Can anyone answer every point?
On the 17th you people did nothing, I watched the ustream for hours at 9am you people said "we have delayed the opening bell of the NYSE" you idiots did not even know that the market opened at 9:30AM?? Also while watching the stream I saw when kids and parents were trying to squeeze through the crowd to get to school and you people would not even give the kids a break...
I also saw people trying to get to work on time and you people chasting them for who they work for...Or atleast who you thought they work for..
I have also watched un-edited videos of you "peaceful protesters" throwing punches at cops, rushing cops and doing other things that are far from peaceful...
On the news section of this site you people are calling for a shutdown of california ports.. I thought you people were for jobs!? What about lost pay? Oh yeah those are union jobs...
You people call for student loan forgiveness, If you sign a contract and borrow money do you think you should not have to pay it back?
You people bitch and moan about fourclosure.. But you not think it is stupid to get into a mortgage you cannot pay for in the long run?
Most of you are the same people who protested bush for eight years.. Why do you refuse to, on a large scale basis protest obama and his lies??
Seems more like "Epic Thread Fail"
Epic. You're trying way too hard to stereotype an entire movement by it's flaws. Our methods aren't perfect. But our cause is just.
Reality check:
How do you feel about Wall Street in general? Predatory lending? The greatest concentration of wealth in world history? Unemployment? Deindustrialization? Tax breaks and subsidies for big business? Bailouts?
Are you willing to acknowledge a single valid point made by OWS?
If so, please don't tell us to blame the government exclusively. That's way too much of a copout.
Why epic?
all i know is, some of the portland oregon protesters we're rude to me because of the way i dressed, when the original script was "everyone is welcome". don't know how many of the protesters are like this though.
hump. becuase you cant bump
Haha look around no one failed except the banks who seem un able to stop failing
