In the U.S. alone, says Emily Matthews of the World Resources Institute, every man, woman and child is responsible for the consumption of about 25 tons of raw materials each year.
Americans, while making up only four percent of the worlds population, operate one third of its automobiles. U.S. citizens consume one quarter of the worlds global energy supply.
all of this is because the unemployment rate for males 18-35 is around three times the national average.. That's national you have to look at regional rates and it's probably safe to assume that its alot higher in those bigger cities where people are actually protesting.
so loads of people are now homeless and unemployed, the taxes they've paid have bailed out banks that continue to give they're CEO's beyond massive bonuses and lobby against human rights whilst keeping manufacturing jobs abroad because they can extort the poorest people in the world whom work in "camps" supervised by armed soldiers. no, these people have no right to protest you stupid ignorant moron!
HAHA, here is a fist generation Asian American, probably Vietnamese, who has probably lived under Communism and he thinks these people are stupid. What does that tell you. In fact many immigrants from Communist countries reject OWS. Because people who have tasted Communism don't like it.
most of you fags need to wake up this guy is a food vender big fucking deal take your business down the street like this small business he has makes any real money for him to talk shit there is a bigger picture here and if you can make such a big apposing argument off this video you are retarded
@thatbeast21yr The man is right It's entirely pointless to be camping there like retards and fucking people's business, instead why not make a big protest once a week and keep it focus. It's just a matter of basic logistics, if you have many people there all the time, it means they are coming and going at times, instead you could concentrate full force once a week or twice a moth or whatever....But this is just stupid and a waste of tax payers money on police and cleaning the shit.
fuck these protesters let this vietnamese immigrant get on with his business. Protesting won't do anything.
If you wanna be the top 1% you gotta work for it like the rest of the top 1% did when they were still part of the 99%
It's not welfare America and America wasnt founded on hand outs. Stop making the rest of Americans stupid and just do something to get employed or start your own business. Maybe you can help other people get employed that way.
@j12torts I hope you wake up some day and realize how stupid you are. Protesting wont do anything? How did Ghandi fight the british? He told his fellow protesters to go and make their own salt(the british had monopoly of salt) so they started beating the protestors down. The media did the rest, spread the news all over the world of the notorious brits and what they did. Same goes here, fkn earraping bureaucrats is what they are. THere's a reason why there was a "Blackout" in the media u know...
@SnwStoriesInc you can protest it is your right but if you really think about what you are protesting about....actually what is it about? are you complaining about the 1% who are rich? thos 1% were also part of the 99% before (if not them then maybe their grandfather was) why dont you just work hard to be the 1%?
you cant get to the 1% rich by protesting, you have to do something constructive like think of a business idea.
im part of the 99% but i dnt expect anyone to give handouts to me do i
@j12torts well there are handouts and then there are closed doors..things have changed a lot since the 50s!
the point of all this is to redistribute wealth somewhat so others have a chance at being innovative..modern big business seems more concerned with coldly increasing its profits regardless! does it seems fair that 1 man can have trillions and yet millions of people and children starve to death?
@alhazed Sane people do not starve to death here. Stop lying. Also, you think you don't have the chance to be innovative??? Focus on making money, rather than trying to take it, and you will. Facebook is probably one of the best recent examples of why you are completely wrong. 7 years old and they had $3.7 billion in revenue. Did they force anyone to make their Facebook account, or give them money? No. Now quit trying to take other peoples money, and go create your own wealth.
@BDBK666 im not sure if your aware but occupy is a global protest and you and i live in a global economy. theres no rational idea behind saying "sane people dont stave", of course they do...as much as next man!
one last thing, dont presume i dont make my own money or that you know anything about me
@alhazed People DO NOT starve to death due to lack of ability to get food in the US or the UK. Find me one legit report of one case of it. You can't. Redistributing American wealth is not going to help some kid in Africa, if anything it would be worse. No man has anywhere close to a trillion dollars either. I didn't presume anything about you making your own money, but you obviously, and want to take it from people who have more, and you lie to make your case. Just read your own comment lol.
@BDBK666 thats the second time you called me a lier, i dont appreciate your idiocy you pathetic little troll. if you cant comment without accusing complete strangers of things then i really dont care to take to you.
@alhazed You say 1 man has trillionS, while millions of people and kids starve. Well It actually takes the top 43 richest people in the world to reach 1 trillion. The amount these people give in charity is amazing to say the least. If you take it all from them, It may feed the world for a year sure. But then they have no capital to invest, and make money to give to charity, or taxes, and then what? People shouldn't have kids if they can't even feed themselves. It's not fair to the kid or us.
