Do you people have nothing better to do than to try and disrupt the running of wall street? That of course is a rhetorical question as it is apparent the you do not! Why do you feel in nescersery to try and fight a system that (at times ) benefits the masses? You speak as if you speak for the majority of people when in fact you are the 1% who's time is running out as your movement is losing its momentum. You are promoting anarchy and disoray!

Amen. Where do these people get the balls to speak for me and my father and my father's father? None of us agree with these people.

Not here it ain't. Reporting from OccupyEdinburgh, we are getting stronger and stronger. I expect others are also. The protest movement is strong in a lot of places, and you know it. The movement is all over the world. We in Edinburgh are already organizing rallies for well into 2012. If you think this movement is going away, don't bet your Wall Street profits on it at the bookies. Bad bet. You will lose. :)

I'm an 18 year old university student, I don't have wall street profits. But if I can see that this is losing its momentum then you should be able too. The crackdown in wall street today was the first step on the ladder of progress and I hope the response is the same next time.

I would like to draw your attention to 'The Petition'.. to Stop Corruption on Wall Street. It is approved by the #ows Press, and is Circulating in the Camps, and around the World.. After you read it, i would appreciate it.. if you find it a way to get the Corrupt Corporation Goldman Sachs IDICTED... to post it on FB to your Friends.. Getting this the 50K Signatures needed to Wake up the 'Hill' to what HAS to be done!

Not aware of the facts of life? It dosent take a genius to see that what you are trying to do would both economically and politically ruin your country! In fact I would claim tha it is you who is not aware of the facts of life and the fact is capitalism works! Yes there is corruption, and there are issues that need to be addressed. However wouldn't your efforts and time be better spent protesting for a more beneficial cause, such as poverty and the amount of aid sent to third world countries and how current aid is used. Face it there are more pressing matters to adress as it is inevitable that in every society the "fat cats" will get fatter

So, in Edinburgh, are you protesting the money in US politics as well, or is it just an excuse to get the elfties together to protest everything you don't have?

I live in the UK and the reason I posted about this is because of the anti capitalist protestors outside St Paul's, you need to accept that this is what society has become! look at china it is steadily becoming more capitalist which is benefiting both us as consumers and the Chinese people

This thing is a pure left wing movement supported by few. They claim it is nonpartisan, but a simple scan of this forum leaves no doubt where this movement is on the poliical spectrum. It is acually disgusting to see them blatantly lie about what this movement is about, yet so many swallow the Kool-Aid.

The OWS movement is a hindrance to the modern society and would only succeed in disrupting the progress made in developed and developing countries

It's been planned by george soros and his many organizations in collusion with the unions. The usefull idiots that show up are nothing but cannon fodder for them
