The #OccupyWallStreet Megathread - Post all new updates here - Polidicks

Eh... Did not realize that. Sorry. Also... I demand that Seven Gallons of Peanut Butter... Now.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;32602220]Eh... Did not realize that. Sorry. Also... I demand that Seven Gallons of Peanut Butter... Now.[/QUOTE] The goal of these protests is not necessarily to push forward a set of concrete demands (although it may later on in order to reach the end goal), but to facilitate an environment for honest, legitimate political debate, one that involves the people as a force. That will most likely require instating new regulations to keep bank and corporate influence in check, which is also a large part of the sentiment of these people.

Speaking of demands, just saw this on their Facebook: [quote]This was unanimously voted on by all members of Occupy Wall Street last night, around 8pm, Sept 29. It is our first official document for release. We have three more underway, that will likely be released in the upcoming days: 1) [B]A declaration of demands[/B]. 2) Principles of Solidarity 3) Documentation on how to form your own Direct Democracy Occupation Group. This is a living document. you can receive an official press copy of the latest version by emailing [email]c2anycga@gmail.com[/email].[/quote] [url]http://www.dangerousminds.net/comments/first_official_statement_from_the_occupy_wall_street_movement/[/url]

I could almost see it being spread by anti-prostestors; as that list sucks. wait let me compare real quick. EDIT: ok same one posted before. It's not official.

[QUOTE='[sluggo];32602008']Put any thought into that, just maybe, if you stopped flaming me constantly, whether or not that is possible, we could have a much more civil and intelligent discussion of issues?[/QUOTE] When you come into a thread, without knowing what the topic is actually about, and start flapping your gums, how can you expect a 'civil and intelligent discussion of issues' The problem is you didn't take the time to know the issues, and when called on it, you resort to telling people you are reporting them "I'm telling on you >:[" and trying to act like you are the mature one. Try harder, buddy ;)

guys I think slug go has had enough, if he keeps it up just report and move in. so in news: Virtual March from moveon.org : [url]http://www.civic.moveon.org/joinvirtualwallstreet/?id=31654-9431738-V3vhJyx&t=4[/url]

[QUOTE=thisispain;32601973]maybe people's issues with you aren't your political views but rather how you present them?[/QUOTE] Mostly how he spells them. Unless you have dyslexia or something there is no way you could misspell welfare every time you mention it.

Wellfair sounds fun. Hey who wants to go to the Wellfair this weekend?

[QUOTE='[sluggo];32601958']I'm going to say this for the 1000th time: [B]DIFFERENT POLITICAL VIEWS =/= STUPID[/B] PEOPLE CAN DISAGREE. STOP TALKING MY TROLLING WHEN YOU CAN'T RESPOND WITHOUT INSULTS.[/QUOTE] lol you're a fucking fool if you think the republicans are actually for meaningfully decreased spending. perhaps only for programs they disagree with, but they are still very much the military keynesian economics party

I'll bring my dog lassie to the well fair, he'll love it.

Still no pics of the the 15 or so Marines who went to protect the protestors?

Scratch that, look two posts above and that's the only picture of the armed forces I've seen.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;32603003]Still no pics of the the 15 or so Marines who went to protect the protestors?[/QUOTE] There were a few more pics, but I didn't want to flood the page. Same group though, and haven't seen any other pics.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;32603003]Still no pics of the the 15 or so Marines who went to protect the protestors?[/QUOTE] There were supposed to be some in service blues, but I haven't seen any pictures of them yet.

As far as I know the US digital camo is more tan than green, while the Canadian stuff is deep green. [img]http://i.imgur.com/E2b1l.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/8voVL.jpg[/img] Our digital army camo is universal. We don't have a green/tan version anymore. Just one.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;32603203]There were supposed to be some in service blues, but I haven't seen any pictures of them yet.[/QUOTE] Those are the ones I'm asking about.

Could be old, as he is a vet would't have the latest gear. Even if they are a Canadian soldier, it doesn't mAke a big difference. They still surved they're country and (assuming they're a citizen now) could be said to be doing so again. I mean didn't we drag Canada into our shit war?

[QUOTE=rundevil;32603284]I mean didn't we drag Canada into our shit war?[/QUOTE] Nope, we said "Fuck you we're in Afghanistan were you should be.".

Or perhaps more like this: [img]http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/multicam-announcement/021810_03.jpg[/img]

What is the point of the digital camo anyway? is it somehow better than ordinary camo?

[QUOTE=Lambeth;32603501]What is the point of the digital camo anyway? is it somehow better than ordinary camo?[/QUOTE] It's all about breaking up colors. [img]http://i.imgur.com/7wIdW.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/X94IV.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Lambeth;32600831]boop [img]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsgaf56zmJ1qkapvjo1_500.jpg[/img] she got definitely got arrested and she's 13.[/QUOTE] how the fuck does she have a Canon at 13? it better be a badboy and not a decent one

Maybe her parents work at wall street

[QUOTE='[sluggo];32602008']we could have a much more civil and intelligent discussion of issues?[/QUOTE] We'll start when you do. A quick peruse down your post history shows you're devoid of this. [editline]3rd October 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=strayebyrd;32603944]how the fuck does she have a Canon at 13? it better be a badboy and not a decent one[/QUOTE] Oh how I wish I had a Canon. I have a shitty little Fuji.

[QUOTE=strayebyrd;32603944]how the fuck does she have a Canon at 13? it better be a badboy and not a decent one[/QUOTE] Could have bought a decent one if she's, say, a photography student or generally an art student (which she probably is judging by the dyed red hair and gir hat. art students are creative and wacky to the maxxx)

So what the fuck. Is there a media blackout on this? I'd think that this would be all over the news, but -- NOTHING.
