Forum Post: Am I a Troll?

Posted 13 years ago on Oct. 25, 2011, 4:54 p.m. EST by wallyb (44)

Am I a Troll because I disagree with this movement? Am I a troll because I inject humor into my comments? Am I a troll if I think OWS is a waste of time and energy? Am I a troll if i say that the U.S. is not ready for a revolution? Am I?

I have to apologize for some of the rude comments you may be receiving.

Some of these people like to stereotype. The truth of the matter is, there are many people here that are just plain stupid, bigoted and paranoid.

People are calling them trolls when in fact they just possess many of the same personality traits

Not necessarily, but chest-bumping threads with titles like "Look At All The Trolls In Here" and "Am I A Troll?" and "The Trolls Really Took Over" are a bad sign.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

ahhh i see. i will try not to bump (whatever that means)

No...you is only a troll ifs you lives under a bridge and eats small unsuspecting children who happen to cross that bridge on their way home from school...(Grimms fairy Tales - Heard it there.)

why are you commenting. go about your business. Maybe observe the world and structure falling around you. Run run run.

"Am I a troll if I think OWS is a waste of time and energy?"

If it is a waste of time, what are you doing here?

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

Because I have an idea that will work but no one will listen to me.

[-] 1 points by riethc (1149) 13 years ago

Ah, OK. I didn't know you were here to pose an idea. Are you near NYC?

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

Yes. Here's my idea. Let's go into congress point guns at all of them. Give our demands. All the nays get shot. Some of us might die in the process but in the end it will be worth it. Are you in or are you out?

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

Are you willing to die for you shit?! Or not! Or are you just wanting to get the complaints on the table then playing with your iPhone and facebooking all day?

[-] 1 points by riethc (1149) 13 years ago

It's like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington with ammo, except that we all get drone attacked on the way there! lol

I'm not surprised people think you are a troll.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

That's what I thought. All talk. Wake me up when this movement grows some balls. For now you can go ahead and change your tampon.

[-] 1 points by riethc (1149) 13 years ago

lol Awesome.

I like guys like you, even though I don't agree with the violence approach.

yes. shut up and go away.

merely disagreeing is one thing. its clear you do more than merely disagree, and we are over trolled and need to get rid of the trolls.

if you don't agree, then go away.

this is not for you. this is for those who support OWS, not for trolls.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

All the trolls in the whole wide world should die

[-] 1 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 13 years ago

er. that would be a blessing, fo sure.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

What are u gonna do about it? Nothing, just like this spineless ball less thing you call OWS. I tell you what will work, break into Congress and point a gun to all members. Give em ur demands. All the nays get shot. Then revote and repeat procedure.

[-] 1 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 13 years ago

clearly, you are a troll, and clearly, that wouldn't work. clearly you deserve to be banned and removed from these forums for such stupid and evil ideas.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

So what these banks do is not evil. Clearly you don't play the same savage game they play.

[-] 1 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 13 years ago

its not either or. you can both be a troll, and the banks are evil.

[-] 1 points by e307465 (147) 13 years ago

I grew up Republican and don't believe that ending capitalism is the answer. That being said though, how can you deny the corruption that is right before you? Do you really think Washington has your best interests in mind?

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

Actually I don't think Washington has the best interest in me or you. And I know you believe the same. Soooooo? What are u gonna do about it? March and protest? That's it? Fail!!!

[-] 1 points by e307465 (147) 13 years ago

Agreed.. it's not enough. Sadly though, I just don't have an answer. I consistently speak of growth on here. Keep the kiddies happy by protesting but in the background, growth should be the model. Get cops involved, military involved (more than some Marines), knock on doors, etc etc. Keep it all somewhat low key until millions are following (easier said than done). Then publish goals and a means to achieve them. Let everyone be a part of creating those goals.. ugh, I'm rambling.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

Ill tell what will work. Break into congress point a gun at them. Give them ur demands. All the nays get shot. Revote and repeat. You think that's savage? Well do you think they care what happens to you when you lose your job, your home? That will work and this movement is not savage enough to do that because they don't feel the urgency of survival.

[-] 1 points by e307465 (147) 13 years ago

I'm more of a 'beat them at their own game' kinda guy. I agree with you that they could give a crap about us. I'll be honest, I really don't want to die in the process, my wife and I just had a baby. Sorry!

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

Well E. you just summed it up right there. American is not willing to die for change. OWS Wants radical change without getting radical. And you know why? Because we enjoy being on our iPhones and tweeting about life in the USA all day long. That's why.

[-] 1 points by e307465 (147) 13 years ago

I really cannot argue with you because you are right. That being said though, how do you convince the majority of the USA they need to fight for a movement that has no goals or methods for achieving those goals? My opinion is modeling OWS to achieve growth and nothing else right now.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

You don't. You just tell them to STFU and keep living comfortably as they were. When people are willing to die for change, there will be no warning at Zucotti park. It will just happen.

[-] 1 points by metapolitik (1110) 13 years ago

Not necessarily, but you are morally bankrupt.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

morals? eh

The Stranger = How to live life

[-] 1 points by metapolitik (1110) 13 years ago

The Stranger?

Are we talking about Albert Camus or Billy Joel?

Clarify please.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

AC of course

[-] 1 points by metapolitik (1110) 13 years ago

Let me guess... You are also a huge Ayn Rand fan?

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

No I am not just camus

[-] 1 points by MiMi1026 (937) from Springfield, VA 13 years ago

Troll is a person who sits in wait to cause a disturbance. Post untruths. Insults others for his own benifit. Puts down people if he doesn't believe in their cause.

Yes you are a troll.

[-] 1 points by rayl (1007) 13 years ago

2011= great movement

this is real not fiction

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

Ahh so you didnt ignore. "He Loved Big Brother" no greater truth than that. Learn to love the machine.

[-] 1 points by Steve15 (385) 13 years ago

No it just means you are ignorant of American history and your fear is worthless to us.

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

Fear of what exactly?

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

Lets burn the trolls!!!

[-] 1 points by RantCasey (782) from Saginaw, MI 13 years ago

You are only not welcome here if you insult and harrass others. Do not lie and tell myths about the movement. Your opinions are welcome and I hope you back them up because they will be scrutinized. Have a good day

[-] 1 points by wallyb (44) 13 years ago

I wouldnt dream of harrassing anyone on here except the trolls. God, how I hate them. I hate you trolls!!!

[-] 1 points by NielsH (212) 13 years ago

No, but you are a troll for starting a trolling subjects. :-)

And I am the sucker taking the bait.
