Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Picture All of America needs to See

don't know why, but it brought to mind instantly the scene from LD where Gus has to rope Call to keep him from killing the big scout.

Ricky,

I think they are in the early stages of trying to reach an agreement about the details of their core beliefs.

I personally believe that the banksters, in bed with government, have financially raped America, and this was one of the reasons for the beginning of the OWS protests.

Since then all sorts have joined in, some rabble, of course.

But....I don't define all of the protesters as rabble, though the media loves to focus on such things, and it makes "thinking" much easier, for those who do not discern, those who like to see the world as all black or all white.

It makes me sick.


How could that happen.


Not in Texas

when can we all just lock and load ??

We should em this pic to all our friends across America

Me too.

Perspective: Losing our Sense of it . . .
By Mary Beth Hicks

Call it an occupational hazard, but I can't look at the Occupy Wall Street
protesters without thinking, "Who parented these people?"

As a culture columnist, I've commented on the social and political
ramifications of the "movement" - now known as "OWS" - whose fairyland
agenda can be summarized by one of their placards: "Everything for
everybody."

Thanks to their pipe-dream platform, it's clear there are people with
serious designs on "transformational" change in America who are using the
protesters like bedsprings in a brothel.

Yet it's not my role as a commentator that prompts my parenting question,
but rather the fact that I'm the mother of four teens and young adults.


There are some crucial life lessons that the protesters' moms clearly have
not passed along.

Here, then, are five things the OWS protesters' mothers should have taught
their children but obviously didn't, so I will:

Life isn't fair. The concept of justice - that everyone should be treated
fairly - is a worthy and worthwhile moral imperative on which our nation was
founded. But justice and economic equality are not the same. Or, as Mick
Jagger said, "You can't always get what you want."No matter how you try to
"level the playing field," some people have better luck, skills, talents or
connections that land them in better places. Some seem to have all the
advantages in life but squander them, others play the modest hand they're
dealt and make up the difference in hard work and perseverance, and some
find jobs on Wall Street and eventually buy houses in the Hamptons. Is it
fair? Stupid question.

Nothing is "free." Protesting with signs that seek "free" college degrees
and "free" health care make you look like idiots, because colleges and
hospitals don't operate on rainbows and sunshine. There is no magic money
machine to tap for your meandering educational careers and "slow paths" to
adulthood, and the 53 percent of taxpaying Americans owe you neither a
degree nor an annual physical.

While I'm pointing out this obvious fact, here are a few other things that
are not free: overtime for police officers and municipal workers, trash
hauling, repairs to fixtures and property, condoms, Band-Aids and the food
that inexplicably appears on the tables in your makeshift protest kitchens.
Real people with real dollars are underwriting your civic temper tantrum.

Your word is your bond. When you demonstrate to eliminate student loan debt,
you are advocating precisely the lack of integrity you decry in others.
Loans are made based on solemn promises to repay them. No one forces you to
borrow money; you are free to choose educational pursuits that don't
require loans, or to seek technical or vocational training that allows you
to support yourself and your ongoing educational goals.

Also, for the record, being a college student is not a state of
victimization. It's a privilege that billions of young people around the
globe would die for - literally.

A protest is not a party. On Saturday in New York, while making a mad dash
from my cab to the door of my hotel to avoid you, I saw what isn't evident
in the newsreel footage of your demonstrations: Most of you are doing this
only for attention and fun. Serious people in a sober pursuit of social and
political change don't dance jigs down Sixth Avenue like attendees of a
Renaissance festival. You look foolish, you smell gross, you are clearly
high and you don't seem to realize that all around you are people who deem
you irrelevant.

There are reasons you haven't found jobs. The truth? Your tattooed necks,
gauged ears, facial piercings and dirty dreadlocks are off-putting.
Nonconformity for the sake of nonconformity isn't a virtue. Occupy reality:
Only 4 percent of college graduates are out of work. If you are among that
4 percent, find a mirror and face the problem. It's not them. It's you.

I'm arrivomg a little late. Take a look at the onlookers. They are no better.

If things turn to real crap it would be nice to know that guys name and address.

Was thinking oxygen, myself...skin'll do though...

I wouldn't have bailed you out...




mainly because I'd be sitting right beside you in the jail cell, though.

When attention seekers get their picture flashing across the internet at light-speed - they are getting exactly what they want.

When you ignore the idiots of the world - you win.

I'm sorry, did you say something? I wasn't listening.

Ooops, forgot the smiley.

It was an "excuse" to start the OWS protests. What prezactly would the message be? We don't like Wall Street, they raped us all, so we're going to cost cities/people money, time and effort to clean the shat up?

They have no plan, just a bunch of ill informed pukes trumpeting their own tune. Communists, socialists, marxists, etal.

They might as well be waving placards saying: "Look at me, I'm a kook shatting in your park and hoping to get arrested just to show you."

What a bunch of morons maroons.

Got it....all OWS protesters are "ill-informed pukes," every last one of them.

Thanks for explaining things to me.
