As long as they still hate capitalism and job creators i don't see the problem.

Ice skating in Tampa? Maybe Occupy Chicago should take up big-wave surfing.

I see - so when they're peaceful, they're lazy, but when a few get violent, they're all evil.

Grasp at straws much?

Tai Chi? They're training for the revolution! Insurgents! TERRORISTS!!!

It's hard to be angry here today, it's 75 degrees and sunny, plus it's nice to not be around foxnews watching scared old white people

Yeah, it isn't like they could be looking for jobs.

This. The disorganized mob/highly-efficient revolutionary guard cognitive dissonance seems to be starting to cause some brain damage on the right.

Why are they so scared about starting a conversation about socioeconomic inequality?

Why are they so terrified of the people's voice?

"You can't be angry all the time."

Would someone please let all the middle-aged lesbians know about that?

marsgwar: Yeah, it isn't like they could be looking for jobs.

That's why Florida unemployment is 10.6%; no one is looking for jobs.

Now that Hillsborough County has banned panhandling I'm sure they are feeling the pinch.

That's not anger, that's Fear. They jump at shadows you see.

The problem is they jump at shadows no one else sees.

Well, I dunno about Tampa but Occupy Seattle has been engaged in feeding the homeless and is starting to organize crews to help clean up Capitol Hill.

Occupy Atlanta is also feeding the homeless. They have received donations of clothing. I assume people are donating winter clothing to help them stay the course.This development has them hinking of setting up some sort of process for distributing clothing to the homeless.

What the fark is the deal with that (and airline food)? Why are gay men typically fun to be around but lesbians - especially as they grow more butch with age - so farking impossible to breathe the same air with?

When I was a bartender they were notorious for being the worst customers aside from junkies wandering in for a hustle. And it's not because I'm a guy; they were even meaner to the hot blonde girl I worked with. We're all social animals here - try smiling and/or not barking at everyone who says hello.

No one dismisses you because you're gay. We don't like you because you're an asshole.

Did you ever stop to think you're only noticing the people who fit your stereotypes? You know, that there are plenty of other women you came across who were lesbians but you didn't know because they didn't fit your angry butch stereotype?

And on the flip side, did you consider that you only notice the fun gay guys because you assume (incorrectly) that all the grumpy jackass guys you encounter are straight?

Not to mention what percentage of the the angry butch women were straight...

(Straight women can have short haircuts too. It's allowed. Promise.)

Yes, I have considered that, and it's why I specifically mentioned "butch." We all have stereotypes in our minds, but the only one I've seen proven consistently true is the idea of the angry butch lesbian...not all lesbians in general.

I don't presume that every grumpy guy I meet is straight. The fabulously gay man is indeed a stereotype just like butch girls, but the former is actually pleasant.

Well, yes.

You should know by now that its always an either/or situation whenever possible.

I am.

The protesting hippies add another degree to my constant, simmering anger.

I'm not a hippy and I'm working with Occupy Seattle. I hope that provides even more fuel for your rage gland.

Those aren't assault marines, what, were they fired from a catapult? Did they jump off a cliff en masse?

They are Angry Marines, they were most likely fired from a Predator Angrinator. Though the Angry Marines have more than one method of Ballistic Marine Delivery.

ALWAYS ANGRY! ALL THE TIME!
