OWS is clueless. You guys have simply adopted Mr. Obama's socialist attitude and agenda and believe that class warfare will better your plight. What exactly is a millionaire? Are you certain that a millionaires views differ materially from yours? Do you think many millionaires are disgusted with the financial system? Do you think many millionaires endure comparable stresses to the non-millionaires? Do you look at lifestyle and expense structure in absolute dollars or as percentages of earned income. OWS is short-sighted, ignorant, and destabilizing. There are unintended consequences to your ridiculous movement. If living on the streets betters your life, good luck! Wake up and realize that many millionaires feel the same as you! Its not about class warfare, its about education and economic responsibility.
3/10. Didn't even rage
Agreed
Now, as for your ID.
As long as you are not defining it's meaning, I believe we're alright.
If someone is able to communicate as you do, and make sense to the things you write.
You are definitively not a troll.
You're right, almost every single millionaire falls into the 99%. It is not the hard working individuals who have worked their way into the upper echelon that causes problems. The issue is with the top 1%. When compared to that 1% the average millionaire looks like a hobo begging for change.
If you've had to work at bettering your station in life, you are not the 1% we're looking for.
I am going to have to call troll. No serious supporter would use such a ID to post with.
You obviously have not 1 clue as to what a troll is. He's right. You guys haven't even come up with anything but a catchy slogan. Get some REAL demands, stop letting groups like the unions subvert your message and maybe people will really start supporting you.
As someone who's been on just about every shithole the internet can provide, I know when someone's trolling and when they aren't.
"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4] The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted"." - Wikipedia
I know very much what a troll is i been forum warrioring for over a decade. All boards have them.
Ya I've been doing the same since UO came out (1997). If you know what a troll is, then why say someone is trolling when they're obviously stating an opinion. One that happens to disagree with yours. That's not a troll. Trolling is saying that OWS SUCKS! and having no evidence to back it up, or any dialogue at all to substantiate the claim.
I think you should read your statement and then read his post again. I spend a lot of time here. I know when someone is trolling. His name is the first hint. Trolls typically use offensive names. Second hint is he goes off on babbling rant. Third hint is he starts insulting people (apparently) because he does not understand it ( which would make him clueless not OWS). Fourth hint, is he tries to finish with something rational and if you notice he touches on to subjects that are in a way important to OWS. This makes him sound relevant cause now all the other stuff he was trolling sounds like real concerns.
I give him 6/10. I would of gave a 7 if he had of picked a better name.
It's a conversation starter. It's abrasive, but it's still his point of view. Some people pick stupid names and ya, most times they're assholes to boot. But I honestly think that this post is at least 75% non troll. lol
7.5/10
