I didn’t know about this…cool!
Easy, Squealer. Don’t seem too over enthusiastic, or even the pot-heads might start suspecting you’re just Napoleon’s little errand boy.
don’t you have better things to do, whorefinder? like… whores?
@platyusrex:
your mom’s busy tonight.
I noticed in the calendar that there is a “women’s caucus” Tuesday at 5:30. I assume there will be a men’s caucus as well? Perhaps we could caucus by race or creed or religion or nation of origin. Why the need to create sub-sets? Women represent 51% of the population and as such are no longer a minority.
Please explain.
Tomorrow is the white men’s congress, otherwise known as 90% of the 99%.
The fact that you need an explanation shows how insidious the patriarchy we exist in truly is.
Why does it wound your little ego to recognize that women need to amplify their voice because even tho we are the majority, we’re vastly underrepresented.
If this is a movement focusing on economics, where is the talk on how women make 70 cents to men’s dollar?
If this is a movement for justice, where is the talk on ending slavery? You have heard of sex slaves, no? Of course not. Whores ask for it. They are “liberated sex workers” in what passes for your….thinking.
You are sadly uninformed, and that is why a women’s caucus is needed. So that you learn why women need an entirely separate collective voice in order for men to finally get it that women’s rights are HUMAN rights, and should be SUPPORTED by men, too, instead of whined about.
We MUST find a way to address this population that still doesn’t understand what the occupy movement is about: http://the53.tumblr.com/archive Many of these people need to be informed. They still think the occupy movement is about whining and expecting a government handout. They need to understand that this isn’t a left/right issue but an issue of fundamental fairness in the political and economic system. They need to be unbrainwashed.
Start here.
I read and listen – and mostly what i hear are the problems in the system. The same problems that have persisted for decades.
What is the change we can rally around and believe in? Use this space- use any space right? So start here. Unbrain wash.
Thanks
Start with the banks. Credit Card interest is CRIMINAL for what they get away with. So much for the Credit Reform Act. This impacts EVERYONE.
LOWER Gas prices. Start by ending any/all subsidies to oil producers. Fed/State-stop taxing the heck out of gas and cigs. You are taking unfair advantage over the needy and the addicted.
Next, school tuition is too high, and education, too low.
Lower tuition, yes, but more importantly, the CRIMINAL FEES that these so-called halls of higher learning charge.
Bring back manufacturing. Don’t let the ECO-Crowd and CEO’s keep products from being made here, where they belong. Buy American, from Americans.
There, you’ve been UN-brainwashed-no whining-just FACTS!
For change we can rally around, here are 2 bills in Congress. Call/write/harass your reps to push them through:
H.R. 1489: Return to Prudent Banking Act of 2011
This will reinstate many of the regulations we had under Glass Steagall. Of course it’s opposed by the banks and brokers and fund managers who got us into this mess, and stand to lose a lot of profit.
H.R. 676: Medicare for All
This has been languishing forever (introduced in 2003) because even though it makes good sense from a policy standpoint, and a cost control standpoint, it eliminates profit-taking that insurance companies now enjoy. It keeps getting shelved and silenced because there is not enough public outcry, so lobbying influence wins.
If everyone at every Occupy site contacted their reps and screamed for passage of these, we could make some progress.
It would be great to see huge signs that said HR1489 and HR676. If it makes people curious, good.
“We must stop these people from disagreeing with the party line! Anyone who disagrees with the movement MUST BE PUNISHED!”
so.. Balthazar – how? Pretty complex list-
Ok I am not a fan of occupy movements and after reading that manifest that you signed on with how do you expect an American to go along with world government. The NEO scares most if to death. The Europeans are trying it with the E U and its not working. Stalin tried remember it failed. Greece was as socialist as they come didn’t work. Can somebody out here tell me what makes you diffrrnt?
Because they say so, comrade!
NWO not neo
Uhmm, we haven’t signed any manifests. Sorry.
