By Popular Demand: Occupy Davis - The Truth

Good point, we need to get that damn recipe!

 

haha

plus, most contribute modern day advancements to the industrial revolution which led to the great divergence, effectively freeing us from the Malthusian Trap. Go back to college and take some history classes

 

Waste of ammo.

 

cheaper than pepper spray.

 

And for those of us educated folks who didn't take Malthusian Mathematics in school. What is the Malthusian Trap?

 

The Malthusian trap, named after political economist Thomas Robert Malthus, suggests that for most of human history, income was largely stagnant because technological advances and discoveries only resulted in more people, rather than improvements in the standard of living. It is only with the onset of the Industrial Revolution in about 1800 that the income per person dramatically increased in some countries, and they broke out of the Trap.

He also married his cousin.

 

how can people who dont pay taxes protest on how tax dollars are spent?

 

If you were to receive tax dollars for your food and whatever would you want it spent on roads and useless stuff like that.
I'm pretty most of them have paid taxes even if it was just sales tax.

 

I'm not sure what the students were protesting about and don't really see how it matters. Was it student loans? I remember they were doing that back when I was in University too. Good for them nothings changed. I agree getting a degree in Ancient Art is bullshit and noones fault but your own. Even if you wish to protest for something ridiculous, you should be allowed. What I see here is a University wanting it to stop so they call in the heavies to move along the protesters.

Protesting at KFC will probably be interferring with them doing business. Which isn't allowed. If you got enough people together and demanded to boycott KFC unless they gave the secret recipe you may have a chance. Im not sure what the best strategy would be for the recipe.

I understand how capatalism works and love it. I also know when I see an abuse of power.

You are correct. Some are rapists, habitual drug users, pedophiles, and college students who were indoctrinated by their liberal elementary teachers and think they have all the socialist answers.

 

Ok so if you have a different oppinion you are a hippy, obama loving liberal.

There are more than 2 points of view my friend. I know the media circus has trained you to think its just one of the other. To me society is a lot more complex than just one of two groups you must fall in to. Very easy to get caught up in the team mentality, I know.. but try to be smarter than that. So if you are pro-life you must be conservative?
If you think gays should be allow to marry youre liberal?
if you think adults should have access to marajuana you're liberal?
Tougher punishments for criminals you're a conservative?
Climate change supporter Liberal
Climate change denier conservative.
OWS supporter = liberal
Supporter of war = conservative

I think its rediculous how if you have an oppinion on any of the above issues people just lump you on to a team. I guess its easier for the masses to process.

 

hop on the band wagon! He doesnt even know why he's even there

 

people like this piss me off they don't even know what they are out there for
