"As Occupy Wall Street protesters entered their 18th day calling for equality and government reform in New York City's financial district, 2,700 miles away Moscow residents joined in solidarity among other nationwide protests. Moscow resident Mel Leviton spearheaded an Occupy Moscow rally through Facebook that ran noon-7 p.m. in Friendship Square."
Who is Mel Leviton and where are the Russians?
Dang Wikipedia! You're right that seems to be Moscow, Idaho.
Well, few countries have the Trust Fund babies who can afford to sit around playing bongo drums all day long. For the most part, outside the U.S. and a few European countries, people get up, take a shower, and then go to work.
Winter is coming; the bongo players will eventually have to go indoors.
Feel the same way about the teabaggers.
Go figure.
Trust fund babies? How about, like your teabaggers, they're making time for something that they think is important.

My teabaggers? Point out the post where I claim to be a Tea Party supporter. I note that the Tea Party has made a political impact in the latest elections. Will the Trust Fund babies do likewise? I doubt it.
The Wall Street Journal reported on a couple of surveys of the OWS people that showed that the OWS are of the same leftist mentality that go and disrupt G8 meetings.
Go and bang on your bongo if it makes you feel better.
Are you telling me there is not PLENTY of people actively seeking and willing to work? Even people with degrees are struggling to find menial jobs never mind a job in the field they trained for. And with tv programmes being shown here in the UK offering jobs to young people in Starbucks, Argos etc and having thousands of people apply it shows you that a lot of people are desperate to work and don't really care where.
The Wall Street Journal this week reported that many farm jobs are going begging in places like Idaho (potatoes) and Georgia (peanuts). The OWS bongo beaters won't take these jobs however, since they are far from a Starbucks and the national media outlets.
So, Paul in Dundee, what is your recommendation to a young OWS bongo beater, who has a B.A. in Bongo Performance, and wants to be employed at, say US$100,000 per year? Does the government force a company to hire this person just because?
There is jobs going but not no where near enough, 50+ people applying for every one vacancy. You seem to think it a piece of p*** to get a job, I can clearly see plenty of good people from where I live trying desperately to find employment and severely struggling to get even a menial job.
Well maybe in Dundee there is mass unemployment, but looking out my window I see a country where they import labourers from Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan and etc. to do the jobs the locals won't do. Thus, a local who is unemployed has chosen to be unemployed.
The OWS bongo-players are willfully unemployed. Don't blame corporations for the actions of the lazy.
Yet you're behind a computer. You're just as lazy as those so-called bongo players. Get off the computer and do something about it.
Unemployment in Leeds is currently around 4% and youth unemployment is currently around 4%, and my sister recently got a job at a school despite not going to college or university.. though understandably not everywhere is fortunate enough to have such fantastic figures (and Dundee is a bit of a dump)
Getting a job is hard, fair enough, but not impossible. It may take months, but you will find a job eventually. And if you can't, then go somewhere else. Places like York saw a reduction in their unemployed in 2011, they are doing something right and aren't even in the South East?
And British tabloids are hardly the place to get reliable information from. They are well known for over-exaggerating a problem and scare-mongering.

I do a large part of my work behind a computer. Get over it.
Does that work include inane ranting?
