Here might be an OWS agenda:

4:30 pm -- breakfast

5:00 – 6:00pm – Live music From "F*ck The USA"

6:00 – 7:30pm – Chant incoherent statements

7:30 - 8:00 pm -- sh*t on police cars

8:00 - 9:00 pm -- organize tomorrow's anti-capitalism rally using electronic gadgets given by capitalism

9:00 pm on - Sex, drugs, dirty up the city

I was going to just let this slide, but do either of you have an actual point that has to do with my answer to the question? Or would you rather just bash OWS instead?

I'm not even defending OWS, but simply stating that the Tea Party got services for the money they paid.
Without paying the money they could not have had the rally they did.

Anthony, I don't really understand your point. Both occupied the same ground; one was charged and one wasn't.

As we know, there is organization.

It's prejudice. You don't have to be black or white, hispanic or chinese, christian or muslim to feel prejudice. In this case it's political prejudice and that is why the main stream media aligns themselves with OWS instead of Tea Party. They are prejudice towards the Tea Party. They don't like them because of what they stand for, nothing more and nothing less.

>>Anthony, I don't really understand your point. Both occupied the same ground; one was charged and one wasn't.

You don't think the Tea Party would have been able to just have everybody show up there without having to pay? They could have easily did that just like OWS did. Then they would have had a much different rally. By securing the park with payment, they were able to get a better rally organized and have the events that they had there. Had they not paid, the police would have showed up to 'observe' such a large crowd but left them alone since they disperse within the same day.

>>It's prejudice. You don't have to be black or white, hispanic or chinese, christian or muslim to feel prejudice. In this case it's political prejudice...

I have not said one negative thing against the Tea Party in this thread. Everyone has prejudice (to pre-judge). I have an prejudice for the Tea Party as I have an equal but different prejudice for the OWS crowd. I understand where they both are coming from but I support neither of them as they are both representing the more stronger sides of their parties, which I belong to neither party since I am Independent.

I'm just stating facts of the question that was asked to support my answer.

First, the Tea Party follows the law. Second, had they acted like these OWS nuts, they would have been kicked, arrested out a long time ago.

Destroy stimulus grass? Poop on cars? Sing nasty songs about their own country?

Glenn Beck is off now. He was the most balanced.

This one is for you Beetos: the only news organization that is fair and balanced is, well, Fox News. They are always breaking news where the other news media are following their lead because they eventually will have to carry the story. How many times on MSNBC has any of them reported on Solyndra, and how soon after the fact did they have to report on it, even if they did. They were forced to report on Acorn, Fast and Furious, and Solyndra only because Fox picked up on it first. If it wasn't for Fox they wouldn't run the story.

Fox "breaks" a story by casting allegations on their "opinion" shows, which then show up in there news shows with "Some people are saying..." when we all know the one saying it is Roger Ailes.

I saw Solyndra reported on every news channel. They may not trumpet it every hour for days on end because they're not propaganda stations like Fox News. I've said before there should be a thorough investigation and any wrong found should lead to someone being held accountable. But I think it's a case of a company failing, and not the huge corruption deal you think it is. Let's see what the facts are.

Other news organizations will usually wait until they verify the facts before reporting. For Fox, an insinuation is enough. All of Okeefe's videos were heavily doctored and blatant lies. Acorn was put out of business under false pretenses; the full video showed that. Did Fox ever do a retraction?

Climategate is another non-scandal. After months of blabbing about climategate as evidence that global warming is a hoax on Fox news, an independent study founded by the Koch brothers no less, verified that not only weren't the scientists guilty of what they were being accused of, but that global warming is in fact real and a threat. Fox news retraction???? No. Reporting on the results of that report?? Crickets.

Exactly Cars,

What the scientists have been saying for years now is that global warming will lead to climate change such that we will see extremes in weather conditions, like the flooding of the east coast that we saw this year, the dust storms and wildfires in Texas, and now this blizzard extremely early in the season.

