Occupy Chicago - Day 5

[BullFighter2011]

don't be fooled sisters just go home and let the rich kids deal with their shit

[Sammyjackson1488]

I think I can speak for EVERYBODY when I say that we would all rather have Tea Party people move in next door to us than any members of this miserable, Menshevik rabble.

[rtrenary16]

@Sammyjackson1488 You don't speak for me. The TeaParty is anti-American. 1. They are anti-immigration. America is founded on immigration. 2. They are anti-liberty. Who is to say who can get married and who can't? Occupy is the true voice of America. One which respects liberty and justice for all.

[Sammyjackson1488]

@rtrenary16 First off, as any Native American will assure you, this country was absolutely not founded on immigration. Second, so OWS believes in polygamy and the right to marry 14-year-old girls? And the right to marry their brother or sister? Or father?! Also, kindly note that human beings are the true one percent, having decimated all other life forms in a continuing slaughter. Question for you: Whom do you admire more: Che Guevera or George Washington?

"I took on a loan I couldn't afford on the premise that, sometime in the future, I would have a job that would pay it back"...

Who's issue is that, exactly?

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX Hmm? I dunno, maybe the people who are withholding $3Trillion out of America's economic recovery, namely the banks.

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 What does one have to do with the other? She took out a loan against the future with no true guarantee she'd be able to pay it back. If anything, she was behaving exactly as the bankers did 2001-2008 in overspeculating. She projected a better ability to repay debt than was possible - bird in the hand, two in the bush and all - this is called speculation, and wild speculation leads to suffering. So again, who are you blaming for this?

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX Why pay for education in the first place? Isn't that Elitist?

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 I'm curious what dictionary you're using....

What do *YOU* think pays for formal education, exactly? Do teachers need to receive salaries, or no? Do buildings and grounds require cleaning and maintenance, or no? Are you, also, one of the communists, or no?

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX I'm whatever you call anyone who doesn't agree with you.

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 LMFAO - is *THIS* (read: you) supposed to be representative of what people are depending on for change? Try answering a question and responding with substance. It might actually convey what you mean to say instead of appearing as a coward - never willing to come out and say anything of importance, only seeking to tear others down. You must be a communist as the behavior you're demonstrating is one of their hallmarks.

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX Why don't you go pound sand?

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 Why don't you learn how to answer a question like an adult? Maybe the reason why you're jobless, or whatever reason you're pissed at the world, is because you can't take responsibility for yourself or even assert your position in a well thought out manner. But you're best response is to tell me to get lost? On a public forum? Laughable.

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX Jobless??? Whatchutawkin' about? LOL!

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 I can only assume that someone of your cognitive ability must be incapable of holding permanent employ.

[spectrumVerX]

But wait...is there a government job pounding sand? Are you offering me a job? No thanks. You should take it (since you apparently need it). I have one...see, I'm part of the 42%....you know...the middle class that pays the remaining 37% of the tax burden after the 1% is done covering the first 63%. Just saying.

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX So, I'm a communist, eh? What does that make you? A Fascist?

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 Fascism and communism are cut of the same cloth. Fascism holds to cartelizing labor and business while communism cartelizes labor entirely. Both restrict personal, social, economic, and political freedoms. No. I'm not fascist. The best label that can be applied to me is 'libertarian'. You've still yet to answer a question.

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX I dunno. Seems every other industrial nation on Earth has general education, ...but I guess that's has to do with all this "American Exceptional-ism" I keep hearing about.

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 What do you mean by 'general education'? We already have a free public school system...well...it's free to the poor. The middle and upper classes pay for it. You want free college, too? I already pay 1200 a year to be in a community college district that I'll never have a use for - as does every other property taxpayer I know in the area. At what point do *YOU* become responsible for bettering your life?

[AtlasObjectivist]

BREAKING NEWS - In a display of solidarity with workers and students around the world, a mob numbering into the tens took to the streets here in Acworth, GA.

The "Occupy Acworth" Movement converged on Red Neckerson's Pawn Shop where the crowd chanted "Dude, where's my country?" and demanded their car titles. Then Barney Fife dispersed the crowd which immediately re-organized at the Dew Drop Inn for further discussion of the World Banker Conspiracy and a few cold ones.

[dogstar7]

@AtlasObjectivist Oh, I see what you're doing there. Humor, right?

[AtlasObjectivist]

@dogstar7 the point is this band of merry makers has no idea what the hell they are protesting, little lone any solutions beyond all out communism.

[dogstar7]

@AtlasObjectivist Hmmm? And you figured this out ...how? By osmosis? Do you read teas leaves? Toss bones? Stare into a crystal ball? Surfing the Internet in your mom's basement?

We are Atlas, asshole. And we never shrug.

[AtlasObjectivist]

@dogstar7 um... I actually watched your video.

Sorry to disappoint you, this current downturn in the capitalist system isn't going to fuel your failed communist utopian vision. It's over, resigned to the permanent ash heap of history.

If you really wanted change you would have joined the Tea Party.

[dogstar7]

@AtlasObjectivist

You only disappoint me as a human being, and that is something that you may grow out of as your crush on Ayn and "Dabney" fades away ...probably when you develop a healthy relationship to an actual woman off-line in real life.

[spectrumVerX]

@AtlasObjectivist Wow - this guy can't do anything other than fixate on Ayn, huh? In kind, my exchanges with him/her have been just as lacking in substance.

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX Buy a puppy if you're looking for new friend.

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 With friends like you, who would need enemies?

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX Keep coming back. I'm a YT partner, that means I get paid by the click.

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 Not on the comments page, just the vid. DO'H!!

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX You're an expert on YouTube ads, too?

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 Yeah...I can read.

[AtlasObjectivist]

@spectrumVerX Yeah, it is clear to the world this whole "occupy movement" is lacking in substance.

[dogstar7]

@AtlasObjectivist By the way, Ayn Rand died on public assistance. Just thought you should know.

[AtlasObjectivist]

@dogstar7 Nice spin, way to stay on subject. You just don't get it do you? She paid her taxes thus she paid into S.S. and Medicare ("public assistance" as you say), so had every right to use her money... just thought you should know.

[MELISSA84008]

‎Thursday/10:10am @OccupyChicago calling for help. PEOPLE OF CHICAGO GET TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE. JACKSON AND LASALLE. SPREAD THE WORD.

[Ghaztoir]

HEY LOOK! ITS JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE'S YOUNGER BROTHER!!!

[Xenzaka]

I want to go out with at least a group of 12.

[REDLucky]

hmm not sure if i should join or not

[dogstar7]

@REDLucky Hmmm not sure I understand why not

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 Because I don't support either communism nor it's euphemistic sister socialism...as every OccupyCHI'er I spoke with advocates. While I'm behind the idea of a mass protest to display malcontent, I choose not to identify with those involved in this movement on moral grounds.

[dogstar7]

@spectrumVerX "Moral grounds"? Okee dokee, Mr. Nixon.

[spectrumVerX]

@dogstar7 Wow...you wouldn't know how to stay on subject if your life depended on it, eh?

Yes. I think it's immoral to steal from Peter to give to Paul. That you don't think theft is immoral says more about you than it does about me, bucko.

[donkuss]

@REDLucky

[shrugo12]

Today was at the very least 75

[LadySeraph]

How many people you guys got out there, so far?

[ish2189]
