Joe Rogan on Occupy Wallstreet (Video)

reply to post by predator0187

GSP is out for a hurt knee. I'll take ringside seats for BJ though.

I am no longer in impatient anticipation for this weekend

Thanks for informing me on his injury though.

Sorry I'm not quite sure who that is.

If I find out I will let you know.

Its all great and wonderful, I am personally so glad to see people finally stand up to the system.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT???

Some more Joe to familiarize yourselves with...

Silences a dumbass heckler in his audience:




Compares human race to mold on bread:

That video is priceless. I bet that heckler wished he kept his mouth shut once he finished getting roasted.

Joe isn't the typical dumb celebrity, you should look up his videos and even his stand up. He makes a lot of really good points a lot of the time. Don't always agree with him, but who always agrees anyway?

reply to post by Wrath


I was always aware that he shared the same interests as I do but I was amazed by his commentary in the video. It was moving to see someone explain it so well. Hopefully he can help wake up some people that normally would not care about this subject.

I do plan on following his blog for now on. I have some caching up to do.

Why would that scare them? They, for the most part don't vote and are easy to placate. They also don't hold much actual political power. More hot air than anything that materializes. Most politicians don't count on the youth vote to win them elections.

Lets see how OWS does come this Winter....... protests only get you so far, then the real work has to be done. I just read how some group of the OWS crowd has amassed $500,000 in funds/donations......they are starting to be one of rich now. Lets see what they do with that money. Will they be a PAC or lobby like those they claim to despise. I think they will get co-opted somewhat like how the Tea Party got as well.

Download and listen to some of Rogan's podcasts.

He's a lot sharper than many people give him credit for, and they go deep into a lot of great topics that would appeal to most ATSers.

Metaphysics, ancient civilizations, UFOs, etc.

They're free. Give 'em a shot.

Huh I had no idea Rogan was into this sort of thing. To be entirely honest I have always really disliked him. Don't know hat it is he just rubs m the wrong way. Perhaps I'll look into him a bit more. Thanks OP.

You really should listen to some of his shows.
He's funny as hell, and really says things that make you think.
Ive known who he was since he wont the TKD championships at 19.

Joe says it like it is and has never been one to hold back.
He went onstage and ripped Carlos Mencia apart in front of a crowd over stealing comedy material.

Joe Rogan 2012!

And that's precisely what the OWS movement is going to change. When a disenfranchised demographic gets energized; watch out!!

Who do you think elected Obama? Let me tell you....Minorities that felt disenfranchised and ignored by the GOP. Ignore a powerful political force if it makes you feel comfortable but the "Times they are a Changein"

And all the name calling of "dirty hippies" "commies" "socialist" and all the other derogatory names will come back to bite the status quo in the butt as the message eventually filters down to the grassroots and main stream American Taxpayers that will find out how badly they have been screwed.

This is much more than a protest; this is a political and social movement. Why do you think all the Fox/Rush talking head conservatives are being so insulting. They are scared ****less!! If they weren't; they would ignore it.

I only watched the first vid, will go back and watch the others.

But....let me get this straight. We have a guy who has gotten wealthy off a political/economic system he is trashing. Sounds a bit hypocritical to me. Same thing with other celebs.....not just him. I actually enjoy what i have seen of the guy on TV. Hes funny, quick witted and very sharp. Seems like a pretty smart guy.

I guess i have an issue listening to someone talk about over throwing our government in his situation. I am kind of a car guy, and i watched a show a few months ago where he bought an older model challenger, and had it completely customized. Big motor, lots of mods....was putting out close to 900 HP when finished and was gorgeous. He spent many thousands to complete the work on this car. I bet his mileage is not too good in that car, but hes trashing the system that allows him to be rich enough to have this work done.

Dont preach to me and tell me to do as you say and not as you do......just sayin....

Money elected Obama.....the very thing the OWS should be all over but EVERYONE just glosses over it. Obama outspent McCain by more than a 2 to 1 factor. $730,000,000 to $333,000,000. Obama outpent McCain in Media buys $429 Million to $129 Million. I'm sure none of that mattered though, right?


Wall Street bet on Obama
Election 08: Wall Street's Big Donors

Obama's top donors

McCain's Top Donors

I find the Irony in OWS supporting Obama for the most part, to be choice.

I've been a fan of Joe's since the beginning of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). I say, Joe should get some of the UFC guys to protest! Lets see what the cops could do then....LOL

I just read how some group of the OWS crowd has amassed $500,000 in funds/donations......they are starting to be one of rich now. Lets see what they do with that money.

They should just take that money and create a media organization that tells the truth. I bet that would make TPTB poop in their pants.

Good video. Hope it works out for us. Hope it continues to spread. Watching and waiting..

The new main event- BJ vs Diaz will be a better fight IMHO.
I used to be a Condit fan, but IMHO he's got nuthin for GSP.
I wish Nick had made the press conference and hadn't blown the shot at GSP. That would have been an awesome fight.
Diaz over Penn by TKO in the 3rd.
Then Diaz over GSP by TKO in 5th early next year.

Speak for yourself buddy.
I vote with my wallet.
My BOA accounts have less than $5 left in them, everything else is in a small,ocal credit union and tangible investments.

Go ahead and taget me.
Im not yer "hippy protester" by any means.
Im just tired of funding a broken system with my hard earned dollar.

Im sick of being overcharged for someone to use MY money to make themselves rich.
I'll do it for myself from now on.

"BOA.. Goodbye and thanks for all the fish".
