@skittlesareyum48 Polls indicate a majority of Americans agree with the protesters and think OWS is a good and positive idea. You're projecting your own ignorance onto those you disagree with.

You think it's wrong for someone to exercise their Constitutional rights? Seriously? Do you really hate freedom that much, or have you somehow convinced yourself that the Constitution only applies to those you agree with?

What do we want? CHANGE! No more wars for money greed and power. Where are the weapons of mass destruction? Americans are tired of the 1% making choices for them selves and acting like it is for the 99%!

@egeek10 protesting IS a constitutional right---see the first amendment.

Americans DO agree with the efforts of OWS because they see the problems caused by economic disparity and a system that rewards the failures of the rich while punishing everyone else. Of course, they haven't been turned into corporate lackeys and stooges like you.

@WRCis The reason for the repeat (which is called "mic-check") is that they're not legally allowed to use any amplification. Admittedly it is a bit annoying to have to stop after each phrase and have it repeated, but its the only way everyone in the large crowds can hear what is being said without the use of a PA system. Also, there are no leaders, anyone can speak, and their words will then be repeated so that everyone can hear, and then decide if they agree or disagree with the speaker.

you guys can fuck off, yeah great idea put the government in even more control over the economy because they are really trustworthy when it comes to regulation, regulation caused this mess, governments creating schemes which encouraged lending to people who could not pay back their debts, for the purpose of raising home ownership, which in turn created the housing bubble which in turn sparked off this whole crisis.
