One of them actually accuses nad of being condescending:

"The economy is improving, therefore OWS will go away."
This traditional thinking has one wrinkle though. Take a look at youth unemployment. Also take a look at student debt and what jobs kids can get.
This is a very similar pattern world wide. It does not matter if this is Tel Aviv, Cairo, Washington, or Paris. We are living the new GLOBALIZED economy paradigm. Heck, yesterday Ricky was going on this and how our jobs are way too expensive and can't compete. Globalization is one of the forces behind this.
So think about it...go to college and work as a waiter is the present condition of youth, regardless of where.
And it is one of the drivers to this global revolution.

I am a little weary of hearing OWS adherents start thread after thread on DU to remind us that they -as well as OWS- are still relevant.
I question why that needs to be repeated so often.
And my initial response to you was in regards to your history meme.

43. I got a solution for you
Hide thread, or better yet...ignore poster. That way you won't have to bother your precious mind. I am serious on that. I am not going to stop posting on something that happens to be of interest to me and quite a few others to please you.
But it is you who invariably, like a moth drawn to light, comes into these threads. If I am weary of a subject, and there are plenty, I just don't participate in them. I am sure you can do that too. Otherwise we will have to conclude that you have a need to come into them and repeat the same. Hey at least you haven't complained of camping...perhaps we are slowly, as in very slowly, making some progress.

46. But this is entertaining.
And an interesting experiment in debates and human nature.
Plus I have a philosophical stance against putting anyone on Ignore.
Plus, plus, we moths are helpless when you shine a brighty thing in our eyes.

OWS is relevent to the price of duck dodo in China....on Wednesdays.

So the republican HOR is responsible for the economy improving.

It's funny how every time someone on DU disagrees with her she attacks them personally. You are the perfect liberal Nadin.

The entire thread is hilarious.
Nads continues to insult any and all that disagree.
Then one of her syncophats decides to post this.

68. 5000 protester for the Rose Parade in LA. BS**T, closer to eighty. That's 80 DUmmie
Yesterday was a day of action in NYC against the NDAA. Which accomplished...nothing
Occupy is carrying out Occupy Foreclosures throughout this Country. And promptly thrown out
Occupy in many cities hold GA nightly. So small, no one notices
Lots going on with the Occupy movement. Nothing going on, it's dead
Jan 17th is Occupy Congress in DC, I believe. Oh goody, we can't wait

The woman raises condescending to a whole new level.

Here is a WW2 era letter from a US soldier to his mother. Rather long and not pertaining to this subject exactly but the last sentence is why we can't afford to allow the OWS people, socialist, liberals, democrats and the Obama crowd to get control of America.

The economy is improving, DUmmies? Really?
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-13/poverty-in-u-s-climbed-to-17-year-high-in-2010-as-household-income-fell.html
Average household income has DECLINED from 2009 to 2011--a period in which the Obama administration claimed the economy and our situation was IMPROVING; i.e., post-recession.
Couple that with the relative stagnation of the market and decline in home values, both WEALTH and INCOME have taken a beating.

BTW for the doubters, the Occupy movement has generated a LOT of discussion for a social movement that's less than 4 months old. There was an article in the Tennessean about Occupy Nashville today. One of several that have been on the front page in this red state newspaper over the last few months.
Yes, DUmbass, they made the front page.
The article was about a Christmas Day brawl between a couple of Nashville wino chicks, rolling around on the ground, each with a handful of hair.
It was as effective as any other political statement the hippies and homeless winos have made.
The fat one kicked the hell out of the skinny one.

Oh goody...a new meta word for them to play with. How much you want to be her the most of the DU pronounces it "pair-a-dig-um"

:lmao: Thanks for clarifying the reportage.

Lesson learned... don't try to start a fight outside of your weight class.

Not unless you can land the first blow, in a vulnerable spot, and run like hell! :bolt:
