Hello Occupy Community,
This morning our logistics team had a lot of items stolen from them. We need a few things to be donated:
- Six 12-foot-long 2″ x 4″ boards
- Two 16-foot0-long 2″ x 4″ boards
- Nails (spikes)
- Saw (electric)
If you could get these items to us tonight that would be great. Thanks!

I have 3 or 4 sheets of plywood, and some 2 X 4’s. Do you have anyone with a truck?
The wood is in Watertown.
Ralph, I have a hatchback and the seats all fold down. I could possibly pick up the wood.
I forgot to get notified by email….let me know if you still need the wood picked up.
Millerz,
I still have wood, if you can transport it.
Ralph. Can you give me a way to reach you. ie/ cellphone
Will have to be later this week….will bbl…
Sheesh….third time is charm. Checked off the wrong notify!
I can get the Nails (Spikes) if somebody tells me what exactly that is the quantity. I am planning to be there for GA at 7 or maybe a bit later.
you forgot to put Jobs on your list you moronic wastes of life
Ryan,
One of the issues these people are speaking about is the lack of employment in these times. Maybe you are happy flipping burgers for $3.50 /hour, but some people want meaningful work!
I posted on another chain about there being 354 entry level jobs in boston. The jobs are there. and what do you mean by meaningful work? Sorry most of these people chose to party through college and enjoy their art history, english, journalism, basket weaving majors. But many of us who majored in needed fields (that we planned, it was no accident) have more job offers than we know what to do with. So suck your pride up and get a job instead of sitting on unemployment as you ask for handouts. The Legend of Bagger Vance, you should rent it sometime.
So, the incoherence of Ryan’s posts speak for themselves. He doesn’t really deserve our attention. But he is probably a really sad character as well, I imagine him choosing to monitor this site and spit out his hateful bon-monts rather than really examining whatever it is that makes him so clearly sad and angry (while at the same time obviously a childish sucker who longs for the easy answers provided by the film he recommends below) ….
All of that being the case, I just want to say I don’t like it when people construct workers and their work as meaningless, even those that occupy the easy puchline job of of burger flipper … If, as you suggest, Ryan is a happy burger flipper, its too bad that anyone would slag on him for that (particularly when he giftwraps so many other things to choose from)
Looks like you did not waste any effort trying to understand what this is all about. Unfortunately, you are not original in your confusion, every other negative comment tells the occupiers to “get a job”. But see, most people in the movement HAVE jobs, suggesting otherwise makes you look… untrustworthy, I guess.
How about instead of using the wood and nails to improve your really cool campsite you guys can use it to improve the infrastructure of the US. You guys could do it for free, seeing how your not making any money by hootin and hollerin down in dewey square. By the time you guys figure out how to use the hammer and nails, the economy will have been restored, new politicians will be in office and you guys can go out and find what you call meaningful work.
And yet, they still keep voting the big D !! Wanna know why the banks got bailed out? Handed billions with no oversight?
Obama
Pelosi
Frank
Dodd
And the rest of the socialists ya’ll keep electing!!
So put down your Starbuck’s coffee, your iPods, webcams, Mac’s et all… and REALLY speak against your “corporate greed” we workers call “business” – and throw out the politicians that gave our money away freely – and accepted millions in political donations in return.
You pigs SPIT and ASSAULTED a uniformed member of the Coast Guard !!
Occupyajob, you’re sadly misinformed. It’s because we have no one trustworthy to vote for that we need to take to the streets. Obama bailed the banks out because of a law Bush signed in October of 2008. Was Bush a socialist? No, they’re BOTH corporate puppets, and that’s why people are protesting. The protesters don’t spit on people….but maybe you missed the Boston police knocking down veterans and trampling the American flag? We have no opposition with you. But how can we vote out all of the politicians? They all are not acting on our behalf (with the exception of a few lone voices, which is not enough).
What about the jobs and hours of work lost to the festival your occupation forced the organizers to cancel….really, do you even understand the concept of self responsibility? Don’t blame the snake oil salesman when you buy his product
god forbid people practice their rights
Practicing your rights? Sure thats what your doing. Breach of Peace? Yea i would say you all have broken that law. You guys are an anchor in our society. Why cant you all just move this protest into some really cool club house or something, or better yet, you guys should all link up on your webcams and your new IPhone’s. Then you guys would be “occupy the internet”! Wow, now there’s an Idea. Please move your “Peaceful Protest” out from Boston. I don’t think Boston wants you hear.
No clear mission defined, no solutions to the complaints or problems…..sounds a lot like the people you are complaining about. Change only happens when you have clear organization of goals, not masses of complaints. This website even suggests that this is a forum to discuss the legalization of drugs at General Assembly meetings, but hasn’t that been brought to voters directly in ballot iniatives. Create a goal and solutions/requests quick or loose any battle you are attempting.
Why should I take advice from somebody who can’t spell “lose?”
It makes sense thats why. With all the complaining and topics of protest, I don’t see what your goals are. Do you expect the politicians and the financial sector to just say, “You know what, you guys are entirely right, our fault. Tell us how to do this.” That wont happen. It seems like you all are very impatient (as am I) about the recovery of our economy. And I’m certainly not satisfied with our politicians, but by dumping a truck load of complaints on them, your not going to see anything change, because they wont even know where to start.
Agree w/ Sane.
Dude… Go buy your own wood. Your constant asking for handouts kind of undermines your cause (whatever that actually is).
Here’s the cause. Everywhere you look…every aspect of our current and future circumstances…is fucked up. Unemployment. Low wages. Healthcare. Foreclosures. Student tuition. Pollution. Illegal Aliens. Homelessness. Government corruption. Inept administrations. Institutional racism. Prison populations. Teacher’s pay. The rent is too damned high. Listeria in the spinach, or the cantaloupes, or the bean sprouts. Global warming. Oil spills in the Gulf. Involvement in 6 wars we can’t win. Christ, you name it, and it’s fucked up, everywhere you look. So why not start with Wall Street? They’re a fine bunch of sneaky-assed criminals to start on.
As for the wood, I’ve already brought three loads down, and I’ll be looking for what he asked for for the next load, and it doesn’t undermine anything. See, not everybody is in it for a buck. Lots of us (gasp!) SHARE.
Good to hear, Jay. I brought wood and chairs the other night….hope they weren’t stolen. I’m worried about more foul play.
No shit! No wonder why these idiots don’t have jobs or money. They don’t know how to work, complain all the time, and on top of everything, they expect the city and the city officials to work around them. We need to start the removal of occupy.
I’m sorry about your life, Tom. You’re one of the 99% these people are protesting on behalf of. Go read a book, maybe a history one.
Your comment makes no sense, please don’t include me in your percentages, I dont want to be affiliated with you all.
I will be down with over 1,000 nails tomorrow. I support u guys to the fullest. F corporate greed. Jay
Jay,
Do you have a pickup truck?
I can donate a few full sheets of plywood. Or, I could cut them in quarters.
Also some 2 x 4’s and 2 X 6’s.
Can you leave a message at: peace987@hotmail.com
Go out and buy them then you cheap, lazy, smelly Idiots. Do you guys need nannies to, or perhaps diapers? The dawn of re-occupy Boston is upon us. Prepare for the exodus of Occupy.. Get out of Boston!
So, the plan is to stay there until Utopia is achieved, Jay? That is impossible. Basically u r going to occupy forever. Meanwhile the costs of the police details and extra garbage pick ups become a bigger drain on the city/state and eventually will force cuts to social services. U r not forcing people to see the specific wastes that r in our government, but r rather succeeding in creating another huge line item in the budget…seems contrary to the ideals u claim r the reason for this unending occupation. I would live to see people from Occupy Boston volunteering to try to make the world a better place and pickering
You seem to have lots of spare time, OverTaxed. This is your idea of making the world a better place? Why not lead by example?
I definitely volunteer and make time to do so. Funny, that u say that means I have a lot of time given that this site is about people living in tents indefinitely. Sorry u don’t like the idea of helping others. Surprised by ur reaction.
You know nothing about me. I live in a house and volunteer for various causes…one of them this one. You (or “u” as you find it cute to text) prefer to task others. These people aren’t in tents today, they’re marching. Why aren’t you? As of last night we’re in war #7. Boots on the ground in Uganda. Are you happy with us as world police? Happy that so many here are hurting? Happy that the criminal fraudsters have not even been indicted? This is the America you want? Come to Park St in half an hour and see for yourself you’re represented, too!
Wow! Nuts much? Don’t judge and climb on a high horse. I suggested volunteering and u went bananas. Sorry, but I am typing on a phone and have a small child. Sad that a ”u” is offensive and my phone autocorrects. If you don’t want to engage in constructive dialogue, then you should stop commenting as you are making the group look unyielding and judgmental. It is NOT supposed to be about only one view. I don’t know you, but your hate speech makes me glad of that.
http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/zip/2640291408.html someone should go grab this, unfortunately I can’t
Good catch, but too far and too much for my vehicle. But I will start checking cl too.
When are the citizens of Boston going to Occupy “Occupy Boston” and demand the end of our tax dollars being used to support and manage these drifters?
answer to the know it all posters just like on yahoo articles
Look at the tea bagger’s posts.
What’s really up with these people?
What are their motives?
Why did the tea baggers cheer and laugh at a fellow American’s death at the tea party debate?
Why did a recent post hope the wall street protestors get beat to a pulp with lead night sticks ?
Why are they such racist pigs?
Why do they take such pleasure in other American’s poverty and misery?
Why are they such constant liars?
Why do they act like a subservient peasant class, who bow and scrape to the rich.

It is a know fact conservatives are afraid of their own shadow yet easily resort to violent threats
Conservatives have increased gray matter in the amygdala, an area of the brain associated with processing emotion, particularly fear and respond to threatening situations with more aggression than liberals.
So they are paranoid and as the song goes “Paranoia strikes deep. Into your heart it will creep “
Paranoia occurs in two forms: (1) the “bad me” paranoid; and (2) the “poor me” paranoid.
Clinical Paranoia affects 2.5% of the population of the United States.
(350,000,000 x 2.5% = 8,750,000 about the size of the tea party
“The Tea Party is not a unified political movement. It consists of a wide variety of relatively disparate groups, none of which have a concrete membership. It’s estimate that 18% of the public supports the Tea Party, nearly all of these people identifying themselves as Republicans. A reasonable estimate isn’t possible, but active participants probably number around
>>>>> five to ten million persons.” Coincidence ??
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The “bad me” type tends to be more full of rage and sadistic than the other type is.
Paranoia in all its forms tends to be organized around aggression, from sadomasochistic violence to lingering hostile mood.
Paranoia is an insidious disease which develops slowly as a secondary personality characteristic, fuses into a more or less dysfunctional coping style, and may or may not become the dominant pattern. Psychologists suspect that the cause of paranoia is found in the mothering experience, in particular, the breast-feeding experience. Successfully breast-fed infants develop the capacity to feel supported and a tolerance for frustration. Unsuccessfully breast-fed infants (those who viewed the experience as “bad” in some way) develop a distinct inability to experience self-satisfaction, tolerance, and positive relationships. Internalization of the bad experience leads to the initiation of provocative and confirmatory interactions with others, mostly through splitting (seeing things as black-white, good-bad, weak-strong) and projection (accusing others of having the disowned aspects of your self).
A full-blown “bad me” paranoid perceives threats in everything other people do, often exploding in manic, counterphobic episodes.
A full-blown “poor me” type views the world as basically unfair and persecutory, countering their anticipation of discomfort with either antisocial behavior or grandiosity.
Fox news and Rush Limbaugh have directed their brainwashing agendas directly at these paranoid people and it has worked very well.
Panic Mongering is fox news’ number one brainwashing method
Panic Mongering. one step beyond simple fear mongering. fastest way to bypass the rational brain. when people are afraid, they don’t think rationally. when they can’t think rationally, they’ll believe anything.
When they are always afraid watch out !
Wrong Paul, Perry, Palin, and Bachmann all pander to these paranoids and stir them up
So there it is in a nutshell
