There's also a Democratic Underground page on Facebook if anyone is into that.  They're bashing about some poor old woman who used to be a DUmmie and is now a Pitcairner.

Thanks for the link!

Yeah, see, banks are bad or something. Rich people too, yeah, they're like bad too. Did I mention greedy? Yeah, they're like greedy too. I went to college and borrowed a bunch of money. I didn't want to, but they, like, made me do it or something. I got all A's in my Women's Studies and dead languages classes, but can't find a job that doesn't interfere with my life or something. Yeah, they like want me to work and stuff and help them make, you know, profits or something. Yeah, that's wrong. So.... can anyone just send me money instead?

97% of all workers make a below average income
If income was allocated equally, everyone would be paid $127,000 per year, enough to make everyone in society wealthy.

Must be new math.  Kinda figured average would amount to 50% of the workers.

Half of all Americans are below average.  We should demand government do something about the inequality.

I think the IRS has the average income somewhere around $45k.

'Average' can translate to the mean (Aka arithmetic average), the median (Equal number above and below the line), or the mode (Most common number).  I think you're talking about median, and the DUmmie (Correctly or not on the actual value quoted) is talking about mean.

Median of course.
I seriously doubt the DUmmie knows the difference in any of them.

Dis find one more mind-numming bit of stupidity over there.
This takes the cake and the icing.

Posted Oct. 21, 2011, 8:29 p.m. EST by VeganBaby

Please, if you're donating food please make sure you donate vegan friendly foods along with regular foods, although I'd prefer an all vegan food donation for everyone, but I realize it might be to selfish to ask that. Also if you're donating clothing and bedding try to be aware that there are those of us who are vegans wear and use items made of hemp, linen and canvas.

Thank You for your cooperation.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

I'm kicking this from over the weekend.  They have a new thread up, basically saying, "all you freepers, GTFO!"  

Those guys squabble just like the DUmmies.  And they're trying to work toward "consensus?"  Never happen.  

Another thread was kind of interesting, and I think it fortold the end of the movement.  It will be money before cold weather.  There's something like $5 million rumored to have been donated.  Certain people are rumored to be taking stipends.  Where does that money go?  To "leaders?"  To "Teh People?"  I sense implosion, fueled by selfishness and greed.  

LINK

There's a good thread.  In it, a raving loon wants to just not use money at all.  If someone disagrees or points out a problem, he says GET THE **** OUT YOU ****ER!  Also, he wants to kill "dead souls."

OWS Failed. Now what? (User Submitted)

Posted Oct. 19, 2011, 1:37 p.m. EST (4 days ago) by spidey


Let's be realistic for a moment. Besides 15 minutes of fame, after a month or protests OWS has failed to accomplish at least 1 concrete demand. Holding sings and sitting around is not effective. Time to go big or go home how far are you willing to go?

You just repeated the question; I'm not sure why.
 
By exercising an unrestricted freedom of assembly, which had not been possible in NYC for about a decade now, OWS re-established New Yorkers' right to assemble.
 
A fundamental human right guaranteed by the first amendment to our constitution had been subjected to the whims of the Bloomberg administration for years. OWS's success in restoring the right to assemble is a huge victory for New Yorkers and anyone who cares about human rights and the constitution.
 
It remains to be seen what else OWS can accomplish in the coming weeks and months. But even if we accomplish nothing else, we've already accomplished a tremendous victory for human rights in America by re-establishing the right to assemble.

the right to assemble in America was never lost. but ok, I'm willing to see past that. Now after a month of free assembly, what has OWS done? can't you at least mention 1 concrete improvement in the lives of the 99%?

SisterRay2 points 3 days ago


This is the last time I'll answer the same question. After a month of assembling freely, OWS has made at least 1 concrete improvement in the lives of the 99%: we have restored the right of the people to assemble. No longer will we have to ask permission to exercise our fundamental human rights. No longer will we be herded into cages placed on the outer boundaries of town and called "free speech zones". We the people are once again free to assemble in public and voice our political views.

So the measure of success for OWS is based on the current system of govt enforcing the first amendment of the constitution and allowing you to voice your opinion? I wonder what the extremists in the organisation, who would rather remove our govt, would say about making such a claim of success.

replypermalink

SisterRay3 points 2 days ago


I don't know what "the measure of success for OWS" is. I know what our goal is: it's to hold Wall Street accountable. And I know that OWS has already accomplished at least one concrete change, contrary to the taunts of the derisive nay-sayers: we have re-established the right of the people to assemble in public and voice our political views. Let the scoffers scoff as they will; we should be proud of this tremendous victory we have won for human rights in America.
 
That's not the end of the movement, of course. But it is a necessary precondition for organizing as a movement in order to achieve our ultimate goal of holding Wall Street accountable.

we just need to decentralize a little bit, take the power from the federal government and give it to the people and the states. Oh and definitely cut government spending by cutting their pay, they should have a lesson in sacrifice; Congress should not have the power to control the wage.
