I don't find this funny. occupy wall street is a very serious thing. These people are putting their lives on the line trying to save the country and people like you are both too lazy and just dumb.

No, it is a serious thing... its just people dismiss it as a joke because they are told to by the media, and america continues to spiral down the road towards a big steaming pile of shit.

they're doing this for you and every other red blooded american even if you're not thankful. America has been over run with corporate greed. They're trying to save the country before it gets destroyed. this will be a moment in history we will look back on and thank these people for saving our country.

Everyone who views money as an idol, which is the 99% and then the 1% are the worst people in the world. Live your life not tied down.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. Being part of the OWS movement does not in anyway, shape, or form involve putting your life on the line. Nor does it involve saving this country (but that is a point of view).

Less then a week ago, on Oct 22nd. 1LT Ashley White, 24 (CST), SFC Kristoffer B. Domeij, 29 (2/75), and PFC Christopher A. Horns, 20 (2/75) were killed in Afghanistan.

It is down right insulting to even suggest that people participating in OWS are putting their lives on the line when Americans are actually getting in fire fights every day for this country, the the principles it stands for.

This ^ unless your part of the super-super rich Occupy Wallstreet is involved in making things better for all. AGAIN it is not a protest against retail so people bitching that they have iphones and whatnot are oblivious to the point of OWS. It is so the super/mega rich stop getting richer on our tax paying dime.I agree it's not fair for the rich to have their money redistributed- BUT it is fair for us to block their outrageous means by which they blatantly acquire more and more money and hoard it for themselves.
I think the unrealistic logic of OWS is "if the banks can get bailed out, why can't we?" OWS for sure has it's heart in the right place and is a snowball falling downhill...

It's capitalism dumbass. America has some of the lowest corporate greed in the world by the way, compare us to most countries where the money lies with the powerful elite a.k.a the rulers of that country. America is a great place the "99%'ers" in wallstreet bitching about how they need hand outs and how they're unemployed need to go get themselves employed instead of hanging out complaining to people who don't give a fuck. CAPITALISM, it's really a fucking great thing, wuit asking for handouts life's tough you have to work hard to live well and bitching doesn't get you anywhere. ALSOOOO...

No I'm not slow. I challenge you to think about your country and the changes you want to see. You don't think america is worth fighting for. It's not just fighting for america in the military, it's at home too.

BECAUSE THEY FUCKING GENERATE MONEY WHEN THEY ARE HEALTHY!


fucking ignorant hippies not know shit about economics and going off of emotions. I do completely agree that they should pay heavier taxes since they do generate heavier income but stop it with the bullshit about bailouts!

On an other note, I have started off being on the peoples side about the protests and everything but now that I looked into it a bit more, I realise its a bunch of no job fucking loser hippies that constitute the vast majority of the crowd. (they havnt been to work in 2 weeks, they were camping on a street) this fucking infuriates me and makes me hate their cause.


How it apears: a bunch of no job bums that are complaining that they dont get enough money and how the rich should give it to them. its a harsh generalisation but this is the image they are giving off.

Alot of them can't find a job and are intelligent college grads who worked their asses off to go to college. If you include under-employment the jobless rate in this country is almost around 20%. They aren't all hippies if you youtubed around you could see that come very mature people are protesting. Fox news is not a proper source of information( nor is msnbc or cnn for that matter..).

A whole bunch of people with no idea how to fix what is wrong.

Maybe instead of sitting in a fucking park, all those protestors could put their pot filled heads together and come up with a solution, then force that solution onto Wallstreet or whoever, rather than sitting and yelling with a fucking sign in their hand

The changes the OWS crowd wants to see and the changes I want to see generally don't line up with each other.

Then how are we supposed to get the message out? The new networks are owned by the corporations. We need to say " this is enough!" and take a stand for freedom.

I've had a job before, I'm not worthless as you make it seem. Hopefully everyone can stay safe out there.
I hope all the protesters will stay strong and not back down. It takes a lot of courage to just leave everything and go fight. I wouldn't expect some of you to understand.

Im sorry but I would give a single job to most of the people I saw in those videos. A lot of them are fucking immature and act like potheads. they are the same type as people I know who would go to an interview dressed in fucking slob clothing like a hippie and get pissed off they didnt get the job.

Example of immaturity: some girl on youtube protesting shirtless. gets asked to put a shirt on and she sais she doesnt have to and goes on immaturely about how its her right... bla... bla... bla. first off its not her right, its public undecency, secondly her whole argument about how she cant afford a shirt is laughable and fucking immature.

Like I said, I was all for the cause until I saw these dickheads on youtube.

How about you articulate the changes you are talking about.  Is it free healthcare, college education, and unemployment benefits for two years?  What is this all about?  Please inform me and the rest of the entire world, because the people protesting don't even know what the fuck they are protesting for.  They know what they are protesting, I am not questioning that, but they don't have an overall goal.  So enlighten me, please.