@BDBK666 You have no idea how the world works. I think its rather sad maybe you should go to school and learn a little something about how this government and this nation has become a piece of shit. This is the land of Hippocrates. "The land of the FREE whoever told you that is your ENEMY" RATM
@j12torts People like you are so ignorant and blinded by whatever the media tells you. There OWS Movement have so many legitimate concerns and reccomendations. Auditing and ending the Federal Reserve is the only chance America has to get back to democracy. History has taught us that fascism is the by product of a decaying capitalist economy. Seriously think about it.
@ProductionMarx you cannot end the fed. Every country has a central bank much like the Fed. What we can do is regulate it a bit more and yes you are right, audit it more.
But to end it is just silly. WHo's gonna be the central bank then? those other big private companies? who doesnt care about the overall economy but only to expand their profits. You cannot end the Fed. Just regulate it more.
@j12torts regulate it more? it is unregulated, it is unaudited..if you think its shareholders are gonna be willing to show you all the dirty deeds they have been getting up to then your seriously mistaken..the central banks are vital to the establishment, they wont give them up i assure you!
Wall st protesters are stupid. They do not realize that if CEO's lose their business then employees would be fired. no income means no money, no money means starvation and poverty for America.
If you complain about how much these CEO's are making, then make your own business and become a CEO, that way you can employ other people and probably make them a CEO too.
if the CEO's business fails a lot of people lose jobs. It's as simple as that. If a business is not making profit, evry1 is f&*#@@
Independant entrepreneurs like this man are what make America great. All he wants to do is run his small business & serve his customers to make money. These self-righteous do gooders crowding the park all day, producing nothing of value for society, are digusting people. Get of your ass and work like the rest of us.
A food vender is being put out of work because a few thousand people are crowded around his store? Either he's the worst vender in world, or it's the police that are actually keeping him from working.
If their activities are putting the little guy out of business, one of "the 99%", then doesn't this reek of hypocrisy? Doesn't this defeat what they claim to stand for?
Unreported? This is the only side you hear from the right wing. The tea party basically got worshipped by the media, but as far as ows goes it seems like every single action comes under scrutiny. Ive been watching this guys videos and he seems to be spending his time finding the most random outliers (or just paying somebody) to make his nonexistent case against ows. It is truly an amazing and loyal dog that defends a master that would sell him for kicks.
@ZombiBuddy Conservatives are just judging OWS like the Liberals judge the Tea Party. The Tea Party hardly got their voices heard, because they were immediately shot down by the Left and called Racist.
Now the Left expects Conservatives to give the respect to OWS, that was not given to the Tea Party. Fuck that! If you Libs want to call hardworking, Patriotic Americans stupid, racist rednecks, then I will call your little rabble a cesspool of human excrement.
@ZombiBuddy Hahaha. "nonexistant case". Like the very peaceful protesters who broke into a city hall building and a YMCA in Oakland after being denied access to a vacant building which they had no legal right to be in? Like how they threw metal pipes and glass bottles at the police? Open your eyes, you media tool.
@eRev21 Like the former Marine who got shot in the head with a teargas cannister that fractured his skull. Like the woman who was beaten and pepper sprayed for taking a picture. A vacant building that Occupy Oakland wanted to convert to a headquarters/community center, but to even temporarily make use of a building was unacceptable to the government. Stop acting like you are some enlightened man because you hate something FOX news and CNN told you to hate.
@ZombiBuddy Time taken to reply with a comment implying that I'm on the right: less than 24 hours. Not bad. I'm actually very far to the left and have voted that way for years. Kind of funny that you skated around the incident in question and defaulted back to previous events. Oh, and by your reckoning, any building not currently being utilized is available for habitation by anyone at all? Interesting. Well, not so much interesting as inane. That's about all the time I'm going to waste with you.
Vietnamese capitalist huh? Then he benefited from the LARGEST BIG GOVERNMENT PROGRAM SINCE WORLD WAR II, the Vietnam War which cost taxpayers trillions in today's dollars. A war in which the US was never attacked. Yeah, that's when black kids were reading antique school books so we could send millions of scared young boys against their will to save his greedy ass from his brethren.
