Adam Carolla explains the OWS Generation

[scabzzzz]

Everytime I come into this section, I realize why I dont. Because people like Vedubbin exist.
If this country was rid of people like him, everything would be all right.


Im 100% serious when I say that.

Yes, natural selection is a bitch.

But with an ounce of compassion, I would happily volunteer to spay and neuter the parents of those kids you like to mentor. I would also donate money to drug test everyone on welfare, hell I'd even watch them piss to make sure it was legit.

Yes, it's wiki, flame away... sound familiar?

1. Natural Selection is an evolutionary theory and isn't related even minutely.

2. Nobody in their right mind, even the OWS dolts, is advocating for Cloward & Piven's strategy.

I don't have a problem with drug testing welfare recipients. There should be certain stipulations that come with social aid. Is the implementation of the tests feasible when you start laying out a detailed plan?

It was a tongue n cheek comment. Haha

Ohhh... Haha damn internet. Well if you figure out how please let me know.

So kids of deadbeat parents die?

Haha... how did you get that from what I was saying? What I was trying to say is that if you bust your ass to make millions, that's great (I actually believe the notion that money comes from hard work). But you still shouldn't get more of a say in matters that affect my way of life.

In other words, corporations or wealth shouldn't have an influence in our government. Which in turn has an influence in our daily lives, or our way of life.

Then how would some make millions without busting their ass?

And that's true and fine. My position on the subject is no entangling treaties, open trade and no more policing the world unless under direct threat... which the qualifications really need to be narrowed down to work.

When's the last time the US adhered to a treaty? Haha. Our standard of living isn't conducive to completely open trade.

Hegemony doesn't refer simply to military presence. I agree we could cut military spending in half and still be fine.

I agree with Adam 100%....

BUT... I don't think corporate america should have an influence in our government.

Whats wrong with that? Better relations with other countries, less money being frivolously spent through the military ( which also helps our global image) and the list can go on. This country does suffer from envy like carrola said, which includes our failing foreign policy.

how was this banned from fox? backstory?

I would speculate that what he says rings truth but doesn't sit well with the direction that fox wants the republican party to go.

[Dozyproductions]

It's unfortunate that now a days people that people who protest and criticize the government are looked down upon.

Only if you look the part for being hated by the right and left wing snobs.

[Dozyproductions]

even though I can respect what Carlin says man, don't post that quotation as some sort of absolute truth.

[VinniE30]

That was great and I agree with what he said.

But what he was saying didin't have much to do with OWS. This is NOT what OWS is about. Yes, there may be some homeless and jobless people protesting but OWS is not about poor people getting things for free and people getting money for doing nothing, which I do NOT agree with.
It's more about the government being corrupt and making decisions in favor of who funded their campaign rather than what's best for the majority of people in this country.(which is what the government's purpose is, to represent the majority.)
