In jackin' with OWS peeps on Facebook, I have discovered that some are plain loony! The rest(on the street), seem to be vagrants/homeless, the perpetually unemployed, and criminals.

OWS is yet another diversion from what is really going on. The media, owned by a specific group, is distracting the public from the bigger picture which is the obvious mess that the administration has made of everything else. The sheep have flocked to downtown locations in many cities to join the bandwagon. Not sure about your cities, but when the news covered it here in Louisville it looked more like a circus sideshow melting pot of misfits.

At a time of "PEACE at ANY COST" he quietly set in motion the gears of rearmament, and at a critical moment helped Great Britian AND Russia with "Lend- Lease' that likely was the difference between their ultimate defeat and allowed them to stay in the fight. And on the words of several scientests he ordered the begining of the project that ultimately probably saved close to 200,000 Allied and 2,000,00+ Japanese lives by AVOIDING an actual invasion of the Japanese home Islands even after his own life while steadfastly DEMANDING "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER', and acheiving it. He oversaw the "Arsenal of Democracy' shoved into hyperdrive that simply smothered the AXIS forces under an unbelieveable avalanche of men, planes, ships, tanks, food, ammo, trucks, kitchen sinks and toilet paper that utterly destroyed them. All else aside, GOOD ENOUGH for me !
Roosevelt was a socialist. Period.
Tom you probably wouldn't be where you are now if it wasn't for him. Something to think about. EB
You seem to be down on the OWS crowd but was all for the tea party when they was protesting in Washington. It seems they are both protesting the same thing, for the same reason but you can't seem to get behind the OWS group. In all actuality there are probably tea party members in the OWS group too. Both groups are fighting for the peoples rights to life, liberty, and justice for all. NOT just the richest 1%. These people are fighting for jobs that was taken from this country and sent to other countries, because of Greed! EB
Beave, remember " Stringbean" on Hee Haw? I grew up watching this show. One thing I remember this man saying..in a skit when he was reading letters from back home..I can't remember the jest of the letter, i do remember one sentence, he read, " people are like catfish, they are on the bottom, and like to stay on the bottom.
So, go pick up a sign..please post a picture so we know it is true and protest with those whinning azz little folks who want others to bail them out for making dumb azz choices in their life. Actually, ask their parents if they can move back home...lol I bet that would be funny.

Simple fact that every corporation acquisition, take over or merger immediately goes into "the economy of scale" which is a euphemism for laying people off and exporting American jobs. Both Romney and Cain made their bundles by firing people, lots of people. The other candidates they "debate" with are advocating that.
There is no point in arguing whether "my" President is more or less corrupt than "your" President. American corporate business is currently doing very well; so where are the jobs and who is really responsible for not creating more of them. A little less fat at the top would do us all good. So you work for your nut, that's only fair, but having no work available that is hurting everybody, and the funds are there in the economy to fix that and do it without bleeding any honest person.
Been a hippie all my adult life, and always worked, always paid my taxes, all of my taxes, never a day's unemployment or general assistance. That has always been true for most of us "hippies" too. Some few got a bunch of headlines, the rest of us have always worked honest jobs, and did our duty responsibly. We aren't the ones sucking the life out of this economy and never have been. Hey I got high a few times, I never hurt anybody else in the process. Big deal considering how much alcohol the rest of America thinks is cute. That is your American drug problem and it is an expensive one.
I am sick and tired of having my integrity smeared by a wealthy special interest group that is out to take everybody to the cleaners. A lot of you guys gotta watch your sources of information a whole lot closer. You are being fed a line of crap, one with a whole lot of real big money behind it. They are playing a whole lot of America for suckers.
OWS is for jobs, those people want to work. You work, I work, the vast majority of them want to. Think about that very carefully. There are fringes but hey! nobody dares look real close at the fringes of the Tea Party either; so balance your outlooks a bit.
Nah beave i don't have to kiss ass. I make sure I am an asset to my company. At 52, i still outwork the young boys because they are like those whom you whine for, the least significate bit. Two, i have enough money socked away to last me for years..as long as I stay healthy.
Futhermore, if worst comes to worst, I can go anywhere in the world and get a job doing what I do. My wife is a teacher, she will have no problem...I'm willing to relocate and move away from mommy...is your siblings?

Perhaps a "civil war" along economic lines is the answer. Basically it boils down to that now; bankers and administrators able to create "credit' out of THIN AIR that they are REWARDED with very REAL VALUE in return, and amassing MEGA BUCKS and political power to boot. How to "balance' that? Don`t think it can be done...so it will continue untill something "snaps'...ENJOY the "result".
Looks like OWS "crapped" out. Unlike the Tea Party, their "occupy moments" cost the tax payers millions. This seems to set well with liberals and they scream for more equality for these pigs in a blanket.
Yes, literally:Quote:
