That wasn't towards you, but I doubt you really did anything that mattered too much at work today, maybe it matter to you and people that depend on you, but not to the world as a whole.
It mattered enough to the people whose house I was working on. The world as a whole can suck my cock.Quote:

Yep. Who is greedier? The person who wants to keep the fruits of his labors or the piece of shit asshole who contributes nothing of value but demands the be taken care of for life?
That is worded very biasedly(gr?).
I don't have a problem with making money, but at least pay your workers a decent wage.
I also don't like people on welfare who keep having kids to get more checks either.
The wage you get is the wage you are worth and no, it isn't worded biasedly (sic It should be a word but I don't think it is and I'm too tired from work to come up with a better one right now)

Again with the black and white! The person who wants to keep ALL the fruits of his labor and contribute nothing to the society which made his success possible is just as dispicable as the person who contributes nothing of value and mooches. Neither of these people exist in pure form.

Spot on sir. For the people who truly want change its not about demanding what other have out of some kind of jealousy. We simply believe that everyone should be equal and given the same chances as the folks born with a silver spoon in their mouth or the people that will gladly step on your face to get ahead and or simply at others expense.

The problem with this is that unfettered greed is what drove the deregulation and ridiculous spendimg that fucked amd continues to fuck your cou.try sideways. Greed has no place in society.

Say a person comes up with a great idea, makes some money, then starts a company producing this idea. He hasn't contributed anything to society?

Worldwide numbers were probably close. And since when does the mainstream media post anything that is not laughable?? He'll if you want to find out what celeb fucked who or read about a pregnant women who was stabbed while browsing the web or Marvel comics introducing its first Muslim superhero well then you know we're to go.

One million or five hundred thousand I don't think it's Something to be ignored whatsoever. That's a silly thing to say at best.

I note that you failed to provide support for either figure.

Let me help:
Quote:
The few hundred marchers in Washington were matched by 50 to 80 or so in New York City, plus marchers in London (where actor/comedian Russell Brand called on masked marchers to revolt rather than vote), about 15 in Dallas, a number in Capetown, South Africa, a “few dozen” in Tampa, and an estimated 200 in Tucson, Arizona, just to name a few of the sites.

Seems 100,000 would be a major stretch.

There are no reported numbers. I wonder why? Anyways it went down in over 400 cities across the globe. I'd say 300,000-400,000
Also you may not have "said it" but you sure seem to come across that it's for the best they don't cover it. If that's not the case why don't you actually shed some light on what you actually think instead of hiding behind a shroud of ambiguity??

What was ambiguous about "Perhaps the media is tired of reporting on anything so laughably called a "Million" anything when the numbers always fall so far short of a million. "? Seems clear to me.
The numbers I've seen make it clear that the turnout was embarrassing for the organizers.
300,000 to 400,000 is almost as funny as 1 million. To even hit 300,000 there would have to be the equivalent of 700 in each city. The reported numbers available show that to be a pipe dream. A crack pipe dream.