So yes, we should tell the good people of Connecticut that global warming will lead to winter storms and big blizzards earlier in the year, just like the reports and scientists have been saying. Glad we could agree on that.

ASKER

>>So yes, we should tell the good people of Connecticut that global warming will lead to winter storms

So what you're saying is that we have global warming b/c the East Anglia scientists distorted their research and tried to pass off fake science? And b/c of that we're having a snow storm this weekend?

No we have global warming because the weather changes.....see 65 millon years ago when the world was ruled by dinosaurs, we had no weather change, it was sunny and 65 all the time.

This group demonizes an economic philosophy that made the US the greatest nation on the earth in a relatively short time. This they do using tools that would not have been invented had there been no capitalism.

I think it's funny they have applied for c copyright on OWS and Occupy Wall Street. Now why would these people need a copyright? They said they plan on selling shirts, coffee mugs and anything else they can sell. Capitalism at it's finest.

I think your description in that paragraph fits well. They are frustrated with the system and want to change it, but have no real idea how to do so because they are not educated enough on how things have to work.

You seem to think I support them. I never stated that. I understand why they are doing what they are doing, but they have no idea what outcome they want and aren't going to accomplish anything. I just don't agree with your bashing of them all the time.

Agree 100% this is a hypocritical move and stupid of them for doing it. But they wont anyway as they aren't organized enough to pull it off and then will fight about the income if they make any.

Capitalism is set up the way it is because it works. Them wanting to sell t-shirts shows it is a good working system. The problem is when there are billionaires while people starve. But in most cases since beginning of humanity this has been the case. I'm hardly rich but I strive to get closer to it every day. I understand their frustration of the imbalance, but it is just the way capitalism works. If everyone was rich, nobody would be providing the lesser services.

It is much more complicated than OWS makes it out to be, and also those that condemn them.

Have you seen the interviews? They don't even know why they're there. This is the next generation, and that really scares me; just look at the shape liberals have put the country in now.

The OWS remind me of the "walkers" on the AMC show "The Walking Dead." I say that but think the "walkers" have more intelligence.

Look at interviews from non-News Corp sources Cars, and maybe you'll get a different perspective.

>>They don't even know why they're there.

They don't know what specifically they are there for or what they want. They all know they are there because they are frustrated with "the system" though. A lot of them just can't articulate it or specify any of it. And none of them (or us) know how to change it.

They have this Utopian idea in their head where nobody is poor, but that isn't reality. Never was and never will be. Doesn't mean though that if you are poor for long, it doesn't get frustrating to see those that are rich. Then you want to do something about it, but don't know what to do, so you go do the protest thing of the 60s. Social media allowed it to grow and come together, but there still isn't anything they can do about the situation.

The majority really aren't bad people. Just frustrated and without real guidance.

Who's lazier,

People sitting at home watching their favorite "news" program and shaking their fist at everybody from their own couch, or the protesters who've camped out over a month now to make their point?

There's a big misconception about the OWS in this thread: They don't think everyone should be rich, they don't think no one should be rich; they don't think no one should be poor. What they're saying is that financial influence in politics has changed the rules we all live by to favor those who already have wealth, while shifting most of the burden on to those who don't. The evidence of this is the radical transfer of wealth to the top 1% that we've seen over the last few decades.

You can keep ignoring that point, as you've been, and keep deriding the protesters as you wish. They may never have concrete goals, and if they do, they may never reach them, but they've already changed the conversation to the point where even Republicans are talking about income discrepancy. No doubt, they will have some influence on the next election.

You'd think they'd be too lazy to rape, but apparently not.

So a few hundred of the bottom section of OWS got arrested. Majority for trespassing or assault or the usual stuff that happens outside a bar on a weekend night. Then there are the few real lowlifes as well which we already discussed.

There are hundreds of thousands of people involved in this movement though.

I hardly think you can classify the whole movement as nothing but lowlifes and rapists and thieves.

My statement was "It could have been 5 or 50."

