LOL. My younger brother is an anesthesiologist in Bellingham. He is sinking 800 grand into a remodel of his $700,000 home. You got to love all those Western Washington students taking ceramics for a major, sleeping in tents and making demands in their free time.

Well, now I completely understand! Lol at using a language which I'm sure none of them can read.

HOLY FUK at an 800K renovation...when will it be mine turn for that? He must be one of the best at Peace Health...

ITP (in this post): some ******* makes implications of everyone else in the thread without having a clue about their situation or reason for thinking occupy protesting is silly.

[hooked4life]

So - some of those demands are really quite good and make a lot of sense. A lot of it does read like a joke, but that's not the point. So this group sounds like asses...

But yes, let's just pretend like everything is fine and the ultra powerful and ultra wealthy have our best interests at heart and the plebs never have to fight back.

[Merauder]

90% taxed over 1 million

boss made a million

you're unemployed now

Brb expecting all sorts of sh!t for free.
Brb expecting "income equality" (see: Socialism)
Brb where is the funding for all of this "free" stuff coming from?

I'm certainly not saying this country is run flawlessly, I don't think anyone is saying that. But at what point is personal responsibility called into question?
You want to "guarantee" yourself a good job? Go to school for a degree that's in demand, not fuking "Native American Cultural Studies" or some garbage.
For many of these people, they think they're entitled to everything. They ARE NOT, and they shouldn't be. You want something? Go and work for it, and make life choices that will allow for that to happen.

Explain how they are good.

[jeff_vangundy]

should take bobcats and drive those tents into whatever body of water their situated by. crisis averted

[ho_124]

LOL'd at 90% tax for income over 1 million... So if I bust my ass off to make 2 million bucks, I only get 200 thousand... What a joke, mise well just work for 900 grand and just sit on your ass for the rest of the year.

[hooked4life]

Explain how they are good.

Two party system really is destroying America. Politicians not being funded by whatever multinational has the most money would do a lot to fix that. Boom. Two demands right there.

Electoral college is just fcking stupid. - There, three, all about elections. All three make a ****ton of sense.
