    Ok Nugent, I know you're doing this. I don't want to be diverted to your forum. Look Ted, I'm a PJ fan. We're just not into that gun toting, name calling, hard core right wing thing. Will you please just send me back to the PJ Forum? Thanks.

    If only you were in the middle of this trying to get home...you would feel different

    Ok, I edited my post. I'm just saying let's stop the violence, both in the streets and, figuratively speaking, on the forum. I always feel that way... but this isn't about me.

  • The folks occupying Wall Street, or whatever street, are protesting the inequities in our society.

    If you believe that the millionaires should be given more tax breaks then go ahead and support the rich.

    If you believe that the unemployed and the poor need help then listen up.

    Violence will beget violence.
    Hold On

    Two years ago I suspected this would happen. I'm actually surprised it didn't happen sooner, but I think you're right with the sitting down part, though I don't see many in office rushing to arrange meetings.

    dude ... you see things the way you want to see them ... it's cool ... but these protestors need to eat - you telling me not one business has benefited from a massive influx of people!? ... c'mon ...
  • Food is being provided to the protesters for free thanks to donations. They don't need to go to local restaurants, delis, etc. to get something to eat.

    chicago had a big to do yesterday as well

    they interviewed a few poeople on tv...

    one guy was wanting more stuff for the disabled.....saying there were 60M of them in the country

    this other chick was saying we shouldn't be cutting the deficit and that we need to stop the bailouts and corporate tax breaks and put more money into reducing unemployment.

    so basically, if I had an issue, I could just go to one of these, make a sign, and join in?
