I'm so sorry, but I can't find any redemption for those who would protest anti-child sex trafficking.

This is your thinking, not mine.

Do you really find the topic that threatening?

Do all of those rich people that "worked their butts off" include the Wall Street banksters? Does it also include the corporate thieves that leech off of our society by poisoning us with pollution as they closely guard their bottom line? How about the corporatists that outsource jobs and have offshore bank accounts as they dupe the American dumbed down consumer out of their money? Did all of these people really work their butts off at anything besides corruption and greed ? Huh? Really?

Since its called Occupy Wall Street , something to do with this:

Jonathan Macey: Government Bailouts Feed Wall Street Bonuses - WSJ.com
All of the banks in which the bonus-driven employees work have highly leveraged balance sheets. This leverage greatly magnifies bank profits in good times and causes their losses to mushroom in bad times. The public shareholders of these companies tend to be highly diversified against the risk of failure at any particular financial institution, so they have a strong personal interest in seeing the bankers who manage their leveraged investments swing for the fences.

In other words they book profits on ponzi schemes and then social the inevitable losses in what is nothing more than a mobsteresque swindle. However, since they are at the top of the food chain, they run da guberment so its all legit.



To answer the question of why OWS seems to be filled with the dregs is rather simple. There are only two groups of people with time on their hands.

One is an idle rich who can take time out of their day because checking up on the anal electrocution of their minks and making wheel barrel bundles of money ripping us all off only takes minutes.

The other is composed of the likes of an unemployed anarchist with a hamster fetish.

The middle class, as I keep saying, makes everything consumed by the royalists, like yachts and leer jets, as well as condoms and canned soup for the welfare class. They cannot represent themselves. To pick between the two who best represent the interests of the middle class is, I regret to inform, the mildly drunk cross dresser with a case of the crabs. That should tell you just how bad the inimical parasites in the pin stripped suits really are.

Just to set the facts straight, there is not one Occupy group there are dozens of them and none of them reresent the entire movement, and the fact is the occupy groups are not even protesting about the same issues. With those facts in mind, anyone claiming that any one person or group within the occupy movement represents the entire movement is either ignorant and should not even comment on the topic or they are a Liar with their own agenda, you descide which it is.

I'm sorry, I just can't fall for nominal representations at face value. I thought people these days understood printing banks notes does not guarantee the value behind it. If you ever do become a sex worker, don't let them know you don't know the difference because they'll stuff a Jefferson Davis fifty in your thong.

So you are okay with those who protest ending child sex-trafficking. At least you don't have a problem with them.

Most do.

You are really a piece of work. Don't try to smear me with your outrageous frauds. I don't care what other people think about liars. I just know I dislike them intensely.