Your statement was: "Thousands of OWS perverts, oops, happened again, I mean protesters, get tested for STDs."

My statement is a guess as to what might have happened with no misleading information or fact stated and therefore cannot be designated as wrong or misrepresenting the argument.

Your statement is stated as a straight fact that was completely made up out of thin air. Unless you have any other possible justification, it appears as if it was made up to make the entirety of the OWS seem like they needed STD testing to strengthen your weak argument.

Since there is no knowledge of the number that got the STD testing and the article never mentions any number, you fabricated it completely as there is nothing in the article that makes it even "seem" that there were a lot of people that went for STD testing.

I think your real beef is that there is so much negative, illicit acts with OWS protesters to the point you can't get over it, so you attack the amount of people getting tested as opposed to the possible social issue that is coming out of what they are doing. Can you imagine if at a Tea Party rally protesters started having sex, public masterbation, peeing everywhere, pooping every where, causing riots and confrontation with police, rapes, to name but a few things that are going on at OWS? You would be bugged about this and nothing else. I would be bugged about it also. But none of these things happened at Tea Party rallies, but they are happening at OWS protests.

>>Who would have guessed they would paint the protesters in a negative way?

A turd can only be polished so much.

That's why I said polls rock....hello Beetos, I thought you would get that. I understand the frustration, life is hard and in many cases unfair, just ask Steve Jobs. IMO the most fair way to pass out resources is based on a person's contribution and even that's not always fair. You know what I don't get, is why someone can't be for the OWS and Tea Party. But to run down the TP where there was not a single arrest and there were several websites set up to get people to go to the TP's and act like fools to discredit them, people still have a bad impression of them, yet you have the OWS where scores of people have been arrested, you've had people raped and etc......yet people defend it. I will say this, I think this shows Obama will not win re-election. These are the people that put him in the white house and I think they are pissed off.

Beetos, why was AR's polls more believable than mine? Because they said what you wanted to hear?

The poll you cited was conducted by a writer at the WSJ for his opinion piece. That's very likely to have a bias. Kind of like a Fox "News" poll.

Beetos, do you have a reputable source for news? Besides of course CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, BBC, NYT, to name but a few because these sources are all bias favoring the left. That's why you don't hear anything credible from them because they don't have any news to begin with.

There's a perception in the conservative world that all news sources that don't have a conservative bias are biased to the left. They also believe these same biased news organizations aren't biased at all, are even handed, yet they defend them by saying they're a counter to the "left wing bias of the mainstream". Yes, I know, it's nonsensical.

Aside from MSNBC, I don't think your accusation holds water.
I'm not familiar with BBC reporting, so I can't comment on them.

Beetos, name a news organization that covered Obama and his radical ties the way Cain is being covered?

No news org's covered Obama's radical ties because they are BS - just guilt by association and conjecture.

Fox News covered them constantly, but they are more like a right wing propaganda machine than a news org.

How did the news organizations treat Clinton? How did they treat John Edwards? Anthony Weiner?

All televised media seems to love a sex scandal, the same way all weathermen love a snow storm.

Do you think Cain is being unfairly targeted? Is it made up?

For the record, I think harassment laws are way overprotective. I would not judge Cain on this issue without knowing the facts. However, I don't think he's doing a good job of defending himself. In fact, I think there are other shoes that are going to drop. Either way, I doubt if he'll be the Republican nominee.

ASKER

>>How did they treat John Edwards?

I believe the media sat on the John Edwards story for months. And with Edwards they had details. Cain they have nothing.

>>Do you think Cain is being unfairly targeted?

No. I just with the media would give the same treatment to Democrats. Grossly biased.

>>There's a perception in the conservative world that all news sources that don't have a conservative bias are biased to the left.

There is no perception here. It is a fact. Now we can go on and on on how Obama got elected through the help of the media, but to entertain you here is a small list of what the media didn't cover until Fox news reported on first. For the most part, once again it was Fox who broke the story and then the other news organizations reluctantly followed suit. Even after Fox covered it they still failed to report on it.

