Occupy Wall Street: A Manifesto (from Fail Quotes)

[Ibrahim90]

That seems to be the case, since one of the major points is that they think education is a right.

I don't even know why the hell these people are blaming Wall Street. Wall Street's actions afterall, are a symptom of the real problem, not the problem in and of itself.

after-all, almost all of these grievances can be laid at the feet of the current Government system-an overly massive, unconstitutional bloated corpse. and this crazy talk about America being a Democracy is dangerous. same with Education being a right: that kind of crazy talk/thinking literally almost got me killed this summer. (hint: if it's a right, anybody and everybody can go. even complete idiots)

these people are more appropriate for say, Woodstock or a ganja-hut or something.

Leave it to Wayne Allen Root to make it seem the LP still has its head up the Tea Party's ass and hates this movement

"________ has caused the destruction of our economy and the American way of life!"

Now just fill in the blank with a group of people you don't like, and go protest. Instant activism!

Maybe they're starting to get the idea: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/10/06/500-protestors-occupy-dallas-on-way-to-federal-reserve/

This should probably be in Fail Quotes too: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/10/10/1024469/-But-what-do-they-want



Yeah, so maybe Mr. Tomorrow can tell us what "economic injustice" is actually supposed to mean? And injustice against whom, perpetuated by whom?

[AnCap Dave]

Didn't you know Shane? Economic injustice means rich people have money and they don't, therefore it is injustice.

The sad part is some people actually believe that.

Yeah.  I go from empathy to sadness and shame when I hear of stuff like that; it doesn't help that the student I heard that from called himself an "Obama/Bernanke" supporter...

Funny. I think I fell into about 5 of those categories. No wonder I got beat up in public school. :-P

[Gumba Masta]

Bonus points if those categorys are mutualy exclusive.

Yup. Gimme the extra anti-bogons. =D

Actually, the primary reason you got beat up in public school was probably because you went to a Public public school.  Just being in a state-run school tends to get you beat on, unless you're the one doing all the beating.

Yeah, but I got beat up at the religious private school I went to. It got really bad after I said in class that the Clinton-Lewinski scandal was a waste of ti... Oh, right.

Someone lay this on these guys:

Clinton-Lewinski wasn't really much of a scandal, though.  It was actually the Clinton-FLOWERS scandal that got people upset.  Not that he'd abused his office to hit on her, either, that he committed perjury to cover it up.  That's why Democrats always play up the sex aspects, they don't want to deal with the criminal activity.