@Bill1275w Who is greedy the guy trying to offer a service or the communist who tries to steal the business from him? Hint: the guy offering a service isn't going to mass murder anyone or send them to Siberia.
all he wants to do is work these cry baby ass protesters act like these are hard times everyone of them can go get food stamps and live off the system not like in the great depression where people are in lines to get bread .They call all these rich people evil yet have a cell in hand thats the one % they are giveing there money too but no its allways different when its they useing the evil mans cell phone . P.S the rapeing and breaking peoples shit has lost it for your movement FUCKIN LOSERS
@ugotcatfish Lay off the drugs loser.That was complete nonsense.When did cell phones become a big issue?LOLWho got raped?Food stamps are a JPMorgan product.FUCK JPMORGAN and the rest of the bankers who profit from the destruction of our economy..We're $14,000,000,000,000 in debt.You better learn Chinese if you want to keep your job....fuckin typical TV educated american idiot
That's the real comedy isn't it? These protesters hate "the institutions", yet they want them to give them welfare & free college credits, IE have jurisdiction over everything.
I'm paying my way through university and taking on loan debt. Here's the difference: I'm studying bio/chemical engineering and finance and have already been offered positions that would easily pay all of my debt off.
These people majored in sociology and dance. Plan ahead, hippies.
These occupy prosters just don't get it.....they are the 1% who are un-American, whining, entitlement based, stupid, and attention seeking. OWS is scum...And when things get real bad and the REAL public gets involved and retaliates against OWS scum......LIGHTS OUT FOR THEM!......Law enforcement can just set back, eat popcorn, and take bets.
@lleuwelyn and notice also how the vietnamese guy answers to his last question:"i hope they get answer to what they want". Not a direct "i want them to leave in full retreat".
@lleuwelyn basically the guy said, i want them to pull their heads out of their asses, do what they need to do and then (this would be a direct quote) "they need to go"
Imagine that..... a vietnamese immigrant has a better grasp on the reality of how the OWS is hurting the 99% they say they represent, than any OWS protestors.
Just goes to show you the OWS doesn't really care about the 99%. Only their own personal agendas. The 99% is just slogan for them to hide behind and use to expand their socialist agendas. If this guy can understand how they should go about trying to implement change, why don't any of the OWS protestors?
@MrSharon5 He is home. He's taken full legal advantage of the incredible nation he came to, I say, "WELCOME! We need more of you, not these rotten douchebag wannabe-victims behind you!"
ask any of these hard working diligent asians or immigrants about their perspective. see if they feel someone owes them something. i dont think you'll find one with a sense of entitlement like most of the lazy bastards at these rallies. they go out and get it done. dont want anyone to feel sorry for them, but just want opportunity.
@rgwynne100 I found a good vid of a former Soviet citizen questioning some of these people. Of course they yelled him out and one them told him the only reason he lived in America now was because he was rich and tormented the people. Idiots.
Bad math "Occupy'ers" There are 7 Billion people on earth. 1% of that is 70 Million. There are not 70,000,000 millionaires. After a quick study one can learn that there are approximately 6,000 - 7,000 millionaires consisting of a few dozen of the wealthy elite! That means the real number is ~ 1/10,000 of a %. There's nothing wrong with capitalism but there's something wrong with allowing these elite to print our currency like they're doing! -OUR ONLY CHANCE-END THE FED!-BUY PHYSICAL SILVER
I was a dancing israeli for halloween. When cops arrested me for public drunkenness, I told them We are not your problem, the evil mooslems are YOUR problem. When I flashed my fake mossad badge, he must have thought it was real, because all charges were dropped and I got a first class ticket to israel for free!
I'm going to have to side with the conformists on this one, the occupy movement should really consider local businesses in it's ventures, I know the one in my city is, but it's easier here due to the size. Also I know the guy with the camera, he's biased and I've heard him blatantly misrepresent the truth a few times in other videos, so let's not jump the gun here. Ugh, I long for a world with journalists that merely display the facts, I want to listen to this but can't because I don't trust him
@joeratti Don't be an idiot. We're going to HAVE to start limited the amount of children people can have eventually. What, you think we've got endless room?
the Vietnamese gentleman is a Good man. Notice how he's indirectly stating that his business is being affected. But, he won't say it harshly. He's Pretty cool.
@nthnppps Sure. Just remember that Robin Hood fought the state (in the form of the Sherriff of Nottngham and King John) which was taxing the people to death. The state used the power of legal violence to enrich itself at the expense of the merchants in the nation. So, Robin Hood was a... wait for it... Libertarian.
