Everyday, OWS is becoming more and more of a joke. The movement has turned into nothing more than a bunch of know-it-all nobodies who have no purpose but just to hang out, holding signs and beating drums to a tune that no one wants to hear.
Get A F'ing agenda people! What the hell is the matter with you? Come up with a cause that will cause an effect.
Even your own are starting to question yourselves.
Now you have people talking about occupying the subway system in NY? For what and why?? So you can have the cops throw your asses out of there too??
Unless you put together an agenda with 1-3 points that will make a change, you are doomed to fail! If you are not committed to doing this, then just pack up your stuff and go home because you are getting nowhere fast.
The OWS movement has now become more of a thorn in the asses of the cities and towns you "occupy".
If you're going to make a change, come up with an agenda. Boycott companies sitting on huge profits and not hiring or re-investing in their local communities to create jobs. Boycott banks who are not lending, Boycott companies who off-shore more then 30% of their workforce. Pretty simple stuff.
But the rants about illegal bombings, Iranian B.S. the unfair police invades etc. are doing nothing but turning this whole thing into a RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS.
Instead of occupying the subways, why not take a day off and everyone call Goldman Sach's main line for 24 hours and jam up their switchboard. Have fun with that. here's the number +1.212.902.1000
You won't have to worry about the cops arresting you and you can do it from the comfort of your homes.
Remember, THEY have guns, THEY have the handcuffs, THEY have the law on THEIR side.
Unless you start having a cohesive message, you are going to fail and accomplish NOTHING!
Actually......RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS........has leadership, agenda, and a plan, they aren't just winging it, just some perspective.
How dare he compare this OWS nonsense to the majestic RBBBC.
RBBBC at least was something you could go watch and be amused. OWS is just becoming a joke, there isn't even any comedy involved. Becoming boring.
Maybe if all the protesters crammed themselves into a Volkswagen and showed up in a town near you, it would been fun to see... Just saying.. :)
The only comparable attribute between the two groups would be their smell.
Ringling is facing a legislative onslaught by those seeking to outlaw their 140+ years of using Asian Elephants.
Have been to two circuses this year, with my almost two year old grand daughter getting to ride an elephant I would really hate to see politicians shut them down.
From an email I got from Ringling:
"With more than 141 years of experience, Ringling Bros. is committed to the well-being and preservation of this endangered species. That is why we need your help!
Please help us stop this proposed new law so that Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey can continue to bring our magnificent Asian elephants to American families for generations to come!"
I have had those very thoughts. Especially Goldman sachs. Boehner and company as well. I would like to talk with anyone who wants an organize subgroup to attack all of them.
This movement is failing and they don't even know it. They are delusional to think more people are behind them. The more they act up, the fewer people are listening.
The strategy now seems to be to raise more hell, cost cities more money and then everybody will join their "cause". They are truly clueless.
SPOT ON! No one will back them without an agenda!
I need some more drugs. This girl i met said if i had aome good pot she will do me for it. I nees more drugs?
