Occupy Wall Street - Sidewalk Chalk Connects the 99%

[vmmscertpro]

Comradery?? Are you serious? I had no idea that comradery involved theft and assualting each other. They even had to set up a separate tent just to protect the women there. And most 'occupiers' are either atheists, anarchists, or support Marxist and other anti-american values. NO THANK YOU!!!!

[BenZolno]

thanks for the feedback from all the thoughtful people on here, and thanks to those who didn't/can't think that much too! Remember, whenever something goes outside your comfort zone, yell, scream and troll! With luck, you just may feel less alone, someday!

Hmm i think that's graffiti

Check out the fancy kitchen in NYC, she is the 1%. I hate it when the 1% pretends to be part of the 99%

[moosemps]

@jfan2000jfan I fail to see what part of that kitchen says "millionaire"

[jfan2000jfan]

@moosemps Who said anything about millionaires? The Top 1% make $343,000 a year or more. In 2009 there were 1.38 million IRS filers of more than $343,000 who make up the Top 1%. Millionaires are the 0.3%. She lived in NYC she walked to the protest, so she lives downtown. She's very well off. Also, everybody in the United States is in the Top 15% of the World in Income and Wealth. So the richest people in the world are whining about not being rich enough? The world bleeds for us.

[moosemps]

@jfan2000jfan A millionaire is someone who is worth over $1 million, not someone who makes $1 million a year. I maintain that you do not need to be within the top 1% to own kitchen appliances.

[jfan2000jfan]

@moosemps You mean the difference between Wealth and Income? And the difference between Kitchen Appliances and Real Estate? How much Wealth and Income do you think it takes to live in downtown NYC?

@reb618 Crap name by the way, 1:Theft is wrong in any country 2:Calling people names like dipshit just shows reflected anger at your own perceived inadequacies 3:Pot smoking hippies are all over 50 and watching fox .4:The demographic of occupy supporters is wider than your muma.

It seems that there are those who recognize that we have a responsibility to future generations to build a just society that will outlast our greedy little lives and then there are those who need to find comfort in childish name calling. Ho Hum... I'm still waiting for some civil discussion. For the record, I'm a 50+ business man who got his first job at 15 and started his first business at nineteen. I also have seen corruption and bribery first hand and made money in stocks & commodities.

[reb618]

The Occupy Movement is the two-pecenter's of society who want to sit on their ass, smoke dope, drink Latte's, party, bang drums, think about stupid and irrelevant shit all day long, and have the rest of America pay for it. They have zero talent, zero creativity, zero innovation and are in whole ... zeros themselves, and deep down they know it. My first job at 15 was shoveling dirt for earthworms. I did it in 110 degree Texas heat. 10 years later, I became a Software Engineer. Hard work!

[KdigitalFish]

@reb618 you are disconnected from reality

[TRINITYNTB]

Get inspired to work, vote, participate in your community, pay taxes, obey laws ... not support #ows - you are finally waking up to the world around you? Welcome to the rest of America that works hard every day to keep the country going and play by the rules of law etc. #OWS is the rest of people who don't participate regularly but who have suddenly turned the light on? Come on already - get a job, contribute to your country and society and stop trashing the cities you live in - Jeesh

[fortheloveoflife24]

So I guess no one is interested in real conversation to find lasting solutions to our malaise. What about talking about those who actually create the wealth in our society and those who just suck it out and hoard it? The Occupy movement has generated public debate about the disparity between those that earn their living and those that suck their riches out of the system. That I think is progress. The occupy movement on the whole has been non violent and inclusive. That is I think positive.

[reb618]

@fortheloveoflife24 The Occupy Movement did not start this debate. They've hijacked it for socialism. This debate is what caused the Tea Party in Boston to revolt against King George and has been going on since. You don't know your history. As a result, our founding fathers gave us a republic to stop this. Americans fell asleep over the decades, forgot history, and now two corporations are sucking the world of it's wealth. Washington DC, and the Federal Reserve. You voted for them!

[TRINITYNTB]

@reb618 YES! 

[bigcat570]

This is about people waking up. How good did you feel whan you found out you were not alone in thinking these things? Im happy to see someone get excited about something so simple as group art on a sidewalk. Give me more hope for a world without the name calling. IN LAK"ECH

[mudvillehustler]

WTF... I see that you live in a house with a refrigerator that has plastic in it among the plastic refrigerator magnets and the plastic holding your hair up. YOUR TOOTH BRUSH IS PLASTIC YOUR DOUCHE BAG IS PLASTIC YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE. A FREAKING HYPOCRITE

[pabeyer549]

Our forefathers figured this out. We have allowed ourselves to forget this concept in the name of political correctness BS. Lastly, don't chalk up the sidewalk at the park...that is for the kids and you just ruined their day. If you want to talk, let me know, I am willing... @Pbizzel

[pabeyer549]

The irony is that the so-called members of the 99% don't even recognize the violence they perpetuate. You think it is all love, peace, and dope. It is exactly what you are fighting against, a big group of people who have drowned themselves in their own message. You can't solve the problems of the world by destroying it...real change comes from talking and listening to one another in small local settings.

