    Default Rush Limbaugh on the wall street protestors

    What a truly stupid thing to say;

    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

Now they have a degree(maybe), still don't want to get a JOB, and feel that those of us who actually do grind it out every day should be forced by government to pay for their 4-year party debt.

    Limbaugh doesn't even have the wit to say 'most' or 'the majority' etc, but rather all, that they are all parasites that have all contributed nothing, =/

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Rush is still right about the vast majority of these people.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard

    They are parasites. Just like the idiots in your country who rioted over having to pay more for their education

    They want others to pay for what they think they are entitled to Noir

    Have you bothered to read what these fools are demanding?

    http://www.debatepolicy.com/showthre...sto-of-demands

    Here is one example Noir - sounds like the freeloaders in your country as well

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    I once met a Nazi who was a very good guy. While in Germany my Girlfriend's grandpa was captured in the early days of WW2, spending most of his time in an English POW camp. However, when folks say "Nazis were evil" he doesn't disagree.

    "Most" is clearly implied. But 'All' is true when judged by their actions today; not what they've done in the past.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Funny, he didn't say "all." Nevertheless, do you think the man in the pic supports all most of the "demands" put forth by many of the protesters?

    For all we know, the poor guy was pulled out of a nursing home and paraded around like a show dog. He doesn't exactly look like the protesting type.

    Americans are idiots.

    Oh did you think I meant all Americans? Obviously I didn't, afterall I didn't use the word "all", right?

    /Sark.

    As for what he is protesting about/for I have no idea. Nor do you

    Americans ARE idiots. Collectively. Less so than Europeans, it seems. As...these 'idiots' have had to fight your war, and save you from yourselves several times in the past 100 years.

    As are vegans. Did you expect him to take the time to properly asterisk his comment and all/some/most/etc.? He made a comment that, in his view, summed up the protesters.

    I can read his sign which did not indicate support for free education/guaranteed $20 per hour/free health care/etc.

    Much ado about nothing.

    Yes, I think it's important to use words to convey what you mean effectively.

    Especially when some will quibble over minute details to the detriment of the overall point.