Joshua,
Not to be mean, but you look like a geeky, nerdy computer dude.
I would think you must have a job….
Why are you wasting your career with this drivel?
Perhaps he’s talking about the endorsement of the October 15th statement.
awesome snarky comment! Way to gather support.
OWS should focus on America and not fall into that NWO BS.
Giving more power to the government is like giving more power to the corporations, we should try to find a middle ground.
If it’s the October 15th statement that you’re referring to with NWO, in my opinion you’re misinterpreting that statement. I don’t think that it endorses any kind of world government, though it does criticize existing governments and institutions like the WB, IMF, etc.
I was not referring to any statement.
I was making a general comment for the future.
I do agree with Marko and have communicated this to the organizers. They agreed with this point and will consider. If, the Statement of Purpose is about the ‘world’ it sounds too idealistic and the focus should be on America along with a message that this is a non-partisan movement. This is the only reason that here in America the movement is gaining supporters. Solidarity can be expressed with citizens of other countries who are agains corporate influence on politics, but this is about us and our economy.
The newspaper is a great idea and I hope it stays focused on the financial crisis, Wall Street, rehabbing the system and cleaning up the electoral process. If it turns into a special interest paper rather than one of common interest, you’ll lose more support than you can imagine.
Not everyone wants a revolution. In this Occupy is in the minority. And even if they did, chances are it wouldn’t be an extreme leftist one. Keep perspective on what we as Americans want for this country.
Looking forward to this being funded…. I’ll be sending out my share of links…
Josh what makes this different is that is different. K. It’s not the same as any of your suggestions. No one is even asking for a change in the system. No one has suggested amending the constitution and in fact the opposite we want it upheld. What people want is the removal of the influence of money from government. Do you not agree with at least that?
The removal of corporate influence, etc., is what drew me to the movement. Almost every thread on this site emphasizes everything but the main issue…
So you don’t want groups of people to band together and have political ideals and push for political change?
So you must be against unions as well.
No you dumb fuck that is not what he said. That is what the movement is. People organizing for political ideals. Your so contradictory it’s scary.
@Ger, the true dumb fuck:
He is mad about people banding together to assert political ideals they believe in.
So, if he were logically consistent, he would oppose unions as well as corporations. And demonstrations like the one you’re supporting.
The fact that he (and you) aren’t shows you’re just hypocritical thugs whining incoherently in the hopes people will just bend to your will.
QED, bitch.
How do you get the removal of corporate influence = banding together. You just made shit up and then blamed it on him. He didnt say any of that and nor did I. You created your own argument and then beat it. Cool.
@Ger, the true dumb fuck:
How do you get the removal of corporate influence = banding together.
—First, numbnuts, you all “gathered together”, protesting together . to remove “corporate influence.” So, idiot, working together= banding together.
QED.
Seriously, get out of 6th grade, bitch.
You can’t even figure out what you said. Your post doesn’t make sense. I could try again to explain your mis-thinking but its all there for anyone to read. You put words in his mouth and then destroyed your own argument. Cool.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3PzYn80e7U&feature=related
Listen, making the entire BPD work OT to protect the street is defeating your purpose.
Work hard and pay your bills like every American in the country. Some people are born wealthly GET OVER IT! STOP COMPLAINING and causing MAYHEM in the street of what once was a pretty city until you all moved in. You guys are living like animals and its dirty and gross and you should be ashamed.
You are full of win.
Fuck the left. Fuck these hippies. Fuck their messages.
You are such a loser but remember this. You can do nothing to stop this movement. Your trolling is pissing in the wind. Good luck with that.
@Ger, the true dum-dum:
You can do nothing to stop this movement
—“The revolution will not be stopped, comrade! It is a perpetual revolution!”
What? Have you gone of the rails completely.
@Ger, the true dumb fuck:
—lol. Apparently, our little useful idiot has never read the commie literature he’s swallowing hook, line, and sinker. And he’s making bold assertions based on nothing more than his own masturbatory fantasies.
