The saddest thing with OWS is that they believe they are the 99% when in reality they are a very small percentage of the 99% - maybe .5%
I respectfully disagree. I think the saddest thing is that there are many of the 99% who clearly don't seem to have the mental faculties to work out or even see they are being shafted by corrupt lying warmongers. And yet that doesn't exclude them from the 99% in anyway. Just because they can't see they are being shafted doesn't mean they aren't being shafted.edit on 4/11/11 by Unrivaled1 because: (no reason given)
So if we don't support OWS, we're stewpid?
I guess having a different opinion is also stewpid.
*drool*
Where in my post did i say if one doesn't support OWS they are stupid?

He further pointed to the anti-capitalism protests in the US, and said the 99 percenters in the US will not allow the White House to escape ahead through hostile moves.
"We support the 99 percenters who are opposing the US policies at home and abroad with our maximum power and strength and we will prosecute the US statesmen."

Us?"
It was directed at anyone who has eyes and a brain with the ability to comprehend what was written.
"Those that have argued against your pro-OWS stance?"
Again where did i say that? Oh that's right i didn't say that!
"Methinks you doth protest too much."
Really, i think i don't protest enough.

Gee thanks, at least I'm a useful idiot. What kind of idiot are you? The kind who decides that protesting the ills of this country isn't worth it because of the elite? I feel YOU are being played, into NOT helping.

Anyways, I'de rather do something than being an armchair warrior trying to convince other people not to do something for the betterment of society, Please stop making these threads, we've heard it all already, and this particular soros connection has already been seen and discussed and OWS came out with a statement about it as well, saying it was BS, and they would not accept corporate money at all, so if it gets to them through other channels, thats just more money to prepare for the winter.

This is essentially why there is a "lack of message". And that is why OWS's aren't required to make a more well defined statement that is suitable for the critics of the movement. In essence, if the OWS did provide a message, there would actually be more than a few(house prices, job prospects, being screwed over by bailouts, student loans, increasing distance between the wealthy and everyone else, voices that aren't being heard) then critics would hold power over them by dividing them up into separate camps which would led to a divide and conquer strategy that would led infighting and rendering the movement useless.
Of course the movement can improve on their tactics, but most of all is that they need more heads to join their fight.
They don't owe a better explanation about themselves to anyone. They need to play by their own rules and not by someone else's. To say that the OWS movement has no message is BS.edit on 4-11-2011 by satron because: (no reason given)

Iran fully supports the anti-capitol protests
It MUST be a good thing..
The OWS protesters are being played from forces they can not even comprehend
that want them dead.

Stop trying to change a system just because you can't conform to it.

You’re damn right this is the 3rd or 4th thread I’ve created bashing OWS!! I will do it any and every chance I get because I can!! Unlike most OWS supporters, I have taken an oath to defend my country. My country is under assault by a fringe group of groomed American morons with extremely good funding by George Soros and the like (through use of capitalism I might add).
How many times can I say that it is a complete Logical Fallacy to proclaim that anyone who doesn’t support the lame, ill-informed, ludicrous (if I may) OWS protests does nothing but sit on the sidelines, arm chair quarterback, watch TV, make snow cones, blow bubbles, etc, etc.
I’ve been to so many local Tea Party meetings, rallies, protests and fund raisers I can no longer keep count. I’d bet my next paycheck that I’ve spent more days of my life working for this country than you’ve spent working. Period!! What have you done other than stand on the damn street with a homemade sign (if you've even done that)?
My wife and I raise a family, go to work every day, pay our bills, make time for our kids, etc. We live our lives to the fullest and do the best we can in THE COUNTRY WE LOVE. My country is being hijacked by people who don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground who are full of ideas that have been tried and proven not to work. Do some research about your beliefs, the things you hear from the media and your friends, and the things people, like me, post on this site! Learn some damn history!! The ideas being promoted by OWS DO NOT WORK! Grow up! Come back when you have some solutions rather than criticism.

The second part of that external quote concerns me more than they way they are manipulating the OWS... "... and we will prosecute the US statesmen" .
Prosecute?
"US statesmen"?
IRANIANS?