Obama and Bill Ayers relationship
Obama and Rev Right relationship
Obama's family history, muslim father, birth place, and birth certificate
The full implications of the health care law
Acorn
Black Panters
Fast and Furious
Solyndra
Full coverage of "Joe the Plumber" after he asked Obama a simple question about his tax plan
Full attack on Sarah Palin and her family

Most of the news about Obama and all things mentioned above you get it from Fox or talk radio. You wouldn't get any of it from any of the other news organizations, so if it weren't for Fox most people would be walking around ill-informed about what is actually going on in the realm of politics. You wouldn't know anything about Acorn, Fast and Furious, or Solyndra. Solyndra would even be mentioned. You would be thinking Obama is doing a great job as President and that he needs to be elected again in 2012.

ASKER

Tlingit,

That's precisely why Beetos doesn't like Fox. He wants silence on anything negative towards Democrats and liberals. He gets that from all the other networks.

That's great Tling,

Not only are conservatives victims, conservative news organizations are as well?

Of course Obama couldn't get elected on his platform, it took a widespread conspiracy of media organizations coupled with voter fraud. Luckily, the Republicans are working on implementing lots of voter laws to thwart democratic voters from voting again, as well as redistricting things in their favor. Because we need fair and balanced elections. Right?

Acorn?? ACORN?

That's a great example - a right wing conservative smear campaign against a community group using a heavily edited videotape. The full version of the tape showed the exact opposite of the accusations. It was a clear hit job, but the damage was done thanks to FOX NEWS!!!

Joe the Plumer - even the executives at Fox News didn't believe the public would swallow the "redistribution of wealth" meme, but they did.

What about the double date of Greta and Sean with the Palins? Fair and balanced?

Obama's birth certificate? Ok, we're done. No need to go into anything else.

ASKER

>>Of course Obama couldn't get elected on his platform, it took a widespread conspiracy of media organizations coupled with voter fraud.

Obama got elected on his many years of experience as a community organizer, voting "present" in the Illinois senate, sitting 20 years in a hate filled church, 1 year in the Senate, and talk on how he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry.

Nice Cars, so you admit that he was elected? You admit that he actually won the office of President of the United States? Are you actually giving him credit for an accomplishment?

>>Are you actually giving him credit for an accomplishment?

Why, are you looking for at least one accomplishment by this president? It's pretty hard to come by these days.

ASKER

>>Are you actually giving him credit for an accomplishment?

I certainly give him credit for this:

1. $14,993,709,044,140.78 in debt
2. 15% of the US on food stamps
3. 9.1% unemployment
4. Average duration of unemployment is 40.5 weeks, which has more than doubled from three years ago

I wouldn't expect anything else from a community organizer president.

Ah yes,

Debt that began before he was born, never mind elected President, is his fault.

As is the global financial crisis and our recession that all started before he was President.

I wouldn't expect anything else from a partisan hack.

If you ignore them singing "F*ck the USA," publicly masturbating, pooping on police cars, attacking vendors with blood and urine, or destroying property, these people are outstanding citizens.

I took a walk there yesterday during lunch. This is what I took away:

1. What a bunch of losers. Most of these guys are professional protesters.
2. Its a great tourist attraction.

Professional protesters? What does that even mean?

Where did you go that you were able to determine the composition of the entire movement? NY? DC? Atlanta? Oakland?

3/4th's of Americans believe that the laws favor a very small, wealthy segment of the population. As you're listening to the talking heads, see how many times you hear them mention income inequality. That's a direct effect of the OWS protests.

You may hear Republicans complaining about class warfare. The truth is that class warfare has been going on for decades, and now the class that's been losing ( the middle class) is getting angry and speaking up about it.

