Yer kidding right?. First NO business should be forced to close for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES to accommodate these OWS bums.
Second, WalMart( notice again how successful business is singled out as evil) is the world's largest company. It also the nation's largest private sector employer. However, the sheer size of Walmart is dwarfed by......The US Federal government..
So if your hatred for WalMart is no justification for the criminal actions of OWS you're blowing a lot of hot air.
You can tell I'm kidding when I use an
Here is a clue for ya Sport. You are a bully. You have always been a bully. You are unhappy ...few people genuinely like or respect you. Me..I like bullies. I've been kicking thier asses since I was in grade school. I do it to get thier attention. Then I hang out with them for a while and point out how they can be happier when they are such dickheads. I've done it hundreds of times in my life.
I'm not telling you how to be here on the internet but I read some of your posts.
What business was "forced" to close? You sound like the kind of asshole that doesn't have the sense to leave ten minutes earlier for a destination then honks his horn like a buthurt little girl and gives everyone the finger if you wind up running 5 minutes late.
It is clear you don't have a fucking clue who is doing the protesting. Bums? How do you know that? You don't.
I am serious about Walmart..and yes..All retail giants that buy cheap crap overseas and pay rock botttom wages...offer zero benefits and are at war with unions and the middle class.
Minimum wages don't help the economy. They barely help the individuals that work for them. What drives a thriving economy is customers. That means disposable income. People on minimum wage do not have any extra money to be anyones customer.
If you want to discuss my posts and point out our differences I will be happy to reply to you. If you are here to try to bully a 62 year old with more experience dealing with assholes than most I will ignore you.
Oh ya OWS.. It is made up of all kinds of people. They are protesting many problems but mostly accountability in government, media and predatory capitalism.
They are not an organised movement. You cannot blame 99% of the people there for the actions of a handfull of idiots. If 1000 people show up to make some kind of a statement in public which is a specifically protected constitutional right and 10 people infiltrate the gathering with the intention of causing destruction it is not the responsibility of the 1000 to "police" the 10. Disagree with thier point of view..OK...Try to say they are all destructive assholes...?? No sir they are exercising thier constututional rights and it is you that is the anti constitutional asshole.
Sarcasm. Then again, no rational person would post what you did in a serious manner.
A bully? That's an opinion. Fine. I call it not kowtowing to your point of view. A particular manner of thinking you lefties cannot handle. The proof is in your response.
As for your glory days in grade school and beyond, your resume is of no interest to me.
Your chest puffery is a waste of keystrokes.
I "sound"...Newsflash, we've never spoken. Get it right.
Yes, what businesses were "forced to close"? Most small businesses eventually fail. Long term small business exists for two reasons. One is no local competition. Second is the ability to adjust to competition. Again, the hardware store I mentioned earlier.
I love that place. Good selection, helpful people. Competitive prices. Can't ask for anything else in a retailer. BTW, the store is non union. So your "no unions, no benefits, rock bottom wages" argument sets sail with the fart in the wind.
OWS people ARE bums. They are lazy entitled assholes who believe their cause is noble. They believe they have been given the shaft. They are actually close minded people.
They are unproductive. They are just a reprise of the 60's anti-establishment crowd.
Most of whom actually saw the light and joined the real world when they realized no one was going to give them the free ride they wished for.
Minimum or entry level wages are paid to unskilled entry level workers. Workers who show potential are likely to move beyond those low wages. No one who wants to is ever stuck making low wages.
This is an anonymous forum. I had no idea your age. And to be frank, I do not care.
So please don't play the "beating up on an old man" card.
You mentioned government, media and "predatory capitalism"...Hmm..Government with it's insatiable desire to spend more and more of our money in a foolish and wasteful manner is NOT predatory?...Please. I can think of nothing more predatory as an entity that by law and the threat of sanctions can at any time decide to gobble up more of the people's hard earned money. Predation cuts across all fronts.
Umm judging from the behavior of OWS in Washington, Charlotte and of course Oakland, the problem is not just a few bad apples. In fact the violence was not only anticipated but expected. There was no infiltration. If the OWS movement had any credibility it's leaders would have denounced and condemned the actions of the OWS Oakland. Instead we hear deafening silence.
The right of assembly is guaranteed in the US Constitution. Once again that right is not absolute. No person or group of people has the right of assembly if that assembly or actions of a small group in that assembly usurp the rights of others.
The Framers were very careful in defining this.
See? Cons will disagree with any tactic used by protestors because they dislike protests themselves...the tactics are an excuse.
