I'm sure OWS would be willing to supply workers for you, if you treated your employees fairly which is in principle a biblical mandate "Do not take advantage of a hired man who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother Israelite or an alien living in one of your towns." resorts to crime. The Bible condemns the dishonest rich more than the desperate poor for stealing. "People don't despise a thief if he steals food when he is hungry� " (Proverbs 6:30). But the prophet Micah thundered, Listen, you people who assemble in the city! In the houses of evil men are treasure which they got dishonesty. They use false measures, a thing I hate. How can I forgive men who use false scales and weights? Your rich men exploit the poor, and all of you are liars. So I have already begun your ruin and destruction because of your sins" (Micah 6:9-13). Now I'm not saying your rich man, but there are those who need work and it is important on your part to be compassionate and understanding, looking at the needs of your neighbor and helping them. Are there things which you can do to make those who live in America better, can you find the good in those who are trying to find out ways to help all Americans. Talking civily might be a better choice anyway hopefully the differences you have with OWS may change with time and looking at the issues involved. Have a great tommorow.

Hell no, occupiers obviously have no work ethic... besides it was just a troll to strike up convo with someone. So im guessing you think people should be forced to hire everyone?

Well I didn't say that quite right, what I meant is can you help OWS members find work and help them with situations. Obviously some OWS members are protesting and feel that a message needs to be get out. Others are between jobs and need help. There are many homeless and poor among them, that need opportunities and work skills. I didn't mean to sound mean, but I guess we all do from time to time.

Oh well, at least you have some sense and quote very respectable books like the bible! All these occupiers will argue with me and wind up just calling me names and such.

Alot do, probably the main reason OWS is not getting traction as they should to be quite honest. Something needs to be done. OWS has a fervancy for action and there has been definite political and economic corruption at the highest levels which have hurt many people. The decisions alot Americans have been making lately have exposed them to this, Most people don't have the sophistication to know what is going on and avoid buying into the consumer debt/mortgate debt. But I don't think it is entirely the average Americans fault, those at the highest levels at banks and financial institutions made unethical choices which really hurt America.

I agree... and some actions are needed I'm sure to ensure the safety of America. But I want OWS to be more careful in protecting civil liberties. So many OWS followers want strict government control, which is a bad idea. I'm sure there are some very small laws and loopholes that could be fixed to prevent these rare instances of insane greed leading to problems. I just do not want ANYONE's civil liberties disrupted.

There is PLENTY of work around. I currently have two jobs. applied for at least 8, heard back from 5. Going to wall street and complaining is not going to get them jobs any faster, and it does not earn my respect. My grandfather worked 2 full time and 1 part time job, while going full time to Texas A&M AND raising a wife and two kids. He did what NEEDed to be done, and did not expect a handout. That is all I am saying.
