So, what have the Occutards accomplished so far?

[PredFan]

I mean other than vandalism, racism, rape, spreading disease, public urination and defecation, and costing cities, taxpayers, and companies money?

They blocked ports yesterday. For what?

 

[G.T.]

You're stuck on talking about them?

To take money out of the mouths of blue collar workers right before christmas

The Occupunk movement has truly hurt itself with its actions......people beginning to see them as whiney little "generation cupcake" punk kids now instead of what they started out looking like.

They didn't shut down anything. The entire protest along the whole coast was over in less than two hours.

The ports are considered an engine of wealth so generation cupcake will have to find another way.

If nothing else they have exposed the ugly fascistic undercurrent of conservative politics for all to see. Anyone who will take the side of the big banks over regular Americans deserves political obscurity. The TP is done, they just don't know it yet.

They probably succeeded in getting sanitation dept. folks in some cities overtime pay for hours spent cleaning up the filth they left behind.

Am I? Show me where I started another post about them in the past week. Were you not aware that they did this yesterday and were in the news?

And exactly how did they do that?

You really think that just because you say it, makes it so?

 

[Dragon]

They've started a political discussion on income inequality and reminded the Democrats who they supposed to be representing. That's almost a miracle.

By the way, y'all ready to concede now that the reports of the movement's death were greatly exaggerated?

We're cleaning the last vestiges of them out down here... it was good theater while it lasted though.

Defending big banks against criticism and protests is not a popular position to have, it shows them to be the lobbyist tools they are, and the TP is not going to realize that until it is much, much too late. Couple that with the GOP increasingly pushing them back to the fringes where they found them and a lot of people are just going find themselves outside the GOP tent.

Gotta love it. You'll be saying the same thing the day of the revolution, I think.

In Los Angeles only 100 of them showed up. It was either too cold, too rainy or too early. They caused a traffic jam for about 30 minutes. Hung around for less than two hours and it was over.

Widyo Willo, we have changed the conversation to why the rich are gaining while the people actually doing the work that society runs on are losing.

It is time that we removed the wealth of the parasites and rewarded the people that actually contribute to the wealth of our nation. And those people are not just the 1%. In fact, a majority of the 1% are negative contributors to the wealth of the nation. See what Adam Smith has to say about the people that steal the wealth that the working man produces. You do know who Adam Smith, right, Widyo Willyo? Oh!

It's an international movement. New Orleans, despite occasional delusions to that effect, is not the world.

To prevent union workers to get to their jobs?

Here to. They tried to shut down the port but failed at every turn. OWS is not much more then comedy fodder for late night comedy shows now, and even they are bored with them. They have not accomplished anything really. Hell, its all they can do to get mentioned on the news anymore. Poor little guys.

Succeeded in Oakland, Long Beach, San Diego, Portland, Vancouver -- not sure about Seattle. Is that where you are?

Regardless, the movement will continue until one of two things happens, reform or revolution. Probably reform; that's the way it's always gone down before when big business and its bought-and-paid-for government was confronted by popular unrest. It will take new forms (already is, please note) but will not die. Those of you who think it's over are dreaming.

And you'll probably be saying the same thing a year from now, which pretty much proves my point.
