Something stupid done in 5...4...3...

Headline made me chortle.

More shiatting on police cars and the street? Oohhh no... I bet its more rape!!

FTFA:
"even simply lying down are forbidden"

NO Planking

Oh, good. I was wondering if Occupy had disappeared from the media spotlight all together.

I like them. At their best, they get people talking about our national problems. At their worst, they make for hilarious Fark threads.

From the picture it's evident they learned to focus their efforts in a more constructive direction.

"Hi, mom!"

I wouldn't worry about it, since they won't get kicked out unless they actually "do" something. They haven't yet and don't seem likely to in the future.

Awesome - I was looking for a place to sit around and do nothing in, without listening to my Mom biatch about being a loser.

Soon to be ITT: Repuglicrat closet boys beeping and darling while they vote against their own interests.

so people can congregate in a public space and make their voices heard but they can't move in or establish semi-permanent residence... sounds fair to me.

Rapefest 2012 is here.

aww, your mom shouldn't sell herself short

How did that go again?

First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then they laugh at you some more.
Then they ignore you again.
Then you go back to your dorm and tell Mom you need gas money for the Lexus.

It was fun while it lasted. Ah, the good old days of listening to the left compare themselves to Gandhi while collectively spanking it because "The Revolution" had finally come.

Good that these people are trying to keep it going, the problems like wealth inequality and bank bailouts are good issues to be protesting unlike protesting that some poor people are going to have access to healthcare.

Now with Lemon scent!

How do I get into the part of the 99% that can not only afford to live in NY, but can afford to camp.out in public parks for extended periods of time? Somehow I think I'm in a vastly different section of the 99 than they are.

You just described the lives of thousands of homeless people. Damn bums with all their stupid money can just go and retire at 50!?

I occupied for months and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Oh and maced, ooh ... almost forgot about the rape. Good times indeed.

By the way, who has two thumbs and almost single handedly forced Obama to accept the resignation of his investment banker in Chief, Bill Daley?

I typically don't see too many bums with iPhones and designer jackets, but maybe that's a NY thing too?

they make my fark threads pink.

Most of these "protestors" are angry at the economy, and just don't know who to blame. They blame Wall Street, only because it was a convenient enemy which was made "evil" by the liberal media.

Main cause of the bad economy? Housing crisis.
Cause of the housing crisis? Barney Frank (D), Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the government subsidizing bad loans and giving investors incentives to make bad loans.
Interesting how quickly everyone seems to forget that and instead just wants to blame big banks and Wall Street.

Republicans and the "big banks" actually wanted to put more regulation on lending to prevent bad loans, but the Democrats would have none of it.

See the video: Video Link (new window)

So now, these people, instead of trying to better themselves are just going to sit and biatch and cry and wait and hope the government helps them and gives them more and more, when ironically (for all those hipsters at OWS) it is the government that caused most of the problem in the first place.

How long have they been there now protesting? If some of them spent just one-third of that time walking around looking for help wanted ads (yes, they do exist), they could be a lot better. Try to help yourself instead of complaining that you're not super wealthy right of college.

Do you eventually get tired beating up strawmen, or is that more or less your thing?

except: More than 84 percent of the subprime mortgages came from private lending institutions in 2006 and the share of subprime loans insured by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac decreased as the bubble got bigger (from a high of insuring 48 percent to insuring 24 percent of all subprime loans in 2006).

LouDobbsAwaaaay: You can see the success of the corporate media's smear-machine in this thread. It's like a contest to see who can spout the most Fox News talking points in here.

/money beats exercising your rights once again

Says the Parrot in the conference room of the Socialist Party of America,

IRONY!

Remember kids, we musn't get in the way of those who crashed the nation's economy and faced no consequences! Obey Lord Bloomberg and his Private Army!

Callous: This is gonna be like watching a monkey play with a hand-grenade. Eventually he's gonna pull the pin and blow himself up, it's just a matter of when.

I read that in Peter Griffin's voice.

The main cause of the housing crisis was wage stagnation. Demand would have dried up and housing would have crashed if the bad loans weren't made. Granted, making those loans was like shredding the credit card bill so the husband doesn't find it. It doesn't solve the problem, but maybe you can get the alimony amount set before he figures it out.

what the Fark, where did you get your economics degree at??

If you are interested in corruption, wars, and having your rights slowly taken away, have I got some great news for you!

Using the phrase "against your own interests" will earn my unwavering opposition to anything you propose, because fark you, that's why. It is just the left's version of "both sides are bad".

Almost as though the movement wasn't exclusively comprised of the poor and destitute...

I have quite a few friends whom are developers or work for marketing firms whom make $100k+ who are actively involved in OWS. They volunteer their services from home during the week (after work) and show up at the protest during the weekend. I don't know any hippies or bums involved. Judging on my anecdotal evidence at the scene, maybe 1/4 of the people aren't employed. Many freelance while protesting, or only protest on weekends. As long as you have internet access, most people can still work w/o being at an office.

All my occupier friends (multiple cities) have jobs, a few have $100K+ jobs. I also have family members that are very close to being, if not part of the 1% that also support OWS; can we get a new talking point already?

I can't argue against concentrating all of that wealth out of the economy in general makes the economy far less robust and able to function when there are bubbles etc. around, but otherwise please show your work when you make such a statement. This sounds a little rhetorical than anything else.
