I can only talk from my own experience of what I saw. I think it's a good thing, people protesting , debating , communicating, pretty much what we do on here, but in real life.

This is like, the 3rd or 4th thread that you have created to demonize the OWS movement,
If you look at the actual dollar values that the tides foundation has donated to adbusters, its minimal and can't fund anything.
And who really cares? There is a big monster that ows is facing, and its better to stand up to it than to be beaten around. Please do some actual research, money doesn't mean anything. Money cannot deter this movement from its targets, because there are many.
Just like the argument that "they have no goal", but, there is so much that needs to be fixed, having one goal is hard other than "FIX THE GOD DAMN SYSTEM", because we're getting screwed.
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.

The Occupy movement will not change the system, but it may wake a few people up and it is providing a platform for the discussion of alternatives, again a good thing.
So to those worried that the Occupy movement will change the world into a Marxist/Communist hell hole. I believe you can sleep easy. The current system isn't going anywhere. Just more of the same, more wars, more lying politicians, more bank bail outs, more inequality, more exploitation. All the good stuff that your desperate to hold on to.

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)

REAL LIFE as you call it is, getting up every morning, and taking care of your own business. No one ever said life is fair, and some of us are getting real tired of working our butts off to pay for someone else to sit on their butts. We have our own families to try to house, feed, clothe and educate. I'm running out of time, money and patience.

Ask yourselves this question: Why would Soros fund the NYPD if he was interested in #ows succeeding?
This isn't about left and right.

This isn't brain surgery either.

But all I've been seeing on the front page of this f*cking website is anti-OWS right-wing propaganda.
I wish I could give your post a million stars and make it as an OP
Yeah isn't it convenient that 95% of the people on ATS that are against OWS are also right wingers that don't see anything wrong with the world today. Boo-hoo, like that fool slayer.
