I just read some of the things in blue letters on the previous page. There were some awful, hurtful, hostile, disgusting things said. Is this what OWS is about? People keep saying it's peaceful but the stuff I've read here is violent.
If you look at who's saying what, you'll see that it is the largely uninformed sycophants of the 1% who are saying the nasty stuff. OWS is a peaceful movement. And that is exactly why those opposed to OWS are becoming so violent. And etc. . . .
What are the 1% saying? It seems to me they aren't saying anything. I see news sources and youtube - but non of those people are the 1%. right?
Honestly most of the violent things I've heard have been against OWS. I've had a lot of people say they wanted to kill me. A lot of conservatives saying that they wish they had their guns.
I'm conservative, I guess, but why would someone say that to you just because they are conservative. I think it just means they are evil. Trying to figure out his OWS stuff. Can't tell much of anything from youtube and news. It's all so one sided. Most people I know would be considered conservative and most go around helping people. Like literally giving time, money, and volunteering doing really hard labor for people in need.
They didn't threaten me because they were conservative. They were just conservative and said that. But they did. Not the last time I'm sure.
Is the point of the OWS to make the stock market crash? Or how exactly will OWS cause good changes?
I hope that helps you? I'm glad you're genuinely interested instead of automatically on the attack.
No. The protests are against Wall Street because their money has taken over our government and the financial instruments that made them rich crashed our country. Right now it's mostly about bringing attention to the problem of income inequality and crony capitalism (not capitalism necessarily but the nepotistic way it is currently practiced) but the movement is figuring out where to go next.
It's not peaceful. There are some peaceful people involved, but too many just want to get violent.
Yes, OWS is a disgusting movement. Extremely misguided, but disgusting too.

i made one of these gun comments earlier in response to someone saying that there would be a violent revolution. i just wanted to clarify, i would not tolerate a violent revolution. piece all the way, change the world with your vote like your supposed to. if you want to change the system then get people to turn out to vote. the voter turn out in this country is abysmal
Welcome to the radical left. Welcome to Obamaville.
YES WE CAN
The violence will increase. I predict OWSers will start rioting, flipping cars over and generally going ballistic soon. We need to it happen soon do the police can start shooting them.
This is kind of the thing I was just talking about.
You want to piss, crap on and block OUR sidewalks, take away our public parks, stop people from going to work, make businesses lose money and some people lose jobs, throw molotov cocktails at Macys (there were a lot of people high fiving that guy), stop the subways and bridge traffic.
If I could, I drag you behind my car around the city, asshole.
May you one day become free of your all-consuming hatred, "StopOWS".
ALL forms of hatred are the expression of a subconscious SELF-HATRED, so you do need to look into that and begin a healing journey.
OK will do.
