Political correctness censors free speech. Sticks and stones. You seem to be under the impression that there is a law. You can say stupid shit, just expect to be called out and ostracized as a bigot when you do so. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from criticism. Yes, I understand that. And said criticism is also freedom of speech. People should be free to tell each other exactly what they want to tell them.

Does confining the flames to the burner make the fire any less hot? Depends on what is being used for fuel in the burner versus what it was burning on the outside. Regardless of the temperature, a flame confined to a burner is generally less destructive and easier to direct to productive purpose than a wildfire. In case anyone doesn't get what I wrote. I am saying the restrictions that the OWS protesters are advocating should not extremely adversely affect the availability of the products that the protesters use.

He has a line of notches on the side of his laptop, one for every time he's lain down the permaban. Don't start shit, particularly not with him. Make sure you read the rules- if you're asked a question you either have to respond or tell us you'd rather not. Trolling doesn't have to be forever. * WTF is with the name, by the way?

Ugh, I hate those arguements. They are so out of touch with how hard it is to get a minimum wage job and how even that is barely enough to get by. It's the main reason I despise conservatives, especially when they get caught up in stupid shit like Obama's birth certificate.
I remember hearing one from a math professor that I thought was stupid. His solution was that those who were angry about tax breaks for the rich simply shouldn't vote for those who are in favor of it. I mean this guy is a math professor and he doesn't understand that it's going to take a lot more of this movements votes to even come close to making a difference? And even if they do outnumber the republicans votes, there are still processes and stuff to go through. Better to sway public opinion through protests than to stay quiet and hope that their vote will actually mean something.

Saw a new one!
"A lot of these guys are complaining about how they can only get ten hours a week. You know what they should do? Stop bitching and get 3 more jobs. That's 40 hours just like anyone else."

There are few enough jobs available without everyone needing 4 of them to stay afloat.

Here's what my coworker posted on facebook just the other day"
Its almost a perfect blend of, "GET A JOB!" "Blame the president" and "I'm going to be on top one day so it doesn't matter that I don't know what I'm talking about now." I bet you didn't know that this whole thing was all about companies like Nokia and Nikon as well. No worries. That was new to me too.
