Thank heavens, at least someone out there gets it. Its sad when people on ATS who actually demand evidence, sources, credibility and proof for big claims are more and more becoming the minority. People here now just full on accept any conspiracy story/prediction from any random dude, who they know nothing about, with ZERO evidence or sources JUST because it fits in with their personal world view, or sounds exciting to them, or they want it to be true.
People here will tell you till they're blue in the face how everyone else in the world is a sheep for blindly believing a single thing mass media/govts/etc say, yet they're perfectly willing to believe random bloke number 89,890 on the internet who post a story with insane claims of conspiracy/doom/yadayada and of course never any evidence, expertise, credibility or proof. Talk about irony.
This community used to actually have at least some great investigation and what not, now it's just another joke where any random attention whore who makes up a doom and gloom story/prediction, with no evidence or credibility to back it up, can come and get their 15minutes in the spotlight and have tons of people eating right out of their hands. Sad really.
OP, see you on the 6th when nothing happens and you make an excuse or change the date or come up with some new bogus story or just disappear like the rest of the know-it-all bogus prophets here.edit on 30-10-2011 by darkest4 because: (no reason given)
Tell me - why should I give a rat's ass about the Tea Party or Nancy Pelosi?
Care to tell me how you back up your claim? Or do you have a bias against Tea Party. Let me guess, you listened to CNN...Communist News Network, and Nancy Pelosi's claim that Tea Partiers were terrorists destined to create violence?
Which were for many generations aspects of your society to be much admired but in this age of corporatism these values are not ebbing away - they've gone.

First i believe that OWS is a legitimate protest movement.. how would crippling the central banking system be in favour of the elite?
How is it a "legitimate protest"? How does OWS expect to "cripple the central banking system" by standing there and yelling at buildings on Wall Street and beating drums at them?

It's also Bank Transfer Day on the 5th of November i.e withdraw your money from the banks at the same time. The Bankers/Elite are creating a false flag crash of the system, which they will blame on the protestors . ......

It wasn't really the Soros part of that sentence I was pointing out to you - it was the 'anti corporate communist agitators' part...lol. What do you think fascism is? It's corporatism pure and simple. Who votes for board members? And yet these corporations are dictating to our governments. That's not a republic and its not a democracy - it is a fascist state.
Now as for that American culture (I was grateful for not being a part of) I was referring to what you had actually said:

I was not referring to your later addition;

This is what your pro corporate stance achieves.

As long as these corporations get away with this kind of exploitation citizens in America and the emerging economies have no chance of improving their quality of lives. Re-level the playing field - demand decent wages and conditions for all the world's employees and then maybe the States and other western economies may actually be able to compete with them again.

When you voice your opposition to people who want to stop the practice, and continue vocal support for those who engage in the practice.
Are you for or against sweatshop labor, ThirdEye? Should companies that indulge in sweatshop labor face penalties or not? Do the women and girls - and yeah, it's pretty much all female - working these places deserve a living wage and fair treatment, or not?
THese aren't "iffy" questions. They're plain and simple, yes-or-no issues.edit on 31/10/2011 by TheWalkingFox because: (no reason given)

Again, I never said I was for "sweat shops". But then, not all corporations are sweat shops in Indonesia are they? It's a typical Marxist rant against Capitalism, lumping all corporations into the same category. And yet, here you sit typing on your computer made by a corporation, and likely not in the USA either. Or at least some parts.
