Interesting graph.Other differences between the two?=
If i were a boss and was looking for a dedicated employee, would i choose a whiny keyboard commando who sits on his fat butt all day and complains on political forums(On my dime) about everything and does little to nothing to make things better ,
or would i hire a real go getter ,the type of person who is young and full of energy and new ideas, would sacrifice personal comfort and sleep out in a tent for a month or more to bring light to a cause?
Think i'd hire the latter

LMMFAO- thanks for this look inside the pathetic liberal mindset.
"I'd rather hire someone who protests because they want their student loans forgiven and they're upset because other people have more than them."
BTW: I wonder how many occupeeons will list their participation in the bowel movement on their resumes along with their degree in drama? |

Trash
An unfortunate reality. Fair point.
Defacation
An unfortunate occurrence, quite possibly fringe element. Fair point.
Personal liberty
Exactly what OWS desires. Moot point.
Property rights
Gray area. Constitution does not qualify. Government takeover by eminent domain? Weak point.
Corporate Welfare
OWS wants this stopped. United point.
US Constitution
OWS is demanding recognition of 1st. Amendment and "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. United point.
Race
OWS is made up of all races, creeds, and religions. United point.
Income/Education
OWS welcomes all income levels and educational accomplishments. United point.
Marches impeding traffic
All peaceful protests throughout history have used this tactic. Inconvenient yes, but effective. Sometimes the cure can be worse than the ill.
Property vandalism
OWS does not advocate nor encourage this behavior. Fringe elements and rogue operatives. Invalid point.
Business stoppage
A consequential but unavoidable result of a large protest mass. Moot point.
Banning homeless
I have heard this but question its veracity. For all intent and purposes, all OWS participants are homeless therefore how does one differentiate one from another? Unsubstantiated point.
Economic division
OWS does group the 99 and the 1%. Does not the Tea Party practice the same? Glass house point.
I have heard this but wonder

LOL @ more educated...
Nice blanket statement...
How many of the 70% of teap partiers that didn't go to college became successful entrepreneurs??
How many of the "educated" OWS'ers that have passed that false barrier that education is into the workforce with useless "sociology" or "psychology" degrees??

What's the source for this graph? I am trying to figure out how these stats could even be collected. Based on what sample size, etc?

The OWS does indeed advocate and encourage this behavior of vandalizing property. Completely valid point.
Business stoppage like shutting down the port of LA was an openly stated goal, that wasn't an accident or byproduct of a protest. It was completely avoidable, don't start a protest with the goal of shutting down the port and it probably won't happen. |
