I see the Occupy Movement as resulting in one of two things:
1) American Civil War
2) Denial of Constitutional Rights to American Citizens
The Occupy movement is a good idea with a wrong execution. You want to change the system, good for you, so do I, but do it from the inside after you have proven your worth. You want to destroy the system, continue protesting, the cops will keep doing their jobs and enforcing security and the rights of ALL.
While you fight to bring down the 1%, I will keep supporting them because they provide me everything I want; a structured society. In return, I provide them with what they want; money.
Edit: Sure the economy is bad, sure I would love to live in the hey-days where credit flowed like water. But you know what, there are jobs out there. Work can be found. Money can be made. I may be a young-adult, but I am smart enough to see the oppurtunity so many claim is not there. I don't believe the Occupy movement want's to end greed, they just want a larger piece of the pie. What your entitled to is life, anything you do or don't do after that is up to you, but don't blame others for what you cannot accomplish.

I would like to believe that something will be achieved as a result of the OWS movement. But in my opinion untill the majority of the population agree to a list of changes they would like to see, and
agree if they are not met they will go on a general strike which would bring the government to its knees. But thats just me hopinh everything can be rsolved Peacefully.edit on 21-11-2011 by Bixxi3 because: (no reason given)

Don't you mean SOROs pockets are too deep to allow his OWS to fail ??
I disagree.
If the 'protesters' continue to be themselves .... to demand something for nothing ... to demand a free ride ... to pee all over the public parks ... to continue to poop on cars in Manhattan ... to continue to use their children as human shields in DC .... the continue to block people from getting to their jobs ... to continue to steal from small business' near their protests ... (etc etc) ... if they continue to act the way they are then they are definately going to fail because the average American doesn't want morons to go running around claiming to represent them (that ol' ... we are the 99% bunk).
Either Soros' money will make sure it is a success ... or the protesters themselves will ruin it.
(they already are)
Flame away.

What part of 'Soros is funding' ', The Communists of America'are funding' don't you understand??
It was all documented and out in the public.
The people out in OWS think they are all free thinkers who are doing something on their own.
But it's all being orchestrated by SOROS and others. They are pawns. Or zombies if you like.

I'm not against individuals earning huge amounts of cash and enjoying the benefits from their labor. What I'm upset about are large corporations like G.E., the 2nd largest corporation in the world, which paid ZERO taxes.
Recently I've begun to think, "How much do people really need?" When I see a vacuous airhead like Kim Kardashian spend over a million dollars on a fake wedding, Michael Moore's HUGE vacation estate, or Obama's Billion dollar campaign war chest; baby I'm ALL about "Tax the rich."
It's the ORGANIZED theft of our nation's wealth that I'm against. Lobbies that buy Congressmen and Senators so that they'll pass legislation favorable to them, and them alone. That's not Democracy either; that's La Cosa Nostra. TPTB have their own version of "this thing of ours" and they have been perfecting it, shaping the rules to benefit themselves because they are in a position to do it, for a long time. It's affecting different people in different ways, but I think people are waking up to the fact that they are being played, that the system is rigged, and the American Dream - for most people - is just that; a dream.
