Wow, you really think your doing something great. So much drive, too bad it's not directed toward something productive. Imagine if all the donations in all there forms, all the supplies, planning, and networking was directed towards a cause that actually helped people in real need. Nope, redirect it all so you can have a protest. Sad really. Have fun kids, someday you'll grow up and be responsible.

I was walking around the park today and saw people with signs protesting approximately 20 different things. How about you come unified and get 1 clear message. Seems like everyone there has their own agenda. One person says we want capitalism gone and socialism installed. The other says that capitalism is the way to go. Then the other says that we need communism.

The age of the cynical, apathetic, and hopeless is OVER! Look at where 30+ years of that mentality has gotten us... regurgitating this same brittle argument against such a noble cause is truly despicable. I'm really hoping you're just trolling, because if you're really this condescending and blind to the nature of our reality, I can only pity you. Your last sentence can pretty much translate to: someday you'll run out of time and energy and be a passive doormat. Well not this generation, dammit. We're taking a stand and we would gladly welcome your support, so long as you believe it still has any worth.

I wish all the protesters the best,,AND DON'T Give UP !!!

One note: Fox Business News, CNBC, etc.....are making it seem don't have a focus for what you are protesting for.......Make a list of main points ( To Big To Fail, Foreclosures, No opportunities Due to Wall Street and the Big Banks, etc) Stick to a list and focus,,,,cause the news media is chewing this up as if you are a bunch of laid off, or jobless kids, WE Know this is not the case, and wish I could be there with you guys)

Focus and keep to the Points to convey the message, and change will come !

Keep it up !!!

We need a way to vote/flag/ridicule posts off the board,. at least so they get smaller and at some point invisible unless you dig for them.

Hi there, I think you need to see the big picture before you express any opinion: http://stpeteforpeace.org/uprisings.html http://15october.net/ http://marchestobrussels.takethesquare.net/

We are of course having fun while we re-conquire the world
