Sorry bud, no one owes you a damn thing.

Work two 7.00 per hour jobs for 16 hours per day and you can make enough to live on.

Why did you not ever gain a skill or learn a trade?

I know, someone kept you from learning a skill right?
I saw that ass. He's the Jew hater, right?

We didn't say they were stupid, they are ill informed. They don't even know what they are protesting.

Maybe, those not so young are reminiscing their good olé' days in the 60's, when they hated government. Now they love their President Obama and hate the rich...........some how they are leaving out Hollywood.

hell, it looks like the Russian Revolution of 1917 where the have nots were taking it out on the haves, wanting an end to the current political and financial system in favor of a more equal system.
Wow. At least someone gets it. I guess you and a couple of others are the only ones on this site with brains that function correctly.

I guess protesting about Wall Street accountability sounds a lot better than protesting about not paying their bills...
"read their demands" What demands? Please do post the link to those demands.

Let's see...the typical right wing responses...

They're just dumb kids
They have no real agenda
They don't want to work
They're spoiled rich kids
They just don't want to repay their loans
They're not a grassroots movement
Their numbers are small

These BS talking points have all been debunked, so now it's time to play the race card. How transparent and pathetic the right wing is. Next talking point will be...that these people protesting are not U.S. citizens.

Default Occupy Wall Street Protesters Hurl Anti-Semitic Remarks

Occupy Wall Street Protesters Hurl Anti-Semitic Remarks | toddkinsey.com

A young belligerent union member hurls anti-Semitic remarks at an old Jewish man. These people actually believe they represent 99-percent of the population and this fool claims to be enlightening people intellectually

Do you think the few people at the GOP debate that booed the gay serviceman represent all Republicans?

It wasn't "protesters", it was one kid out of thousands of people. And that kid, who said he was Jewish, told a Jewish guy to go back to Israel because the older guy told the kid to get a job, when he already had one. Not exactly a Mel Gibson rant.
