I can't believe this. OWS just calls out people trolls when some people disagree with the movement or calling them hired provoker. Are you guys really that paranoid? Didn't the idea that some people may disagree with the movement occur to you people?
And there's a lot of these young people so impressionable and grossly still needs maturing. Reading some stuff and thinking they know how the world works and how should it work. It is really disappointing.
And on the other note, kinda revolting to see some OWS likes to stoke their own egos with the small incidents as major victories. Oh political debates are now focusing on OWS, major victory for the movement! In reality, they are just wooing the OWS to vote for them. Oh the eviction got canceled, major victory for the movement!!! In reality, the police just postponed it to a later date because they want to exhaust the protesters to easily evict them in order to remove the potential riot and collateral damage.
I really want this movement to thrive, but unless you people really organize and make a real statement, troublemakers will attach themselves to this movement and no matter what you think and say, other people will think they are a part of your movemnt
First, yeah, we are that paranoid. We absolutely believe that multi-billion dollar Corporations are trying to destroy the only movement that's threatening them.
Second, The movement's been around for less then two months. Chill out.
lol yeah implying the corporation cannot just simply set up shop in other countries that would welcome them and making more Americans jobless
Two months and you really can't identify your enemy with any accuracy at all.
Stop smoking all the weed and you will feel less paranoid. i quit a long time ago and I don't feel nearly as crazy anymore.
You are wee bit cranky. and a little bit nasty. where's the positivity? Sure looks like envy and bitterness.
So, you really do not think that some people-without any provoking from a billion dollar corporation-OR payment of any kind-may just simply disagree with how you are going about things? Disagree with you. See things differently than you do.
We are calling the people who come on here to cause drama repeatedly trolls. Somebody may disagree with the movement, come on here and express their thoughts, and more than likely that will be it. then they move on with their lives. But the ones who like to linger around day after day saying the same old tune are just trolling their lives away.
And the movement is working, it is moving forward. The constitution wasn't created in a day... thats the biggest problem with American thinking these days. You are so used to push button service be it a phone call, the Internet,...a pizza, you want things now. Some things just take time; like love. You didn't marry your spouse after just a few weeks did you?
Try to cool down, enjoy your life, and if you say you approve of the movement... then enjoy it...we are getting there...we will get there.
I'm open, post a mature disagreement.
Please apply your name to the solution.
I've also came to understand that everyday, there is a new group of people at OWS, some claiming that Obama should be re-elected, and (word for word)that they would vote for a bill that allowed "the IRS to be able to put a gun to someone's head to force them to pay taxes." And i'm sure that they were implying that this would come into effect for the 1%, but what would stop them from doing this to the rest of the people? It just showed that the people retain immaturity, and cannot look at all sides of a situation. But to be honest, I think people are just excited to be out, making a stand. Even though the future is clouded.
Here I go again - probably onto the same deaf ears as before. In my opinion some of you folks need to get out more. Maybe take a walk and smell the flowers.
Do any of you know where the real financial wealth of this country lies and what corporations and companies actually control it. You have blindly sought out a scapegoat or two and lumped a lot of others in with them and identified something you call evil. You are now ready for the sacrifice. You have equated jets, cars, houses with evil and you are ready to pounce. You have made no effort to further your knowledge of what the reality is in this country.
Can you tell us who holds the papers for the most land in this country through financial loans, mortgages, etc. You get rid of your perceived enemy and you will find that what emerges is a "thing" much more powerful and much more wealthy than any big bad bankster could ever have imagined. If you don't know who or what this entity is, you should probably just shut up now and go home.

yeah ....there are a lot of mentally ill in ZP, NYC and Oakland, CA. that's a given plus..... I heard that on Good Morning America
yeah they look like scary deranged nut jobs to me.
yeah.. the OWS crowd seems a wee bit wacked to me. I have been verbally abused by the OWS supporters on this site. Free speech only applies to people who support them...I guess?
