We should set a date to for the country to occupy one location. Everyone unite for the common goal. There has been talk of the capital being the place and the date to be July 4th. What do you think? We need about 2 million people to get the point across I believe. What do you think?!?! Please so not tell me we cant do it. At the beginning of World War II the U.S. had a mere 600 or so first-class fighting aircraft. We rapidly overcame this short supply by turning out more than 90,000 planes a year. We have the people we can do this. Enough is a enough already. Its just not America I am speaking for. It is the entire world. What the fuck is wrong with us. It is no OK to let people die from hunger. We take to much and give to little. We once were divided by color now we are divided by wealth.

We haven't changed. We've always been divided by wealth and color. What happened was the middle class got too big for the wealthy and started to chip away the wealth of the wealthy in this country. The big cry is from the middle class calling foul on loosing their jobs that went overseas. The wealthy know what they are doing and are always a few steps ahead of us. There is much more th say about this.

What happened is the middle class got apathetic. Plain and simple. Stick your head up your ass for 50 years and things tend to fall apart.

We have the abilty to be a great world. We can achieve things that some only dream about. WE MUST UNITE as one. Share everything with everyone. Make sure no one goes hungry. make sure everyone has somewhere to sleep. It is a a very hard task but is more possible then most believe.

Actually, we're still divided by both.

Did you miss the anti-Mexican laws passed in the south?

Libertarianism has infected the whole system.

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

The point is we are divided. Not united.

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 12 years ago

Indeed, we are.

Targeted marketing demands it.

Overcome the division of wealth and the division will then be information.

Honesty and transparency is necessary to begin bridging that division.

[-] 2 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

Thank you for saying that. We need more thinkers like you.

But we refuse to be divided any more. Yes it should be July 4 the date of our past independence. But the capitol in Washington dc would indicate that the us government has legitimacy .( which it doesn't ) The day that the us government stopped listening to the will of the people and took bribes from the 1% made it loose its legitimacy. IT is not the government of the 99%- it is the government of the 1%. Every state has a capitol building, on july 4th 2012 -have a mass demonstration there 50 of them.. And demand that the 50 united states- create a new government- of the people by the people and for the people. And not only within the united- but all country's where its peoples are oppressed. -- a world independence day. http://tinyurl.com/6lkzgbk

We should create a world wide resource based economy. The world is bigger then America. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. we must create equality, there will more the likely not be equality with government.

Does anyone even give a damn about anyone anymore.

[-] 1 points by elpinio (213) 12 years ago

Not really. I look after myself and my family. That's why I don't appreciate people robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

you would rather people die for your greed. The world is bigger then your family. Stop being selfish and wake up.

[-] 1 points by elpinio (213) 12 years ago

Millions of people starve to death every year and live on less than $1 a day.

How much did you make last year? How much did you spend last year? And how much did you donate to charity to help the starving?

The world will always have poor and lazy people. That can't hold us back. We have to aim higher despite them and leave them behind. Would we have landed on the moon if our overriding goal was to feed and provide homes for all starving people of the world? No.

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

I donate everything I have to the world. I only keep what I need. The fact that you know millions starve everyday and you know that you waste every day would make me think you are just plain crazy. I understand why Albert Eisenstein thought sometimes he was crazy because you all are nuts to think that you deserve more then any other human. The world will not always have poor and lazy people. Why would we want to work jobs that hurt humanity and do not help it. Why work at wendys when all it does is kill you. I have observed people fail to think about there actions. They fail because we as a Human race Fail to teach them. I will strive for world peace I will help anyone in need when I can no matter what has occurred in there past. I will live without hate in my heart. I will show the world I do care. I do not think less of you for being selfish, you have done what you were taught all your life. I ask now that you open your mind and free yourself from this bondage called society.

[-] 1 points by elpinio (213) 12 years ago

Way to evade my questions. How much did you make last year? How much did you spend last year? And how much did you donate to charity to help the starving?

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

last year I was a pot dealer and didn't give a damn about you.I have recently came into a period of enlightenment where I do not participate in things that harm my body other then what I cant not stop. I am a full time student studying to be an astronomer and have no money. However what I do is volunteer at the habitat for humanity. I also am the creator of a group called the human society group and what we do is help anyone who is in need and we do not discriminate. If you would like to check it out let me know.

[-] 1 points by elpinio (213) 12 years ago

LOL... no wonder you make no sense and this "movement" is so retarded. I'm trying to talkin sense into a pot dealer. Seriously, a pot dealer. haha.... waste of time but hilarious. Okay, goodbye.

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

You do not have to listen to me. I know I am right... It is not a big deal though because when shit hits the fan we will be here to help you.

Is this really all just about money? Why do you worry so damn much about how much money other people have? How did you all get this delusional? Is this some kind of spasm, some kind of visceral recognition that there is no money left for you? That the government has spent us into oblivion and we can never get out?

Is the hatred of those with money just an expression of anguish that the era of entitlements is over and you want everyone to be just as fucked as you? This derangement over money is whats fucked.

