Why isn't it over the line when he posts hateful things wishing pain on peaceful, living people protesting and taking consequences from fucking riot cops for his rights, but suddenly it's over the line when I talk about his already dead brother who can't feel anything?

Maybe because your bias is showing? Might wanna have that checked out.

Most of the occupy protestors are not hippies, and even of the subgroup of occupy protestors who are hippies, very few of them smell bad.

Those sentences have been condensed in colloquial language to: "American Democracy." If you say "American Democracy" to someone, they will assume that what I meant by that is: "The United States of America is defined as a federal constitutional republic. It is a constitutional republic and representative democracy, "in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law". The government is regulated by a system of checks and balances defined by the U.S. Constitution, which serves as the country's supreme legal document."

In any case, it's not a pure democracy or republic. It is what it is. We have a novel form of government here, whatever you call it.

Well OK then, we agree. [You must be logged in to view images.

In my humble opinion, most have no idea what our system actually is nor how it works. If they did, then we would not be where we are today. The government is just as corrupt as the large corporations these days. In fact they are damn near the same thing. Both intertwined too tightly for our system to work effectively. That is one of the many issues that needs to change.

I'm sorry, my only encounters with occupy people are dirty beanpole men who smell like weed and 5 day old ramen

Please read "Manufacturing Consent."

Please study to understand the concept of "Media / Govvernment / Industrial Complex."

Thank you, drive through.

Well if my only experience with your subgroup of peers was with 2 individuals who like to fondle penises, would it be fair of me to then say that your entire group of peers fondles penises?

[Hasbinbad]

I'm going to answer for you Diggles. The answer is no. It is a logical fallacy to assume of the general that which the specific embodies.

Yeah I know. So is this:


He has no sympathy for the kids who are fighting riot cops with peace for his and your rights; I have no sympathy for him. He posts that shit, I post this shit. Tit for tat.

If you don't like it, I really don't give a shit.

You're forgetting that Harrison's brother died fighting for your ability to live.

That's more than you or I can say.

Yeah, he says bad things about people being pepper sprayed... so what? Did they do anything spectacular in their lifetime? Probably, in their own way, but they didn't put their life on the line for millions and lose it.

Some of them have served, sure, but none of them have died -- not that it makes it any more right or wrong, but how would you like it if I made fun of your dead brother to insult someone as opposed to proving a point through non-insulting means? Sure it might be rants and flames but have some fucking respect.

PS: Fuck you.

[Diggles]

but im pretty sure all Occupy people do like to fondle penises.

I hope they get penises sprayed in their eyes

That is a premise I take issue with. This country hasn't been involved in a self-defense war (fighting for our ability to live) since WW2, and even that logic is questionable, given certain pieces of evidence recently published (do your own research). That he was in the military I do not dispute, but it is trite in the extreme to state that the motivation behind the military is so that I may live. Say rather that this individual fought for "our interests" (oil). He also received money for his "service," (that fact alone makes him a mercenary) knowing full well that death was one outcome. I have no sympathy.

Yeah, I said bad things about his brother being a sniveling little bitch... so what?

What does that have to do with anything? You're placing more intrinsic worth in a mercenary - paid to kill arab people with money we borrowed from asian people - than an average American Citizen willing to stand up for his rights, my rights, your rights? LoL.

Again with your false premise. Just because you say something doesn't make it true. Here, watch: Secrets is hot. See?

Why does he get a free pass on making fun of unarmed peaceful children who were brutalized by John Pike and his armed band of thugs? Hypocrisy much?

Show me one thing I should have respect for having to do with Harrison without your blatantly biased, bullshit premises, and I'll consider it. Till then:
