We are the 99% - Page 2

Roald, I agree with you. The fact that the protests stopped briefly so people could go buy the the iPhone 4S the day it came out is garbage. This is so stupid. How many people here are in the "1%"? I read an article where the line was made for the top 1% was just over $300,000...

this is a stupid protest.

You are probably buying in to the way the media could be trying to portray the protesters of OWS. There may be some dumbasses there, of course. Yet, that doesn't mean there are plenty of people with legitimate views. Lots of movements start out as decentralized and fragmented until they develop some sort of way of unifying.

I think the OP makes no sense and is how a lot of ignorant people think about the OWS protests.

LOL so much bullshit going on in here. Please keep it up, your ignorance only fuels our cause.

This movement is the twin brother of the Tea Party.

All part of the same soup. Some good vegetables mixed with a bunch of rotten ones makes for a pretty garbage soup.

It seems like everyone opposed to ows is opposed because of blatant lies and misunderstandings. I don't understand how one could fundamentally be against this movement if they actually took the time to read the declaration on the ows site, or actually went to a protest and took an OBJECTIVE view of what is going on. I have only seen ONE news article (not exaggerating) accurately describe why people are pissed. The American media (owned in every sense of the word by the 1%) has done an extraordinary job of bullshitting how this movement is nothing more than a hippy revival, a uniting movement for lazy low-class welfare workers, and a new place for the homeless to shelter.