@wizmindfire Notice also how Robin Hood fought against a COMMAND ECONOMY controlled by the king which choked business' in England. These guys was to install a COMMAND ECONOMY with the government choking business' and preventing them from expanding, giving all that money to people in the form of benefits that 80% of them don't deserve. They're just benefit moochers. Don't fall for this crap. The Chinese, Russians and Cubans did. It didn't go so well.
*** "Occupy Wall Street" organizers (11-01-11) have filed paperwork to "trademark" the name "Occupy Wall Street" in order to profit from future earnings (name recognition). In other words, the anti-capitolists want to capitolize off of being anti-capitolists. Typical liberal left behavior.
I think there are some people who actually have an idea of what they are talking about. and other people are there because they just want to be there contributing.
I'd trade this guy for all the jerks behind him. He's traveled 1/2 way around the world and is (was) making a living, until these parasitic, "mommy-basement-dwelling" turds ruined his efforts. He's the real American on that street.
@Unkonvinced "With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name — liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names; liberty and tyranny."-Lincoln
@Unkonvinced Same thing. when I have a "right" to an education, healthcare or anything beyond "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness", then it is incumbent upon someone else to supply me with that product or service at their cost or effort. Hence slavery. I am sure that Lincoln was for protest, but not if the "protest" would have been paired with factions dedicated to the destruction of democracy and the nation he spent 100's of thousands of lives to preserve. He's have mown them down.
@TNCelt1since you seem to think that Abe would have been ok with pooping on private property, and demanding someone else to pay off your debt; "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built". -Lincoln
@Unkonvinced You tried to tie Lincoln's writings to these parasitic imbeciles. He would have run them out of town on a rail. And while we're on it, NO they aren't fighting for democracy. When I see a bunch of self-proclaimed Maoists with banners that say "End Capitalism"...and you are a self absorbed jerk. How would you feel if some idiot who wanted a free ride to college was responsible for your business, and everything you risked and invested in, going down the toilet? Babyish jerk...
@Unkonvinced "With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor.

This quasi-journalist works for corporatist war profiteers. He's paid well to pretend occupiers are hiding the truth from people. Join our occupations for a week and learn who we are! As it is, you're hating most Americans. They support us. Why do you believe what these smirking con men tell you and ignore the facts? The National Review's wealthy subscribers pay for the glaring omissions in their rag, not the educated opinions of war veterans and human rights activists. They fear us.
@ol5string He is not lazy. He is trying to run his small business but can't because of the stupid protesters. If you wanted to try to understand, you would.
Who even came up with this "99%" notion? Do they not realize that in reality they are something like 5% or less... the rest of us are too busy working, supporting our families (along with these worthless bums through our tax dollars), and enjoying the fruits of Capitalism in this the greatest nation on earth, to give a crap about their "cause".
@jnix729 They state they represent the "99%" because it amplifies their "movement" more. They sure as hell don't represent me and the majority of the American public.
Why does the US give so much aid to Israel? The Israeli ... Since 1949 the US has given Israel a total of $84854827200. The interest ... Since 1992, the US has offered Israel an additional $2 billion in loan guarantees every year.6. The U.S. ... Let's just throw away money
Its ironic that an Asian immigrant who runs his own business, can't understand these Wall Street whiners complaining about not being able to find a job, this is why Asians are kicking the ass of all our young minds of mush today, weither its in the class room, the work place, or business, they are willing to work for it, and these leaches all want it to be given to them, turn off your video games put the pot down and go get a job or start your own business, but for God sake stop whining!
@skin5011 Well said. People actually WORK in Asia because its dishonorable to rely on handouts. What's more, if you're found with drugs in Japan, its not a slap on the wrist. Its hard time and most likely a kicking from the cops. So what then? Very, very low drug crime in Japan. The West would do well to follow the East's example.
@HokkaidoNightfire 100% agree. when you have serious punishments, citizens will naturally have a decreased inclination to commit crimes. Example (albeit a very extreme one): if you know that the punishment for theft is having your hand chopped off, will you be as likely to steal that 6-pack of Budweiser from 7-11. I can't speak for everyone, but i desire having both hands, so i'd definitely be deterred from stealing
@Oblander Precisely. The East gets this concept. The West doesn't because everyone's too worried about the rights and welfare of serious criminals. I'm not suggesting we cut off people's appendages for video piracy, but punishments have to get more severe if people are to start taking the law seriously. Knock down some of these shitty neighborhoods and build some more prisons.
In all reality the Occupy Movement is quite against having stuff "given" to anyone, and the whole protests actually started because bailout money was given to the Wall Street speculators after they crashed the entire market in 2008. Strange how your ignorant assumptions all turn out to be nothing but judgment from a shallow man. Companies like Walmart which are no doubt being protested against, are the force driving many of these small businesses owners out.
