I'm obviously not aware of all the minutiae regarding the American political scene.

That's okay.

We all have the right to be uninformed.

Not only that, Andrew Breitbart has deliberately misrepresented scientific research claiming they say the exact opposite of what the papers actually say. He was also one of the loudest screamers over "climategate", one of the most deliberately contrived attempts at manufacturing a crisis by misrepresenting emails by climate scientists trying to twist their words into a way that makes them look as though they are saying global warming is a fraud. He also called for the execution of one of the people whose emails were hacked.

Breitbart is a megalomaniacal fraud and liar.

I'm sorry, but you lost me at Anderson Cooper... Really? Cooper? Like that guy is unbiased.

I used to watch him from time to time, but I realized over time (the more he talked about politics) that he should be working at MSNBC instead. (He's not an Olbermann-level kook, I'll grant you that though.)

Brietbart vs. Anderson Cooper
You're both losing.

It doesn't matter if he is biased or unbiased. What matters is if he is right in the video and he is.

:lol

Me or Breitbart?

You're overly sensitive, it's not always about you. (Why, it's Breitbart of course. Look in what thread we are!)

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Me or Breitbart?

The latter.

I was worried that my post could be taken either way, heh.

 

[richiek]

I see that Canadian Psycho is picking up where Manos left off.

Seriously. He hasn't addressed a single substantive point anyone has made. I have no problem with his view point. I don't even care that he supports Breitbart. But if you're going to debate people, you should actually address issues that people raise.

I hope it's not an alt or something. But seriously, dislike this shitty continuous barrage of one liners or moot points that add very little to the conversation or debate at hand. At least combine the posts and quotes in to one. But seriously, hope it's not another Manos who's going to shit up the thread with countless points of nonsensical babble that drown out the more important stuff.

 

[SirButterstick]

As for Occupiers and all whiners alike, it's just that I chose to blame myself first for my failures and shortcomings in life. Younger, I too was pointing fingers and blaming other people left and right, but that's just counterproductive (though, admittedly, easier on the ego).

Oh, wait until you grow up a bit. You'll see.

What, you think you're entitled to a substantive counterpoint? Whiner.

 

[dave is ok]

Nope, not ironic at all. I am tired of these entitled losers. And you know what? I am NOT rich or in the "1%", lol...

Typical left wing attack against something one doesn't agree with.

And remember this kids (GAF is mostly a site for teens, so this is not sarcasm at your expense): Canadians elected a Conservative government, so there are Canadians who are conservatives...

I hope those elected conservatives do whats good and right and get rid of your SOCIALIST health care system.

 

[makingmusic476]

Full list of all 10 talking points. It's made me sick to my stomach.

I love the comments on that Yahoo article:

Don't say "You're being screwed" that sounds bad. Say, "you're pleasuring the screwer". It's a happy thing.

Don't say "bribes", say "political donations".

Well, obviously I'm not going to attempt to make a direct link. But as the richer get richer and greedier, the money does need to come from somewhere, and we all know which way excrement rolls.

 

[Morn]

So yesterday they released most of the Occupy LA arrests from jail and as part of the release they are requested (not sure if it's a strict requirement) to take classes on what the First Amendment really means.

The federal government manipulating american supply and using socialist policies to "protect" our farm industry has done far more harm than the fallacy that wealth is a zero sum game.

 

[Dude Abides]

That's just the DA posturing. The majority haven't even been charged with anything.

 

[Bealost]

My intent wasn't to make the point that absolute wealth is a zero sum game, but merely the idea that relative wealth is a zero sum game. Wealth inequality isn't a big deal as long as a reasonable quality of life is available to everyone, but as of now, it clearly isn't.

You should inform yourself what the Worldbank is doing in Africa.

Unlimited spending by corporations to influence elections?

 

[magicstop]

Wow . . . Manos got banned?

I may actually start posting in this thread again . . .

OCHC, after truly being the first to see the unprecedented police response of SWAT teams for nonviolent protesters a few weeks ago, is gearing up for some cool things in the coming weeks. We're busy, but having a pretty good time. Nice to see that the energy is still high all around, despite some truly oppressive actions to stifle it.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Welcome back.

 

[RDreamer]

Got kind of angry today when I was in line at the grocery store and the guy in front was spouting off stuff about the occupy movement to the cashier who I'm sure didn't want to hear it. I got there and he was talking about how none of them know what working is. Then he did the same old stupid quote about how they should all take a shower and get a job. I laughed and visibly shook my head. He looked at me and then kept spouting more shit off about how he could go up to any of them and he wouldn't find a single brain cell. Really took all I could not to rip into the guy.

 

[slit]

That doesn't surprise me. I think we're a few steps away from the gov't forcing protesters to attend brainwashing camps at this point.

 

[Morn]

Aftermath of Occupy LA. That's piss in that bottle. They were apparently stockpiling their piss. They found gallon-sized jugs full of it:

You realize that this occurs from parties on both sides, right? I mean, just look at the last few posts and you'll see that. Then again, I'm not sure how rejoicing, lamenting or contemplating on someone's banning improves this thread either.

I agree. And I'd argue their posts were also rather irritating at times. But it's not nearly as much of an issue since it doesn't happen with nearly as much repetition. Usually only in a lock with similar banter exchanged between Manos himself. I mean...there's a reason no one else has even close to the number of posts in this thread as Manos. It's not just a coincidence.

 

[Mortrialus]

Have we talked about the new OWS fatality in Texas yet...?

Nah but from what I've seen, there isn't really anything to discuss. The man appears to be a protester, and the cause of death is currently unknown.

 

[teruterubozu]

OMG, Manos is long gone and you guys still go on about him. This thread is hopeless, LOL

 

[Fusebox]

Stockpiling? Or was it simply their solution to not pissing on the ground given the lack of toilets?

 

[akira28]

You act like bans are forever. Depending on the offense, they can be extended, but most are only temporary. I just hope we can all exercise some discipline when he returns, and not get drawn in to the 'I am an obstacle, you must respond to me' vortex he likes to create. I include myself i that.

When you start multiquoting against his devil's advocacy act, you've already lost, because ultimately he doesn't care. He's only there to get a rise out of you.

And anyway, I hadn't thought about him until you came back to "haw-haw" it up for your fallen hero, teruteru.

Fusebox: you dont recognize weaponized piss when you see it? Obviously meant for some cop's eye, if they hadn't broken those protests up. And that litter? Abandoned personal belongings and such? Strategically placed to give city clean up crews sore backs. Diabolical Occupiers...you might have won this time..but next time...I don't know...you might win again.

 

[Fusebox]

Well that explains the cache of super-soakers.

 

[stuffinabox]

Im not going to lie, with the protests in Egypt, Tunisia and war in Libya as well as protests here in South Africa over a Secrecy Bill i havnt been paying attention to OWS and have no idea how it actually started or what it is about

 

[cooljeanius]

Apparently things are heating up at OccupyDC over a structure protesters were erecting that violated park ordinances...

 

[Something Wicked]

What a dump. Now, where are the pictures of the Occupy site and not just of everyday downtown LA?

Yeah... not really sure what they were thinking there...
