Sentiment for #OWS (Occupy Wall Street)

If our elected official is a person, why does it feel like I am dealing with Exxon-Mobil?  Why do I feel as I am being asked to bend over so they can apply some lubrication where the sun don’t shine?

    So anyone who wants a job as a teacher should be able to have one?

    I’m sorry. I figured that a comedy website would allow snarky comments. This will be my last post.

    I work in downtown Chicago and have had the pleasure of speaking to quite a few of the 99 percenters. They’ve crowded up my train over the last couple weeks. I’m sorry that joking about them is viewed as offensive. I thought that this was this site was all about.

    I got confused by the send the tea party and all people who disagree with a liberal point of view to an island post or the ones about Ricky Perry being dumb(he is) or the countless others. I’m sorry that disagreement on a comedy website is viewed as arrogance. I’m not even a conservative.

    I grew up in a blue collar city in mid-Michigan whose sole source of sustenance was a general motors power train plant. My family would be classified as working poor. I worked my ass off to pay for my own college education. I had a 4.0 GPA as an Economics major but realized that there just weren’t jobs out there as an ECON Major so I switched to what made more sense at the time. (Logistics) I’m not overly gifted. I just work my ass off. I was always the kid who had to read a book 2 or 3 times to get a concept.

      “So anyone who wants a job as a teacher should be able to have one”

      No. You asked what kind of job did he expected to get as a cultural studies grad and I supplied the most obvious one.

      “I work in downtown Chicago and have had the pleasure of speaking to quite a few of the 99 percenters.”

      Really? And they all came across as stupid to you?

      ” They’ve crowded up my train over the last couple weeks.”

      You have your own train? That must have cost you a pretty penny. Be a job creator and hire some of them to clean it up.

      ” I’m sorry that joking about them is viewed as offensive. I thought that this was this site was all about.”

      Oh please Brian. Just because I’m a liberal doesn’t mean I’m stupid. This isn’t humor you’re using. It’s derisive commentary and you know it.

    Maybe because you’re protesting on the wrong door step?

    I love this -

    “When movements come up with specific demands, they cease to be movements and transform into political campaign rallies,” said Carrefour, who works as a coat check attendant despite holding a master’s degree in cultural studies.

    ##Ummm okay. Don’t demand anything tangible. Nice work. Also, what job did he really expect to get as a cultural studies major?

      Carre-who?

      “what job did he really expect to get as a cultural studies major?”

      Uh, teaching. Or isn’t that considered a real job where you come from?

      P.S. I trashed you other snarky comment. Calling people stupid because you haven’t walked in their shoes or talked seriously with them isn’t constructive.

    And we pay for them to do this and they tell us it’s for our own good and we know it’s not, but we have no power to stop them — maybe until now? Maybe change is coming.
