Looks an awful lot like Greece or Egypt these days, yeah?

I prefer aluminum.
The neuro connectors tend to be hindered by the density of the aluminum at a far more efficient rate than with tin.

I wear neither, since tinfoil hats are actually a government conspiracy to amplify the signals and focus them into your brain.

Seriously thought it's very encouraging to see lots of municipalities go from crackdown to backdown overnight after that marine got his skull smashed by a police projectile (and then had a flash grenade go off next to him while people were trying to help). You may not be a big fan of OWS but they made some real progress for 1a yesterday.

Thanks for the link. I had no idea what you were talking about when you first started this thread. So the marine got shot? Was he doing anything wrong
Edit: tried to watch the video but need to upgrade software or some shit. Anywho people were protesting, it got violent and the guy got hurt. Its all fun and games till someone gets hurt.
I guess the bigger question is, are you willing to die fighting for your cause?

I'm not really sure what you're getting at and I'm borderline pissed off by your statement. Here is my interpretation of a combination of this post and others you have made recently, "OWS is completely peaceful until the government sends in paid instigators, which then allows the police to escalate force. Which caused a Marine to be injured yesterday in Oakland. And as a result of yesterday's government-instigated violence, the cities have backed off and OWS has made great leaps for people to utilize their 1st amendment rights to "peacefully" protest."
Please tell me that I'm misinterpreting what you're saying.

I didn't get that from his post. The officer who tossed that last flash bang, should be punished accordingly. He knew (or should have known) that there was an injured person that people were attempting to assist, and then threw a flash bang right into them. His or her actions were nothing short of reckless.
-
Sigh. His post had nothing to do with the one officer (who I agree SHOULD be held accountable for his actions). He is currently on a cute little anti-government denunciation...I don't know if he is a legitimate wack job, a troll, or for some reason just decided that he wants to try something new. Either way, it makes this forum (which the "average person" probably already thinks is a little loony) look like a bunch of camo wearin' hide out in the woods wanna be Rambo militia types. If no one calls him out on it, then we have nothing to stand on.
I can already see the State Attorney bringing this up at your trial, "Mr. Baker, isn't it true that you're a Moderator on a local gun-rights forum called 2aHawaii?" "Yes." "Isn't also true that there is a deep anti-government bias on that forum as indicated by posts x, y, and z?" "No." "No? Well, I turn the jury's attention to defense exhibit #_."
Thanks for the bambuster heads up. Live streaming is the way to go, but can't be 100% relied on now that wireless networks and internet censorship is taking off on it's latest nefarious phase. Also don't believe the hype on the Seattle protests. There were widespread reports of provocateur actions that let the cops off the leash and turned a peaceful protest into a riot. Do not be fooled that it cannot happen here. I might be called in to work during APEC but seriously considering taking an outer islands trip instead. USA is falling apart and needs another war to maintain status quo now that we are supposedly out of Iraq in 2 months. They already allowed one Pearl Harbor to happen here in order to pull us into ww2 and I don't want to be standing around when history repeats itself.
As you can see, he is implying that the government is trying to cause riots to happen (it is common on anti-government blogs to see claims of undercover police acting as provocateur agents and inciting violence, yet there is never any video evidence that they are the ones causing the trouble. Are there UC cops in the crowds during these events? Absolutely, but every video exposing the UC cops shows them being called out BEFORE the violence starts. If what they say is actually true, then with all of the cameras and anti-government types at these protests, I find it absurd that there is ZERO video footage of what they claim.), apparently because of the drawdown in Iraq. By that inference, I read his post in this thread to be about much more than just the single officer. I take offense to the fact that he seems to be claiming that the police WANT riots to happen so that they can hurt people ("let off their leash" as if they are rabid dogs).
Hell, he even admitted in the other thread that he is deliberately posting conspiracy crap on here...you guys can believe whatever you want, but it seems pretty damn clear to me.
EDIT TO ADD: I'm really pissed at all of the ass-clowns who spend every waking second bashing the military, yet the SECOND something happens to one of us, they hold him up as a freaking martyr (read: use him) for their cause. Yes, the officer deserves to be punished, but this Marine vs. the Government shit has to stop. It is EXACTLY what the conspiracy nuts and anarchists want to see happen. Believe me, I'm the last person to be exalting the joys and praises of our government, but THIS ISSUE isn't about the government, so let's not make it one.

