Yes....look at the NFL. The idiots of OWS are all pussies. They all want a handout. Yeah agree with BZ...the "everybody gets a trophy crown" really sucks. The best thing for your self esteem is to be told u suck and to work harder.

I will say that we are a nation that allows and enables crybabies

YES!  On the right, it's all "we're so offended, obama owes us apologies, we're victims".

On the left, it's "Let's carry our ipads around to protest companies that make ipads".

I dunno tho, I guess you heard the same shit during the 60s...
On the right, it was "Fuck yeah, we wanna go to nam over a lie!" and on the left it was "burn the bra" d-bags.

And derail the thread. The share incompetence of the LBJ admin...coupled with a US military built to fight the Russians..and u get what you got in Nam. The issue is waaaay to complex but it wasn't the Repubs who dug us in deeper. The bra burners were all pussies. When the draft stop, so did the major protests. Half these assholes on Wall Street are professionals and their gonna start trouble that we can ill afford. Bloomberg should stop this shit now.

crybaby is a vague term. He needs to define it or this thread will turn into a "this person/party/race/etc complains and whines a lot more than this other person/party/race/etc"

Then the other person will flip the sentence around in a reply. Then it'll go back and forth, bickering and bickering, while nobody ever really has a fucking clue what meets the standard for "crybaby"

So someone should define "crybaby". I would suggest he define it in terms of a socialist theory of distributive justice, but maybe that's wishful thinking.

Both 240 and HH6 make good points.  How much does the leadership in this country set a tone for all the crying?

They're some of the biggest crybabies around.

Not a “mob”:

(http://weaselzippers.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/OWS_CW.jpg)

An “angry mob”:

(http://weaselzippers.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Tea-Party.jpg)

(8/4/2009) — Statement from DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse on the Republican Party and Allied Groups’ Mob Rule:

The Republicans and their allied groups — desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill — are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country.

However, much like we saw at the McCain-Palin rallies last year where crowds were baited with cries of ‘socialist,’ ‘communist,’ and where the birthers movement was born — these mobs of extremists are not interested in having a thoughtful discussion about the issues — but like some Republican leaders have said — they are interested in ‘breaking’ the President and destroying his Presidency.

These mobs are bussed in by well funded, highly organized groups run by Republican operatives and funded by the special interests who are desperately trying to stop the agenda for change the President was elected to bring to Washington. Despite the headline grabbing nature of these angry mobs and their disruptions of events, they are not reflective of where the American people are on the issues — or the hundreds of thousands of thoughtful discussions taking place around kitchen tables, water coolers and in homes.

Somewhat related, but a friend shared a story with me the other day where some high school football league passed a rule limiting the number of TDs a player can score, because one player is lighting up the league.  They even named the new rule after that player.

Affirmative action and scoring quotas to encourage shitty football teams with unathletic players to feel good about themselves?  ::)

Sounds like modern day America except replace... well... Racist post reported.
