The quote in the title was uttered by an Entitlement Occupod in Vancouver. The fact that one of the smelly, vacuous, work ethic deprived nitwits at the “protest” would utter such absolute nonsense speaks volumes about his delusions of self importance. Charles Adler and Lorne Gunter discuss this and the forthcoming end of the ‘Occupy’ protests. Gunter has an alternative suggestion for such folks: Pack your tent and go home
If these occupy nitwits want to fix the world….they can begin by taking their lead from the junkie that kicked the can a few days ago…
fewer hippies…the better.
Breaking: Police are responding to a shooting in “Occupy Burlington”:

Just like the Tea-Party rallies.
Maybe after they fix the world they can fix their smell.
Much bigger job, they are smart enough to be up to the task.
Because they are soooooooooooooooooooooooo Progressive.
Over almost before it began. Before it even got really cold. Much noise and fury for nothing. Did out some police brutality antics in Oakland and Berklee. http://reason.com/blog/2011/11/10/straight-up-police-brutality-at-occupy-b
they should really change the name to Infest Vancouver…
Those comments and mindset are reflective of a pre-disposition to totalitarianism.
Make no mistake, those seeds of intolerance to dissent are present and these minds will be fertile ground for a charismatic personality that taps into this desire “to save the world”
Drove by Occupy Frozen Wpg yesterday..it was cold,and snowing.Funny,didn’t notice any of these ‘fix the world’ types out busily working on this problem.I guess huddling inside the tents to stay warm took priority.
Soccermom…..Infest Vancouver is already a reality, bedbugs have taken over even 4-star hotels. Bedbugs are actually quite clean and would not take kindly to being compared with the human detritus.
Yet still, they love their mayor moonbeam who thinks taking a city back to the nineteenth century-chicken coops, vegetable gardens on the city hall lawn, bicycles, modern-day equivalent of opium dens-is progress.
The city name is better described as Vanloser, they have totally lost an conception of progress.
Police brutality in Oakland? You must have missed the interview with a young female Occupier who when asked if the Occupy group started the violence said, to the shock of the TV reporter, Yes! However, the police were too mean in responding.
I shake my head at the “proportionate response” crowd. PC stupidity kills the wrong people.
@ Markon.
Indeed. If you throw bottles at police they will respond with force since bottles and other hurled objects HURT when they hit you. These idiotic entitlement morons feel they have a right to inflict harm on others with impunity because they are going to “fix the world”. The only fix they are capable of is of the heroin kind.
Wanting to save the world by my observation is code for wanting to control it. Margaret Wente’s column in the Mop and Pail touched on that. There’s no shortage of these morons who feel they’re entitled to tell everyone else what to do. “Everybody wants to rule the world”. They just can’t come to grips with the idea that the supply of wannabe world rulers has hugely outstripped the demand. So their degrees (those that have degrees) in world ruling/professional grievance mongering by whatever moniker they choose to attach to them (womyn’s studies, sociology, etc) have been rendered completely redundant by all their fellow travelers.
If they really want to occupy (or infest) something, they should infest Big Education and all those sociology profs who sold them a bill of goods in the first place. But the con artists at Big Education, like slick pick pockets, shifted their victims’ attention to an object of distraction before they scored. The ultimate testament to the stupidity of these marks is that long after they’ve been conned, they’re still distracted.
There was never any intention on the part of these dirtbags to effect any real change. If you want an insincere group of over-privileged hippies, look no further than that group.
And now that we are positive that these “Occupy…” events are nothing more than rape-fests and ground zeroes for diseases and vermin, will someone at the top of the political food chain give them the boot?
Watch out folks, it might be the Pokémon strategy.
Too bad cities are starting force them out.
They are the perfect postcard for their own leftist downfall.
Yup, next summer will be very interesting after a winter at home reflecting on how little relevance they have and will ever have on the world.
I sense that anarchy will prevail. What these little shits don’t realize is that they are going to whip up the real poor in America after another 6 months of Obamba economic failure. Then it will get ugly and Obambas promised change will happen, but not a good change for the real 99%ers.
Police brutality?! More like police impotence as the infest (put name of city here) movement spreads. These morons seem to be unaware of Niven’s laws (formulated shortly after the 1968 DemocRat convention in Chicago:
Don’t throw shit at an armed man.
Don’t stand in front of someone throwing shit at an armed man.
Seem like pretty basic and self evident concepts to me but I guess not something the infest(something) protesters learned in their years of wasted “schooling”.
Why do we not hear any news of the Occupy Moscow or the Occupy Beijing movements for instance. I’m sure they have some 99%ers there too? Of course it is possible that those 99%ers have other things to do since the social system likely isn’t going to support them.

I don’t suppose you’ve read the comments section of this blog have you?
