The American people are not investing in themselves.

And here is the problem. As the trend is currently going, where exactly are Americans going to be working? Right now America is running on the excess successes of previous generation. And we are quickly blowing through that. We keep losing jobs and money to china what exactly do you think will happen? Rather than do something about it you seem to be be thinking we should just shrug it off and do nothing. That attitude is not going to help fix anything. Our generation may be fine, and thats all that matters right?

I have a prediction. This will not end well. Especially if OWS executes it well and manages to disrupt people trying to go about their every day lives.

I think this will be good for the country. More the people get to see of what Liberalism really is, the less they will like it.

This is Liberalism on parade and I predict that the American People will turn their noses up at it.

Because there's nothing positive, or constructive to say to say about the occutards.

They have about as much to add to society as L.A. street gangs.

I don't disagree that OWS is filled with a bunch of idiots. Not all them, but there are enough idiots who keep the movement from doing what it could be doing. If OWS could pull its **** together and organize they could have a very good impact on this country.

First thing they need to do is get all their "members" to practice what they preach and start protesting according to the law.

But that is not what you said. Dont change your statement. The one I replied to helps nothing and adds nothing to the conversation.

Never seen much concerning OWS which indicates the contrast is false. The vast majority of them appear to be privileged or semi-privileged white kids.

I thought they were lazy, unemployed people wanting more entitlements. Why would rich kids need that?

While many members OWS are liberals, this is not a liberal movement.

That's because more and more people are being taught that they don't have to do anything, but rather sit on their asses and let the government do it for them. That was the entire theme of the occutard movement and why there's nothing positive to say about them.

I'm sorry, but I totally missed the Conservative components of the occutard movement. Perhaps you could point them out for me?

The major theme of the OWS is encouraging growth in our economy and job creation. Do you really think that conservatives dont want that?

Really on "international workers day" the socialist holiday? :lol:

Nah, it's not a left wing movement.... Anyway, if one person dies because a rescue vehicle is stalled, they should be charged with murder... But let's be real here. This movement is long dead and nothing will be stopped. :lol: [/FONT][/COLOR]

this will either be a sadly pathetic group of fools who will stand around and be ignored... or they will react to their utter failure by turning violent.

:mrgreen: man I wish I was a private citizen. I would love to be there if (when) they riot..... with a good solid billy club..... no need to commit assault... just stand there... and defend myself

OWS has nothing to do with Communism. Also, you are incorrect that America was founded on equal opportunity. If that was so, why were there slaves?

They want to destroy Capitalism what "ism" do they want then?

Get off the slaves crap that was before we grew as a nation and realized how wrong it was, that does not diminish the founding fathers idea of this nation.

It has nothing to do with Communism. This is also a big problem in America. It seems like we're encouraging healthy doses of stupid. That needs to stop. The movement isn't about Communism and anyone with 1/4 of a functioning brain knows this. Dogs know this. There are certainly Communists within the movement, but the aggregate movement isn't promoting communism. It's time to put stupid arguments aside and perhaps actually address issues.

What "ism" are they promoting then, since they want to destroy Capitalism?

You're barking up the wrong tree if you want insightful debate. This issue is so politicized that people will REFUSE to actually take the time to explore and try to understand the basics.

That's an ignorant statement. "Want to destroy Capitalism"? Which form? The Corporate Capitalist model we now employ? Sure, there is a lot of anger pointed at our closed off, bought off Corporate Capitalism we employ now. All Capitalism? No, I think there are groups within OWS whom wish to reinstall Free Market Capitalism. I would concur with that assessment. Corporate Capitalism which encourage oligarchy while destroying competition should be done away with, we should return to a free market standard.

Small companies aren't amongst the protected class. Corporations are the protected entity and every day are entangled further with the State. The Corporate State is where we're headed, aka fascism (as this is pretty much the functional definition of fascism).

OWS has not done a good job in general. Yet the aggregate is not pushing communism or anything like that. They're pissed off at the Corporate State, as they should be. As we all should be, particularly if we're free market supporters.

Good job with what? Destroying property, raping, murder, disease, stealing??? What exactly?

Just more of what makes all this such a riot. If you go out and ask the actual OWS "boots on the ground", they haven't a ****ing clue, or talk in grandiose ignorant "for the people" and "against evil corporations" and this absurd "we are the 99" horse manure. And they want free-stuff.

And they break stuff. And disrupt stuff. And trash the joint. And target all companies that are not unionized.

Yet folks here want us to believe that we are to ignore what the anarchists say and do, and that its all just about making things better for the working man.

Commies. Lard-ass commies. Moochers. Parasites. Leeches. Scumbags.
