The open drug use, sex bathroom use on a police car etc is a problem and is not conducive to get ones point across in a serious manner. Its more like a flop house/hippy free love kind of event.
Which is worse. Them sitting in camps, or what's happening to this country? Please reply to THIS post before jumping back into the discussion.

Bingo.

A guy can strip naked in the airport and is praised by posters. The guy didn't even get prosecuted. Why? Because the judge ruled the man was excercising his right to protest and free speech.

The American people aren't angry, only the stupids who took out tens of thousands in loans to go to college for a degree in fields that had no job openings and are too good to get their prissy hands dirty doing any type of work that requires manual labor....

If only it were that simple...

How much do you think manual labor jobs pay these days? Do you believe there are an abundance of manufacturing jobs? Why are Americans who have been working for YEARS unable to find jobs??

Do you seriously think this is an issue of people being lazy??

So in a college kiddie mind the only manual labor jobs are manufacturing jobs...

Ever hear of plumbers, carpenters, mechanics, stone masons, bosuns mates, bakers etc etc etc???

Because they refuse to take a job that pays less than their previous job -or- the jobs were outsourced (ALA Apple to China)...

No, but those used to be the staple of the middle class. You don't go to college for most manual labor jobs You go to trade school. What do you have against an education anyway? Anf FYI, even plumbers, carpenters, and mechanics are out of work.

Yep. Again, check the unemployment rate as a country. Check the unemployment/underemployment rate for college grads. I believe your just simply late on what is going on in this country.

Because they refuse to take a job that pays less than their previous job -or- the jobs were outsourced (ALA Apple to China)...

If you work all day, and STILL aren't able to squeak out a living, your grinding your wheels.

No, stuck up elitists in many ways....
Stuck up elitist? That's contradictory to the whole movement.


Your clearly just stuck on the political talking points of whoever you listen to.