@NeutralExistence OK smart guy what do you want to replace our current system with? and do you really believe that after you get your equal outcome system that people will actually be equal, your the dumb ass look at the history behind movements like yours to see what will be the outcome of your revolution, the rich will still be with us but any chance for you and I to move up that latter will be gone forever, anyone that doen't get killed will live in poverty all their lives, your a fool.
@skin5011 We want to reinstate Glass Steagal and other laws that successfully prevented this type of economic disaster for almost 70 yrs. We want caps on CEO pay...just like they have in sports (where top performers still get plenty of money and performance has only increased) No one here is calling for Mao's great leap forward. You can still get rich. You just can't turn our retirement funds into a casino or turn our planet into a gas chamber in the process.
@Bill1275w We live in a global economy if you fix CEO pay they'll just move to another country, and how is that going to help anyone get a job? you have your heart in the right place but the outcome of what your trying to do, will not help but will divide this country and bring us to the brink of distruction, you are being used you are a pawn in a much bigger game for control of all the wealth and power of the whole globe, follow your funding sources to find out who's pulling the strings.
Maybe like the Capitalist system that existed before the private institution known as the Federal Reserve took over "America" subversively, and before the Glass–Steagall Act was nerfed. Or the system that actually had regulations against printing endless un-backed fiat currency, trapping the nation in a system of perpetual spending to inflate its market in the wake of no industry/manufacturing at home, and the removal of corporate persons, and systemic corruption.
@NeutralExistence I like some of what you say, however if you do anything that hinders or restricks business in anyway you will be hurting the job creators. We live in a time when that would be a very bad idea. Are you a Ron Paul guy? Because I really like him, capitalism isn't the problem with our system, its crownie capitalism and social enginearing, and the biggest culpirit is globalism, that has done nothing but drain jobs out of this country.
The intentions are defiantly not to hurt job creators, but to bring back the job creators. The true threat to job creation, is unrestricted corporate monopolies, and the system of corruption that is allowed in the judicial systems of the West. I believe Ron Paul has a-lot of good idea's, but I also believe that he is the JFK of our days, and that speaks for itself. I agree that its crony Economic/Political systems, and Globalism that are at the heart of our problems.
@NeutralExistence Common ground again we arn't so different, just be just be careful in your efforts to change our system, capitalism is our best hope to give us all a chance at a better life, but I agree with you that the fact that government and privit business are in bed together is a bad idea for everyone but the very wealthy and must be stopped, and that globalism hasn't helped the working man in this country at all, it is as Ross Pero said it would be a race to the bottom.
I disagree with the fact that Capitalism is our best hope, for I believe a mix of different economic systems would benefit us more more then relying on only the idea's of Capitalism. However I do believe that if properly used it could do wonders for certain country's like "America" in which the free market has been see to flourish when it was not being manipulated. Its simply not a one size fits all fix however, and we need to expand our idea's about how economics should work.
@NeutralExistence This is where we part ways, and this is what scares me about the Occupy Wall Street People, the vast majority of these people want to scrap capitalism believeing that Capitalism is the reason for all the worlds problems, and I know that capitalism is the best system for allowing people to raise themselves up from poverty to prosperity, and giving the government more power is a recipe for desaster, its the goverment that caused this mess, why do you think they can fix it?
No one said anything about scrapping Capitalism, one could simply improve on the work of Adam Smith, no need to scrap anything if we can fix the mentality of profit over people, that is the main thing causing so much problems in the Pseudo Capitalist system.
Relying on the markets "invisible hand" isn't a viable choice for a species that seems to prefer profit, over helping his fellow man. However in true Socialism the people gain more control through government.
@NeutralExistence I'v listend to several interviews with these people at PWS and the all seam to want to punish the rich and redistribute the wealth to the poor, most are asking for some kind of handout from the government, it all sounds like socialism or maybe even communism to me, it will divide and distroy this nation if they are secessful, I have great fear in my heart for what I know is coming in the near future, your dream will turn out to be a nightmire, and freedom will be lost forever.
Now please tell me where you saw these interviews? Fox news? MSNBC??
How about check out Keith Oberman, The Real News Network, Russia Today, or some other media outlet that doesn't clearly gain from slandering the OWS movement. If you haven't already seen Fox News set of attack pieces on the movement. There is lots of Veterans at these protests, who supposedly died for your freedoms...