I’ve never read any commie literature you are correct in that. But I said movement. You said revolution. Why do you feel the need to distort everyones words. Are your thought processes so bad. Just try to stay relevant. The anger fits are not becoming of a lady.
Against occupy. Now your government says that corporations are citizens. Should they pay their bills. Should they have the ear of a whole bunch of politicians 24/7 practically on their payroll while you carry on waiting in line. Your government is corrupt. It has to stop. We are sorry the protest offends you but we think it’s important. Please at least stay on topic. Dirty and gross are not really relevant in the circumstances. It makes you sound like a high school cheerleader.
Corporations are “citizens”, dumbass, for the purpose of being sued in one place. Otherwise, if you wanted to sue them, you’d have to sue the individuals of the corporation in separate places.
Corporations are made up of people. They are run by people. You are merely dehumanizing them so you don’t feel so bad when you violently attack them.
Of course the government is corrupt. Leftists are in charge of it. Look at Obama.
Now bite me, you fascist fuck.
Seriously I agree, obama is corrupt as can be. They all are. Can you agree with me on something?
@Ger, the dumb fuck:
Can you agree with me on something?
—-If you say that killing yourself would improve the human race, then yes, I would agree.
I don’t even know what to say to that. Seriously dude. That’s just wrong.
@Ger, the true dumb fuck:
I don’t even know what to say to that.
—yet I believe you’re still talking. Typical leftist: mouth open, brain not working.
Seriously dude. That’s just wrong.
—lol. So is all leftism.
But this is not a leftist movement and I am not a leftist. Why do you insist on labeling everyone. Does it make life easier for you.
This movement ( not revolution now because they are different) is not any of the labels you are trying to put on it so therefore all of your posts are irrelevant and pretty much a waste of your time. But if it makes you feel better then please continue as it helps us focus.
The entire BPD is working overtime to protect the corporations and we are paying for it. Corporations go free.
The BPD is working overtime so assholes like you don’t start a riot and kill people and destroy their property.
Go fuck yourself, you violent thug.
Three police officers are working overtime. And certainly not $2 million worth of it.
Ah, the left. Always denying reality, with any lie they can throw out there.
If you say so. Who told you? Daddy?
@ Ger, the true comrade fuckhead:
Who told you they weren’t? Oh right, the self-appointed leader and chief propagandist of the Boston Brownshirts.
It’s gonna get cold tonight in Obamaville, boys and girls. Hope you’re wearing your hemp sweaters!
I WOULD LIKE TO WIRE YOU $1,000 TO HELP WITH THIS NEWSPAPER.
WHICH BANK SHOULD I SEND THIS TO?
Capitalist pig!
You nearly got us!
MAKE THE MAIN POINT OF THE MOVEMENT ABOUT FORGIVING STUDENT DEBT…or at least abating it.
1. It will help the poor and those just enterting the economy.
2. It will create a massive stimulus to the economy.
The main point should not be forgiving student debt. You should have never gone to a school that you could not afford. There are plenty of state and community colleges which are/were affordable. Did you get a student loan and think you thought you wouldn’t have to pay it back?
That is no ones fault but your own.
1. Every loan debt is an asset held by someone. By forgiving them, you take money from someone else that they were rightfully owed.
Plus, you agreed to pay it back. You are reneging on your promise, like a moralless jackass.
2. Keynesianism doesn’t work.
Whoa, NO! NOBODY told you to go to college. College is an investment in yourself; not a guarantee to success. If you can’t afford the investment then don’t make it. Even if you could convince me that your idea is valid, I would only make it applicable to in-state tuition for public institutions of higher learning. No wiping off debt for your elitist private schools because you can’t handle the job market.
So many of you look down on people who work with their hands and actually construct or build. There are many unions that need smart, driven, sober people: elevator union is one example. Shit, truck drivers make $60-70,000/year
and you can learn to that in 18 months for less than $4000.00.
