Default Occupy Net54

Clearly there is an upper crust collector class amongst us who have selfishly hoarded the most rare and valuable collectible baseball cards at the expense of the “working class” collector. You in the top 1% have acquired Cobbs, Hindu Backs, etc, while the rest of us toil for a simple T206 common back beater. I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore.

So today begins my Occupy Net54 movment…I herby decry this unequal distribution of card resources and demand equality and “social justice” in the area of card collecting. Don’t make me spell this out any other way. I have an ’87 Fleer Bonds waiting in the wings and you have a T206 Walter Johnson (or something of equivalent value) to send my way in exchange. Viva le Revolucion!!

Funny? I am dead serious. That card in your avatar is a corporate asset that's got my name all over it

Funny stuff, Pat. Here's a pretty good "Occupy Wallstreet" spoof:

Personally I'm sick of hearing about these idiots. I'm also sick of them being comapred to the "peacefull demonstrators." The "peacefull demonstrators" never turned violent, nobody was ever raped, nobody ever died of a drug overdose and nobody ever deficated in public.

Pat, you are bang on right, entitlement has eluded you for long enough. So don't pay back that "student loan" since it was really a gift in the first place, and so you don't really have to pay it back. And what's more, that Rose RC you crave, like I do? Why don't they just send it to us? What's the matter with them, they owe us that much, don't they? Let me know where and when to sign up for your "revolucion." I hope you don't mind if I don't apply until Spring though, it is a little chilly up here to be tenting outside, and I really don't want to be inconvenienced. And besides, nobody has bought me a heater yet. But they sure owe me one.

Grant

For a forum that is supposed to be apolitical (and should be) David James consistently seeks political controversy in every post. It gets tiring.

Every post? Nice try, Kell.

I only remember ever posting my political opinion in one thread and that was in the Watercooler Section as did many others in that same thread (and I didn't even start that thread). But hey, I could be wrong. Since you made the statement above, why don't you link a couple of threads to prove your point?
