The world must be coming to an end because you've posted something that makes sense, and I find myself in agreement with it!

Idiotic Demands of the Wall Street Protestors - The Rush Limbaugh Show

To avoid even more about those kids scroll down two paragraphs to see their list and some discussion of how silly they really are.
They have Not made any list of demands, anyone claiming they have a list that represents the majority of protesters is a Liar. They are made up of a wide range of different groups and have no Leaders as we would define one and they are holding off on demands for good reasons. Sooooo, as usual the only Idiot is Good Old Rush and of-course his Ditttohead followers.

These jids. How many of them have had a successful career? How many of them actually ran a business, was a boss responsible for a number of people and assets?
How many of them have lived on their own without mom and dad supporting them for any real amount of time?
I had an economy major staying with me last year. Smartest person I ever met. But not a lick of common sense. Could not balance a checkbook or figure out how to budget himself. Could not teach him that you never count money before its in your pocket. Well if I work overtime or if I do this or that. Only problem is Overtime is always a maybe. Thats youth.
Young people are our future and they have energy to spare, they just lack real life experience.
You base your opinion of an entire generation on ONE person?????


That's silly.



How many want a successful career...probably all of them...so they want change.


How many want to run a business SUCCESSFULLY..probably some of them....so they want change.


How many are still living at home because they can't FIND jobs and have HUGE education debt....probably some.....so they want change.

A person does NOT need "life experience" if they can see what's going on in this country and have the idealism and hope to fight the establishment and right the wrongs.....

Too bad some people WITH life experience are content to sit on thie lazy arses and let this country flounder...

Oh snap, you mean that government job I had for decades and the paychecks, the building I went to, the work I did, the tangible products I created, they were all imaginary?

i think the general theme is that the government needs to stop catering to wall street and the financial industry.

I think there was an enumerated list posted on the first page which spelled out a few specific things.

To a Large part you are correct, the idea is they are trying to get people to open their eyes and then hopefully make some changes.
