But most Occupiers can't drive a nail or change a tire. I know one 21 year old kid who complained that no one ever taught him how to eat an ice cream cone.

Maybe, but they can do THIS! All this! Right here! Your ability to communicate with no effort whatsoever to people all around the world. To exchange ideas with anyone. Far, far more complex than changing a tire.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Uh, can you do all of those things? I didn't think so. Has anyone ever been able to do all of those things? Most likely not. And specialization is just a product of our evolving culture and economy. Sure it's nice to be a well rounded person, of course it is, but wait, what was my point? Oh yeah, who cares? Most of the occupiers lived in big cities and big cities have services designed to change your tires for you if necessary. This creates jobs and frees people up unconcerned with menial tasks to create some of the most extraordinary advancements in human history. Like the things were using right now to talk to each other. I don't see backwoods survivalists creating this kind of technology, do you? Humans only learn the things that are necessary for them to learn. If you live in the woods you will learn to be resourceful according to that environment. If you live in the city, the same is true. I don't think you're using perspective in your argument.

I'm working on it- how about you? I have done or have been trained to do 14 of the listed tasks. I'll put my score up alongside anyone who cares to count.

If we're the lazy unintelligent ones why do we have all the money, work in all the science jobs, create every important technology in the country, live in the most expensive states in the country, notice most blue states are on the coast where property is the most expensive because we are the most successful. Oh and also, blue states take the least in federal funding from the country. look it up. Red states take more in welfare by a large margin. we are self sustaining, you are dependent on our intelligence and technology.

Thanks for proving my point that democrats are dumb. Uneducated people tend to be democrats. That's a fact.
Education
There are two distinct levels of education among Democrats: those without a high school diploma and those with post-graduate degrees. Republicans gain a majority of support from high school graduates, individuals with some college experience, and college graduates.
http://www.debt.org/faqs/americans-in-debt/economic-demographics-democ rats/
If we're the lazy unintelligent ones why do we have all the money
LOL! Democrats don't have "all the money." In fact, it's not even close. Obama campaigned on class warfare - to tax the heck out of the rich and simply give said tax money to the poor in the form of entitlements. Obama was appealing to his base - the poor, not the rich like you claim. Duh! And, of course, the lazy and the stupid voted for Obama multiple times (and multiple times in each election - them democrats sure love to commit voter fraud).
Social Welfare
One of the clearest policy differences between the parties is the view on government assistance programs and social safety nets. There is a 35-point difference between Democrats and Republicans, with Democrats far more likely to support government assistance programs.
Republicans tend to give more to charity, while Democrats support publicly funded assistance programs. This could also be explained, in part, by Democrats lack of religious devotion, as a large percentage of Republican charitable donations support religious programs and institutions.
The groups that make up the Democratic Party are all distinct liabilities to society, not assets.
Income
An individuals likelihood of being a Democrat decreases with every additional dollar he or she earns. Democrats have a huge advantage (63 percent) with voters earning less than $15,000 per year. This advantage carries forward for individuals earning up to $50,000 per year, and then turns in the Republicans favor with just 36 percent of individuals earning more than $200,000 per year supporting Democrats.
Interestingly, the median household income in the United States is $49,777 right near the point where the Democratic advantage disappears and the Republicans take over.
About half of Democrats express satisfaction with their personal financial situation, compared with 61 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of Independents.
work in all the science jobs
LOL!
create every important technology in the country
LOL! I love your sweeping generalizations that are not based on facts.
live in the most expensive states in the country
LOL! Your beloved democrats have been fleeing California in droves and heading to Texas. Why? Because democrats have absolutely destroyed California, much like they did to Detroit. Some conservative estimates indicate that CA is carrying about $1 Trillion in debt. So what's the democrats' solution? Blame everyone else and raise taxes. Typical.
Anyway, you conveniently failed to mention that democrats make up the lowest rungs on the corporate ladder. Why? Because uneducated people tend to be democrats. Contrary to what you believe, uneducated people are not CEOs of Fortunate 500 companies. Instead, uneducated people [read: democrats] typically hold menial jobs that anyone can do (i.e. put fries into a cardboard sleeve, tear tickets in half at movie theaters, spray Lysol into rented shoes at bowling alleys, cashiers, waiter/waitress/bus tables/fast food prep, hotel attendant, dishwasher, parking lot attendant, bartender, etc). Not surprisingly, Obama and his democrats want to hand those workers even more money via an increase in minimum wage. And of course, that would lead to an increase in prices, which would hurt the middle class even more. But try telling that to a demo.
So much for your ridiculous claims -
npagano05 — 11 years ago(March 09, 2015 06:40 AM)
CEO's and business people are not smart. Is that who you consider intelligent? haha And like I said, red states take more money from the government than blue states by a wide margin. All the money and technology is in the blue states. Red staters are rednecks who can't spell and think Obama is a muslim because they've never seen a world map before or studies anything other than the bible. Oh, they're also bible thumpers, which by definition makes them stupid. They're also the greedy scum still collecting your tax money in bonuses after they nearly destroyed the economy, which then led to BUSH deciding to bail out those motherhumpers before the recovery package was even a gleam in Obama's eye.

Also: "Uneducated people tend to be democrats. That's a fact. "
Yeah, most people in education from state schools to Harvard are liberals. That is an actual fact, so looks like you don't know what facts are.
Haha This is too easy. I love talking to republicans! They make me feel so smart! :))) -
npagano05 — 11 years ago(March 09, 2015 12:29 PM)
and like stiggers you failed to refute my point. Because you can't. Do you understand that he said it is a fact that most democrats are by definition uneducated. And do you understand that goes against the fact that the majority of all people in the education field are liberal. How is your logical mind so poor? Most educated people are in fact liberal. This is an actual recorded fact. Why don't you side with the people who have actual facts? Are you stupid?
