Tell them that protesting is an important job, and that if they are too lazy or don't have the guts to do it, at least stay out of the way of the people that do.
I tell them that I'm at MIT and doing quite well for myself, and that I'm more than likely to be able to find a job when I'm done. I also tell them that the whole idea that only bums and the unemployed will support us is simply "Fuck you, I got mine" and that it's that kind of attitude that got us into this mess in the first place.
I usually act like I miss heard them, and say "thanks! we are doing a good job!"
I tell them I own my own business, and have no desire to work for someone else. I choose when I work, and have free time to do what I want to and use it how I see fit.
However, I would just ignore anyone saying that here, as they are obviously mentally challenged and living in their parents basement listening to AM hate-radio and living in a dream world.

This is more then a job - this will provide better working condition for all of us that will have, or have a job.
I just say "Do you have one that I could have?"
NO...instead say..." Fuck you you fucking rich ass 1% mutli millionaire fascist pig, who sucks life out of the 99% of Americans, you homo hating, racist, bigot, fat ass mother fucker".
That will show em. Then..pull your pants down and moon em
tell them that real unemployment is around 20%. 56 million americans CANNOT find jobs. That 1 in 5 is NOT going to be able to find work.. because our Congress has wholesale exported them to countries that can still provide wage slave labor
ask them if they are hiring. then tell them your salary requirements. also tell them you need health insurance and a good retirement plan. dont forget to tell them that some sort of profit shareing might help you work harder for the great corporation.
I say "I have one".
At least protest something important like war. And it is true, Wal-Mart is hiring.
Excuse me, but Wal-mart is the reason we have this problem. The fact of the matter is that they pay their workers an unlivable wage, which leads to a heavier reliance on state and federal funds for their employees' health insurance and other necessities.
In fact, did you know every year 80 million dollars of California tax payer's dollars are spent on medicaid for Wal-mart employees ALONE?
Who's fault is that? The "lazy assholes" who can't get a real job? Or Wal-mart and other American monopolies that are killing our middle class through the 1%'s greed?
Sorry, Wal-Mart was never intended to be a full time job for workers. It is just a part time job for folks. It pays low because the folks there are not building rockets. People stocking stores or getting Christmas trees ready should only make $8.00 per hour. A lot of folks love Wal Mart. They hire many retired folks. Also because wages are so low, it allows them to sell food to low income folks at a much lower rate than the union stores. If you don't like it, just don't shop there. I love Wal Mart. I buy my car oil and food there at a very low cost. If it became union, the prices would be the same as everyone else.
More Wal Mart hating liberal bullshit LIES>
I have a job, I own a business and give jobs to other people, my advice is for those who don't have a job.

Wow it is scary to think you actually beleive this.
actually it's a good opportunity to remind them that demand creates jobs, not middlemen.
What a joke.
Have you heard the joke about the guy that asked his dentist how much it will cost him to pull his tooth. The dentist replied $300. The patient then asked how long will it take. The dentist replied back about 15 minutes. The patient jumped out of the chair asking the dentist why he was charging him so much for only 15 minutes of work. The dentist smiled and replied back that he could take 3 hours to pull the tooth
Or you could just get a job instead of becoming aggressive because you feel guilty for leeching off the system.
demand creates jobs, not middlemen.
Treat yourself like a brand, make yourself in demand.
lol. http://richardkentgates.com fuck off. hows that.
Your argument was well devised, but I believe I struck a nerve.
Why should anyone want you? Make yourself wanted.
lol. wow, you are self important. You tell me how much money I make?
You told me to fuck off and now you're mocking my self worth.
You need to refine your conversation skills.
You are full of assumptions. I am not trying to convince you, rather embarrass you. To make you see how ridiculous your assumptions make you look.
And in doing all this you have succeeded in embarrasing yourself. Cool!
don't you have class or something.
No. What do you mean by this?
Please explain to me what I have assumed, why it has made me look ridiculous, and how you have embarrassed me.
Because honestly I have no idea what you're talking about.
Right on. As I've said in several of these posts, if you're not relevant, no one is going to hire you. If you don't add value or have any skills, what do people expect?
Ignore fredastaire. You can't argue with idiots.
I have a job, my advice is for other people.
Protesting while you're not working is an important job. Protesting about the lack of employment instead of actively seeking employment or bettering yourself as a person to acquire employment seems skewed.
You sound like someone who has a job. So, why are fucking up the country's productivity numbers by wasting your employers time and money posting here rather than working. I'd fire your ass if I caught you using my companies computers for this.
You sound like someone who doesn't have a job. So, why are you fucking up the country's productivity numbers by wasting your time posting here rather than finding a job. I'd kick you out of your mother's basement if I caught you using your time for this.
The idea behind protesting is to change the system so that it creates rather than destroys jobs. In this sense, protesting is a way of looking for a job.
get a job
I have a job.
Dont lie
I could just as well accuse you of not having a job, and say that you lie when you tell me you do have one.
Actually, I'm a landlord, I own property in California, Nevada and Buenos Aires, Argentina. I also own an English school in Buenos Aires and employ 10 teachers as well as other staff.
I wouldnt care what you accuse me of and youd sound like an idiot in doing such because im not the one spouting off like a broken record.
Yes, that is what I think of your accusations as well.
Except that im not the one posting i have a job over and over so it doesnt work.
Well, if people can't understand when I tell them that I have a job, then unfortunately I have to tell them over and over that I do. If they would learn to pay attention better, I wouldn't have to do that.
