Enough with this Occupy bullshit.

[frankcastle]

Please suggest how these drug addicts can nut up and cause real change to level the unbalanced playing field created by corporations and the governments that they have bought.

I would argue that they have taken the correct first step.

Perhaps the first step is to get the word out to see if you can gain supporters/more bodies before trying to tilt at windmills?

I think that all us social cripples and uggos should get together and start an Occupy Vagina movement.

After it is not fair that some people because of a combination of looks, wealth, charm and status get to have much more access to much higher quality of vagina than those who are less blessed. Unfair dammit, it is because the system is biased. They didn't earn it. So let us unlovable freaks gather round and take over other peoples shit until they give us the vagina that the more attractive folks are bogarting. Share the Vagina.


Oh but when you put it like that the whole occupy movement sounds nuts.

Or at the very least have it that like the most logical of races the Vulcans, that everyone breed only once every 7 years. That way it would be fair. Now for most of you it would mean much less breeding, but for some of us much much more.

Maybe we could occupy the Royal York, I mean if you are going to totally ignore property rights, might as well be comfortable out it, and anyhow the sort of people who can afford to stay there are the sorts of dudes who get all the chicks.

I have nothing to worry about except my own bullshit. Sitting around TALKING and doing nothing else will change NOTHING. These 'Occupiers' would've been better off all marching to Parliament Hill and making a stand to the death there.

But since none of them are willing to DIE for their cause they will accomplish NOTHING.

You are so ridiculous, I think you must be a parody.

Your logic is that if you are not willing to die for a cause than you will accomplish nothing?

I guess by definition since you are here alive posting you have accomplished nothing!

And Patton just might disagree with you.

Have only read the title of the thread, but have to respond I think the movement is a good thing, and has opened some minds.

If you really believed that, you wouldn't be making posts that try to discredit the occupy movement.

You seem to be obsessed with the occupiers dying. Most who would oppose the occupy movement would claim there is no point in marching to Parliament Hill because parliament can't agree on anything. One minute, an MP says one thing, the next minute another MP says the exact opposite.

But since none of them are willing to DIE for their cause they will accomplish NOTHING.

This statement makes no sense at all. They have already accomplished a lot. They have shifted the political dialogue here in Canada, US and Europe. And they haven't finished yet.

The Occupy movement will simply fail. As stated above, none of them have any real balls or are willing to put it on the line.
The only way to get REAL change is how the U.S. did it starting back in 1775.

Which of course is impossible.

But the funny thing, those of us who live in modern democracies believe significant changes can be brought about without spilling a whole bunch of blood.

Who would have thunk it.

These occupiers are....

idiots.

If banking systems and countries were corrupt and about to go bust, banks would be afraid to lend one another for fear the other was insolvent.

Remember, there's like all this water between us and them so there's no way were interconnected. Otherwise, you'd see the US lending money to the ECB (ie. swaps). At least not in this dark place I've put my head.

You may think they are idiots but you have got their (rather ill formed) arguments backwards.

They don't think banks are about to go bust...they think banks and other large institutions have too much of the wealth...

But carry on.

My comment about them being "idiots" is sarcasm.

Some in that group are on the scent , others are in know. They stand for something and that seems admirable.

The link describes European banks (France, Spain, England, etc.) depositing (they have new money from the US and others and want to earn interest on it safely, short term, until they can decide on a better investment instead of having it sit there idly) their money with the ECB at a low interest rate instead of with each other at a higher interest rate. This is because they fear the other banks may be insolvent and could go bust overnight. Many predict a major European bank failure in the next few months.

How the US is connected is because large US banks hold european sovereign (Italy, Greece, Spain, etc.) bonds (debt) that may not be paid back. If that happens, the European problem spreads. The US does not want that, so they lend overseas to keep things afloat. The ECB cannot (by their charter; or whatever it is called) print money: the US can. The US lends (prints) money because the E. banks need to re-capitalize (increase their cash holdings). Since things are so bad over there, many don't trust the banks and other stuff and the banks cannot raise capital. So, in the form of currency swaps, the US re-capitalizes the banks. It's a form of QE.

QE is like this: prior to QE their are 10,000 people with your skills who can demand a certain wage. After QE, the money (your tax dollars or what is added to the national debt) which was used to train these additional people, there is 20,000 people who have your skills and compete with you. As a result, your wage decreases 50% because your field was already saturated. Your boss cans you, and hires a person who will accept a lower wage. He (part of a larger institution) is given a bonus for his business acumen (political influence - ability to encourage the use of tax dollars, or print money, to train more employees with the skills he/she needs). He has more money, you and the new hire have less.

I'm not an expert, but this should be pretty close.

My bad then.
