BEST I COULD DO
If the Occupy Protesters weren't mostly made of brats and college students, not to mention if they were any ways productive (you're doing it wrong brahs), then I would somewhat care. Until then, whatever.
How does being a college student in any way mean they are not being productive?
Is college tuition somehow limited to young folk?
Sorry to break it to you but the people making this fuss are being way more productive than the majority of those who won't even bother to go to the polls to elect officials and then moan when someone worse than before is put in place.
Lol, nothing, it's probably because I am one, so I'm bound to point my finger at my own group. It was a shitty generalization, I know, so I apologize.
The point is, the protesters are doing nothing productive with their protests. They are screaming at the wrong people in the U.S. If you have issues with corporations, either you try to organize a boycott with your group on refusing to buy from them (good luck with that) or you march on Washington. The way the Democratic government is set up in this Capitalistic country is that the only way to push around corporations is by using the government or money. Simple as they. Corporations could give two shits less about protesters on Wall Street. Protesters are pissing off some small businesses as well (not all, but some).
@Warsaw: Yeah, but will the protesters go to the polls when the time comes to vote? Or will they continue protesting to become what you just said is less productive? That's how I see it going down anyways.
You see, going to the polls won't solve anything unless the people they vote in have nothing to do with special interest groups' lobbying and the current parties in power. A boycott also will not solve the issue they are having. They don't just want business out of government, they want the law changed so that it can't be in government ever again. I don't see any Congress people or Presidential candidates rushing to make that happen, do you?
That said, I didn't mention anything about things being productive or not, watch your phrasing and check your quotes there, bro. I just want to see police get hosed because watching them trip over themselves would be hilarious. I mean, cops and security guards do tend to come from the shallow end of the gene pool, the same area where your common thug comes from. They just get a badge and legal justification to beat people up.
You've not even bothered to look into the main objectives of Occupy Wall street.
Their problem isn't the business' per say.
They have three main objectives:
1.Get the money out of politics, currently lobbying is done by "if you do this i'll give you a wad of cash", Not "You should do this because it will improve this/remove this fault"
2.Reinstate a provision which was revoked during Clinton's era which stopped banks taking stupidly risky gambles and then having to basicly reorganize itself to clear a debt that should never have existed in the first place.
3. close a little known loophole where politicians would make investments in [Denver is it?] that would then have provisions put through under the table allowing said politicians to gain even more from their investment whilst everyone else has to deal with the bullshit happening else where.
I severely suggest before replying to this that you actually look up what all this is about rather than saying Hurr students who don't amount to nothing hurr durr.
They've got full rights to complain since the generation before then fucked the economy so badly and have left it to the new generation to fix it.
E:
This is PFR not politics.

And I agree. Our generation does have the entire right to bitch about what the last generation fucked up on. However, of all the people to do this, these protesters aren't the best. They're crude, rash, disrespectful to the wrong people in situations, provocative, and are not well connected to entities that can't actually threaten the people they're trying to gain attention from. They aren't the working or middle class. Oh, and guess what else? The problem with the entire protest is simply that they're placing all of the blame on the large-scale entities like Corporations and Government, when in fact the remaining half of our issues came from the taxpayers and adult citizens of the last generation. You can keep blaming Bush or whatever President you want, you can blame the companies you see as another Enron, you can blame the banks all you want too (I've done this fair share enough as it is), but when the remaining half is actually the people who the larger entities were basing their judgments from in half of their own decisions, well, the blame better come full-circle.

Holy moly
How come n00b didn't get a warning for an insanely long quote? I got one a few years back.
That's fucking genius...
I've seen one with a backhoe doing the same thing, both in and out.
a link to the image instead of the img tags would have worked too. the only reason i comment at all is because when i saw that i couldnt figure out why it was necessary to quote an image that makes the page twice as long, but i didnt say anything.
it just seemed unnecessary.
Fixed it, I didn't realize the one extra long post on a buried page nobody will look at in a +1 thread was worth 2 more posts to discuss!
Has been tested on Mythbusters :P

All those who give a shit raise your hands.
Oh, look no one raised their hand.
*raises hand*
Count me in for hand raising action against old internet things.
*Joins and raises both hands because he's cool.*
Oh are we raising our hands? That's cool.... *raises hand*
Who cares if it's old, as long as some of us find it funny, who gives a flip?
Is it too late to raise my hand? *raise*
*raises foot*
Am I doing it right?
Its sad how accurate that is...
Haha. Fake or not, that's hilarious.
