Brilliant!
Not allot to add to that, except that there in lays the generalized correlation of “Conservative Neanderthals” who actually work and produce things verses the “Liberal Pansies” who wish to live their lives in relative luxury and pleasure on everyone else’s backsides.
A generalization of course, but it rings true though history and certainly throughout the Third World.
The sad part is that the people who really need to hear this message, never will.
At one time in this Country even city kids like me went out to farms to pick rocks. For money during our teens. Now its just a give give attitude. Thats about to change. Nothing lasts forever, even our civilization. These effete child men will find id they get what they want , they will lose all they have.
There are plenty of Nations out there that are willing to sacrifice to achieve.For them selves & their children. These entitled lambs will be eaten like chops by those willing to suffer for the future.
Bill, that was well said and so true. Keep in mind many of these people are as you say and useful idiots of some that know what you say is true, but hate the system enough to turn it upside down.
Bill’s comment about real life being difficult, messy, dirty, and sometimes bloody, is the crux of the matter.
Take gun control, as an example.
One of the favourite yet specious arguments of gun control advocates is that people have no need of guns. This is usually made by urbanites whom, as Bill says, have never been exposed to and have no appreciation for the dirty jobs that underpin their way of life, where everything is found neatly and cleanly at their fingertips.
Astoundingly, the same folk are sometimes enviro-fascists too, harbouring a desire to see humans return to living off the land, to some bygone illusion of glory where there was no industrialization, and do not seem to perceive the irony that they’d be the first to die in the wilderness for lack of basic survival skills and lack of experience at killing anything, let alone preparing and consuming it. Bill’s aim is true when he speaks about cutting firewood, starting a fire and boiling water.
Seems to me the farther removed someone is from real life, the more likely they are to be a neo-liberal.
No truer words are spoken. I always believed hard work would get you where you want to be in life. This new generation of young adults has no idea what hard work is and how to benefit from it. When the entitlement ends for these people as it is showing in these protests, anarchy is created and what happens next could be very scary. The fall of the American empire is at hand.
Yeah well….that may be true but
Rocky View Redneck says it well…
“The sad part is that the people who really need to hear this message, never will.”
Except never is a long time….
The grim truth is that these clowns are NOT the 99% and not even 1%….evenly counting those who inspire them…
Perhaps the Mao’s and pol Pot’s methods…re-eductaion camps would be an appropriate solution to these fools….and if their wildest dreams come to pass….that will be their fate.
Tain’t right…tain’t wrong…it just is…
sasquatch,
All that needs to be done is to dismantle the welfare state that suckles them,…then nature in all it’s careless cruelty will provide a re-education.
Wow!! I think Bill Whittle should try chopping wood and carrying water for three days. Have a look at what inequality in income does to life expectancy, infant mortality and the general well being of a nations citizens. That is what the OWS protestors are trying to educate you sheeple about. http://www.ted.com/talks/richard_wilkinson.html
And yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. You missed the whole point of the video so let me explain it for you. Hard work equals just rewards, a degree in Engineering will pay more than one in “Social Science”. I guess maybe you want something for nothing? Good luck with that sweetheart. As my buddy Murray always says Life’s hard, wear a helmet.
Forget about survival in the woods. I give these “occupiers” two minutes without their cell phones. They will spit up blood by then.

Virginia, correlation does NOT prove causation.
Learn it, understand it, know it.
Thinking that correlation proves causation is a logical fallacy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation
Nobody here is against equality.
We are all for equal opportunity here at SDA.
You, however, are for equality of result/outcome, which is an impossibility because it is unsustainable and immoral.
Inequality of result/outcome cannot be overcome, that is a Utopian fantasy.
There will always be greater and lesser people than yourself.
Get over your envy and your guilt and just deal. *by the way…I liked that ROLEX commercial at the beginning of you video…delicious irony that was*
“I could stop the rise and fall of civilizations. I really believe I could.”
Seriously? LOL
I can’t tell if this guy is serious or just pandering to his audience.
“I could stop the rise and fall of civilizations. I really believe I could.”
Who, other than an environmentalist or Islamist, would actually want to stop the rise of civilization if they could?
No, I don’t think Bill Whittle meant that.
It was a device to catch the listener’s attention.
Wow! Well it got my attention and not for the better even though I agree with him on most points.
And do you really think enviromentalists and islamists are anti-civilization? Maybe anti-western style civilization but a civilization can take on many forms whether you like them or not.
I know environmentalists and Islamists are anti-civilization, I don’t just think it.
Easily proved empirically, but it’s Off Topic.
You brought it up… but what ever works for you, you big dreamer you!
There’s an old saying, “If you don’t work, you don’t eat”. Unfortunatley there are those out there who think that the rest of us owe them a living because somewhere along the line they were sold a false bill of goods by a leftist college professor or an NDP supporting parent (notice I didn’t say PARENTS). If these morons in the Occupy movements were ever able to create the society they hope for it would quickly crumble under the weight of all the welfare bums suckling the government teat. When they are left to fend for themselves they don’t know how to work for a living or take care of themselves so they won’t eat. And when they eventually die from malnutrition or disease I won’t give a rat’s ass since I will see it as a natural culling of the leftist herd.
There’s an old saying, “If you don’t work, you don’t eat”.
How old?
This old:
2nd THESSALONIANS Chapter 3
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he EAT.
Couple of my comments have disappeared. Economic facts and figures aren’t tolerated apparently. That’d be s serious credibility problem developing. Unfortunate that.
“You, however, are for equality of result/outcome, which is an impossibility because it is unsustainable and immoral”
What is unsustainable and immoral is the current economic model in which large banks are bailed out by the taxpayer yet the CEOs still receive multimillion dollar bonuses! The system as it is is NOT working! The financial crisis did not occur because of a “welfare state” It occurred due to the greed of a few at the very top , who by the way received social assistance via the bailout money!
“Inequality of result/outcome cannot be overcome, that is a Utopian fantasy.There will always be greater and lesser people than yourself. Get over your envy and your guilt and just deal.”
I agree that there will always be rich and poor, that is not the problem, the problem is the degree of the financial span which separates them. I have a friend who makes over 1 million/yr, I am not envious of him, yes he works hard but no harder than many of my other friends who struggle to pay their mortgages and put food on the table. I have no feelings of guilt for my middle-class life style, I worked hard to get here. That being said I was also the recipient of social assistance as a single mother. Were it not for that social safety net at the time I would not be paying taxes back into the system. The OWS movement is asking simply for fairness and transparency in the system. Personally I choose to live in a world which believes in social responsibility, not every man for himself.

Bill Whittle is totally right.
Here is how right he is:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2053463/Occupy-London-90-tents-St-Pauls-protest-camp-left-overnight.html
Yup, these protesters aren’t even able to rough it by actually living a 24 hour day at there “Occupation” site, they’re sneeking away and sleeping indoors at night somewhere.
The sad part is that the people who really need to hear this message, never will.
At one time in this Country even city kids like me went out to farms to pick rocks. For money during our teens. Now its just a give give attitude. Thats about to change. Nothing lasts forever, even our civilization. These effete child men will find id they get what they want , they will lose all they have.
There are plenty of Nations out there that are willing to sacrifice to achieve.For them selves & their children. These entitled lambs will be eaten like chops by those willing to suffer for the future.

Kate already covered this in her NP article a while back.
