Paul Mc. is one of the "good Richie Riches" he's a good Richie Rich, isn't he Yes He is There are lots more decent ones. I don't know about Steve Jobs, I read he didn't give to charity, but that might not be true. Warren Buffett is caring and concerned. Bill Gates. Among others
Paul Is A Saint Look at what Steve Jobs...gave us...he is a saint as well!
Just think ..... if they spent their time protesting something like Occupy Wall Street ..... Occupy Liverpool .... there might not have been the Beatles and good music ..... Steve Jobs sleeping at a rally .... No Apple and istuff .... Bill Gates protesting ..... no Microsoft ..... with those two ..... a delay in the development of software .... glad they took their talents and made something of themselves instead of expecting a handout.

Exactly, OWS has a clear, intelligent message. They are fighting for their diminishing rights and representing the majority. It's in major contrast to the tea party (remember the signs..get your hands off my medicare and all the misspells) The tea party was being manipulated to activate against their own interests. OWS is global and is not going away.
So are locus and Bankok prostitues...proud of that too?
That depends, are locusts and Bangkok prostitutes also going to be organizing against a culture of corruption and greed among the richest 1%?
Ironicially - probably more effective...LOL...you wondered about 'doo doo' jokes, which tells me you haven't been following any news stories about these Occupiers and the fact that 'doo doo' is a real issue (you only selectively hear the few things you want to hear)....
I don't think you understand the concept of a peaceful protest. I'm betting if you lived in 1960s Alabama you'd mock whites-only restaurant sit-ins too: "There's no immediate, overnight change, why can't these idiots just give it up so I can order a sandwich? They aren't making a difference!" Oh, and I primarily get my news coverage from CNN, read USA Today and the New York Times on a daily basis and make heavy use of Google News. Obviously sanitation issues come up, just as they would at any large gathering of people over an extended period of time, but you seem to suggest an epidemic of crap flowing through the streets. That's simply not the case. If you were following a wide array of the coverage, you might understand that. But continue to make hypocritical accusations of "selective hearing" from inside your Faux, I'm sorry, Fox News cocoon.
Michael Moore has been making a mockery of the (supporting) far left. He lives well into the uppermost 1 percent & his dream vacation home is in an all white lakefront community & town. But, maybe you just don't get it or care...
Well, if Michael Moore was the spokesperson for the OWS or for liberals then you'd have a point. But he's not. And maybe you don't get it or care, but my beliefs don't preclude me from viewing Michael Moore as an opportunist and an attention whore, albeit one who shares a few of the same opinions as I do. As was pointed out, in the simplest terms, the protest isn't against the rich, it's against the rich who expect the lower and middle classes to sacrifice to restart the economy without actually making financial sacrifices themselves.

Then they should move to a different location and stops screwing local small businesses http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/item_Wq8d8Q0M0W98jwaQAVPvYL

That's definitely a problem, yet although it has been reported in other places, choosing a NY Post story sort of undermines the point. Still, I ask why this is the issue for you; if you are playing devil's advocate, you are basically saying 'Yes, this movement has merit in that it is trying to change the culture of greed and corruption on Wall Street, but since sales of 'I heart NY' t-shirts and McDonald's coffees are down, they need to give it up.' I'm by no means a Trekkie, but Spock's "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" comes to mind here. I feel badly for the small business owners -- as someone who's about to expand his family's small business to a new location, believe me I do -- but when you compare it to the financial well-being of the overwhelming majority of Americans, it's simply not as important. These owners should direct their ire towards a system that has fostered the onset of this movement, not the movement itself. At least that's how I feel about it.

I'm not going to cut down your news souces - so please don't cut down mine! It does not strengthen your position one bit. Pehaps the NYT ought to provide shuttles so the protesters can use their bathrooms to tidy up. They have a beautiful, spacious building uptown. I'm sure CNN has a NYC office as well along with restrooms

Here a new concept. Why don't these winier state governor's do something about what the OWS are protesting about. Why doesn't Bloomberg do something about Wall Street and bring charges to these wall street criminals. You want the OWS to move on.. listen to them and do something about it. Seattle mayor has decided to listen to the protester demands and work to do something on a state level to make more fair laws. This is due to the OWS. Things like doing away with this corrupt credit rating system that rates things higher than they are and the credit system which take and judges people for not paying a bill even when that bill is disputed. Or outlawing collection agency or remove all the power they give a collection to take a person to court and rack up hundreds of dollar for a 5.00 bad debt. It insane how these banks have pushed through laws to to collect on over top charges that shouldn't even be on a person credit. than they have the whole legal system working collecting ridiculous small debt . The system is squeezing these unemployed young people who tried to do everything right and got screwed by the same system that got them in this pickle to begin with. Go to school, take loans out, you'll make the money up when you get the good job we promise you you'll get. Than here... take a couple credit cards out while your at it....take 5-6 there free. Oh lets push a law though stopping these people from bankruptcy. We make them slaves for 20 years. But let us get bail out for screwing up. When I was young no way would you get a credit card unless you were employed and had a established credit proving you could afford to repay it.. Its a different game now.. No one want these young people to succeed. there setting them up for failure and government is right there screwing them too. There letting this shit go down.

