Right on.

If blocking the stock exchange is wrong, I don't want to be right.

It's not wrong, it's just pointless.

It's not wrong! Now just make sure that you don't buy from them! Case in point!

Wal-Mart is on the NYSE. If you are going to blockade them today, then make a pledge NOT TO BUY FROM THEM on Black Friday! It would be hypocritical to blockade them now and then not hit em where it hurts...in the wallet! Occupy Black Friday and boycott Wal-Mart!

The Greater Success will come over TIME. You see, the whole economic success of Wall Street and the wealthiest is predicated on STAYING POWER. If the many continue over a 25 year Plus period of time to work together including business owners, see www.bypasswallstreet.com our success will override current infrastructures.

Naa dude, I don't think Wal Mart has anything to worry about. Everybody is thumbs downing my comments because Occupy Black Friday actually means giving something up. LOL

So what you're saying is you plan to increase the cost of life for the 99%. Yeah,you really represent us don't you? All OWS represents is its own selfish wants and the hell with the people.

Did you not see the smiley you moron?!

Good job with the blockade, now you just punched the rest of the 99% in the stomach. Idiots.

[-] 2 points by TheScreamingHead (239) 12 years ago

How so? What good does it do to blockade the same stores you are buying from? To have a real impact you have to stop spending! The blockade didn't stop trade on the market! But Stop Black Friday can show real economic solidarity which is much more important. Idiot

NOBODY'S gonna lose their job over the Occupy Black Friday protest. NOBODY. Don't let ppl tell you otherwise. But it will have a REAL impact. Money talks!
