Occupy Dunedin?

[tigertim20]

Seen this in dunedin today when driving through the octago. Bunch of pot smoking jobless hippies taking advantage of free rent, with strength in numbers as a strategy to avoid being told to fuck off, while whining about 'greedy corporate cunts' who are greedy because they earn lots of money that they work long hard hours for.

at least thats what I assume its about? Anyone want to enlighten me?
I was hoping it was a celebration for the opening of hippe season. If so, Ill need to sight the .22 in . . .

[mashman]

and those who work long hard hours doing multiple jobs and don't get paid millions of $$$, let alone the minimum wage? Jobless hippies? Perhaps you should have stopped by and found out for yourself, or were you too scared they'd try to convert you bock bock

Something in connection with the wall street protests how people were bashing corporate giants, meanwhile they were using corporate products..

Well this is my understanding

I dont give a fuck either way to be honest, just wondered what it was about. franly, there were banners all over the place, all about something different, which made it look disorganized and confusing, I figured, why would I support a bunch of cunts so drug fucked, they cant decide what they want to actually protest?

I'm not sure when the season starts ... but the daily bag limit is two ...

As they can be found in (large) groups ... is is possible to get your bag limit in one shot. (lead shot may be used)

All about something different... surely not, almost as if there's more than 1 thing wrong with society . It's not meant to be organised and they have decided what they want to protest against, because they have banners covering a multitude of issues. Bummer that that seems confusing to ya... it makes perfect sense to me .

I'm telling ya! them's oranges under the onion skins, I can tell by the label

The protest started in America and is not aimed at manufactures or any one else who made their fortune through hard work, but at corporate bankers who manipulated the money market and caused the global finace collapse.They did this to blackmail the U.S government into handing over billions of taxpayer dollars. The bankers then paid themselves millons of dollars in bonuses. Meanwhile many hardworking Americans lost their jobs and were thrown out of their homes because they could not meet their mortgage payments. The ripples were felt in N.Z. the firm I worked for went from a million a month turnover to eighty thousand and several employees lost their jobs....And no, Im not a hippie or a protester....Im not an ignorant redneck either!

[willytheekid]

Dunno.....it COULD get interesting ...........

[marty]

winz should go through and record all dole bludgers who are there, and remove their dole payment for the time they are not looking for a job

Yeah and that can be respected but if you look at the what many of the people who call themselves 'the 99%' are complaining about it covers a whole range of stuff, much not even related to corporate bankers. Those hangers on who are just getting in because it's cool to protest about something have diluted the original intent of the protest ... not saying that I agree with that either though as I don't have the unbiased info to let me decide on that.