There are a few sexually suggestive ones here: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/419392-the-10-funniest-ny-post-sports-headlines/page/11 A couple here: http://mikeresponts.wordpress.com/category/strippers/ And a few more in here: http://www.freefantasyfootballpicks.com/2011/09/30-funniest-new-york-post-sports.html Let's also mention some of the non-sports headlines with similar suggestiveness: http://www.inquisitr.com/107107/osama-bin-wankin/osama-bin-wankin/ http://www.breakingcopy.com/obama-beats-weiner-headline http://thegloss.com/sex-and-dating/the-woman-the-post-deemed-hooker-teacher-responds-to-post-headline/ http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2008/03/the_greatest_da.php http://richm29.web.officelive.com/default.aspx And, perhaps their most famous: http://www.usabilitycounts.com/2009/02/22/quicktip-sundays-short-form-blog-and-why-headlines-are-so-important/ By no means is this collection complete, but it gives you an idea. You might also notice from sustained familiarity with the tabloid the infamous Murdoch sensationalism and conservative bias that we have come to know and love from so many media outlets, hence me calling into question your use of a Post story.

I wish I could understand being half way being told that all the crazies are going to be deported and I better start running a calm political arena here. I am a little upset with someone on facebook. I vote the way I see as I fee the best person for the job is. I so far have not seen rational alternative solutions to national problems . Instead i have seen almost a hatefilled racist borderline fascist type of attitude come up. I simply want to step back and make up my own mind on who to vote for. I am still calming down. love doris

Ok, many of those same jokes I've heard on late night tv - Letterman, Leno, Fallon, Ferguson and a few of the others. I just think NYP is, in it's own way, competing w/ the comics. btw - I have never been a cover to cover reader of NYP - to me it's just one source of local news. The reason why I'm not attaching my response is the allow you to edit your post more to the liking of the Maccaboard standards - they might just be a bit too much.

Ok, many of those same jokes I've heard on late night tv - Letterman, Leno, Fallon, Ferguson and a few of the others. I just think NYP is, in it's own way, competing w/ the comics. btw - I have never been a cover to cover reader of NYP - to me it's just one source of local news. The reason why I'm not attaching my response is the allow you to edit your post more to the liking of the Maccaboard standards - they might just be a bit too much.

Yeah, I considered the appropriateness of the content, but I felt that if they were published for the consumption of the general public at newsstands, then linking to them would be safe. As for the story, as I touched on above, I really do understand that the OWS isn't perfect, I just think that their endgame is far more important than any shortcomings the protesters may have or the headache they cause the surrounding businesses and residents (I'm pretty sure I used a Spock reference, but I know it made sense ). I also feel that some of the outrage over the protesters' sanitation, treatment of non-protest locals and other 'non-central' issues (for lack of a better term) has more to do with opposition to the movement itself rather than any legitimate sanitary or local business concern. But I would be overly presumptuous to label you as such, and I can certainly respect being opposed to the OWS in light of these recent revelations from independent neighbors of the protests, however in my opinion for the sake of our economy it would be wonderful if these anti-OWS folks turned their ire from the well-meaning-if-a-bit-unkempt protesters to the irresponsible members of Wall Street whose actions have laid the foundation for the movement. I'm up for more discussion -- I find these debates to be a delightful diversion; more of a game rather than something to take personal offense to -- but if you want to just agree to disagree, it's cool. I sometimes feel these online discussions take on a life of their own and a person no longer fuels the fire to make any sort of point, but to avoid looking like a coward. I'm by no means waving the white flag of surrender, but if you've tired of the discussion I promise I won't take that to mean you are either. (I really tried hard not to make that sound sarcastic or condescending, but given the tenor of our debate it might be hard to take my words at face value; trust me, this is sincere.)

The problem isn't that the ows people are pooping in the streets and disturbing the lives of their neighbors. Those are just the symptoms of the real problem: their childish self-centeredness. Seriously -- they take over a space that is meant to be accessible to the general public, knowing that the space wasn't intended for that use, then claim to be the representatives of 99% of the population, most of whom disagree with them. And then they throw fits when they are called out for their deliberately anti social behavior. Whether you agree with their cause or not, ask yourself: is this the sort of behavior you would normally associate with an adult, or with a four year old? Given their immature behavior, it's not surprising that they hold such un-nuanced, limited views of the dynamics of the economy and society. A large percentage of them obviously have anti-social personality disorders.

Well, why don't you go there and explain it all to them, then. Since you know everything about the "dynamics" of the economy and society. Explain it here to us.

When did I claim to know everything about the dynamics of the economy and society? By the way, why do you show that little cartoon of Paul squirming as if he has to urinate?

What are you basing your last statement on? Have you seen and/or conducted research to validate this "fact"? Or, more likely, are you trying to give your opinion more weight by making such an assertion? I don't really get your claim of "anti-social" behavior, unless you aren't familiar with the concept of a protest. You seem to confuse protesting the status quo with anti-social behavior (also, even someone with an un-nuanced and limited view of society would hopefully recognizing that gathering en masse for a cause completely flies in the face of being anti-social). And unless you are either in the 1% or are a conservative lemming, you have absolutely no place to question the depth of one's knowledge on economic and societal issues. My God, if the lack of direction and tone of the OWS is sometimes annoying, you'd think an educated person would be enraged at the prospect of being in the 99% yet supporting the 1%, even if they weren't keeping up with the progress of the movement. How can any rational person consider recent history and not connect the dots on GOP-endorsed tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, an embarrassing lack of regulation on Wall Street and the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression? To me, weighing the pros and cons of OWS and Wall Street, opposing the former and/or supporting the latter is cutting your nose of to spite your face -- unless, of course, you are in the 1% and happily build your fortune off the back of the average American.

I base my statement on the behavior that I just described in the sentences immediately above.

Oh, so you just don't understand what it means to be anti-social. Well, ignorance is bliss I suppose.
