In this case, it would appear that art doesn't have a chance.
If you have something nice?
They will take it from you.
Plus they'll dump their pet coke next to your river.
This would set a baaaad precedent.
So, they already sold yours?
No, in fact our art museum just opened a $162 million expansion last year. It must suck to be Detroit.
However, I'm partially mistaken. A precedent has already been set, to a degree. If you haven't seen it already, check out the documentary 'The Art of the Steal.' If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say your collection is toast.

Where in the hell do you get that dumb ass idea from my statement? That's why I don't usually respond to your posts, shooz. You seem to enjoy getting confrontational with just about everyone on this forum. For the record, 'The Art of the Steal" infuriated me. Does that give it a better perspective?
Yap, shooz is a troll who likes to attack others, very often in mob attack style with DKAtoday. They perfected the art of mob attacks on this forum. They are always here and that's what they mostly do, attack others, especially new users.
I don't have much of a problem with DK, but this shit here is exactly why I ignore any post by shooz. I read them, but I don't bother commenting. This was a rare exception.
Same here, except I attack him back when he starts his mob attacks against me (which is every day). He's just a disgruntled old man. He and DKAtoday like to play the role of forum prosecutors. I think a lot of people here are starting to get tired of the Twinkle Team.
I don't bother attacking back, I just move on to the next post. His first comment says it all. He's either too stupid to know what "set a bad precedent" means, or he just likes confrontation.
Or maybe both.
Almost all his comments are confrontational. Almost all his comments reek of dumbness. He's just uneducated. Not his fault. We need to accept these kinds of people in Occupy, but we must find a way to make them understand that constantly attacking other users doesn't help our cause. We also need to work hard to educate them.
You're 100% correct; attacking other users, especially newcomers, is counterproductive and antithetical. I'm sure more than a few potential supporters have been chased away from the forum because of it.

I wasn't bragging about anything, dumb ass. It was a statement. I don't brag on St. Louis because personally I can't stand this town, a sentiment I've expressed a few times on here. No surprise you missed that.
I'm not bothering with your links. And I've already commented on an earlier thread of yours about your problem with Orr, respectfully too, I might add. What, you don't remember? No surprise. Do an archive search.
And it doesn't suck to be Detroit? So I guess your perfectly happy with the current state of affairs there, then. Which would make you a whining hypocrite on top of your other stellar qualities. Fuck your incessant ALEC links, shooz. And I won't be bumping this thread anymore, either, so save it, smart ass.
Bravissimo!!!!

Okay, I'll bite once.
First, I don't have any "bot buddies." The fact the Thrasymaque came to my defense has less to do with him being my 'buddy' and more to do with his problem with your attitude.
Second, me calling you a dumb ass is an observation. It's no secret on this forum you're not too bright. I guess if I called you a dumb fuck, you'd claim I have a "fuck fixation." If I had called you a dumb shit, you'd claim I had a "shit fixation." So your "anal fixation" comment is just childish and typical.
And third, it wasn't necessarily on a Michigan thread I commented. It may not have even been your thread, I don't recall. But if you think I'm going to waste my time checking every thread over the last couple months, you're sadly mistaken. I made a comment about something, you put up a link about Orr being appointed and asked me something to the effect "what's your opinion about this?" I told you I'd check the link but, and I quote, "may or may not reply because of your confrontational attitude." You replied defending your attitude, saying sometimes confrontation is necessary. While that's correct in certain circumstances, I should have specified "confrontational attitude on this forum." I stand by my statement to Mr. T that on this forum it's counterproductive and antithetical. I did, in fact read your link and did in fact respond. My exact words were, "You guys are getting fucked."
Ring a bell?
omg you sound like sheldon and leonard
[Removed]
So, let me get this straight. By your logic, either my comment "You guys are fucked," or the state motto of Missouri, "Show Me," means I know of and accept ALEC's influence in my state. Heheheh, oh, jeez! I don't need to insult you, shooz. You're doing a good enough job yourself.
And Thrashy speaks for himself. I never said I welcomed or encouraged his support. I don't really give a fuck what Mr. T says or does.
Big-time FAIL. Now, I'm done. See you on another thread, big boy.

Troll. Stop attacking everyone on this forum with your nonsense.

The question remains; why are some institutions too big to fail, while the rest of us get sold off to the highest bidder?
Because, capitalism only works at the beginnings, when everyone is at the same level. Businesses then start to compete until some become very big and unstoppable. Back in the mid 70's you could start a personal computer company in your garage. This is what Apple, Microsoft, and others did. Now there's almost no way you could start a company with a new OS for a personal computer. Google was able to start a new one when mobile devices came out, yet a new field.
Well, I thought it was because we are ruled by a criminal cartel, and rest of us are just numbers on a page.
We are ruled by huge corporations who have become near monopolies.

We (collectively speaking) need to continually point out the hypocrisy of their propaganda campaign, and take to the streets until some form of sanity returns to the situation.
If they want a war. that's what they'll get. How we react, is still our choice.

The city needs to find a way to save the Museum. It isn't Michigans issue or a Federal issue.

I understand that it is. It doesn't help when they elected Kwame the criminal as mayor.
Museums in other cities are flourishing. What other things did Detroit do wrong? America can't save Detroit, Detroit needs to save Detroit.

The city is broke, they judge that they need to sell their assets to pay bills. The art institute is an asset they judge they can part with. What don't you understand? This is really simple.
