Forum Post: Got Into a Fight With a Tea Party Idiot Today

So I decided to go to the Apple store after a long day of protesting, since I wanted to look for a new Macbook Pro. I was wearing my Che shirt and holding my sign still since I walked there (sign says "DOWN WITH CORPORATIONS").

Anyway, I'm looking at the computers and this bald guy starts laughing uncontrollably while looking at me. I looked away but he kept laughing so I asked what his problem was. He asked if I was "one of those Wall Street protesters" and I said yeah dude. That's when he told me to get a job. This got me REALLY mad, it's not my fault that I can't find a job and no one wants to hire me with my classical music degree and that I'm $100,000 in debt. That's Wall Street's fault.

I pretty much lost control and threw my sign at him and ran out of the store. I'm still shaking with anger but serves him right.

You spent $100,000 of money you didn't have on a classical music degree, and he's the idiot? (employed idiot)

Ignore the concern troll. False story in an attempt to subvert the movement

The funny thing is that you walked into an Apple Store looking to purchase a new Macbook Pro. You're a total hypocrite. Way to hurt that big corporation called Apple!

Stop bumping the troll post please.

Wow..you are both a little odd. Him for insulting you and assuming that you didn't have a job and you for having a 100k in debt and no job yet still looking for a "new macbook pro". Really is that the best use of the money you don't have?

So, was this guy wearing tea bags on his ears, or what?

Funny thing is, the OWS people and the Tea Partiers are basically mad about the same things... They just blame different politicians.

I'm in the same boat, dude. I got a degree in Musical Theatre and am having trouble finding a job. I got it fully knowing that it's tough to find a job in such a competitive field. But I don't blame Wall Street for making it hard for me to find a job... I made the CHOICE to get a degree in something even though I knew very well that I would face long periods of unemployment. You made a choice, too.

Any degree can help you get an edge when looking for a job. Also, sometimes you don't need a job to do something with your degree. How much does it cost to make music? I know that to do the full production you can drop some dough, but actually quite a bit of great music was created with no dollar investment. Trust me one day you'll get a job and look back at today and miss how much time you had and regret what you could have done with it.
