[QUOTE="awddsm, post: 1657862, member: 24895"] Before I start, I am one of this "occupy", gen-Y, digital generation, whatever the hell they're calling us now. The reason they offend me is because it makes some people pre-judge me for my age. Here's my issue with the occupy movement. Their sense of entitlement. I've come to realize there's only one thing that we're all entitled to, and that's to die, beyond that you make what you will out of life. I'm tired of hearing people b!tch and complain about how "this isn't how it's supposed to be" or "I deserve better than this". It's not just about the movement, it's about the mentality. I've failed out of college twice, I have worked crap jobs, lived in sh!tty situations. Right now my life isn't that bad, but I know that despite what I've gone through & what I've achieved I know that I'm only guaranteed to die hungry, cold & alone, anything more than that is a gift & blessing. Once they get this idea through their head then I think they would actually contribute to society, once they contribute then they can start talking about how a socialist system would benefit us. Until they are the ones who are looking down from the top and saying "look at those people without, let's help" instead of looking up saying "give me part of your piece" they really have no ground to stand on. /rant [/QUOTE]
