATO. And I represent a bigger percantage of Canadians than they do. Quote
Shwa Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 It speaks volumes that that's one of their demands. Negative volumes. When are they demanding an investigation into the moon landing? I can't wait until we read the demands when they do Occupy Vulcan (AB) Well, I demand that Canada stays in NATO. And I represent a bigger percantage of Canadians than they do. You do? Cite. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 No wonder the list of OCCUPY demands was suppressed...makes them look dumber than before. The smartest things to demand would be Arctic tents and a Whopper with cheese! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Shwa Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 No wonder the list of OCCUPY demands was suppressed...makes them look dumber than before. The smartest things to demand would be Arctic tents and a Whopper with cheese! Or the vote for women. Can you imagine? Quote

The smartest things to demand would be Arctic tents and a Whopper with cheese! They already “occupied” a BK in Oakland………….That ought to learn those evil 1%er franchise owners and their bootlicking employees Quote
Michael Hardner Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 No wonder the list of OCCUPY demands was suppressed...makes them look dumber than before. I concur. This list of demands is unworkable and in some cases crazy. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
g_bambino Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 The overall impression of the OCCUPY protests have not used violence. True. But that doesn't negate the fact that a good few involved in the "occupy" movement did liken themselves and their cause to the so-called Arab Spring. Quote
dre Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 True. But that doesn't negate the fact that a good few involved in the "occupy" movement did liken themselves and their cause to the so-called Arab Spring. Thats ok. Nothing wrong with the Arab Spring. Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger
g_bambino Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Thats ok. Nothing wrong with the Arab Spring. Nothing wrong with the intent in the context in which it emerged, no. But, again, the worth of the Arab Spring isn't at issue here; it's the "occupy" protesters who liken their cause with the Arab Spring. Quote
Wilber Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Some of the demands seem quite reasonable. Unfortunately, the loonier ideas will be the focus of attention rather than the saner ones. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
dre Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Nothing wrong with the intent in the context in which it emerged, no. But, again, the worth of the Arab Spring isn't at issue here; it's the "occupy" protesters who liken their cause with the Arab Spring. I still dont see why thats an issue. If you look at how the Arab Spring started it actually IS quite similar. The origional concerns were mostly economic. In Tunisia there had been protests similar to Occupy for years before anything actually came of it. Quote I question things because I am human.

g_bambino Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 If you look at how the Arab Spring started it actually IS quite similar. The origional concerns were mostly economic. But the circumstances were entirely different. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Terrorists and kidnappers make demands....protesters petition the existing government to seek a redress of well developed grievances. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
