You guys have a great article on CNN about using social media to spread the word. So you idiots can afford ipads and smartphones with data plans but you can't pay your college tuition?
You are missing the point. Your buddies can't pay their bills. But heaven forbid if they don't have a cell phone. "I don't have money to pay my rent, do you want to go to the movies?" sorry for the delay, computer issues.
Want to know how I know you haven't been to college lately? Because every time someone suggests "Going to the movies" all you hear is "I'm broke right now, and need to pay rent"
You should get out more, or get friends... or both.
Damn, I guess you proved your point! Good one. It was an example. Just go with it. I will come up with a better example, just for you.
You don't even cite the article which you are speaking about. Furthermore, the cost of college and the cost of an ipad are not even in the same ballpark. All I get from your comment is that you are generically angry at what you perceive to be a group of people, none of whom can pay for their college, and all of whom own cell phones and ipad. You have made this assumption with no supporting evidence except said article which no one has any way to verify actually exists. You neglect the fact that many people who are participating in the protests are people who are recently jobless at the whim of an economic recession caused by highly irresponsible and greedy individuals in the financial sector. You have no compassion, no understanding and no regard. What are you trying to accomplish here? You may not be trying to sound like a bigot...well I'll just say it outright, you sound like a bigot. And let me define bigot for you so you can see what an argument backed up by evidence looks like. Bigot- "a person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, esp on religion, politics, or race(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bigot)".
if we're idiots why are so many people responding to our message. this movement has gone from a few people in a park to protests across the country and the world. doesn't sound so dumb to me.
