Occupy Wall Street Fail
September 30, 2011 at 11:10 am
How Skeptalkers get it done. ^_^
Tim and Travis are awesome guys, btw, and always seeking bullshit out - I don't have the cowabunga ninja turtle 80's lingo to describe how great they are.

Quote:I have no strong opinions regarding what these people are protesting about. I’m sure they believe their cause is just and I respect their right to make a stand. I do however find it supremely ironic that a group who is supposedly protesting about corruption and lies would produce such a blatant piece of propaganda. Especially one so readily falsifiable. I respect that people have their own opinions and beliefs, however I have no respect for those who blatantly lie to defend their beliefs.

The point is that these people are individuals. If one person posts a picture, it does not mean that "Occupy Wall Street" posted the picture. It's a protest, not a political party. Sorry, I'm just operating under the assumption that everyone standing on Wall Street did not have a meeting about posting that picture on the internet.

Tim's not attacking the whole group, Shell. It's just shitty for people who want to associate with that group feel it's justifiable to go against the principles they're standing for in order to get attention. I'm sure most people at that protest would be angry about it. I'll post some more stuff Travis got from the guy when I get home later.

For a fail, this seems awfully lite on the meaning. Normally 'fails' involve something hypocritical or far out enough to be noticeable when it screws up.

A lie is a lie, it was a good catch. (that pic was making the rounds)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Almost every human being lies,often. This one is a beaut. The kind of thing I'd do in a heartbeat if I was stupid enough to think I'd get away with it.

That's exactly what it sounded like, though I wouldn't necessarily call it "attacking," so much as blaming.
