Occupiers Hit Stumbling Block in War on Capitalism

You claim to be a Christian but I don't see any compassion coming from you. The sub prime crisis was caused by a disgusting bunch of individuals who had absolutely no sense of morality and I cannot see that anything has changed even now. We are told that most of this was not illegal but it was definitely incredibly immoral and obscene behaviour. It would be nice if you even acknowledged the huge effects that these events have had on the world's economy instead of pissing yourself over the antics of a few protesters.

I don't claim to be a Christian. The sub prime crisis was caused by Dodd-Frank who are both Democrats. It doesn't have anything to do with the protest going on in NYC and elsewhere. And I am only pissing myself from laughing so hard at these protesters.

Just noting similarities...

I'm not the one who started noting people who have written best-sellers and have millions of admirers. I was just participating in the conversation... I got all excited hanging out with all this elite super-knowledge of the popular and best-selling authors of our times.

Well how about your conservative ass grow some balls and be man enough to say that Rush Limbaugh is certainly NOT an idiot? People can disagree politically, hell, I don't even agree with everything Rush says, but the man is NOT AN IDIOT... IDIOTS CAN'T ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE HAS! Maybe some viewpoint he has is idiotic? Maybe his views in general, are idiotic to you... but how can someone accomplish what he has, and be an idiot? It defies logic and reality.
 
The Wall Street dissenters prove again the hypocrisy and phoniness of republicans, conservatives, and libertarians and all blends of each ideological tag. Freedom only means freedom for markets and for corporate exploitation, when people are free, the conservative republican demeans them. Bailing out the poor is wrong, but as the last conservative republican administration and the current congress demonstrate, bailing out the rich with tax incentives is fine and dandy. The tea party medicare and social security people protesting the government that feeds and heals them is OK, but those hurt by corporate outsourcing of America are somehow wrong to protest. It would seem conservatives and republicans never change, during the American revolutions the same mood was present, one wonders what this new dissent will accomplish.

"The same right-wingers who happily accepted George W. Bush’s shift toward a police state – his claims of limitless executive power, warrantless wiretaps, repudiation of habeas corpus, redefining cruel and unusual punishment, suppression of dissent, creation of massive databases on citizens, arbitrary no-fly lists, and endless overseas wars – have now reinvented themselves as brave protectors of American liberty."

I've never seen something so crazy in my life, it's unreal! SNL can't even do a decent spoof of this!

An example of the modern American narcissistic, self indulgent youth, crowds contain all sorts and among them are the stupid and inconsiderate, this is an example of the spoiled American whose thinks their rigid position is the correct position. I wonder whether this would have happened in a more tolerant city? The fool with the bullhorn proves how easy crowds can follow fools as most of America did after 911.

"Something is profoundly wrong with the way we live today. For thirty years we have made a virtue out of the pursuit of material self-interest: indeed, this very pursuit now constitutes whatever remains of our sense of collective purpose. We know what things cost but have no idea what they are worth. We no longer ask of a judicial ruling or a legislative act: is it good? Is it fair? Is it just? Is it right? Will it help bring about a better society or a better world? Those used to be the political questions, even if they invited no easy answers. We must learn once again to pose them." Tony Judt 'Ill Fares the Land'

He is clearly not an idiot. He is far more successful than anybody here, most of which can only hope to obtain that level of success. It isn't stupidity that got him there.
 
Has anyone else ever noticed that conservatives just aren't funny? It's not even subjective. They just aren't funny. Their jokes are so stupid. They're not even jokes. It's part of what makes them so boring.

Hey, you know.... I'm really sorry about our lack of humor at this time. The country is going through a crippling double-dip recession, perhaps even a depression, we have 10% unemployment and 20% under-employment, inflation, houses becoming worthless, retirement accounts busted, no new jobs being created, and a bunch of hippies are protesting capitalism. There's just nothing funny about any of this stuff....except the pinheads protesting... they are pretty funny.
 
Yeah, you weren't any funnier during the Bush years.

You guys just aren't funny people. I'm very funny. Witty, as they say. I wouldn't want to live a humorless life. I wonder if there's a connection between that and the way you guys hate everyone? I think there might be.

I notice that all of the time. Some of them here on the board seem like the kind that laugh at people falling down the stairs & stuff like that.

You think comparing Hitler to someone is funny ?......Didn't someone just lose his announcing job because of that...?.....and he didn't even make the comparison a personal one....
Obviously, if the comparison is between a conservative and Hitler, that fits your version of humor to some degree....

Funny or not....I'm just bringing to light, the 'double standard' we have and how it effects everything we say and do.....
