Any protest and organazation that allows "FUCK THE TROOPS" Pick-it signs, needs to be cunmt fucked with a broken splintery broom stick and smashed several times in the face with a baseball bat.

Wallstreet marchers are a bunch of pissed off ignorant hippies!

[KɅΞW]

This might be why they are protesting (http://www.businessinsider.com/what-wall-street-protesters-are-so-angry-about-2011-10?op=1)

You're right, because the actions of one person define an entire group...

[Blackmage]

So, you're saying that an organization NOT doing anything to stop such actions doesn't support it? At best/worst, they are supporting it from not caring enough to do anything about it. But, yes, the actions of the individual acting in the name of the group DOES define the group.

[KɅΞW]

I have to agree with Nemesis on this. The protest is basically about corporation greed and the dark side of capitalism, I don't think the protesters actually have any issues with the troops. Speaking of which, I have yet to see this picket sign Mikey spoke of, have anyone else seen it?

[Fluffy Frufflebottoms]

When you condemn entire movements based on the words and actions of a few people on matters unrelated to the purpose of the movement, then you're an even bigger problem than the people you're condemning. In the same way that media and loud individuals took a constitutionalist and economically conservative Tea Party and turned it into an aggregation of right wing social extremists, these same media organisations, and these same loud people will aim to take an Occupy Wall Street movement demanding accountability and action against government corruption, and turn it into a leftist mess of welfare recipients and disgruntled youth.

It's disappointing that even in these times, the people suffering under the economic and political corruption of this country will bury those who carry a message of reform under mounds personal and irrelevant criticism. It must be easy being corrupt in a country where the majority of the people you exploit will vociferously defend you from dissenting voices.

[Osage]

protests never actually get anything done. it's always just a bunch of jobless hippies spewing some nonsense about "corporate America". it's just a waste of time.

Negative. I live in Madison, WI, where you might have heard on national news a couple of months ago with the MASS amount of recalls of Republican House members due to protests against them because of the "Budget Bill" that Governor Walker introduced illegally. Protests do a SHIT-TON when you have the momentum behind them.

However, protests against Corporations are a different thing than a protest against Government. Government members get their jobs from the people, whereas Corporations, well, it doesn't matter if you protest against them, nothing will happen to them. Corporations have become way too smart by dividing their companies into smaller entities and controlling the media. Go here for instance http://www.cjr.org/resources/?c=disney . (betcha you didn't know Disney owned 80% of ESPN) Although it may be media related, the same is true for almost every other corporation.

One person that holds up a "Fuck the Troops" sign in a protest WILL become the image of that entire group due to the media's focus on that one thing. The common American is not smart enough to divulge the information needed to realize that one person does not define an entire group of individuals.

Edit: Oh, and btw, the recall of Governor Walker is starting 11/15/11. Although I don't think he'll get recalled, and if he does it'll be ridiculously close, it'll still be a national momentum shift in Democrat-Republican values.

[Blackmage]

First off, I'd like to say, Fuck the Troops is not why I'm against OWS. I mainly don't think they're going far enough, but I'm also somewhere around anarchist politically. I had not heard about FTT in OWS until this thread, and what I can find on a quick google is saying it probably wasn't from this rally. I've also been led to believe that if it happened, most protestors would be vehemently outraged. What I see is them doing this exactly right, showing it's falsified and saying they don't agree in any case.

However, an organization is responsible for the actions of it's members, as members are what make an organization. If they disagree with some actions, they should do something about it. If it's small enough, they can stop it and make sure it stays a isolated incident. However, if it's a hot topic, as FTT would be/is, they will be forced to either agree or disagree with it being part of their image. If they agree, they can do whatever they want. If they disagree, they need to tell the masses. Ignoring it would be ignorant, as perception determines what you're saying, what you believe, what you allow. While it does not define the members within, it does define at least one aspect of the group. It's why most groups disavow anyone who kills in their name or while doing their work, but are forced to deal with the repercussion that come with it.

As with any movement, more so with political movements, people are often required to take what they believe is best between bad options, support the parts they agree with, and oppose and try to change, live with, or ignore the rest that the movement stands for. A problem with this lies in that, while the main purposes of these organizations are obvious, it is little things that help you figure out what the whole of an organization is, and many people don't wish to research. As such, to an extent, the individuals ARE defined by those they support. Unfortunately, you don't always know what you are supporting until it's too late. Godwin's law.

[Steamer]

I work in DC about every day. Most all these organizations are made to occupy spots together and it becomes one big fucking mess. The cut in between C street and PA ave. (Capital / Senate building) was closed down and guarded because of a walking movement. Freedom plaza was occupied by FOUR different protesting groups last Monday. The park at 16th street was occupied by two groups. Another park at around 12th and K was occupied by OWS alone with a small group. I could pick out the separate groups easily, what the media will have you believe and focus on is another story. I have noticed a heavy decrease in Diplomatic travel because of this, not to mention the "package" found on C/PA a few days before.

