'Occupy' types

I can't seem to find myself truly interested in this. Arab Spring felt real and compelling. Young people truly wanting/needing to make a change in how their countries, and the world, operate. This feels like "look at us! We're protesting too! We are soo cool and counterculture"Exactly! I wish Rudy G. was mayor of NYC right now.

Occupy Herbstreit! (http://occupyherbstreit.tumblr.com/page/2)

First, I whole heartedly agree with the lack of message with the Occupy movement. Needs to be stronger, with an emphasis of what is wrong (which are several obvious issues) and what needs to be changed. Its an obvious put off when some are interviewed and they do have an good answer or they say they're looking for a handout to pay for their college education.

Most interesting to me, once again, is the hypocrisy on the right. Its seems like an opportunity to get together and demand change in accountability practices within what is the institution, "wall street." Does the right remember who created the anti-wall street movement? Remember the tea party, the anti bailout movement which created it? Remember main street vs wall street Sarah Palin speeches (stolen from Paul)? I dont get it anymore...Cantor says "mob" but when tea party demonstrates, its democratic right? I just dont understand...it seems like a perfect opportunity to look at reason why our economy collasped, here is a big hint....it wasnt because the government was involved.

Agreed.

I think this is just the right's chance to poke at the left over their tea party bashing.

DIE LINKEDIN DIE

DIE PHARMACUTICALS YOUR MOMMA JUST USED FOR SOME SERIOUS ILLNESS DIE IPOs(wtf are they, surely another tool of corruption) DIE
Youthful stupidity at its finest. (and I'm a 22yr old spring chicken myself.

What Cantor said was stupid unless he was talking about a spicific group that was causing problems. I personaly don't have a problem with what they are doing but they don't have very clear msg. They aslo complain about not having a job but I'm guessing their not out looking for a job while protesting.

Way to generalize FD. There are actually some Tea Partiers and Ron Paul supporters there.

They are anti-government in many ways too.

I'm guessing your referring to my statement about how they must smell. I don't think I'm generalizing when they are camping in an area without any real bathrooms or showers. So if you cannot shower or wash at some point you start to stink. Also the local resturants have had to close their bathrooms because they kept trashing them.

there is an "occupy baltimore" camp thats been going on for a week or so now in downtown baltimore. i usually vote democrat, dont mind paying taxes which seems to go to the poor and lazy, i like to grow my beard when work allows, ex-hippish type but dang, these occupy baltimore people for the most part seem to just be lazy types who want to say they are doing something by doing nothing.

me and my lady drive by there saturday night around 7 pm, there some live rap show, the guy is talking about how white people built jails to put black guys in, racism in the south ..then he proceeds to drop the n word a few times. my lady was like WTF? she wanted to get out of the car and curse them .. right in downtown baltimore they are blaring their crap ass rap dropping the n word, talking about some BS racism shit at 7 pm on a satruday night right in the inner harbor where there are families with kids walking around. (i like hip hop so im not just hating to be a hatter)

funny thing is, we drive by there around 10:30 am the next day, everyone of those lazy ****s arent even up yet . . . theres probably about 100 or so of them.

they talk and have signs saying they wants jobs . . theres a million freaking jobs out there for you to make 30-40k a year. go to the baltimore city gov website. sorry theres not a job out there wanting to pay unkempted white people 100k a year to save whales or something that you also get to sleep in for . .

i just dont get it. wish baltimore city would kick them people out. homeless people cant put up tents in the park where this occupy things is going on but a bunch of nonsense, lazy 20 something granola eating yahoos can?

I'd love to see the unemployment office head down to one of these camps and find out how many are collecting unemployment while protesting. I'm sure they are not out looking for jobs between protest.LOL

@OTM: They remind me of this thread:

http://www.thewarpath.net/parking-lot/37253-the-new-generation.html

Only willing to "work" if its doing exactly what they want to do and being paid what they determine is fair. I got a cousin that goes to UPenn and is about to graduate with really fancy sounding double majors. I was talking to her at a wedding and was like what do you want to do and she said go into consulting. I was like don’t you need experience for that?

Im guessing the main issue the protesters have are that concessions, bail outs and handouts are being given to big Wall Street firms. I guess whats really really really confusing to me is why they are protesting Wall Street and not the government?
