See that's exactly why I think y'all are the ones who are being played. How is protesting the elite, and in essence, the NWO, playing into their hands? One would gather from your statement, that we're not supposed to protest them.

Well that did it for me. Anytime Jesse and his gang are supporting something, you can bet it isn't a good thing. Him and Al Sharpton need to disappear. They cause more trouble than anyone.

He played a big role along side Dr. King during the civil rights movement.... you don't support that either?

Good to know.
You know, I'm seriously astonished at the amount of anti-OWS stuff on ATS. You would have thought that this is what most people here always wanted, with all the hate and opposition of the government everywhere (and rightly so). But then once some people actually try to do something about it, you get several threads a day trying their absolute best to make them stop or paint them in a bad light. I can't quite make sense out of it.edit on 4-11-2011 by Arsenalwa because: (no reason given)

If you aren't doing nothing, then I'd assume that you're out in the streets because as citizens that's where we need to go to get change. That's where the occupations are.

If they actually fix the problem, who freaking cares? you can make it about who supports who and who might have funded who, it doesn't matter if they actually fix the problems being outlined.
get over it, don't support them? fine, just shut the hell up about it already.
We get it. you don't support them or their goals, fine, you can shut up about it now because you aren't going to convince any of us that the problem is too big to fix, you aren't going to convince me that corporate fraud and bank bailouts are ok because Soros might have a finger in the pie.
GET OVER IT
If Soros wants to pay me to go fight for what's right, why the hell not?
Who's the one being played? not OWS and none of us who support their goal(s). Time to look in the mirror and maybe ask yourself why you guys are wasting so much time over this.

Even if they are being played, they still need to be out there. It's a lot better than doing nothing at all, that to me, is a bigger error.
No, no, by all means let's all go home and have movie night and TALK about protesting on ATS. That's MUCH better than being in the streets trying to raise awareness.
Logical Fallacy. Just because someone doesn't support OWS doesn't mean they are 'doing nothing.' I am simply suggesting you put aside your personal reason for supporting OWS and look into who is pulling the strings. Would you still be out there if you knew you were doing nothing more than furthering more of the same thing you’re against? Because you are!

how exactly is exercising their patriotic duty to protest and petition the government, playing into their hands?
the only people playing into their hands are people like you and others posting this same tired old anti-ows crap.
guilt by association didn't work before, it's not going to work now.

Universal health care is a broad concept that has been implemented in several ways. The common denominator for all such programs is some form of government action aimed at extending access to health care as widely as possible and setting minimum standards. Most implement universal health care through legislation, regulation and taxation. Legislation and regulation direct what care must be provided, to whom, and on what basis. Usually some costs are borne by the patient at the time of consumption but the bulk of costs come from a combination of compulsory insurance and tax revenues. Some programs are paid for entirely out of tax revenues. In others tax revenues are used either to fund insurance for the very poor or for those needing long term chronic care.

A wider international comparison of 16 countries, each with universal health care, was published by the World Health Organization in 2004 [7] In some cases, government involvement also includes directly managing the health care system, but many countries use mixed public-private systems to deliver universal health care.

Yes, that is correct. But they want more of it. They want Universal health care, not just subsidized insurance plans which tell people when to off themselves for the sake of their families( Olbermann style)
