Are the 99ers
the people who have been unemployed for 99 weeks or more, or are they just everyone else that isn't the 1 percent?

I wanted to make a bumper sticker for my car and I didn't want to make something that might be confusing.

I thought you were seeking guidance on OWS terms.

2. If I understand it correctly,
The 99ers are people who have been unemployed for 99 weeks or more. The 99% are everyone of us who are not the 1%

4. It's probably the search terms, try 99% not 99ers, they are
two different terms.

8. Don't feel stupid!
Things are moving pretty quickly and it's easy to get confused.

5. Is that supposed to be witty and/or clever?
I'm telling you right now that it falls flat.

7. dear dog in the backyard
I just wanted fucking clarification. I admitted to being stupid because I used the wrong term when I searched.

What fucking falls flat is people who always have to pick a fucking fight. I'm not the enemy. Got it.

11. Most long-time DUers who post ambivalent things
know well enough post a little clarification along with it. If they don't, then I assume they aren't thin-skinned.
If I had seen your clarification, I wouldn't have replied that way. I don't want to start an argument, I'm just saying that by now people should know what to expect on the DU.