I'm still on the opinion that the occupy people are mostly a bunch of folks that do not have a real point or agenda. And just because mommy and daddy paid for their college degree or is kicking them out of the basement, they expect that the hardworking folks need to give them a $100K job and give them a free ride. Screew that, start from the bottom and work your way up!
They go out, make a mess, start unrest with a bunch of anti-America sentiment and racism, and expect that the REAL taxpaying America is going to clean up their mess, as usual... And call it 1A??
I think that the real majority of hard working American middle class Is sick of this. I know I am.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
It's not about anti-government sentiments, but economic justice. There is a tiny percentage of the population that plays by a different set of rules than the rest of us and now the world economy is starting to shut down because there is nothing left for them to steal. The only reason you aren't supporting the protestors is because you still believe the fiction that you can become one of the rich guys some day if you play by the rules, but with every passing day the middle class that made this country great is withering away and the fantasy that the networks have been spinning will be exposed for the naked lies that they are. One day soon you will come to accept this. Until then feel free to call me all the names that you want, because the more shrill your attacks on me the more reasonable I sound. I'm in no rush. Time is on my side.

You couldn't be farther from the truth. I (and others here) are Enlisted men of the military. Have you looked at the pay scales lately? And we do this voluntarily, because we love our country and the constitution.
Speaking of the small percentage of rich, maybe you want to look onto the relationship between George Soros and OWS.

I'm curious, does anyone know what OWS suggests as a "solution" to their perceived "problem"?
-
There definitely is a problem, but of OWS has a solution, I haven't heard it.

You're right, there's definitely a problem. IMO, the problem isn't the "tiny percentage of the population that plays by different rules", it's the ones in government that deems that an entity is "too big to fail". If I were in charge of a company that is too big to fail, why wouldn't I continue to risk it all if there is in fact no risk? Anyway, I'm more interested in a solution than a protest.

I highly recommend watching this all the way through and finding out more about Peter Schiff.

What the heck is economic justice? Half my paycheck to taxes?? If I where so called richer, more than that even? I know some guys who own businesses, successful ones, and they play by the rules all their life, they are getting hammered by taxes, regulation, and bullshit! This is the exact reason that they cannot expand their business and hire people, that is why there are no good jobs. What good is it to be successful if you will be penalized. Don't lump folks into this fantasy that all rich are somehow criminals. :wtf: you still believe the fiction that you can become one of the rich guys some day if you play by the rules
This is entirely possible, but only for one problem, It takes a LOT of hard work, intelligence, stamina, and perseverance. Intelligence to look at what the rules are and use them to your advantage, the stamina to go to the job you love and pursue it day in and day out sometimes with no breaks for years on end, and perseverance to continue on until the ends, that one wants, are achieved.
Now what do these protesters want to achieve? Who the hell knows? They cannot even come up with a coherent set of demands! If these jerkoffs, that are costing US, the tax paying, hardworking, Americans millions to cleanup after, would just go out stop blaming others for there own laziness, crying about how hard their life is here in our great nation, would go out and spend some time looking for a fucken job, they could be a part of building our nation back up to the world power we once where, instead of trying to defeat it. Then we could all reap the benefits of success. And that means ANY job that is available! If your degree has no job openings at this time, then go fricken work at McD's! Keep looking for the job that you have studied for, or go learn something new...
These guys must not have traveled anywhere else on this globe, they should see what the hell goes on in other countries on this planet. (your link to the Bosnian guy should have opened your eyes on that one (http://www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/a-survival-q-a-living-through-shtf-in-the-middle-of-a-war-zone_10252011)) I've seen some shitholes out there, and these protesters seem to want to follow that model, well I say fuck that!
You seem to be the one that is buying into fantasy.

Economic justice is nothing more than the newspeak term for what we used to call socialism. All this talk about the eroding middle class and how the top 1% has the system rigged, and nobody can succeed in America anymore sounded better in the original Russian. Victory for the proletariat! Down with the decadent excesses of the bourgeois! Viva la revolucion!
There was an interesting news report I read a while back that talked about how immigrants almost always flock to the Democratic Party, except for one: There's a fairly large group of immigrants who came here in the nineties and roundly reject the philosophy of class warfare and economic justice: Russians. They interviewed a few, and the reply was all the same, they've all seen the end result of wealth redistribution, economic justice, etc, back in the motherland. OWS is first and foremost, attempting to bring the finest portions of life in the USSR here to the US, and secondly, they're making a huge mess, disrupting normal peoples' lives wherever they go, and generally acting like filthy Woodstock hippies. Which is why they're being cleared out one after the other, and I applaud that fact.