I am all for equitable wages and a level playing field, but I have kept myself out of debt and I should not have to pay for yours.
No forgiveness if you signed on the dotted line. Same for mortgages. And I don’t buy this predatory lending bullshit either: if you are too stupid not to read the contract then you get you what deserve.
Your greediness is the same vein as the 1%.
Excellent points.
See. That’s why it’s not a single issue cause about student debt. It’s about corruption and abuse of power. These morons are just drooling for it to be a single issue they can target and for a leader they can attack.
Yeah, a bunch of whiny parasites with no point? Yeah, you’re making a difference, ganja-head.
You think your contributions make a difference. Hahahahahaha. You only serve to illustrate what is wrong in this society. You are useful but not in the way you think.
@Ger, the true dumb fuck:
you mad, bro?
Mad like spitting vitriol and foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog. Nope. Mad like insane, nope. If I was i’d be silly to ask me. Why don’t you take a poll.
his name is Barry Obama
“If your last 50 posts or so are any reflection on you then you must be a nice person”
Ger- you must be the only commenter that doesnt beat, or get beaten up on a daily basis.
When you use the term ‘we’ in association with the police comments- is that because you are posting from Dewey? Or do you stand in solidarity in your home?
Maybe you should start a fund to repay the tax payers of Boston. SCUMM
If you can’t afford to send the police don’t send them. We didn’t ask for them. Why should we pay. And now that were talking about pissing away our money have you been at all watching or listening? You dare to call anyone scum you I’ll informed bigot.
We didn’t ask for them. Why should we pay.
—you’re right./ I’m sure you’d love to start a riot that no one would stop, you miserable criminal shit.
Pissng in the wind again you angry troll.
@Ger, the true dumb-fuck:
Pissng in the wind again you angry troll.
—You’re just whistling Dixie, son.
That’s just noise now your making. Just foaming at the mouth noise.
Your mom made noises last night with her mouth. Big barking noises. It was fun, son. Tell her she owes me $5 change, though.
I have a suggestion. There should be some sort of occupation in Lexington and Concord, if there are not already. These are deeply symbolic places that tap into the very moment our country revolted against the British. In fact, I think we MUST occupy Lexington and Concord.
Both towns would be very friendly to an occupation, and I would expect a high level of support from the locals. The police would be very friendly as well. You can get to Lexington by taking the Red Line to Alewife. From there, you catch the 62 or 76. I’m not sure if there is service on the weekends. Please be courteous and respectful to the property and people of those towns. They are very nice, warm, and good people.
lol. That’s an awesome idea.
But let’s not forget Brookline, Wellsley, and Newton.
The link to the Occupy Boston Globe graphic needs to be fixed so that it links to Occupy Boston Globe, vs. just to the graphic.
Also, the calendars at the main Occupy Boston site and the Occupy Boston Globe site (I think they are linked and are the same Google calendars) are incomplete, which is a real pain. There needs to be a way to make sure that all scheduled events get on the calendar so that there are no conflicts.
Scheduled events can be emailed to:
occupybostonmedia@gmail.com
A paper? Wouldn’t that be like recording a cassette tape, or burning a DVD at this point. I’m 42, and even I haven’t bought, looked at, or read a paper in 5 years. All online. Seems like time, effort, money and focus could be spent elsewhere.
Enemy of the proletariat! How dare you not support the working man by using your new-fangled “techonology,” you corporate whore!
It’s easy. 😉
Agreed 100%- I suppose to hand out at Dewey sq.
Most people at Dewey Square itself have little or not access to computers or electricity, and the paper is meant more for internal communications.
Secret directives from the party leadership, eh, comrade?
Ah, Pravda Boston, so the parasites can read all the propaganda fit for consumption.
Seig Heil, Mein Obama!
I give all of this ‘occupy’ stuff until about March (if even that long)–at least the camping out piece. Interest will fade/die down and not much really (as in specific, substantial, measurable changes) will happen. You’ll see.
