    Profanity does not make one's point stronger. It only shows that one's "point" has little or no validity in the first place.

      Not as much as being wrong.

        Re: OCCUPY Honolulu

        Today as I walked on Beretania Street on the mauka side of Thomas Square there was a terrible stench stretching the entire block. Before crossing Victoria Strret and after passing the Occupy site the odor was gone. The city should use a high pressure system and clean the entire sidewalk and ground area up to the wall, and be diligent and remove those tents from the sidewalk. The tents were all unoccupied and there were only two people sitting on the sofa. I can't figure out why they are still there.

          That area is historic for stench, and it continues as the corroding underground lines reach the ocean. Try going to the Ward Warehouse/Makee St. area and it's really bad, it's a rotting alge smell. The City spent zillions repairing lines near the AofA/Thomas Square years ago due to complaints, and I know it's returned since.

            Honestly that smell has been there since before any "occupy" situation started.
            Along Beretania it comes and goes, stronger in places. Another strong spot is from Auntie Pastos to HPD.

              Well, if the source of the stench isn't coming from the OCCUPY encampment, then it leads to the logical question: Why in the world are those squatters staying in an area where the smell is particularly bad? Aren't there a thousand other places they could "occupy" where the conditions are more tolerable?

              There might be more than a grain of truth to what D'Alani is thinking, since the last people to notice a particular odor is when they themselves are the source.

              More importantly, no one has answered D'Alani's question: Why are they still there? It's totally pointless.

                There probably is some stink from the 'occupyers', many are homeless and using the movement as an excuse to hog up public space as they've been focused on lately and constantly moved. Too many are their own worst enemy and drag down the movement with junk actions. And why they'd pick that stinky area confuses me as well!

                  I went to Occupy Honolulu in late December to say hi and to play them some christmas music. No stench, and more than half were local locals. Spoke with a lovely, intelligent local girl who seemed to be in charge. Did the same in Los Angeles at city hall. Same thing, but with waaaaay more participants & supporters. I still honk & shaka every time I pass the hnl camp.

                    The OCCUPY Honolulu squatters were treated better than these stranded tourists.

                      Isn't Honolulu already occupied?

                            The Occupy Honolulu can also keep an eye out for these defenseless trees.

                              The Occupy Honolulu people let this happen again. I'm begining to think that they're lazy.

                                Is Occupy Oregon the sister station of Occupy Honolulu?