I got to enjoy dinner with my younger brother in law (21 yrs) and his new girlfriend, they started talking about OWS and how excited they were about it. She expressed to me how completely messed up the system is. You see, she has a double major and a double minor and is almost 50 grand in debt, but she is working her ass off. This semester she has 18 hours and next she has 21. She is above a 3.5 on her gpa. The only real problem I see whith this thing for her is her majors and minors. She is majoring in French and Religious Studies, with minors in Black Studies and Philosophy. I'll give her the fact she is working her ass off in these classes, in fact she is far to busy to even have a part time job and she is a smart girl, I'm just not sure who would hire her and pay her enough to pay off these loans.
See for me, it's not the top 1% that are to blame for this poor girls future, it's the lies she's been told. She's been told it's her right to attend college, that she should major in what she likes, that if she works hard then it all works out. This poor girl is gonna get out of college owing almost as much as a house, with what to show for it? Don't you think maybe should would have been better served to intern some place for 4 years. No wonder she's bitching, I would be too.

That's an individual case Berger. Some people do make poor choices. I'm not familiar with what kind of jobs she could get with her education, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. If she's smart enough to have a double major and a double minor, she's probably smart enough to have figured out what doors her degree will open for her.

Why does she think the system is messed up; is it because tuition is outrageously high?

For our country to be the advanced nation we want it to be, we NEED education. Student debt has outpaced credit card debt.

Wages for most Americans have stagnated, so yes, the majority of students have a legitimate gripe; the price of education continues to increase, while the degree and opportunities you get as a result are worth less.

ASKER

>>Where did you go that you were able to determine the composition of the entire movement? NY? DC? Atlanta? Oakland?

Well tell us where the normal ones are, Beetos.

I'll let the elderly know so that they can feel safe that the OWS idiots won't push them down stairs.

ASKER

>>, while the degree and opportunities you get as a result are worth less.

Surely we're better off after 3 years with the community organizer!

Now that you mention it Cars, Obama did make a change to the government student loan process that cuts out the middle man, reduces cost, and makes it easier for students to get loans. That change alone could save $60 billion over the next decade.

BTW - who pushed the woman down the stairs? These are the first two comments from your link on FOXNATION no less:

[Moderator] 51 minutes ago
There is nowhere in that video you can see anyone pushing her. She is surrounded by the people she left the building with.

Moderator -- Your headline is brutally inaccurate as there is no clear evidence in this video that the unfortunate woman was pushed by anyone.

Please rewrite and repost it to reflect a "fair and balanced" position. I know Fox News would never want to mislead anyone.

Beetos, she wasn't meant to be an example of everyone. I just thought it was interesting talking to her and what's been posted on this thread. I can see where she's coming from, hell she's working her ass off, and once she gets out, she'll either have to get a masters or take some job with pay so low she'll have no hope of paying back her loans. She was basically saying the system is messed up, because she has worked her butt off and should get to enjoy the fruits of her labor I guess. She just keep saying how unfair it was for her to do all this stuff (take out loans, study hard, forego partying) and at the end of the day she has no opportunity and a mountain of debt. I agree, it's not fair......what would make it fair?

"makes it easier for students to get loans"

Kind of like the housing bubble, we need a new bubble....the education bubble, oh we already have that, well lets make it bigger.

What would happen if 18 year old kids were able to take out $100,000 loan from the gov't to buy a new car do? Well they have to get to work. Would the 18 year olds spend it wisely? How can people not see that?

There's a difference between a gov't loan and any other loan: namely, you can't get out of a gov't loan by bankruptcy - the gov't is gonna get theirs!

If that 18 yr old kid defaults on the loan, his pay could be garnished, his tax returns, whatever, for the next 20 years.

Gov't loans also only go up to a certain amount, so that $100,000 loan is likely to include some private loans as well.

"his pay could be garnished, his tax returns, whatever, for the next 20 years."

Great, the kid gets an education that's not worth the money he paid for it AND we get the added bonus of screwing him over for the next 20 years. Talk about heartless, have you no shame......you must be one of those evil 1%'ers. What would happen if we allowed 18 year olds to buy cars with gov't loans. The same thing you see now.........cars go up dramatically, car quality go down. Kids making bad choices on the car they get.......you would see the same thing you see now with college. Would you give your 18 year old 20 grand and tell him to get whatever car he wants....without your input. I hope not.......but we do this with education and wonder why it turns out bad.

