Hello Occupy Wall Street. just wanting to say that we College students are behind you guys %1000. Even though we can't be there in person we would like to tell you that we are right there with you fighting hard to ensure that when we are released into the world that we will fix the mistakes so many generations have made.
Flash Protest your University, bring the movement to your own city streets. People will march with you, but you are going to have to walk. Dress warm, be safe, be peaceful. The silent majority needs all of us to shepherd the message. Thanks for the support, we are ALL the 99%.
Same thing from San Francisco!

You will NEVER cause the change I believe you are trying to affect unless you define your premise in ways that everyone can support you and in a way that revolutionary change can occur. Tackle TRUE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM. Demand laws that state that a politician CANNOT accept or spend ANY contribution that does not come from a citizen that he or she would represent. Even push for a Constitutional Amendment. Everyone would join you on this.
The things you speak of, and a number of others, are already in the works. It will just take a little more time to get it all ironed out. This forum is merely for all of us to have discussions and debate. Most people on this site are unaware that real progress is being made behind the scenes.
unfortunately many are not ready to do whats necessary before things get out of hand. We have unfortunately always been a reactionary society. Only waiting until the damage is dealt. To escape the mistakes of the past we must change. Or will we always be fated to repeat history and make mockery of our accomplishments. Humans have always been fooled into believing in the status-qua until it is too late. I wish not to wait until are chance to change without repercussions is only a fleeting dream.
Well fail the only one here who is failing is you here. Unlike you who works because of your lack of good grades in highschool I am already fully paid do to the fact that I have gotten enough scholarships to fully pay my 37,869.35 per year tuition for all four years. Yes that means not the state ran establishments but a good Private Liberal arts Colllege.
Sure buddy, whatever you say. Anyone can be successful over the internet. So than about 80% of the US's total college student foundation must be stupid if they don't have a scholarship? and must be fail?
Good job there.
no... but how you are responding shows what level you are.
Hey man, your bragging about your scholarships and putting it out there and your really awsome school, so you should stick with your statement. You basically said "Unlike you who works becuase of your lack of good grades in highschool I am already fully paid do to the fact that I have gotten enough scholarships to fully pay my 37,869.35 per year tuition for all four years."
So than why are college students, who are in debt, with OWS? Why cant they get the same sick deal you have despite having bad grades? Why cant you both split the money equally between someone with bad grades and someone with good grades? Hmmm?
Paradox?
because in reality not everyone can go to college. That's how unfortunately how are system is based upon. You forget one of the reasons we are marching is the fact that we want a more equal system. Why you are standing and complaining about the movement why not try to change the world. That's why we are all here. Even if not all of us can march together physically we are still there in spirit. If you are so angry about the system instead of typing messages against the validity of a social movement on their website you should be trying to help something you support. Instead of making yourself look like an idiot (which I'm sure your not) at least try to make yourself useful.

-I feel my help can be placed here, Im sick of people complaining and crying and coming up with dumb ideas. Like Occupy Black Friday, idk about you, but I would like to finally purchase for myself a 40 inch HDTV instead of the crappy 20 inch 1990's TV I have.

It's that idea of materialism that brings so many problems. Why do you need a 40 inch screen HDTV. if your 20 inch still works fine? Still so young you are. Like it or not the world is changing and we mus change with it. Our ignorance to what matters in this world is replaced with self fulfillment. A selfish cause indeed. For change we must stand for are rights not as Americans but as human beings. These little instances you call stupid is what causes this change. Please look at the broader picture instead of selfish wants.

WAIT! But people everywhere want cheap iPods and iPhones and Macs and PC's and Games! Even people with OWS! The world is materialistic, this movement and the arab spring would not have been successful without the material that provided the channels, ie. Facebook/Twitter, Computers, TV's, Radios, Cell Phones, etc. Materialistic is also money, Im pretty sure this movement has alot to do with money.
I am looking at the broader picture, if OWS tries to incite revolutions in cities, people will die, get injured and the US will be screwed as a whole, whose to say that wont leave us vulnerable? Conspiracy or w/e you want to call it, thats the broader picture I see.
Vulnerable to what? Terrorism? People forget in the end all people no matter where or when wants the same thing in life. I have done my share of traveling and have seen that with my own eyes.
Vulnerable is vulnerable, Idk about you, but I enjoy not waking up to gunfire, or a bomb or having an AK in my face.
That is unfortunately how the world is, Revolution is often dyed red in blood. Yet we still believe we can do this peacefully. If we fight and work together in peace we can avoid unnecessary bloodshed.
Some of us appreciate what you are saying. You made the mistake of letting an obvious troll bait you into an argument. Look at his username, does that look like a genuine supporter? Ignore him and the multitude of others you'll find here. Good luck in school and please spread the word about what OWS is trying to accomplish, which is to fix the many problems in this country so you and your eventual children can grow up in a better place than us older folks are forced to live in now.
Thank you Gnomunny. It seems though my plan worked. I think I just out trolled a troll. :)
Heh heh heh. Good comeback! Keep up the good work, on this board as well as 'out in the wild.'
No, I actually went to bed for an exam I had. You cant troll a troll. Good try though.
So I guess that means your saying you are a troll then.
LOL "college students are behind you guys"
Literally, WAYYYY Behind
You have to be kidding me, Im in college, and I dont even support this garbage. Hey, sheltered college student, do you know that I am paying off my loans with a JOB, a Jay Oh Bee, you know, the thing you dont have cause your mommy and daddy are paying for your school most likely? Get a life kid. Stop toking and start working.
you're a tasteless, discourteous, immature fool. Probably not even a college student. Oh wait, maybe an online college.
Oh, by the way, no one pays off their college loans during their college years. They're deferred.
Busted!!! LOL
Another one for the OWS books. Idk about you, but my parents are not paying anything, and I dont know how long it will be before I have another job. Ever heard of early payments kid? No, becuase your parents pay for everything, including your weed. I am a college student, I dont have to prove anything. You on the other hand, just proved your an idiot.
online college for sure. I put myself through college before you were born; then I helped two daughters through college, and I was proud to help them financially as much as I could. and you are making no sense whatsoever: in your first post you say you have a job, and in your next post you say you don't know when you'll have another job.
You're right, though. you don't have to prove anything. Your inanity speaks for itself. No wonder your parents aren't helping you out financially.
Oh right, because my $40K Bachelors degree will be perfect for my $8.50/hr retail job. And I will always want to work in retail, like yourself, where I cannot go up or down.
I hope you reflect on this and realize you make no sense and look like an A-hole
you win, pal. I can't keep up with your brilliance.
That's not true. You can have payments applied while you are in school. You also avoid interest this way. http://collegesavings.about.com/od/financialaid/a/repayingloans.htm
I didn't do this with mine, but I know others who have.
I commend you for maturing earlier than most around you.
