Most of the occupiers are misguided mush brains that have no idea why they are there...

Box, help me out, was that video meant to mock the occupiers or romanticize the occupiers?  

Anytime I hear the phrase "social justice" I know it's code for socialism/communism.

Cicero...
FoxSnooze has rotted your brain.
  I do understand that the less educated in this country sometimes have a problem with vocabulary and  definitions of common every day phrases... often they have no idea of their meaning.
(Here is some help)


~Business Dictionary. Com
social justice  
Definition
The fair and proper administration of laws conforming to the natural law that all persons, irrespective of ethnic origin, gender, possessions, race, religion, etc., are to be treated equally and without prejudice.

Dictionary.Com
Definition:
     the distribution of advantages and disadvantages within a society

American Heritage Dictionary
(Generally, social justice has two key components)
social – “living together in communities or organized groups”, and
justice – “the upholding of what is just, especially fair treatment and due reward in accordance with honor, standards, or law”


I hope this helps your understanding of the words.

I know with your life experience, you may find this hard to believe, but some of the people in the crowd are wealthy,
and are looking for social justice for the rest of America.

Tony Baloney (The 'Bad Apple' in The Big Apple's exemplary Police Force) To Be Disciplined For Pepper Spray Policy Violation,
Not Brutality)

Here's a video featuring Tony Baloney and his pepper spray episode.  Way to go Tony!
You embarrassed the NYPD working for the Wall Street Banks... and even have a theme song for your bullying.
You must be very proud of yourself!

You know, Wall Street, real 'Capitalism' wouldn't have bailed you out.
Everyone would have let you rot, and let other banks who didn't throw money into the flames take over.

Ya gotta love the new version of capitalism.
Privatise profits, but socialize loses.

And far more than a few morons delude themselves into thinking they have the ability to become billionaires.
As soon as they get around to it.

The cartoon begs the question... why is it Occupy Wall street and not Occupy Congress or Occupy the White house?

Quoted from GrahamBonnet
I have work to do and taxes to pay and have been working since I was 12 years old. Hanging out in a park for weeks and months are very unproductive. I think the word you want is anti-climactic. That is what the experience is becoming. Why don't they have school or work? And if they don't have work, they why aren't they looking or making a job for themselves? I will tell you why- because your liberal baby boom gen has made this gen feel ENTITLED!


CHA-F'EN-CHING!!!

ALMOST.........THEY HAVE HALF THE EQUATION...that's what sucks.......their parents thought the true enemy was dead or........IGNORED enough to disappear...........


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

No, it should be called "covering your bases in case public sentiment/the press/part of your group turns against you" I felt I was watching a video version of spyrograph with all the circular logic this clown was using.

Hey Tbird... If you don't get it... You don't get it.  

Others do.
Like the CEO of Overstock.com, Patrick Byrne, a Libertarian and a member of the 1%... He Gets IT!

Hey Box, don't tell me what the F*ck I do or don't get.
I understand why they are there. What they don't understand is the only thing that will change the situation is the ballot box. Railing on wall street is like ragging on the oil companies about the price of a barrel when the commodities brokers set the price.

That clip was nothing but a CYA