@NeutralExistence Maybe you've heard of it before its called You Tube, "Russia Today and Keith Oberman" that's what you call real news? Your totally F'd up dude! people like you are nothing but useful idiots for the far left wing nutjobs who dream of building a world wide Socialist New World Order, I'll tell you what is going to happen in 2012, your people will become more and more violent, 1968 style riots, and blood shed, because of you and people like you, people will be killed.
@NeutralExistence I guess I missed the veterans at the protest that died for my freedoms, who'd you say did that report? I want to see dead people protesting!
How callous of you to make fun of the brave soldiers that served your country.
/watch?v=7Swf5PsB9V4
The police have already beaten the war veterans several times, something you strangely wont see on your MSM. Its disgusting that the same police that protect Nazi marches are being used to attack peaceful protests, even more disgusting is that you are in support of this. Do you enjoy seeing the police beat innocent people, does that make your day?
@NeutralExistence I respect the people that serve this country, I wasn't making fun of them I was making fun of you, you said solders who died for there country were protesting, I'm just trying to figure out how dead solders could protest anything. These protesters are taunting the police and trying to cause an incedent, so they can scream police brutality, so as to get the American public's simpathy, save your BS for the people who get their news from John Stewart, and MSNBC, I know the truth!
Please show me where they are "taunting the police", these are innocent people getting beaten, and the best you can do is make fun. I don't watch either MSNBC, or John Stewart, so I don't have a clue what the hell you are talking about. Sure you know the truth, that is what everyone says, only most people actually have logical evidence to back up their ideology. You however have a bunch of ill earned money you are scared of loosing, that is the only reason you care.
@NeutralExistence Im not going to waist my time doing any research that you'll never acccept as truth anyway, so do your own research, follow the money thats funding this event and then researh that group, but I've been awhare of the formation of this protest from its beginning stages by the Tids foudation and other left wing groups, the plan is to piss of the city officials and the police, if you think that I don't know what I'm talking about just wait and see just how violent this gets.
@skin5011 and as for me losing money, Im not a rich man I'm a retired autoworker, in the last ten years Iv lost almost every thing I have, but Im not looking for any government bailout, or help, Im now back to work driving a school bus, so if any one has a right to complain its me, and no I didn't support the bailout not even for the autoworkers, that debt will eventually destroy the dollar and our ecnomey, but you people are protesting the wrong people, its Washington that caused this mess,
@skin5011 why arn't you people over there protesting the government? the answer is that you people don't understand that its a runaway centeralised Federal government that is at the root of all our problems, you all think its capitalism because you've all been brainwashed by your liberal professors into your marxist mind set, you all believe that the government is the savior and Im telling you that they are the probelm, we need to restore the constatution and states rights or were screwed.
Where do you get your grounds to assume such a thing?
There is always bad members to a protests, one cant simply give up because others are making the experience worse. There is also reports of Agent Provocateurs being used such as what happened in Montreal. Once again, the majority of people don't want to be bailed out, and if they do then I am not supportive of them From my own personal experience the people want the banks to follow the same laws as them
@NeutralExistence I don't assume anything I told you I was following this thing for at least 2 years, I know what the people funding this thing are planing to do, 1) make this look like a grass root movement or a bottom up movement. 2) Start out peaceful to get American support. 3) Take this movement world wide. 3) As the movement grows turn up the heat and get in the face of the police to cause a police crack down, put the videos on youtube and claim police brutality, use that brutality.
@skin5011 Some of you are true believers not knowing that your being used, others know very will that this is movement ment to divide the country and bring down the capitalist system, in order to replace it with a new socialist system, this is an attemp to bring about revolution, I don't care if you believe that or not, I happen to know its the truth because I am a news junkie and I've been following this and related issues for 30 years, trust me I know what's really going on here.
@skin5011 As for getting you the information, I won't waist my time I've been down that road so many times, once someone has so invested themself into a movement or a religion, they will never accept anything but what they already believe as the truth, you have the internet do your own home work, I told you before follow the money and see where it takes you, then research what these people really want, you won't believe me, but maybe you'll believe the writings of the money people backing this.
I am not invested in either a movement or religion. Occupy is simply something that happened, and me like others saw a way to effectively create positive change. I am highly disappointed in the recent disorganization of the movement due to these "infiltrations", and I know all to well about fiscal enslavement. My fear is not that, we should be fearing Monsanto patenting life as we know it.
