Davis pepper spray , and one prof's response

Klimmer,

The banks paid the money back. And, social justice is a socialist dream.



The evil one

Klimmer,

The protestors are specifically asking for their student loans paid for. Why the heck do you think they were sitting in the middle of a college campus, blocking the way and demanding to be heard?

I have another question: Do you think the Nazi's, the Communists, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, Ahemdindjad,...

Would ever have "teamed up" with Jesus?

And, more importantly, he with them?

He didn't even like the money changers at the Temple. And, unlike you, I don't think he and the terrorists, Nazi's, and anarchists would have gotten along all that much...

Just sayin'

I mean, you can feel free to discuss it, there is nothing wrong with that. But, to tell everyone else God want's us to impose "social justice" at the point of a gun is nutty.

That is not why the college occupy protesters are protesting. They are fighting for Social Justice, and affordable education is a big part of that cause.

When Jesus was in front of Pontius Pilot he never lectured him on social Justice.

You keep saying this as if it is true. It isn't. At least there are no records of it.

It may be true to you. I respect that. Feel free to believe anything you want. But, respect that it isn't what many believe Christ's message to be.

In fact, many believe you water down the message by shifting responsibility of taking care of the poor and needy onto a few people. In this case, the 1%. (Who by the way already pay the bulk of Income tax in this country. Which makes the OWS message so convoluted.)

There is ZERO evidence that Jesus ever asked for Rome to take care of the poor.

In this country we do take care of the poor. We should do a better job. Unfortunately, we have morons sitting on sidewalks, willing to be pepper sprayed for "affordable education," getting in the way, screaming at everyone that they are the message. They aren't.

Matthew 19:16-31 (KJV)
[16] And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
[17] And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
[18] He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
[19] Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[20] The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
[21] Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
[22] But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
[23] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[24] And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
[25] When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
[26] But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
[27] Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
[28] And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
[29] And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
[30] But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

Luke 12:48
"For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much be required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."

“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give it to those who would not”

The Occupy movement has become more about the violence taking place than the goal these protesters were initially fighting for. Even at UCLA the attention has been more focused on those arrested during the Wilson Plaza and Wilshire protests rather than the ideals of the movement.

“Protesting and being angry won’t solve the problem of the wealth inequality, a real diffence must be made,” said Peter Lewis, a second-year chemical engineering student.

These protesters have drawn massive media attention to their cause, a great feat indeed, but now what? The top 1 percent will not be so quick to change their ways – not after years of comfortably living in this society.

Protesters should be trying to take steps to improve the future of society instead of attempting an all-out war. The best attempt would be for these protesters to solidify a political identity for themselves. In less than a year, the Tea Party grew from a sect of the Republican party to its own entity. Now, candidates are altering their positions to appeal to these Tea Party voters.

If the Occupy movement can unite to form a political machine, candidates and the government would have no choice but to change their stances in order to appease the 99 percent.