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

money is greed. If you have more then you need you are greedy. People die everyday in other places. YOU DO NOT CARE OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE YOU ARE SELFISH. think about your actions. THINK about what you are doing. Everything you buy takes energy. Energy creates carbon emission which destroys the planet. My father is a millionaire don't tell me I am worried about other peoples money. I do not give a damn about money. IT does not buy happiness. IT does not secure life. It destroys life's of millions. I only consume what I need.

[-] 0 points by foreeverLeft (-264) 12 years ago

You are greed. Does it ever occur to you that it isn't greedy to earn money but it is obscenely greedy for you to want to take it? Do you ever have a lucid moment and comprehend how ridiculous you look?

This forum is like some weird insane asylum where the crazies gather to reinforce their craziness with each other. It must feel so good to find others as crazy as yourself, to not feel so alone and isolated by your craziness.

Millions upon millions of Americans leave their nice homes everyday, go to good jobs, thank their lucky stars that they were born here rather than Mumbai and enjoy the reality of what America really is. Can you even grasp for a second how you appear to these people when you run around all wild eyed and announce we need to throw everything over and replace it with some insane "resource based economy" that is never, ever going to happen?

Here's what you can't understand, you want to replace everything because you personally are a failure in this system, you think that somehow, magically, you won't suck in the new system you advocate but you will suck in the new system.

Are you important now? Are you a part of the 1% of the 99% who pull the strings and have the cash that has been raised? Do you even know who those people are? You are the exact person your masters depend on, a living useful idiot who has absolutely no clue what you are doing and how stupid they actually think you are.

I'm glad that OWS exists, I'm glad that this site exists. It's important for non insane Americans to see you in action, to understand the depths of your delusions. This site does a great service to America in helping people understand who you are.

  1. "We talk about civilization as though it's a static state. There are no civilized people yet, it's a process that's constantly going on... As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you are in the early stages of civilization."

"War, poverty, corruption, hunger, misery, human suffering will not change in a monetary system. That is, there will be very little significant change. It's going to take the redesign of our culture and values."

"The majority of the people of the world today are unsane, not insane, unsane meaning having been exposed to methods of evaluation that have long rendered obsolete, our language in the future will change to a saner language where we have no argument in it, 'can there be such a language?' there is, when engineers talk to each other, it's not subject to interpretation, they use math, they use descriptive systems, if I interpreted what another engineer said in the way I think he meant it: you couldn't build bridges, dams, power transmission lines. The language has to have meaning"

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

No man you are wrong. You act as a insane. You let people die every day because you consume to much and give to little. Money will never work. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. since the dawn of time people have tried to rule with money and it has failed. It is clear that you have been blinded by society. It is not your fault you were taught this way. I do not think less of you. I don't want to take the money from the rich. All I want is food water and shelter. I don't need any more then that, I have what I need. There is people who don't because of people like you. I am truly sorry you think that way and I really hope one day you come around.

[-] 0 points by foreeverLeft (-264) 12 years ago

I'm sorry, I don't know how to lose 50 IQ points which is what it would take to get near believing the silliness you espouse. However, I am pleased that you and your compadres aren't burdened by such considerations and happily put pixel to screen for the edification of all. :)

Running out of injustices on the left I see. You act as if you want to unite, but, you plan on doing that by singling out a percent of the population. A percent that doesn't even make sense.

So you are no uniter. You are just looking for the next injustice to capitalize on. Keep people at odds, keep the liberal machine rolling.

If you truly wanted to unite people, you would stop pointing fingers. BTW. We have always been divided by wealth. Time to get over the we are the world crap. Humans will never act as a collective.

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

you are a quitter. never say never. Stop and think about this world and how messed up it is. Realize every action you take effects the world. Stop being a tool. I want a resource based economy. Don't give me that shit. My father is a millionaire. I could easily be rolling in wealth I just choose to live away from it. IT IS FUCKING WRONG! I only take what I need. The rest of the world is in peril because we are fucking selfish arrogant assholes.

[-] 1 points by Brandon37 (372) 12 years ago

Explain how we have caused the World to be in peril.

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

We take to much and give to little. How do you want me to explain something that you see everyday. Look outside ... this country is failing because we were selfish. We wanted more and more things. All for what?? to secure our lives to make us feel important? To escape the reality of the situation at hand? People die from hunger everyday and it is possible to stop it. The resources alone from the collective world military could shelter the entire population. However we will not do that... Because we are all greedy and want more then we need. The state of the world is because of us... I am guilty also... I just recently have come to this new enlightenment. I was disappointed in man so I took whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. What defines us is not how much we can take but how much we can give.

[-] 1 points by Brandon37 (372) 12 years ago

Wow dude. Just wow. No other country in the World has given more than the United States. That's not even up for debate. That is a known fact. What are you on?

[-] 1 points by 4TheHumanSocietyProject (504) 12 years ago

When I say us I mean humanity. Not just our country. There is far more room to give... Just because you help one person doesnt mean you shouldnt help the rest. If you could do it why wouldn't you?