[StarsMine]

DC and the protests on pennsilvania were always entertaining
And that jackass that said protests do jack shit should get out of america. Honestly, Protests are the only way we have gotten shit done. Do the majority of protests fail? yea, but so what? You still have many that work.

[Steamer]

Protest do or lead to nothing... I'll just name one... Boston Tea Party. Please,... don't be fucking retarded.

that wasn't a protest, that was a damn riot/vandalism. BIG difference. a bunch of hippies on a street corner yelling and whining about a bunch of horseshit accomplishes nothing.

edit: this doesn't mean they should start doing that. i'd be down there with my 12 gauge in an instant if they did.

[Chikun]

Cry_Wolf was the one holding the "fuck the troops" sign...


lol

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

all in all, they say there a peacful protest, yet you see them starting fires and violence all around the world. They have no real and clear mission apart from "ending corporate Greed" There logic is to take out the big fortune 5 hundred company's who provide millions of jobs, to achieve jobs? While there out there complaining about coorparate greed, they could be back at home working or looking for a job. Think of it this way, Coorparations dont hide the fact that they want all the money in the world, but the people protesting put 20k down on a 500,000 dollar house and expect it to go up in value or complain about Student loan intrests because its "un-ethical" to receive something in return for doing someone else a favor. OWS will wash over after most of them get arrested for disturbing peace. If the average person wasnt a retard with there money or maxinhg out there credit cards every other day, there would be no need to March on wallstreet. the 99% put them selves in this position because of there OWN greed.

[Steamer]

Hey dumbass!, it began as a protest.

What else....

Revolutionary War
Civil War and not only in America
Drafting Laws
Egypt Revolution 2011

Screw it.. the list can go on and on and on....

Don't be naive.

As for OWS, I don't see the collective doing much at all at it's current state. It's isn't about them hiding the fact they are greedy and want all the money in which they do, it's the fact that they discretely nickle and dime all customers, have way too much pull in politics, and buy their way into most everything they want. We have checks and balances in our government that are suppose to keep these things in check, but have been totally disregarded and picked apart by greedy lawyers to let a huge corporation avoid laws, payments, and taxes any normal person would be held up to doing / paying.

Quite honestly it has been this way since I can recall of any government history. I don't see much being done except for things to be done in a more secret and deficit reducing manner. Deceitful? Yes, Surprising? No.

Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed, all great country's are destroyed.... Why not ours? How much longer do you actually think your own country will last? Forever?... Don't think so.

Survivor guilt....

[StarsMine]

No one said you had to agree with a protest

Glaring issues I see in politics:

1.) Lobbyists buy politicians for their own political agendas.

2.) All senate and house positions are filled with lawyers. Where are the doctors, engineers, teachers, and physicists? You know, the people advancing society. These people should be in positions of influence.

3.) The complete polarization of political parties.

4.) Politicians who denounce solutions without providing an alternative.

That doesn't seem very sound. Politicians are just as responsible for keeping their constituents on firm ground as they are for leading them in the right direction. It may not always be easy to find the right answers, but that does not make the wrong answer any better.

I equate it with the person in a group who always says no when coming up with places to eat.

Although, I should have pluralized the statement. I shall edit that.

all in all, OWS logic: Take out the coorparations that provide millions of jobs, to get jobs! WAY TO GO!

[StarsMine]

Ok Mikey you have been misinformed
A few dumbasses in the crowd do not define the Many, I doubt most people marching would ever consider such acts if it wernt for mob mentality. Also we do have free speech such actions are protected by the constitution, to say "obama supports it" is compleatly skewing what obama supports.

Another thing, OWS are not against companies, they are against how strong an influence they have at in the government with their lobbyists. Which I am sure you would agree is bullshit. The amount of laws that get passed that do not protect the people but the heads of a certain company, the way tax laws currently works (there are so many loop holes in tax due to lobbying its like swiss cheese). Lobbying has its place but the ammount of influance they have on laws far exceed that of the entire voting populace.

[Steamer]

What Stars said...

First photo isn't even from OWS.

Unfortunately the "group" is to scattered with to many different organizations with too many different agendas, too many ignorant fools, and too many people that will do nothing.

Don't forget what the extent of people acting a fool did to kick start most other civil/revolutionary wars and big change.

Another thing, these people are from all walks of life's and political views, saying they are all Democratic is fucking retarded. News will always be and is biased.

I have a few friends that have participated in OWS in DC and are in the Army. Some peoples view on this is quite twisted as are some of those involved. How do they get the free time you ask? They can't get fucking orders because of budget cuts, money they and myself see being wasted on frivolous shit that isn't needed or being outsourced to cheaper subcontractors, money that could go to the family's of active armed forces that actually need to feed their family's instead of lining the pockets of the ones not doing their jobs.

Also, today parts of PA and Constitution where shut down again from these marches.