@NeutralExistence Your peaceful protester sent several cops to the hospital today, one required stitches, many were treated for chemical burns to the eyes, what was that you were saving about not having any prof of violence? this will get much worse as time goes on and in 2012 all hell break lose, people will get killed, and that is what the organizers are hoping for.
Good that the people are actually fighting back, if you are going to be beaten by a armed thug you have every right to defend yourself from that assault. I would like to see some proof of these claims however, since hearsay is not fact. People will get killed either way, that is the way of life, however this is the difference between us all dying in WW3 against another created enemy, and dying fighting for freedom for all of us.
@NeutralExistence You've been used, so many people baught into this protest as a true Grass roots movement by the people to effect change and make those dirty money grubers at Wall Street pay, when infact its all about creating caous and building a socialist revolution, do a little research and see what your socialist revolution will bring, look at Cuba, China, Vietnam, the Soviet Union, see what they got from their revolutions, that's what your people are planing for us, and its comming soon.
@skin5011 Someone better tell Sweden and Finland to stop being so happy. They can't be happy in their socialist hells! Socialism is evil! EVIL!!! SO EVIL!! AHHH ITS GONNA GET YOU SKIN! RUNN!!!!
@VonHalford I hate to spoil you socialist victory party, but incase you haven't noticed Europe is on the verge of total finanical colapse, socialism has crushed the Euro and within the next two years that continent will be crushed by more debt then they have the ability to repay (just like us), Im sure that you'll find a way to blame the US or capitalism for the failer of that great socialist expiriment your so proud of.
Socialism is a class-less state-less society, the Euro is in no way Socialist......
Neither was Cuba, neither was the U.S.S.R.
I am surprised you don't see how your world view has been manipulated to make you fear economic, and political systems. Its a pretty pathetic thing fearing ideas, instead of fearing the people who give them power. Personally I will stick to my own idea's, you can take your ism's, and enjoy your sense of false freedom.
@NeutralExistence Oh Sweden and Findland, are socialist nations but not he rest of Europe! it sounds to me like you want to pick and choose what does or doesn't fit well into your world view, and I never said we are a free nation, we are suposed to be a free nation, I don't believe that is the case today, tell me what our nation doesn't control today, everything we do the government has some kind of regulating body controling it, mostly to protect some kind of big money interest.
@skin5011 The push by these OWS people is for more government control, Socialism or Communism its all the same in my book, its all about government control, time will tell if Im right (I am!), unfortunitly for us by the time you find out that I was right, it will be way to late to undo the damage that you have done, and this nation and its people will all pay a deadly price for your inability to understand what forces were at work here using you to accomplish their misdeads.
@skin5011 I don't believe your evil, I believe that you are a good person trying hard to do what you believe to be the right thing, and to hear someone like me say that you are wrong must be frustratingto you, your just trying to help right an injustise, and I respect you for that, your willing to put your ownself indanger to help your fellow man, your a better man then I am for that reason, I admit to being a lazy coward, Im not sure that I could face those cops down stay strong against them.
@skin5011 But I know what I know, and I know where this is heading, its equally frustrating for me to know what's really going on and to know where this is all headed, and to know how meny people will die, and to not be able to convice people like you. Everything is about to change, not only in this country but around the world, the world is politically unstable, ad to that a crumbling world finanical system and you have the recipe for world wild political unrest and war, and thats whats coming.
It does not anger me in the least, I have been arguing with people on here for years, it would be quite illogical for me to let anything anyone says get to me. However it does make me quite sad when I see the misconceptions society has about certain economic/political practices, for there is nothing scary about these ideology's as long as we are properly educated about their uses/flaws. One of our biggest problems nowadays is miss-education of the masses, or brainwashing.
@NeutralExistence 150,000,000 people have been killed by communist dictaters like Stalin, Pol pot, and Mao Tse Sung, democracys are much more stable forms of government, never has a democracy attacked a nother democracy, and I trust the people with the power not the government, to much power in to few hands isn't good, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutly, trusting our government with more power will not end well for anyone. democracy=freedom socialism=slavery
@skin5011 Just so you don't make yourself look silly next time, socialism is an economic system and democracy is a type of government. You can have democratic socialism and it has quite a large following.

Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built". -Lincoln

@Unkonvinced You tried to tie Lincoln's writings to these parasitic imbeciles. He would have run them out of town on a rail. And while we're on it, NO they aren't fighting for democracy. When I see a bunch of self-proclaimed Maoists with banners that say "End Capitalism"...and you are a self absorbed jerk. How would you feel if some idiot who wanted a free ride to college was responsible for your business, and everything you risked and invested in, going down the toilet? Babyish jerk...