Ann,
I would say the first snowfall…..lol
Its a bitch sleeping in the snow/cold in December
Ask some homeless folks
Let’s hope we get an early blizzard this year. Out of nowhere. Freeze half these hippies to death. Mother nature can wipe out the shallow end of the gene pool.
build a quinzee. it’s warm, and snow isn’t illegal.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinzhee
Ann,
You may be surprised. While weather may become a factor, the interest will not likely ‘die down.’ This political movement is very new, and, as such, has a way to go…….it has, however, touched a very raw nerve among millions of people who recognize how our government has been complicit in the economic collapse of our country. The financial services industry engineered this enormous failure, were bailed out of a mess of their own creation and have now resumed ‘business as usual;’ replete with unearned,
grotesque salaries and bonuses. Clearly, this is wrong and a close
examination of the business/financial practices of the past 30 years or so,
show this without question.
By the way, Ann, many area colleges and universities have expressed
interest in contributing resources toward the end of keeping this movement
going and the ideas alive. Weather may not play as critical a role as you might wish it to. Finally, people from all walks of life are waking up to the enormity of this situation and will continue to demand some changes. How about some integrity, some honesty, some accountability, some transparency in government? That would be refreshing.
This is addressed to the moderator: I am respectfully requesting that you not publish posts that are not conducive to dialogue. These would include remarks that contain obscenities, insults, vitriol, and are not on point.
Discussion is valuable and relevant. Slurs and nonsensical comments by mentally unbalanced ‘posters’ need not be tolerated. and they certainly do not lead to valuable conversation.
up to the enormity of this situation.
Ok Ann we’ll see. Whorefinder you are a seriously disturbed individual. If your last 50 posts or so are any reflection on you then you must be a nice person. I hope you get all your anger out here now and dont take it out on your wife and kids. You guys remind me of the mean girl in little house on the prairie. Just fucking mean and ugly.
Just fucking mean and ugly.
—just imitating every hippie protesting on the Greenway, jackass.
Is that it? That’s your response? I don’t know what to do. Am I in a schoolyard slanging match. Are you even an adult. Oh fuck I’ve been trolled by a repuplikid.
@Ger, the true dumb fuck:
Am I in a schoolyard slanging match.
—lmao. The whiny parasites on the Greenway are acting like children. So I treat you as such, leech.
That’s not even a coherent answer to anything. Your falling apart dude.
@Ger, the comrade fuck:
That’s not even a coherent answer to anything.
—lol. Just because you’re too dumb to understand it doesn’t mean it doesn make sense, bro.
Come to think of it, that explains why you parasites are protesting; you’re too dumb to understand economics OR human behavior.
Im confused…..
How are they able to use the Boston Globe’s name , etc for this?
Isnt copyrights involved?
No personal property, capitalist!
Well, personal property for the hippies. Everyone else, no!
i want to meet you for coffee, whorefinder. you are a bizarre person and i need to see you face to face. tweet at me, will you? @platypusrex256
@platypusrex256:
The only thing bizarre about me, hippie, is the fact that I am grounded in reality and logic. Being a lefty, that’s an alien place to you.
Satire is fair use.
Occupy Wall St Journal was satire. This is just pitiful imitation that falls flat.
I realize that nothing instantly springs to mind that would match Occupy Wall St Journal, but an effort at something original and biting needs to be made, at least.
They’re imitating OWS in New York who put out the Occupy Wall St Journal, which was brilliant and sly.
“Occupy Boston Globe” is imitative, dull, and painful to behold, right down to the unimaginative use of the hideous BG graphics.
Come on, kids….surely you could do better than that? Did you even TRY?
I dunno Keith do you? Or what is your point? Are you just here for a general grumble or to cause a bit of aggravation? Who hurt you as a child?
lol. Poor wittle hippie—he hates it when people question his proletariat revolution!
