The Occupy Wall Street protests

What a bunch of dumbasses. If you put their ears together you could make a tunnel.

 

You may not like the way these guys are protesting, but the message is something we all need to get behind.

The "job creators" run this country. This isn't about the right or left. This is about corruption and corporate greed. You can't honestly be ok with the way this country is being run. We all know that voting won't make a difference. At least someone is actually trying to do something, instead of just criticizing/name calling from a computer.

I can't believe you guys are dismissing this movement(and buying into the propaganda these "job creators" feed us). We need change in the worst way.


And it's not just a bunch of "dumb lazy hippies". Vets,former cops, etc are all a part of this movement. It's just too unorganized and the bias media coverage isn't helping.(media that is owned by the 1% but eh w/e)

So suddenly you have a problem with biased media coverage? Give me a break. These vermin are creating a rathole in the Financial District and are doing nothing to further their "cause". At least you admit that the "1%ers" are the job creators. You might want to pass that little nugget on to Obama.

 

Obama is part of the problem. You know it's a sad day when RON PAUL is one of the best looking candidates out there. Can't even say it out loud to myself.

 

You need to quit reading the liberal media and educate yourself.

 

You sound quite educated yourself... What did I say exactly that resembles the liberal media? I should make it clear that I feel all media is bias and I don't base my opinions off of that.

It takes a middle school education to see what's wrong with the government right now. Our congress is legally bought off(something we learn around 8th grade) and you're against people who wanna see that changed. Fellow citizens at that.


What's your opinion on the current state of america? Are you just praying for a republican to come and fix everything?

 

The deficit is equal to the GDP. Translation: America is broke. What are we doing about it? A committee of politicians is trying to agree on $120B dollars in cuts per year for 10 years to reduce a $15 Trillion dollar deficit. Can you say spit in the ocean? And they won't even agree on that.

The occupiers are trying to bring attention to the fact that the rich are rich and the poor are poor. I already knew that. They are wrongly trying to equate the two. That's ridiculous. All they are doing is showing why they are poor. If they put that initiative and effort into looking to pull themselves out of poverty, that would be progress.

We need people in congress who will admit there is a problem and do the difficult things necessary to fix it. That means cuts...everywhere. No sacred cows. A few millionaires paying more in taxes won't even dent the revenue stream. It's all about making Obama look like he's doing something. He's just trying to keep his job.

 

Politicians are puppets and we all know that.

It's not just about the rich paying more taxes, it's their attempt at a peaceful revolution. The current system is beyond failing and there are no good ideas on how to fix it. No one in congress will ever admit there is a problem because they're being paid off legally, only a fool would dare ruin such a sweet gig.

Occupiers are not mad because they're jobless and the rich stay rich, they're mad because big corporations run this damn country and no one in office seems to give a damn about any of us, left or right.

Pizza is now a vegetable. You can "lobby" for whatever you damn please if you have the cash.



SOPA’s ugly message to the world about America and internet Innovation - Ideas@Innovations - The Washington Post

You can't honestly tell me that isn't alarming. Of course they say it's to stop pirating but they'll have the ability to ban/filter whatever they damn please(as if there isn't enough filtering already).

Out of curiosity(and respect given your last post). What are your views on the patriot act?

 

It sounds like you are waiting for someone else to do for you instead of you doing for yourself.