I'm not getting your point berger. Are you saying the gov't is wrong for providing student loans?

I know I would not be where I am today without the gov't backed student loans I had.

Are you saying your out pushing old ladies down some stairs?

WTF does that even mean? What IS your point?

I was just kidding with that. :) My point is two part. Are student loans needed, sure, I've never said do away with them. But it's just like the houseing bubble. The gov't gets behind it, pushes loans, trying to make things fair. It creates a bubble, how many people are bitching about how underwater they are on their house? How many are bitching about how worthless their degree is? And then the price gets pushed way out of context. Don't you see the relation? What has happened to the cost of a 4 year degree? Why? and please don't blame bush.

ASKER

>> Are you saying the gov't is wrong for providing student loans?

I'm saying that. You pay your f*ckin' loans and I'll pay mine.

Last thing I want to do is pay off some dip sh*ts loan when he/she majored in Eastern European art.

>>BTW - who pushed the woman down the stairs?

Casper?

My point is also, why is it everything the gov't jumps into and trys to make more fair always make it far more expensive. Housing, healthcare, education. They all get to the point we beg them to take over it, and how do they pay for it....they don't, they run a deficit.

But the gov't has backed student loans for years. Obama just eliminated the middle man - processors who made a profit by connecting students with loans. This reduces the cost. How is that bad?

As far as the education bubble, yes, tuition is way to high. The income from jobs you can get with a degree are not keeping pace with the cost of the degree. Yes that's a problem - what is the solution?

Of course, you can't sell your degree, and it takes much more involvement on your part than buying a house, so there's not the same speculation driving prices. There are many more factors than that as to why they are different.

I guess the question is, what IS driving the cost of education so high?

Cars, you seem to really hate education. But I'll help you with this one - tax payers don't pay for student loans. If you're worried about being on the hook for students who default on their loans, relax. They can't. See my post above - the gov't is gonna get theirs. Student's who are in default at the end of 20 years most likely will have paid far more than the original loan already, do to their higher interest, fees and penalties they will incur through late payments and defaults.

So what is driving the cost of education?

"Obama just eliminated the middle man"
Are these more jobs he's ended, along with the light bulb makers?

>>But I'll help you with this one - tax payers don't pay for student loans.

Hussein O. wants to reduce it down to 20 years, which is a *wink, wink* way of telling a philosophy major to pay the minimum and have it wiped out later (ie, buying votes). There are alternate uses for that money, one of which is letting the owners of that money keep it.

Government should have no role in loaning out tax payer money...period. No Constitutional basis for that. Sh*t like this is why we have an out of control deficit.

You're continually accusing Obama of buying votes no matter what he does. Let me ask you, does it work the other way?

All these congressmen, when they scream NO TAX INCREASES ON THE RICH!!!! - are they buying not only votes but campaign contributions? How many congressmen are in the 1%? I'll bet it's more than 1%!

No. They're letting people keep their OWN money. The money they earned working 14 hour days. The money they received after taking a risk starting a business that put people to work.

You mean like George Soros and Warren Buffett? Imelt? OBAMA?

>> The money they earned working 14 hour days. The money they received after taking a risk starting a business that put people to work.

Like the banks. Oh wait they took the money from Tax Payers who worked 14 hours a day & in end lost their jobs. How about the Coroprations? Oh wait they took the Tax Payers money & gave it to their shareholders and didn't create any jobs. They also paid off the Democrats & Republicans so no one will vote to tax them.

>Professional protesters? What does that even mean?

What it means is that those people do this for a living. I saw people protesting geneticly modified foods, financial institutions, global warming, meat consumption, income distribution, and globalization. Saw banners for both Communist and Anarchist movements.

Basically a convension of social discontents.

