Lumi, defining the upper 1% by income in this country is purely mathematical.

Who's math are you using?

Do you have hard data which contradicts the IRS numbers? :shrug:

I'm using common sense,
say what you will about it.

But 1M in NYC is a lot different than 1M in Kansas :shrug:

My 6 figure income doesn't rate a drop in the bucket in NYC or SF, but I do fairly well where I live now.

But that still doesn't put me in the 1%

You make a good point about your "real" income depending upon your location.

Maybe I misunderstood the point you were originally trying to make about the 99% vs. 1%. But like I said, those numbers are largely symbolic and I can see no reason to take them literally.

It seems that we are coming to the middle of an understanding?

I heard some right wing vomit abot those that are involved in the OWS locations really are part of the 1% based on their income compared to there countries.

Well that's great to know, I will just take my earnings and stuff to some third world toilet and be in the 1% there? If I live before sunrise?

Right behind you
You can piss. cry and whine all you like about the OWS crowd.

First off, read the 1st Amendment, you know, that freedom of assembly thingy you so conveniently forget.

Now read it again, carefully, every word.

Where does it say the right of assembly can be ignored if someone throws a candy wrapper on the street? Or takes a dump on the street? Or smokes a joint? Or urinates on a fire hydrant?

Where does it say you can ignore the 1st if someone does something rude or unsanitary?

Where, asshole, does it say any of those things?

Here's a hint for you. It does not.

You can arrest an individual for violating a city ordinance, sure. That one individual. If a drunk OWS protester pisses on a cop's shoe, he can be arrested. He can, and only he can.

Now go read the 1st again.

The coward dies a thousand times, the warrior only once.


LMMFAO!

What are you, a warrior? BWWAAAHHHAAA. A warrior!

Yeah, sure, right - a keyboard kommando.

How about this sig line:

Real men don't make claims; pussies claim to be brave men.

JaVez? I know who he is, one of those hybrid critters: Alligator mouth, hamster balls.

He'll still be telling a real man what a badass he is while his intestines are spilling on the floor.

I can see it now:

JaVaz: I'm a gonna whup y...

BANG!

Thud.

Call the meat wagon.

A few of my favs......

"All you need is a couple of bounced checks and the cops show up"::facepalm:
No shit:mj07: :mj07:

The best was......

"How many others are sitting around smoking a joint and drinking beer talking about how fucked up it is"::142smilie :142smilie :142smilie

All the I hate America stuff in the background was great too. Great MOTHER FUKING piece:0074

The sad part is there were actually some valid points made, but just as any good radical does, they took it to the nth degree:sadwave:
