Stick it to the man!
STOP.
Just stop, please.
Occupy is bullshit, straight up bullshit. Fresh out of the asses of lazy, pompous, "children" taking shits in state provided port-a-potties on Wall Street. Now before you freak out and go all "oh well you're a white Republican and blah blah blah" allow me to introduce myself.
Margaret, 22 year old, recent college graduate from Rollins College, Owner of beatricephotography.com, full time nanny, Agnostic, Lil Wayne enthusiast, employee of multiple companies since the age of 16, currently paying off my first car , currently living paycheck to paycheck in my loving parent's house (annoying, but thankful to have them), currently working my ass off to make it to an adult paycheck.
Absorb that, I am the same age as a lot of the young adults at Occupy and a recent college grad. I have a bullshit job, it is "beneath me". But you know whats not beneath me? HARD WORK. All these young adults bitching about, well some of them are conflicted and aren't really sure why they're there, so I decided to help them out and went out and found OccupyWallSt.org and this is what they say:
Occupy Wall Street is a people-powered movement that began on September 17, 2011 in Liberty Square in Manhattan’s Financial District, and has spread to over 100 cities in the United States and actions in over 1,500 cities globally. #ows is fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, and the role of Wall Street in creating an economic collapse that has caused the greatest recession in generations. The movement is inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, and aims to fight back against the richest 1% of people that are writing the rules of an unfair global economy that is foreclosing on our future.

OK. We get it the recession sucks but you used Egypt and Tunisia as your motivation??? Are you dumb? Must be. I can guarantee that your situations are no where near as intense or severe of those people in Egypt and Tunisia. I see spoiled children who don't want to work. I made my own job and company and I look after a 7 year old girl for most of my income. Clearly not my ideal goal. I have a college degree and I am a nanny and small business owner. I make almost $300 every week, almost. America was based on an idea that you can accomplish and change anything with HARD WORK. Hard work??? Oh my goodness what a novel idea?!?!?!!!
Now I know I'm going to be criticized for going to a college Rollins College because it is a "rich, white, country club" ok well you can take that and shove it. I'm sorry that my parent's work their asses off to have the money to send me to a good school, I'm sorry I worked my ass off in high school to have the grades to get into a good school. But I'm not. Get over it. Never mind that a lot of my friends and I received financial loans and scholarships. Oooh I said the "L" word! Loans, pay that back, just do it. You made an agreement that you would pay back the money you borrowed. What you are saying by protesting these loans is that you are not a respectable, reliable, or honest person.
"But Margaret I don't have a job thats why I'm at Occupy"
WHOA WHOA WHOA. Stop. Breath.
Now "lower" yourself and go get a bullshit job. Make minmum wage and live paycheck to paycheck. I will be the first to tell you that living paycheck to paycheck sucks and its hard but that just brings us back to the fact that nothing in life is fair or easy. If it is fair and easy then drop it, it is fake and will possibly kill you. You might be thinking of the kids with a silver spoon in their mouths from birth, well you know what they traded for all that money?? A real family life and real dreams, and other things that none of us can really speculate on.
Money is earned, just like respect and trust. Please for the love of goodness don't turn my generation into the assholes that no one trusts or respects.
Hard Work is the answer. Now get out there and stop doing drugs in the street, raping women, and shitting in those awful port-a-potties, and making NYC a more disgusting city. I would like to visit NYC again one day (when I have saved enough money) and not have to smell your nasty selves.