Where did you go that you were able to determine the composition of the entire movement? NY? DC? Atlanta? Oakland?

I have not made a determination of the "entire movement", if one can even call it as such. My impressions are based on what I saw as I visited the NY site, which is a 5 minute walk from where I work.

Leon, only you can be sure of your personal experience - no one can debate you on that.

Yes, one can call it a movement because that's exactly what it is, whether you understand or respect that or not.

Cars,

I feel for you brother. i just read a report on the OWS at Fox News and it was terrifying - I'm surprised there haven't been widespread murders yet! Of course you must understand that Fox is VERY slanted - they will magnify any issue they can find and ignore anything else. You might remember when they were promoting the Tea Party rallies?

Any negative elements - racist signs, incoherent signs, fringe ramblings, militia group involvement, all down played or excused as "leftist false flag" tactics. Meanwhile they claimed it was a grass roots movement of real Americans, ignoring the fact that they had corporate sponsors, busses, and Fox' own promotion and hosting of events!

The thing is, OWS is not an organized rally - it is a true grass roots horizontal movement. You're seeing incidents because there are elements who see self-serving opportunities at these protests. This is unfortunate, and there are those who by their actions are tarnishing the movement, but the movement by and large condemns these issues and tries to react accordingly.

Regardless how you dismiss these "professional protesters/ hippie bums", their message is getting out, is resounding, and is going to have an impact on our national discourse and the direction this country takes.

Tea Parties' battle cry was "Take our country back" - but they never said back from what. It seemed like just the right wing of the Republican party didn't like a Democrat in the White house. OWS wants to "take our country back" but they're actually saying they want to take control back from the corporations and wealthy who have too much influence in Washington and return it to the people.

beetos, that doesn't even make sense. Return power back to whom? The people......all people? As you watch the OWS you can see they can't even agree on anything....they just want things to be different.......they want the rich to have less, they want to stop global warming, yet they want all their toys, they're against everything, yet FOR everything. I guess at the end of the day, they're a lot like Al Gore, they want to in some way to limit what I can do, yet they are free to do as they please. Maybe they just want the ability to make bad choices and not pay the price for poor choices.
What do they want? Things to be more fair. I'll never understand hoiw you can take something from someone who has earned it and give it to someone who has not earned it and call THAT fair.

Well said beetos. My problem with the OWS though is that they are getting a message out but nobody has any idea what to do about it, and then they come out with some outlandish things that just show how off the mark they are.

Metaphor time:

A house that a lot of people live in is on fire and nobody in the community knows. A group grows around it and starts screaming FIRE. They get the message out. The problem is none of them know anything about how to stop the fire. Nobody has a bucket of water or hose or anything. Then someone starts saying lets all throw sand on it to put it out. Lets poke it with a stick. They got their message out but they aren't really figuring out a way to help. They are just saying something is wrong.

The difference with the country is there is no bucket of water or hose that can just fix this. They don't know the answer to fix what the problem is, and honestly nobody else does either.

Oh yea, there is this other group that just wants to bulldoze the house down. It stops the fire, but doesn't really help the house, but they have their own house so don't care.

The OWS is made up of Americans - who also can't seem to agree on anything.

But a wide majority of Americans- 75% - agree with the main complaint from OWS. I've stated it, restated it, re-iterated it, and thought I'd made it clear, but I'll give it one more shot:

Return power back to whom? The people......all people?

That's right WE THE PEOPLE. Not WE THE CORPORATIONS. Not WE THE RICH PEOPLE, but WE THE PEOPLE.

We don't have millions to lobby Congress with - our only power is to vote. We get to vote once per year. Lobbyists work everyday.

Citizens United is a great example of what OWS means by taking the country back.

So, let me be clear and simple:

OWS wants to "take the country back" from the moneyed interests who have control of our political system.

>>OWS wants to "take the country back" from the moneyed interests who have control of our political system.

OK, that is the message to get out (house is on fire). Got it.

Yes, things don't look good for OWS protesters
