Is The Occupy Wall Street Movement an Answer to The Tea Party Movement?

[Ed W]

Isn't the anthropology department where Cro-magnon & Neanderthals are studied? There ya go.

Anthro studies current cultures too, Guido, like those tiny tribes hidden in the rain forest and the warrior culture of New Guinea (which is all but gone, apparently).  Margret Mead's "Coming of Age in Samoa" is another example of comparatively modern anthropology.  If you have an interest in low-brow, mouth-breathing examples of humanity, you can find them in abundance at any TP meeting.

Get a sense of humor Ed. Also, I took a cultural anthro course in undergrad so I kinda know what else is taught in that area of study.

Oh, and Ed, get a load of the genius protest going on at an elected official's home. Seriously, dancing tents?

Yeah, Ed, grow a brain, moran.

So you really do understand primitive cultures, Gee.  I'm impressed.  I had just one anthropology course, but I always thought that much of anthro and sociology were interchangeable.

Maybe you've missed it, G, but I do have a sense of humor, albeit slightly twisted.  I'm a student of the use of parody, sarcasm, satire, and I say student because it's a talent that needs to be continually honed in order to be effective.  In particular, I like stuff that follows Poe's Law in that it's so deeply sarcastic that it can be mistaken for the real thing.  See some of the late Jon Swift's stuff for brilliant examples:

Dancing tents? You think that lunacy should be "honed"?

You don't find the humor in dancing tents, Guido?  And you think I'm humorless!

Funny? How is going to someone's private residence at night to do what they did funny? In other news, I see the mega Attention Whore Cindy Sheehan is supporting these cretins, and in so doing, recently announced she has NOT paid her taxes since Casey's death.

[Ed W]

Sure, it's funny Guido, unless you're that poor, oppressed one-percenter cowering in his house while frantically dialing 911.  After all, dancing tents pose a distinct threat to public order.  Terrorists have been known to use them for disguises. 

You're asking me to have sympathy for those banksters.  I don't.

First, he is a city official who's decisions didn't settle well with your pee partiers, not a "bankster". And besides, why harass this guy's family? And why do many of these dooshes wear a mask or hide their faces? Pu$$ies.

Rat population has exploded around DC Occupy camps.

“Going down to these camps, it’s no different than refu­gee camps,” Akhter said. “People are living in very primitive conditions and they’re doing it by choice. They are very brave and thoughtful people, but my concern is that they should also take care of themselves. When the weather goes bad suddenly we’re watching a tragedy unfold in the middle of Washington, D.C. ”

Except G is behind the big iron gates where the peasants gather with pitchforks, axes, and torches....

[guido911]

Just wow.

A man is facing child cruelty charges after his 13-month-old daughter was found alone in a tent in the Occupy DC camp at McPherson Square.

Occupy members told authorities that a baby was alone in a tent at about 10 a.m. Wednesday, said Sgt. David Schlosser, a U.S. Park Police spokesman. Officers found the girl alone in the tent with no adults around. The baby had been alone for at least half an hour, Schlosser said.

Just wow.

Totally independent of any movement.  This clown should be flogged.  Severely.

Sheesh, at what point do you say that criminal and amoral event after event at these protests starts to stick.
