I knew I liked Adam Carolla for some reason.. His take on the OWS Generation. LOL

Quote Carolla seems to miss the point to me. All the name calling and bashing do not touch on the real issues at all and are distractions. OWS isn't pissed that some people are driving nice cars and they aren't, completely irrelevant. These people don't want a rolls Royce or Ferrari, they don't look up at these people with envy, rather down with disgust because our fellow brothers and sisters around the world are starving.

You must instinctively understand that everything you have in your home, came from somewhere, at a cost of someones time and energy. Would some of this energy used for our blind consumerism be better used in the stomach of a starving child, or healthcare for the sick?? Some certainly think so.

Perhaps lateral-g is a good representation of this as we don't think twice about spending thousands on some billet aluminum that gives us pleasure for a week or two, but Africa?? F**k them they can all starve to death for all we care.

So back to OWS, some of these people have worked to get through school, now graduate in mortgage levels of school loans, and cannot find jobs. I might be a little pissy too if I was in their position. The banks more or less have created a "Degree" Bubble, much like the housing bubble. We push for everyone to go to college, give them low interest loans, and openly accept any dumbass into the universities these days. Surprise surprise, now everyone has a degree and they are worthless. End Quote



Ok here is the deal.. You are correct about the sensitivity, so please understhand that you have incorporated sensitivity into your statment.. Now as far as the OWS protestor go, it may have started out as Corporate, but it has gone to the individual also.

Anyone with a brain, should be careful as to what degree they decide to go for.. It is very very easy to know if your diploma will be worthless or not, so I am tired of hearing about that plight. If you were intelligent enough to go to college, you should have been intelligent enough to make an conscience decision about your future. Liberal Arts, isnt going to do a damn thing in the real world, so dont get mad if it doesnt get you where you want to go..

As far as what I, or others work hard for. I do understand what you saying to a degree, and I do my part to help my fellow man. If you really feel that way, then you should not spend a single penny on anything that would be considered a novelty or luxury.. Donate your excess and time to the causes you speak of, or else you are just as guilty as the people you are pointing to. By your own statement, it is a plight that you feel strongly about, along with trying to point guilt, but you personally are killing people if you dont give everything you possibly can also.. So, I hope you can sleep at night, because you spent money on a nice dinner or wheels..
