First of all, you certainly do not need ...Ah, Joe.<br /><br />First of all, you certainly do not need my permission to express your opinion about my blog.<br /><br />I had to chuckle at your characterization of my "abject depravity" LOL!<br /><br />I suppose from the point of view of someone who wraps his life and mind in the shackles of millenia-old, superstitious, mumbo-jumbo invented by a bunch of illiterate nomads trying to create meaning where there is none, yes, I must seem quite depraved.<br /><br />But the word depravity implies an impairment of virtue and moral principles and I do take issue with that. Just because I do not adhere to your narrow, prehistoric moral code does not mean that I am without morals or virtue.<br /><br />I am very much a creature of my time. I live in THIS century. Like most of my contemporaries I am a Free Thinker and I do not look to the Reward of Eternal Life or the threat of Eternal Torment to inform my judgement as to what is right and what is wrong.<br /><br />True morality is exhibited by who you are and what you do when no one is looking...not even a Supernatural Sky Daddy.<br /><br />I would submit that my moral compass is much stronger than those I see exhibited by many on the Right who call themselves Christians.<br /><br />I certainly have more compassion for the least fortunate members of our society than I have seen from ANY Republican.<br /><br />If Jesus were walking among us today, do you REALLY think he would be voting a Republican ticket? REALLY????Xavier Onassishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345787343828318445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-80713937823773203742011-10-20T12:54:39.219-04:002011-10-20T12:54:39.219-04:00XO: "...I tend to use ALL of the words in the...XO: "...I tend to use ALL of the words in the English language."<br /><br />That's going to take a while...there are a lot of words in the English language.<br /><br />I can hardly wait to see your use of "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" or "honorificabilitudinitatibus."Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693381971064363612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-31382313170078664852011-10-20T12:48:52.965-04:002011-10-20T12:48:52.965-04:00XO: You do not need my permission (and I certainly...XO: You do not need my permission (and I certainly would not withhold it)to use your blog any way you want to.<br /><br />I made reference to it as it is, and voiced my opinion of it.<br /><br />I assume you give me permission (without reservation) to express my opinion of it, hence your statement about its purpose.<br /><br />It is, however, the evidence of the abject depravity of your mind, as is your response to my critique.<br /><br />I truely believe your blog accurately represents who and what you are.<br /><br />Does it?Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693381971064363612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-54484135598656015742011-10-20T11:30:59.671-04:002011-10-20T11:30:59.671-04:00Joe - You apparently ONLY read web sites that alre...Joe - You apparently ONLY read web sites that already agree with your point of view and therefor offer a skewed view on world events. No doubt you think Fox News and James O'Keefe are objective journalists.<br /><br />You should try opening your mind to other points of view. You just may find that your myopic philosophy of divinely inspired capitalism has a few chinks in in it.<br /><br />As far as the name of my blog, there is nothing racist about it at all! I am a white guy, I do live in the suburbs, and I'm incredibly hip! That's just truth in advertising!<br /><br />As for your opinion of what I write, it may surprise you to learn that you are not exactly my target demographic.<br /><br />If you bother to read my profile, it clearly states that I am "...a cranky, old, white guy spewing often ill-informed opinions about whatever the Hell he wants, just because he can. Deal with it...".<br /><br />As for the language I use on my blog, well, it is MY blog and I tend to use ALL of the words in the English language. <br /><br />When I am in your home (your blog) I respect your rules and curtail myself. <br /><br />In my home, I do as I please and those that don't like it are free to leave. I find that a well executed expletive, properly used and precisely placed help with emphasis and serve to drive home the true meaning and import of a comment.<br /><br />Limit yourself if you like. But I will do as I please.Xavier Onassishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345787343828318445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-57936243264269579742011-10-20T10:13:30.208-04:002011-10-20T10:13:30.208-04:00XO: Nah.

I make everything up.<br /><br />I photoshopped all of those pictures.<br /><br />I developed special websites for my links to make people think OWS actually wrote what they wrote about CAPI-TOL-ISM (their spelling, not mine).<br /><br />I misquote people in the earnest hope that nobody will check to see what they REALLY said.<br /><br />When I copy and paste, I alter the results to seem more authentic.<br /><br />Boy, oh boy!

You've got Ron Paul fans, Communists and everything in between, fact.<br /> The commonality is that they all lack political power. All in the same boat and it's good they are talking to one another.<br /><br /> You should visit Occupy Boston and check out the low level of intelligence.<br /><br /> There is a power generator tent with pedal powered generators set up by M.I.T. students that are powering laptops, phones, lights and other items.<br /><br /> We have a library with an active book exchange.<br /><br /> Serving over a thousand meals a day including kosher, vegan and halal meals.<br /><br /> Had some homeless guys come in and lecture on how to stay warm and dry as the colder weather starts to move in.<br /><br /> Got a medical tent going, unfortunately we also need a legal tent.<br /><br /> There is a Sukkot tent celebrating the holiday. A rabbi drops in for prayer service.<br /><br /> The whole space is completely Wifi enabled.<br /><br /> Now, does that sound like one of your little astroturfed bus-ins to hear Sarah Palin talk for a half hour. Just who is organized here and how can you possibly compare Occupy to a simple Tea Party afternoon?Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-62057658631958170762011-10-19T17:56:05.995-04:002011-10-19T17:56:05.995-04:00Ducky: "the antisemitic teacher was fired as ...Ducky: "the antisemitic teacher was fired as a result of her statement."<br /><br />Well she should have been.<br /><br />But she represents the scattered thought patterns of OWD.<br /><br />Out of every 20 people participating in OWS, there are 20 different "goals."<br /><br />The guy with the finger signs represents the highest intellectual level present at OWS.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693381971064363612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-31719712922588891832011-10-19T16:33:46.664-04:002011-10-19T16:33:46.664-04:00That kid with the hand signals is very serious abo...That kid with the hand signals is very serious about the importance of finger wiggling.<br /><br />Thank God for the liberal elite that wackademia produces stupid liberal kids.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173702830006208833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-25250459255568040472011-10-19T16:18:04.940-04:002011-10-19T16:18:04.940-04:00Joe, the antisemitic teacher was fired as a result...Joe, the antisemitic teacher was fired as a result of her statement.<br /><br />There is no movement to demand she be given her job back.<br /><br />Any comment?Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-43138931870915666612011-10-19T15:03:40.348-04:002011-10-19T15:03:40.348-04:00Allow me to present, The 99% Declaration":
