I don't have to "diminish" Occupy,....they did quite well in they regard without any help from anyone else. At one time they had some credibility, but that was lost quickly. It's not just MY opinion, it is the opinion of the majority of Americans.

Do some reading.
Calling people losers and then telling them to get off their high horse. Which is it?


If we took a vote on the most hate filled poster, you'd probably win it.

Are you going to discuss your topic or discuss a poster? As for yours, or others, opinion of me I could give a flying ratzazz. So either discuss your own topic or feel free to turn off your computer.

Some people just hate FACTS. Occupy had a lot of public support for several months, but that support quickly vanished because of the Occupy antics. Now the support for Occupy isn't even worth trying to measure. Polling agencies refuse to attempt measuring public support simply because there is so little.

Occupy squandered any public support it may have had, and most people (especially in New York) view them as a nuisance.

Occupy is a perfect example of a good idea turned bad.

Well I'd say its really hard to keep up your PR when you've been blacked out.

Since I've got you talking. What do you think of the police brutality during the protest? Do you condone it?

If the Economy is not improving. And our GDP seems to be topping out, how are wages ever going to increase unless at the hands of our largest employers? Please explain that to me Sol.

Millions of Americans are falling into debt as a result of the actions of a few. Whether you want to blame it on policy, greed, or other economic factors, facts are facts. Our economy has slowed.

"Blacked out"?

I think police brutality has no place in our society,...and the same applies to destruction of public property, public defecation on police cars, etc.,...etc.,...See much more at: The Occupy Wall Street criminal rap sheet

Criminally blacked out. Journalist were arrested and sometimes abused. One was shot (bean bag shell) for simply filming the police.

Also. If you want to talk about the protester's rap sheet, that of the police is even longer. I'm assuming you have just as much disdain for the police force. Seeing that the actions of an individual are representative of an entire group.

There was a company in the Wall Street area offering jobs to the OWPer. Guess what, not one of them wanted a job. Why is it that all the peace loving movements are over taken by anarchists and radicals?

But you didn't answer the question. And while it might've been a nice gesture, it does nothing for the overall job market.

And why would someone who opposes Wall Street and its practices then go and work for the enemy (in their eyes)?

And lets get to the just of what your saying. Your again calling protesters people who don't want to work. I'm clearly a supporter and I do work. The other protester I knew personally worked as well. He even offered some of his services for free.

But,...NONE OF THE ABOVE ARE A CONNECTED TO OCCUPY ACTIVITIES.

Why do you want to change the subject?

The hundred or so activities posted on "Occupy Rap Sheet" were related to Occupy activities.

Peculiar you do not wish to discuss them.

How does starting fires, throwing rocks, and breaking store windows bring about change?
