    So you don't think obstructing traffic and access to private property are valid examples of free speech, then? Good. We're making progress.

    Oh, I have fully latched onto it. The world does not owe me a living.

    That's the classy Spacetard I know.

    No, I don't think your Occutard buddies are gainfully employed, taxpaying citizens. I think they're a bunch of bitchy college kids who think someone else should pay their tuition, then hand them their dream job for more pay than they're worth.

    And a third thing that exists only in your prejudiced perceptions. I could post a description of a few different folks, but you'd just plug your ears, stamp your feet, and call me a liar. SUffice to say, you're full of shit about people you know nothing about.

    Asking someone not to actively inconvenience me is not even in the same ballpark as claiming the world owes me convenience. And framing it as mere "convenience" is a bitchy little attempt at trivializing it anyway. You're talking about streets in metropolitan areas where thousands can't fucking get to work.

    Any time you start in with some whiny bullshit about income gaps, "living wage," or companies not paying in proportion to profit increases, you're playing the "world owes me a living" harp, like it or not.

    A) You can show me where I said that, or admit with your silence that you are once again lying out your ass.

    B) I don't start fights.

    You mean you could cherry pick a few examples that don't represent the whole. Not impressed.

    Good God. You honestly believe they are actively trying to inconvenience you?

    Do we have a 'the sun revolves around me' smiley?

    No, what I believe is that they are casually trivializing and ignoring the convenience of everyone around them. The way children do.

    They don't have to be specifically targeting me to be actively inconveniencing me, you fucking pedantic asshammer.

    You don't have a right to convenience.

    Show me where I claimed that I did.

    You won't find it. Nor will you be able to argue with any credibility that anyone has the right to inconvenience me.

    Wow. This is even more stupid than (and completely at odds with) your usual pathology.

    If you commit a crime, a cop can inconvenience you with handcuffs.

    That's just one example off the top of my head...I'm sure there are fancier ones...

    In other words, you'll plug your ears, stamp your feet, and say I'm editing the truth. Well, I was close.

    How can they expect them to be provided for free when they are all things that need to be done by other people who also need to be paid for their time and labor? Do these occupy people really expect doctors and teachers to spend their lives enslaved to the masses who want what they can provide?

    And if there are not enough people to provide these services to all people? What then? Are other people forced to learn trades they don't want to in order to provide the services?

    Not to mention all the supplies and extra costs of all these things...where will the money come from?

    Nope. Just to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Catching happiness is up to the individual.
    Also, you don't have the right to someone elses.

    He's exactly what he accuses the Occupy protesters of being: an entitled, whiny child.

    Congratulations. You've explained why centrally-planned economies in general and communism in particular always fail.

    Yes, you have clearly explained why countries like Germany are impossible -- or automatically impoverished. Well done!

    That second-to-last word is rather hyperbolic. At most, they tend to usually fail, not always.

    UA, quit arguing with Spaceturkey. Just do what is necessary if the Occutards impede your way. Drop it into low and go OVER them rather than the time consuming AROUND them.

    I will have to get in touch with my son immediately, so he can take the necessary steps to recover the money that was taken from him by fraud during the three years he lived in Germany. There were people there who made him pay rent, not knowing that "free housing for all human beings" was part of "countries like Germany."

    I'm sure he will find this information particularly useful!

    Danke.