No I don’t and it’s not my revolution. That would indeed be absurd. It doesn’t stop you talking shit though. Also I’m not a hippie and I have no problem being questioned as I know I don’t have all the answers. I don’t even mind your trolling. It’s fun to show what dicks you are. You have nothing to add but hate and bile. How many times do people have to tell u?
@Ger, the true dumb fuck:
You have nothing to add but hate and bile.
—lol. Just spewing back on the protesters all they’ve been spewing forth. Tastes awful, eh, comrade?
No idea what bile tastes like and no idea where your coming from. It’s cool though. Your making a right dick of yourself. ROFLZ.
@Ger, the comrade fuck:
No idea what bile tastes like
—kind of like what your boyfriend snowballs back into your mouth.
no idea where your coming from
–Reality. Put down the weed and come for a visit sometime.
Your making a right dick of yourself.
—-lmao. Just giving back to the left what you’re doing right now in your protests, son.
“Hate is just as injurious to the person who hates. Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.”
lmao rofl.
Have you heard of the term “appeal to authority?” it’s a logical fallacy.
Which means your little quote isn’t even an argument, son.
Dude what the fuck are you talking about? Because appeal to authority is alogical fallacy means nothing to his argument. Were you at the bar.
@Ger, the comrade fuck:
—lol.
I’m writing this slowly, b/c I know you don’t read fast.
He quoted something to make a point. Except all his quote was just assertion after assertion. No argument. Hence, he wasn’t making an argument, he was just quoting it to say it was right b/c someone else said it.
That, son, is an appeal to authority.
Logic: introduce some to a liberal today!
Agreed. Well said.
Why do you folks still even respond to this ‘whore’ moron? His only purpose is to derail any meaningful discussion and, looking at this mess tonight, I’d say it’s working. Don’t be rubes – ignore it and continue your discussion.
Oh yes, you lefties are all about “meaningful” discussion.
Now, what were you meaningfully discussing? Murdering rich people for their success? Shutting down dissenting speech? Taking property that’s not yours? Demanding totalitarianism?
lol lefty.
Because it’s a bit of fun. And its revealing in a way. And he’s making a right dick of himself.
Seriously. If he wants to spew bile then draw it out for everyone to see. He’s trolling here on every post every day. He looks like he’s falling apart now.
Please, please, please make more signs that define the group and less signs containing irony, sarcasm, and Ron Paul. As much as I love the doc, (don’t forget to register 12 wks in advance!) we should try to stay a grassroots movement and joke signs, as much as I love jokes, make us appear less serious, less respectable. To be more respected, it’d be best to look more respectable.
Signs saying the following, for example, is what I think is needed:
If you make under $350,000, you are part of the 99% (these are needed the most)
Too big to fail is too big to exist
Re-enact the Glass-Steagall Act
Separate Investment Banks and Commercial Banks
I think that the folks who disapprove of Occupy Boston just don’t really understand what it’s all about.
Lastly, to the folks giving out cough drops, I love you.
Some more suggestions for signs:
Get money out of politics – Repeal Taft-Hartley
Would work for food – Unions would prefer I starve
Taft-Hartley – destroying jobs for over 60 years
Winning! Dude, I love you. No homo, bro.
HR 1489
lol wut
Sad that this exchange hasn’t had any edifying qualities at all. The people who love the status quo are all brainwashed. This country has been the world pioneer of brainwashing since the early 20th century. Edward Bernays, Sigmund Freud’s nephew, was the pioneer and top manipulator during nine decades of the 20th century. See “The Century of the Self” on youtube regarding the history of American brainwashing and manipulation. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda chief, had Bernays’ books on propaganda techniques in his library. Every so often in our controlled modern societies the people wake up from the nightmare. It happened in the sixties, and now its happening again. Its the re-emergence of a folk culture which means an authentic culture, not an ersatz culture like plastic mainstream American culture.
lol. Ah, yes. I love when the Boston Brownshirts complain that everyone is brainwashed but them.
dear fucktards.
the rain, mud, and cold will wash all your dirt and filth away in due time (if the police don’t get you first)
sincerely,
a self employed individual who works hard for his money and does not expect a free ride off the backs of others (like you all do)
the only people getting free rides in this country are the people who don’t need them.
