    Default A picture's worth a thousand words

    As these neophytes, mostly from the "entitled millennial" generation, believing themselves true converts of an important revolution as they rage against evil corporations- seem to miss the irony of how they live their lives.

    So in order to protest against corporations (which is a dumbass overgeneralization) one has to be completely divorced from the modern market economy.

    That's some smart, smart commentary right there.

    No, they are just seemingly too stupid to realize that if they accomplished their "goals" it would destroy corporations & manufacturing...apparently you are too.

    Yeah, I agree, it's stupid to protest against corporations...and btw that's their dumbass behavior. If one is going to protest corporate greed- the most effective way is to stop using their goods and services. It's called a boycott. Then, if you want to change the way corporations do business, you protest your law makers.

    If you're going to practice being taxed enough already, really, the best way is to just not pay taxes. And also to stop using anything that is created or sustained by public funds.

    I am not against being taxed- What part of the words "enough already" goes over your pudding head. And, what part of protesting law makers, which TEA Party activist's correctly did, as opposed to road builders, escapes you?

    And these protesters aren't calling for the elimination of corporations. Duh.

    Dopey thread of the day, by a mile.

    Yes, losers, I agree. I would only add idiots to adjectives describing their illogical activism.

    Their goals would end corporations...but I agree that they, like you, are too stupid to understand that. Governments' do not create wealth or prosperity- private wealth does that. Crony capitalism and crony socialism are monsters, I agree- But the way you deal with ridding cronyism from the system is to deal with the law makers who make it possible- That is why protesting wall street is stupid.

    That's your opinion, nothing more. There is nothing "hypocritical" about protesting for reform, and still using corporate products.

    Make no mistake, ID: this thread is a major, major fail. You should let it slip to the next page. But I'm happy to keep discussing your desperate idiocy, if you would like.
