| So you succeed as a god by causing widespread famine, disease, poverty, violence, natural disasters, and hipsters? You are out of control dad. |

| The Planet Mibushu has achieved world peace under Uncle Pluto. Why can't you be more like him? |

| I would wager a guess that if we looked back on this time period a couple of decades from now we would consider Tom Hanks to be one of the greatest actors of our time. He would kind of be a behind the scenes, sneaky nomination; but I have faith he would win.
Exhibit A: He knows how to pick his roles, when so many actors don't Exhibit B: He has a wide range on the types of things he can play. He went from a childs toy in Toy Story to a battle hardened soldier in Saving Private Ryan and then at the other end of the spectrum he was a man looking for love in Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. Not to mention his excellent performance in Catch Me If You Can. Exhibit C: HE WAS WOODy FROM TOY STORY!!!!! This thread will probably be more relevant to American users. |

| I live in a basement and rarely see the light of day so I guess I am a troll...pretty soon my skin will turn green and warty. |

| As seen here.
I am not really sure what to make of this. It almost seems as if the proponents of the legislation WANT to have their careers ruined... |

| I keep all social networking sites locked up tight and only accessible to people I know well. I don't believe in adding just anyone. I have to have met you personally. If you aren't my friend, you can't see jack shit.
I share my first name with a few select people, but for the most part I try to remain anonymous. I practice safety on the internet because I have had my credit card number stolen before. Just another reason to be careful... |

Originally posted by Terra I wouldn't worry about the West Coast having earthquakes like this. The West Coast is located on a minor fault line so it is no way in danger of such a massive earthquake. Japan however is located on the Ring of Fire fault line which means they are in great danger of massive earthquakes all the time. On the bright side if this happened to any other country the damage would have been much worse. Japan is incredibly prepared for natural disasters like this. Nearly all their skyscrapers are specifically designed to withstand earthquakes and other potential disasters. They have a National Holiday for disaster preparedness. There are too many things to count that they had going for them. That and the situation with the reactors will most likely be resolved soon due the heroism and sense of duty of those plant workers. If anything we should be keeping them foremost in our thoughts because they are giving their lives for their countrymen. What they are doing is a testament to the endurance of the human spirit in times of hardship because when times get rough all we have is each other. |

| Well after a wide range of experiences that range from good to bad I have finally returned. I tend to disappear from forum life every now and again and Firepheonix mentioned I was missed by a couple of people here at Jul so I suddenly remembered (I have the attention span and memory of a flea) that I was actually a member here and I genuinely missed the board! So I am back. Hello Everybody! |

| I am going to glue two quarters to a string cheese and start pounding on every surface I walk by. Can anyone guess what I am? |

| Personally, I find the whole movement a little silly. I do believe the banks and financial system needs to be regulated better, but the idea that Wall Street is the big evil is a fear induced mob reaction to the downturn in my opinion. People don't realize that this takes time. The laws of this country are relatively outdated and they weren't designed for a lot of the situations we are in currently. People are upset with the way Congress is operating, but this is how Congress has ALWAYS operated. In fact the whole point of the system is that making laws IS a slow process. Checks and balances slow things down so one person or party can't push things through quickly without proper review. Congress has always been divided and that is the point.
People cry about corporate corruption thinking that it is a new development in the world, completely ignoring history. What of the guilds in the 17th and 18th century? The trusts during Teddy Rosevelt's presidency? The Patricians of Rome? This is nothing new people and it is not going to change drastically like you all expect it will. This is how things work in reality. You can call me cruel, cynical, and heartless; but the reality of the world is that it IS a cruel place. The whole idea of Occupy Wallstreet is also silly because of the lack of organization. If they want people to take them seriously then they need to take a page from the Civil Rights movement and organize marches instead of just camping out in parks. When you protest you also need a specific agenda and from what I have seen by attending the Occupy movement in DC is they don't really have a specific set of things they want to address and fix. They are all over the place and that is why the majority of America and politicians are ignoring them. This is just my heartless two cents. |

| Was I attacking you in any way Xkeeper? Did I insult your mother or something? If not, then there is no reason you should have responded in that tone at all. Pardon me, oh wise leader for having a view that differs from the left.
And great sources there, Wikipedia and all. And as for the jib about me looking stuff up...a Google search? Seriously? How about this for evidence, actually being there for the occupy protest march in Washington DC. Have you actually seen this movement with your own two eyes? My point is that people are acting SURPRISED that all this is going on, when it has been the status quo for hundreds of years, no thousands. And way to go to the extreme Mr. Philosophy with the murder quip. Your response was really uncalled for and I in no way deserved it. |

Originally posted by Danielle I second this motion. I picked this up for 25 cents at a library book sale and I have read it 3 times, each repitition is just as fulfilling as the first. READ THIS BOOK! As for me, I haven't had time to read. The most I read now are my school textbooks. |

| First off I want to apologize, I have been having a really bad week and Xk's post kind of put me over the edge.
Back to the topic at hand, I think that the rich do need to be taxed more, but I think it should be done in a different way than just income tax. The majority of these fat cats get their money from stock options. That is what companies award their CEO's as a "bonus". Make these stock options taxable and you have a ton of new income coming in and it doesn't raise the red flags of class warfare. Crying "Tax the rich, tax the rich" in the streets isn't going to solve anything. You need a specific agenda to bring to the table. Protests HAVE to be organized in order to have an effect. Camping out in a public park with signs is not going to work. You need marches and boycotts en masse, everything that the civil rights movement employed. In my opinion their strategy for protesting just makes them appear as a nuisance and it is not giving them the public image they need in order to succeed at their goals. If the movement was better organized then people would listen. Look at it this way, you say that no one knows this movement is going on? Well say you are John Doe and you have a job and a family to feed. Yes, you are angry at how things are handled with this economic crisis, but why should you endanger your job and in the end your family's livelihood to protest in the streets? Everyone is terrified at losing their job already due to many companies laying off people by the dozens. There is a very real fear at losing your job by leaving to protest. The majority of people are too scared to step out. There is too much on the line for them and that is why this movement won't get up off the ground unless they get some charisma and a better message. e: misspelling |

As someone who has had nearly 6 years of experience in the customer service industry, the majority of which was as a tour guide, I can say that I am not bothered by it much. Granted at the places where I worked we could have our last names on our badges i.e. Mr. Smith instead of our first names. Either way people were nice about it. I have never had a problem with angry customers because I have always had a way with people (especially when talking about history). I actually got an award from the former Secretary of Veteran Affairs, Edward Shinseki, for taking his group on my special tour of Mount Vernon. It is a very nice resume builder  |