[pabeyer549]

The hypocrisy of how you look at the world is "rich". You and I are Americans. We get up each day and do the best we can with what we got. We love and care of the people in our lives. We are not entitled to anything except for our lives, our liberty or personal freedom, and the pursuit to attain happiness for my family and I. We are not members of a false collective that apparently knows all the problems of the world.

[pabeyer549]

So let me get this straight..you chalked up the sidewalk at a park with "we are the 99% "and also noted "Plastic Kills"..Newsflash, based on your updated kitchen and top of the line appliances, you are a member of the 53%. The 99% is a fallacy.There are those that contribute to the society. There are those that don't. There are those that follow laws. There are those that don't. There are those that let people get assaulted and raped within their movement and deny it to protect the movement.

[reb618]

@pabeyer549 Excellent observation! They don't want members of their movement going to the police, because it will expose to the world what really goes on in Zuccotti Park, which is illegal. That's what gang members do. You rat and you're out. These people aren't a movement ... they're another gang this society has to put up with.

[reb618]

Spare me your platitudes. She is drawing chalk lines on the sidewalk and touting how plastics kill people, and how she is moved by your movement by the mere simple fact that she's single and miserable.

AND YOU KNOW IT.

No mature or hard-working American engages in such neurotic behavior like this grown woman does which symbolizes what you Occupy losers of society sit around wetting your diapers about.

Stay in Zuccotti park. That's where you belong. Under a tarp and unemployed.

[MosesMyPeople]

@reb618 Why do you feel the need to judge others? You do not define someone when you judge them, you merely define yourself as someone who feels the need to judge.

[reb618]

@MosesMyPeople That's a brilliant conclusion you made, coming from someone whose own ill-founded judgment segregates an entire global population of humans into two camps; the 99% and the 1%. The world is not that simple. The silent majority of America sees you for who you are. The two pecenter's. The flops, the lazy, the losers, the babies who cry because they have a candy bar they didn't earn. And ... you're not going to get it.

[reb618]

Congratulations on your video. You've basically portrayed yourself as yet another loser in society.

[fuzzynostic]

@reb618 There are no losers when you belong. I guarantee you are the 99% but thinking you are better than others just makes you a loser period. We are the 99%

[reb618]

Hey @fuzzynostic. Great name by the way. It's very revealing. You dipshits coined this foist called the 99%. You guys are the 2% who won't get off your lazy asses and get your own life in order. Now like children, you want to stomp around, bitch, whine, smash private property, and think the working class of this country is going to feel sorry for you and do it for you. The whole Occupy Movement will get exactly what you deserve, and what you had before ... NOTHING! Enjoy!

[fortheloveoflife24]

What a fantastic idea. Something everyone can do. Last night we went to a lecture on progressive planning at city hall and afterwards dropped some apples off at the kitchen of our local occupy site. We stayed for some conversation and were totally inspired by the civil and informed discussion that ensued. It started with four of us and within fifteen minutes included a circle of over thirty people. We were engaging more deeply and respectfully than any other forum I have ever attended.

[p3tabyte]

@fortheloveoflife24 - Wow, I'm sure that made you feeeeel really good. So, what did you people come up with? What came out of your little talk besides all feeeeeling really good about yourselves for talking without raping anyone or crapping on a cop car?

[fortheloveoflife24]

@p3tabyte How about cutting the sarcasm and engaging in real conversation instead? What is your point?

[reb618]

@fortheloveoflife24 This is not sarcasm, and is absolutely correct! Why should we, the working class of America, sit around and revere what these children are conjuring up in their immature sessions in the park? Kids who probably hate their parents, smoke dope, sit in their tents and masturbate and butt-slam each other, and meditate out in public like their some holy little nugget that just descended from on high from Tibet, when they're nothing but little shits who want a handout.

[reb618]

@fortheloveoflife24 Want some real conservation? How about you have a cup of shut the f--- up and get a life you whiny little brat. There is no reasoning with children who just grew hair between their legs and think they understand how the world works. I'd like to see a squad of about 200 fathers march in Zuccotti Park ... tell the police to stand back ... and whip all of you across your backs and send you home to your mommy's. You probably voted for Obama and now are pissed. Your fault. 

[IsaacKarjala]

@reb618 and you're probably retarded enough to think that McCain would of made a difference.....
