    Exactly. I have no idea what they are trying to accomplish.

    From what I understand, there's a spot down there you can get good vegetarian lunches for cheap.

    So there's that.

    Dunkin Donuts?

  • FWIW I've seen a bunch of different types of folks out there, not just your standard issue anarchist hippies.

    I remember reading about a time back in the 60s when anarchist hippies protested stuff... maybe I'm remembering wrong... there was some good music made?

    ... and they called it "psych rock"?

    it's sad that this is even an issue... cause i'm sure if i walked by a tea party rally, it would be an amazing cross section of america, right?

    and yes, the people i see posting this on facebook are def not just a bunch of crusty margin dwellers...

    yeah keep your opinions for the ballot box!!!!

    Nah....I have no problem with anyone peacefully protesting.

    But let's call it what it is.

    Just like Tea Party members are ignorant, racist white people who are afraid of change and diversity.

    Better than the usual rah rah rah support for "rich" people fucking over the poor and middle class. Maybe if it was shown that government would hold corporations and wall st. to better accountability...

    The only time it was "funny" was when my cousin gave me a perm after one week of beauty school

    You've seen my kids and should know I don't judge people by their looks.

    I thought of your daughter actually after reading your snarky comment. I really don't wish to indict your person over what you said. But what you said was really fucking wack. I mean, how do you suppose they should "stick it to the man"?

    So you're saying these people should be protesting in DC and not Wall Street then, right?

    All I was doing was describing the people there and what they were, in their minds, doing.

    See the below article written by someone who supports the protests....he had basically the same description.

    And I don't think that characterization is "wack".

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________

    The claims that there is a lack of mainstream coverage doesn???t seem to hold water, and could simply be a ploy to encourage even more coverage. The protests have been covered by Reuters, The New York Times, and major networks. Anonymous and Ad Busters are major promoters and loose organizers of the protests but the movement doesn???t appear to be born directly from the groups.

    Are they a mob of over-privileged, unemployed trustafarians? Many of them likely are. Does it matter? Dismiss them if you will, they???re motivated and mobilized. An apathetic population asked to foot the bill for the fallout from credit default swaps is exactly what the 1% ordered. The last few years the country has been told to fear an economic collapse if the masses fail to fork over what amounts to corporate welfare, and more recently, that more jobs will be lost if we close tax loopholes. Many claim that these protesters are anti-capitalist, but most are simply disillusioned by a form of capitalism they suggest is so far out of whack that the opportunity for bootstrap pulling is nearly non-existent. They propose that the current environment unapologetically favors the richest of the rich.

    I absolutely support their right and the basic intent of their protest but when you come off like this it does nothing to further your cause and just further polarizes the issue. Dudes need to know what they're protesting against and understand the underlying issues. That and don't harass working mufuckaz on their way to work.

    Maybe some of them are shapeshifting unicorns too, and that's an even better reason for them to just shut up and submit to injustice.

    shapeshifting unicorns vs shapeshifting lizards
    who wins

    Who asked or suggested they shut up?

    So somehow they've further "polarized" the issue of the uber-rich 1% against the 99% rest of us?

    I mean, even I thought about how some of those armpits must smell and it makes me want to forget how Bush's family made its money cooperating with the Nazi's.
