Dirty Hippies Whining For A Free Lunch

[Hasbinbad]

This thread is a place to post examples that support the idea bandied about on this thread that the Occupy movement is entirely peopled with LSD tripping, patchouli-instead-of-a-shower wearing, birkenstock-walking, pinko hippie communists bent on pulling a robin hood on America.

Joseph Eugene Stiglitz, ForMemRS, FBA, (born February 9, 1943) is an American economist and a professor at Columbia University. He is a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (2001) and the John Bates Clark Medal (1979). He is also the former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank. He is known for his critical view of the management of globalization, free-market economists (whom he calls "free market fundamentalists") and some international institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
In 2000, Stiglitz founded the Initiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD), a think tank on international development based at Columbia University. Since 2001, he has been a member of the Columbia faculty, and has been a University Professor since 2003. He also chairs the University of Manchester's Brooks World Poverty Institute and is a member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. Stiglitz is an honorary doctor of Durham Business School<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup>, an honorary professor at Tsinghua University School of Public Policy and Management and a member of the Executive and Supervisory Committee (ESC) of CERGE-EI. Stiglitz is one of the most frequently cited economists in the world.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup>

Joseph Stiglitz - Dirty Hippie

The paper, written the year after Joseph Stiglitz won the Nobel Prize for economics, concludes that "on the basis of historical experience, the risk to the government from a potential default on GSE debt is effectively zero." Their analysis has recently been making the rounds on the Web to a chorus of chortles.

I read until the WSJ (the ultimate in inner-party propaganda) called him "an economist named Stiglitz."

Hell, I don't know SHIT about economics, but even I know (barely) who Joseph Stiglitz is. To downplay him like that, regardless of how you feel about his message is disingenuous to the point of outright misrepresentation.

GTFO Bronson, you may be educated, but obviously you haven't learned shit.

Wake up, man.

Wake up, man.

How am I downplaying him?

He was about as wrong a person can possibly be in regards to the most important economic event any of us will ever see in our lives. Why are you now pretending like this man is beyond critique?

Reread, only this time assume the meaning of my ambiguous statement was that the WSJ downplayed him, and the "you" was 3rd person.

Also, I'm not saying you're wrong about that.. I honestly don't know enough about it.

That being said, it doesn't make his quote in the picture in the OP any less true.

For once the fat man sounds convincing. Though I figured , figuring out hasbinbad would involve a fat chick that plays everquest. That likes to post pictures of her self less fat , after being called fat. Even tho she is fat and will remain fat. Regardless of how fat others tell her she is. Because she is infact fat. Oh and she has flings with dudes on internet forums , preferrably 12 year old games that have died out. Anyway back the the original point. I was wrong Hasbinbad figured out! Please don't go making threads about the girth of your penis , than follow it with some youtube vid you saw. Than try to assure us later your not a pervert or a cheat -(While your using MQ) and cover it up with TR- and then repute...

I drop off topic to much O well. Guess this is why it's offtopic , oops I mean rant and flames.... FUck....
