You disagree Milo ? Those "proverbs" aren't relevant to the whole occupy wallstreet thing. I know I'm a newb but I gotta ask...Why are they not relevant and I ask with the utmost respect.

1) Hard work does not always lead to success, just ask Edison. But lack of effort ALWAYS leads to failure.
2) Actually, that is exactly what it means.
3) The people who were supposed to be keeping an eye on the $$$ are in government, as they set up the rules and enforce them.
4) This one is pretty good.
5) Complete and utter logic fail.
6) Agreed.
7) More crap. Just because someone "feels" wronged, doesn't mean that they were actually, you know, wronged.
8) Life ISN'T fair. Anyone who tells you it can be is selling something . . . and the price is usually pretty steep.
9) Yup. Protest is a healthy thing in ANY democracy.
10) It may not be their job, but they better have some idea of an alternative. Outrage and anger will only get you so far. How about looking for a solution, and working to put into office people who can implement that solution?
11) Yup. Sometimes the edifices get sacked, and those inside get killed. Sometimes those outside get crushed by those inside. And, sometimes, those outside get their way, and regret it shortly afterwards.
12) Arrangements have been made. This country, like many others, have very generous safety nets in place. Those nets, however, are meant to catch you when you fall, not carry you forever.
There are many aspects of the financial meltdown of recent years that I find disturbing, not least of which is the lack of criminal prosecution of those responsible. and lest you think I am speaking strictly of bankers, I would like to also see some heads rolling in the corridors of government, too . . . (hello Freddie and Fannie). There is plenty of guilt to go around in this mess, but Lemony Snicket is not the solution.
Very nice, well I may not agree with all your points I respect your opinion (I do agree with some.) I'd love to devote more time to this topic but I'm currently doing some research on who I think is the greatest person ever, and its not Dr. Norman E. Borlaug even though I work with 400+ tons of wheat a day.

Well, as long as your research doesn't lead you to Genghis Kahn, we can agree to disagree, then . . . :mad:

Not usually a source I credit, but Monte Solberg is not exactly a "hard" right kind of guy . . .
finally something we agree on
did i miss the #occupy thread...or are not opening that can..
...at least, I don't think so. They shouldn't be. If they are, they're idiots, or possibly just bandwagon-jumpers.
