Occupy Boston, general assembly (not the actual occupation) sept 27th[views:46385][posts:221]___________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 9:32am - Boozegood ""] Disorganized, whiny, douchebag, annoying, Starbucks drinking/corporation hating, doo doo heads. For ever one person with a legitimate argument, there are 50(bajillion) others that are just whining about there own stupid mistakes that got them into debt. I'm sorry that your student loans that you used to pay for your degree in woman's-studies didn't pan out in the real world. It's just the fucking tea-party with smelly dreadlocks and much more ganja. (I agree with exposing shady corporate practices and cheating wall-street pigs...if only that is what this stupid 'occupy' events actually did). |

AWESOME ATTITUDE BRO. The news didn't, they themselves did. And I don't care if they are liberals/conservatives, I just wouldn't want to associate myself with 99% (lulz) of the people involved. And LOLOLOL at thinking these protests are actually about anything in particular. It's about people wanting to expose corporate/wall street bullshit, yes, but it's about them doing so by applying it to their own personal agendas. One example: "YES, so we agree, tax the rich!" "Wait what, I thought this was about being anti-bailouts/anti wall-street corruption/etc. etc." "WELL YES, BUT ALSO THOSE SAME RICH FOLKS SHOULD BE PENALIZED FOR BEING RICH!" "pokerface.jpg" |

It's just a fucking stupid thing too do. It's not even 'more than one thing' that fit together in any sort of way. Yes it's a tired fucking cliche, but it's true: don't start a war on two (or three, or four, or five, or...) and expect to win. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 3:13pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Not everything in life fits together in a neat little pattern. People are pissed off that their government no longer represents them and protesting about it. If you think that is stupid then I feel sorry for you. |

It's not stupid if you mean that it is lethargic for them. It is stupid if they think the way they are going about it is going to accomplish anything. Protests aren't stupid. THIS protest is stupid. |

Well, that all depends on the outcome. Right now it seems to be setting their cause back because of the way they present themselves, thus 'doing nothing' would have been more useful. I thought the idea was pretty nifty at first, than i saw footage of the protests, heard them talk, read their signs, etc. and that changed my whole outlook on OWS. I know my opinion really doesn't matter, but it's just one example. I'm sure I'm not the only person that this happened too. |

| ______________________________ [Oct 21,2011 4:54pm - ark ""] meh, people will see what they want to see. even at the tipping point there will always be people saying "well this isn't the revolution i wanted, i will continue to do nothing" |

For ever one person with a legitimate argument, there are 50(bajillion) others that are just whining about there own stupid mistakes that got them into debt. legitimate arguments dont matter when there are 50(bajillion) other shitty arguments? your not thinking. Its just popular where ever you are to bash these people because they look like hippies, and smell like hippies, so they must be hippies. let me give you a history lesson so that you can understand this isn't the 60s and this isn't going to stop. 1. 60s hippies were mostly uppermiddle class (think fake poor crusty). Occupiers while yes have uppermiddle class, also has the working class. you know people that have to work there asses off, and don't expect anything. 2. hippies eventually grew up went to the suburbs and got jobs. there are no jobs right now for occupiers to go to. even shitty ones. |

Crap analogy. I go to metal shows to enjoy metal music. Protests are just a way to accomplish something. So yes, if I go to one and feel that it isn't accomplishing anything I will find another means. Protests aren't the goal, they are supposed to be a way towards a goal, and they are one of the crappiest ways to get there. |

| ______________________________ [Oct 26,2011 5:07pm - Lamp ""] Maybe it's just because I've only seen it at night, but Occupy Providence seems really easy to ignore. There's a bunch of tents and signs and what not at Burnside Park, yeah... the cops don't seem to give a shit. Are they actually doing anything during the day? It would be pretty cool to see them make a mess out of traffic in the circle where the big skyscrapers are, especially considering not too far from that is the Bank of America building around 3-5pm... maybe they're doing that already? |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 26,2011 5:09pm - arktouros ""] i know it's a thing with the occupiers to try and avoid outright traffic blocking, so they don't piss off the general public. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 26,2011 5:17pm - Lamp ""] Well then I hope they're at least standing on the sidewalks holding signs and handing out pamphlets and shit in the middle of the day, but I've heard no reports of this whatsoever. |