Like the union-hacks Obama bailed out? Like the wall street donors to Obama who got bailed out?
Hey, I’m all against subsidies and bailouts, mofo. But you’re not; you just want that money stolen and given to the commies on the greenway.
you know that some of the occupiers are libertarians? there is a seat in occupy for everyone. even you.
lol. Tokenism by left-wing astro-turfers.
http://youtu.be/quAK3PKQUZc
Your point is lost by your use of profanity.
I too am self employed, no unemployment when there is no work, just gotta tough it out and survive.So I agree with you about working hard and no free ride (ass, cash or grass:nobody rides for free). But there is no denying that real wages for the middle and lower class have stagnated over the past 30 years while at the same time there has been unprecedented consolidation of wealth for the top 1%. A bigger middle class helps us all, certainly would provide more customers for me who could pay me what I am worth for the value that I add to their homes.
Yawn. And the standard of living since 1980 has gone way, way up.
Whining about someone having more than you, when they didn’t break any laws to get it, is childish. Grow up.
You rock, man.
fuck these parasites.
Dear odoylerules,
The only free ride I expect is your mom.
sincerely,
what
that doesn’t surprise me in the least bit coming from you. she passed away 6 years ago. Got anything better than a 6th grade comeback or are you done?
Done with your dead mom? No, not yet.
You act like a piece of shit and expect sympathy because your mom is dead? You have the nerve to classify my post as 6th grade level given your own post. I can at least admit mine was juvenile. You’re full of shit and don’t even know it.
You fucking parasitic leech whore. Why don’t you get some herpes from the local hippie slut and get run over on 93? You want everyone to give you everything for free. You are a miserable waste of carbon.
Waste of carbon? Like dude I guarantee you if we have enough of one thing it’s carbon. You should be embarrassed. Unless you were being humorous then I salute you cos that was fuckin hilarious.
Can’t hear you. What was that? I’m a republitard and I mixed up my carbon and oxygen. That would explain the brain damage.
Peps on this site should chill, nothing good comes out of hate.
CALL TO ACTION TO ALL Occupy Supporters – any post of the “whorefinder” should just be ignored. No matter how many times we say we are not leftists and that this is a non-partisan movement it is not registering. A broken record and a sorry excuse for a human being.
PLEASE STOP responding to him. Thanks for your support.
Cool. Agreed. Lose the whoreboy.

going and the ideas alive. Weather may not play as critical a role as you might wish it to. Finally, people from all walks of life are waking up to the enormity of this situation and will continue to demand some changes. How about some integrity, some honesty, some accountability, some transparency in government? That would be refreshing.
This is addressed to the moderator: I am respectfully requesting that you not publish posts that are not conducive to dialogue. These would include remarks that contain obscenities, insults, vitriol, and are not on point.
Discussion is valuable and relevant. Slurs and nonsensical comments by mentally unbalanced ‘posters’ need not be tolerated. and they certainly do not lead to valuable conversation.

How about a name with a little more thought behind it, instead of a falling-flat imitation of the Occupy Wall St Journal. Their name worked because it contained a double entendre, and because the Wall St Journal has a finance slant. This poorly executed imitation has neither.
This is Boston. You’re camped a block away from where the original Tea Party activists sparked the American Revolution. Why not a name reflecting one of Boston’s Revolution-era newspapers?
Occupy Boston Gazette.
There was also the Massachusetts Centinel. Dig a little. Brainstorm a while.
I’m really shocked you have no creative class types camped there with you who could’ve pointed out the glaringly obvious failure of this name choice. It’s painful to behold.