@Unkonvinced "With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name — liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names; liberty and tyranny."-Lincoln

This quasi-journalist works for corporatist war profiteers. He's paid well to pretend occupiers are hiding the truth from people. Join our occupations for a week and learn who we are! As it is, you're hating most Americans. They support us. Why do you believe what these smirking con men tell you and ignore the facts? The National Review's wealthy subscribers pay for the glaring omissions in their rag, not the educated opinions of war veterans and human rights activists. They fear us.

@skin5011 Well said. People actually WORK in Asia because its dishonorable to rely on handouts. What's more, if you're found with drugs in Japan, its not a slap on the wrist. Its hard time and most likely a kicking from the cops. So what then? Very, very low drug crime in Japan. The West would do well to follow the East's example.
HokkaidoNightfire 4 months ago
@HokkaidoNightfire 100% agree. when you have serious punishments, citizens will naturally have a decreased inclination to commit crimes. Example (albeit a very extreme one): if you know that the punishment for theft is having your hand chopped off, will you be as likely to steal that 6-pack of Budweiser from 7-11. I can't speak for everyone, but i desire having both hands, so i'd definitely be deterred from stealing
Oblander 4 months ago
@Oblander Precisely. The East gets this concept. The West doesn't because everyone's too worried about the rights and welfare of serious criminals. I'm not suggesting we cut off people's appendages for video piracy, but punishments have to get more severe if people are to start taking the law seriously. Knock down some of these shitty neighborhoods and build some more prisons.

In all reality the Occupy Movement is quite against having stuff "given" to anyone, and the whole protests actually started because bailout money was given to the Wall Street speculators after they crashed the entire market in 2008. Strange how your ignorant assumptions all turn out to be nothing but judgment from a shallow man. Companies like Walmart which are no doubt being protested against, are the force driving many of these small businesses owners out.

One that works.
Maybe like the Capitalist system that existed before the private institution known as the Federal Reserve took over "America" subversively, and before the Glass–Steagall Act was nerfed. Or the system that actually had regulations against printing endless un-backed fiat currency, trapping the nation in a system of perpetual spending to inflate its market in the wake of no industry/manufacturing at home, and the removal of corporate persons, and systemic corruption.

@NeutralExistence I like some of what you say, however if you do anything that hinders or restricks business in anyway you will be hurting the job creators. We live in a time when that would be a very bad idea. Are you a Ron Paul guy? Because I really like him, capitalism isn't the problem with our system, its crownie capitalism and social enginearing, and the biggest culpirit is globalism, that has done nothing but drain jobs out of this country.
skin5011 4 months ago
@skin5011
The intentions are defiantly not to hurt job creators, but to bring back the job creators. The true threat to job creation, is unrestricted corporate monopolies, and the system of corruption that is allowed in the judicial systems of the West. I believe Ron Paul has a-lot of good idea's, but I also believe that he is the JFK of our days, and that speaks for itself. I agree that its crony Economic/Political systems, and Globalism that are at the heart of our problems.

@NeutralExistence Common ground again we arn't so different, just be just be careful in your efforts to change our system, capitalism is our best hope to give us all a chance at a better life, but I agree with you that the fact that government and privit business are in bed together is a bad idea for everyone but the very wealthy and must be stopped, and that globalism hasn't helped the working man in this country at all, it is as Ross Pero said it would be a race to the bottom.

I disagree with the fact that Capitalism is our best hope, for I believe a mix of different economic systems would benefit us more more then relying on only the idea's of Capitalism. However I do believe that if properly used it could do wonders for certain country's like "America" in which the free market has been see to flourish when it was not being manipulated. Its simply not a one size fits all fix however, and we need to expand our idea's about how economics should work.

@NeutralExistence This is where we part ways, and this is what scares me about the Occupy Wall Street People, the vast majority of these people want to scrap capitalism believeing that Capitalism is the reason for all the worlds problems, and I know that capitalism is the best system for allowing people to raise themselves up from poverty to prosperity, and giving the government more power is a recipe for desaster, its the goverment that caused this mess, why do you think they can fix it?

No one said anything about scrapping Capitalism, one could simply improve on the work of Adam Smith, no need to scrap anything if we can fix the mentality of profit over people, that is the main thing causing so much problems in the Pseudo Capitalist system.
Relying on the markets "invisible hand" isn't a viable choice for a species that seems to prefer profit, over helping his fellow man. However in true Socialism the people gain more control through government.
