Crazy lady marries a building (true story from Seattle)

And they ban gay marriage but not this? What has the world come to… -_-“

I understand (well not really) the one guy who married his DS (technically, Nene from Love Plus) because he fell in love with the girl in the game, but a building? Bitch, A BUILDING?! Can that building tell you you’re pretty, have sex with you, provide the bills, and etc.?! She could have just bought the building if she’s looking for a way to rep the occupy protest and  have a base for her fellow protesters to set up in. But to marry a building? Surely, this bitch jests.

This is why most people don’t take the Occupy protests seriously and see it as a waste of time and a fuel for meaningless riots. BECAUSE. IT’S. TRUE. You waste of space. You give a bad name to the REAL occupy protesters who actually do good like lobbying and not just occupying living off whatever open space there is and litter drugs and syringes (protesters who camped at SCCC, I’m looking at you).

EDIT: oh, looks like the building was supposed to be demolished to be built into a housing complex. And the protesters decided to just use the building as a base for their meaningless purpose… Smh, way to ruin a project that would have been able to house your people into real houses.

You succeed at missing the point of the action. The marriage of the building was primarily to showcase the fact that you cannot marry a same-sex individual and the absurdity of allowing this. In debate we call this the reductio ad absurdium argument by reducing something (in this case marriage) to absurdity to show the logical fallacy in the opposing point of view.

As for the fact that this was going to be turned into a housing complex, so what? Are any of the poor going to be in that housing complex? No. Why? Because it would have had high rent as part of the process of gentrification to push the poor ever further away even at the cost of the property running under-rented. This is a normal process of building construction found all across America.

And how are lobbyists Occupiers? How are the lobbyists who are at the behest of the corporate interests ever helpful? Do you think that any of the lobbyists are for the average person? The Green lobbyists are not out to save the environment, they are out for subsidies and advertising so that the ones who own those corporations can profit off of the public thinking they are helping to save the planet. Are the PETA lobbyists out for animal rights or money? Are the Green Peace lobbyists there because the world matters to them? What about thte Susan G. Komer Foundation’s lobbyists, do you think with their 80% on the dollar going to “administrative costs” that the breast cancer or women’s health they are suppose to be caring for and lobbying about are at all important to them?Lobbyists are not Occupiers. Lobbyists are tools of corporations. Lobbyists will never help you.
