> [@jayjay](#): > > Keep screaming into the black abyss of the future, caveman. Your kind are losing their hold on the world, minute by minute. At some point, maybe in my lifetime, people are going to look back on the homophobic bullshit the way we look at Jim Crow. And the Republican Party will get to play the part of the Dixiecrats. Funny…most of those became Republicans after the Democrats told them to up sticks and get out. I dunno, they seem to be gaining quite a bit of ground. The world does not always progress (see dark ages) sometimes it shifts into reverse and slam on the accelerator. ---

Nothing would vitalize the OWS movement more than some serious police brutality. Americans LOVE being the underdog fighting against corrupt authority. A couple of NYPD beatdowns and the OWS movement would cover the entire financial district. ---

You don’t want to be in it when the cops come down. The brutality is mind boggling, but it feels like the cops are enjoying it. That in unnerving. The police have brutally busted up several occupations already. There will be more. ---

Right wing childish insults . Ah mothers milk to them. It is what they bring to discussions and applaud themselves for brilliant repartee. I suppose in right wing and third grade circles it is. ---

Well, I see the membership is taking advantage of the opportunity to discuss one of the biggest movements on the planet by wasting each other’s time. If possible let’s see if we can get around to the subject. Two days ago 85 demonstrators in Oakland California were arrested so the mayor could clean the park. There is upheaval and violence. Here is utube. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fR2hx7yXjE](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fR2hx7yXjE) \*\*The topic of this thread is “Occupy Wall Street” \*\* ---
