Raine states in his interview that these protests have something to do with the environment. Huh? They do? How does Occupy Wallstreet, which was supposidly a movement to redistribute wealth suddenly become a tree huggers love fest?
emlapal wrote:What these protesters lack is an education in basic economics. They see the "pie" as finite. It is not finite. The pie will grow if people are willling to work hard enough to make it grow. These misguided folks belive that some of the "rich" people should have their hard earned wealth taken from them and have it given to those who have less. Anybody see a problem with this type of thinking?
I am allowed to have an opinion but if it is different from yours it is completely ignorant and nothing can be said to the contrary.
you know the laptops made by evil corporations like Dell and Apple. By the way, it must suck for all the Occupiers to have to bow down to the corporations to Tweet, post and email on their corporate made devices, while they are wearing their Nike's and sipping on Starbucks as they wait for the next McDonald's run.

Like I said any negativity that comes of this is 100% based on ignorance, there is no other explanation and there is nothing that can be said to the contrary.

it's ok to disagree and have your own opinion
So let me gget this straight...if I may:
I am allowed to have an opinion but if it is different from yours it is completely ignorant and nothing can be said to the contrary. Hmmm...something about that sounds kinda...odd. So what you are saying then is I'm ignorant but you are allowing me to have an opinion anyway? Cool....thanks for that. (So much for open mindedness of the Occupiers).
emlapal wrote:Sure, you are out there protesting things you dislike but what do you expect to come of it? Really, what are your expectations? Are you expecting the corporations to shut down? Should the CEO's vacate their positions and walk out into the street and hand you piles of money as they tell their 25,000 employees they not longer have jobs because a few thousand whiners don't like how things are going for them?
emlapal wrote:The truth of the matter is that the Occupiers (hey..I thought libs hated occupiers) are causing more problems then they are helping to resolve...which is zero. Where do we start? How about the millions it is costing taxpayers in overtime pay for the police to control these mobs. Do you have an answer for how you are going to pay that bill?
emlapal wrote:people who are supposedly protesting greed are getting ripped off by fellow protesters and moreover, their laptops etc. are getting stolen too...you know the laptops made by evil corporations like Dell and Apple.
