Spot on.

“Who parented these people?”

Interesting and appropriate question. I ask that question every time I go to Wal-Mart.

Excellent article. I’m really sick of these infantile people.

Awesome article! As the mom of twins, I am constantly trying to be “fair,” but no matter how hard I try, there are always times when one gets something that the other doesn’t. And that’s ok too, because that’s the way life works. I also have thought about the parents of some of these people, and wondered if they are proud or scratching their head asking how this happened?

More parents need to teach their kids the values that this country was founded upon - that it takes hard work to get ahead in life and that no one owes you anything.

... five things the OWS protesters’ mothers should have taught their children but obviously didn’t.

They have free will, MaryBeth. You can teach them until you're old and gray and blue in the face, but some of them are still going to turn out to be idiots, especially in a culture that rewards certain types of idiocy with attention and respect. (See: President Barack Obama)

May all your children grow up to be respectable investment bankers.

You look foolish, you smell gross, you are clearly high and you don’t seem to realize that all around you are people who deem you irrelevant.

Except for the Joe Biden's Nancy Pelosie's and Barak Obama's who are using you to help destroy the country you are enjoying these freedoms in. You are the ultimate 'useful idiots'.

Perfect analysis of the fleabaggers. A bunch of whiny spoiled brats and smoked-out hippies.

I have a nephew who ran up huge student loan debts (humanities: no good job to show for it) and of course is rooting for one the OWS “demands” — student loan forgiveness. My message to him, “great, let’s make it retroactive 35 years: you can start paying me back this minute.” I think that shut him up once and for all.

These confused and verminous protesters are easily spotted as toddlers, throwing screaming fits and hitting their mothers in the grocery store.

Serious people in a sober pursuit of social and political change don’t dance jigs down Sixth Avenue like attendees of a Renaissance festival. You look foolish, you smell gross, you are clearly high and you don’t seem to realize that all around you are people who deem you irrelevant.

ROFL!!!!!

The author nails it.

Your tattooed necks, gauged ears, facial piercings and dirty dreadlocks are off-putting.

Don't forget "saggers", i.e. pants below the waist.

There are reasons you haven’t found jobs. The truth? Your tattooed necks, gauged ears, facial piercings and dirty dreadlocks are off-putting.

When I was going to computer programming school in 1967, there were lots of "free spirits" in class. Not like the zoo inmates of today, but ragged shorts, beards, long hair - all the "in" stuff of the "out" crowd.

Graduation day came and we all had to interview for jobs. The transformation was astounding - beards shaved, hair cut, slacks, shirts and ties - in some cases 3-piece suits. All of us "straights" had a big laugh at how quickly Reality replaced Free Spirit.

If you are among that 4 percent, find a mirror and face the problem. It’s not them. It’s you.

LOL. That little fact will still be ignored by the OWS protesters.
