Occupy Wall St.

[Gandalf]

Miles...the demands of the "Occupy" group are as random as they are frivolous and they are PLENTY frivolous.

I'm a political and economic pragmatist and what these people want in simple terms is to punish the "ultra elites", bring everyone down to the same level, and then continue to be lazy and yes they are lazy.

The rich are just as lazy, they just employ other lackeys to do their work for them. Basically ways to manipulate this so called global market to their own benefit. They are of no use to American society nor give anything back. They need bringing down to a less lofty mountain as all they do is take and the government is equally complicit in this economic terrorism. Democracy has been sold to corporations who are now supposedly the same as individual people.

Was Steve Jobs lazy? Is Bill Gates lazy?

He hates Steve Jobs from his response from the other thread that was shut down. He also says he doesn't use anything that Jobs have invented or innovated. Pretty funny from a guy that's probably typing from his PC that Jobs was instrumental in marketing and bringing it to daily use for the common man.

Let's be honest now there will be the have and have nots. There will be someone out there that is more talented, smarter, stronger work ethic, etc. Then there are the ones that had a poor work ethic, not as smart, and not as talented. The latter group tends to bitch and moan about people that were more talented than them. It's like a garbage man that bitches why he is not successful as that lawyer or civil engineer. Or the guy that flips burgers at Wendy's wonders how come that Physician makes more than him.

How do I keep missing all these controversial threads that keep getting shut down? Goddamn.

No, it's true I don't have a great deal of time for Steve Jobs and I see nothing wrong with stating that. I live very much in the stone age when it comes to gadgets and I am very happy that way. A PC is as far as I will go but never Apple, though I don't hold that against them in any way. However, it is totally unrelated to this topic and I will point out that a Mod had a go at me first in that thread too, so I am not entirely to blame. Sometimes people overreact and Lyle is just being a fag by bringing up my disinterest in Steve Jobs. It's a vaild point of view to hold, though not terribly popular with techies.
