I'll add that stupid and whiny mischaracterizations of the protesters are mostly coming from the same sources. Believing this without taking a closer look at the causes for the protests is "99%" likely to be against your best interests.

I've heard several say they have student loans, and they want the "government" to pay those loans. I've heard many say they are tired of corporations. I've heard many say they think the rich have too much money.

But I have yet to hear one of them say anything about what exactly they want done.

With sponsors like Adbusters and George Soros, I can't see anything positive coming from this bunch of basement dwellers turned park occupiers.

This really belongs in Off topic... not in Server Chat.

Pickled, you opened a flame war with me about how I apparently am taking all of my opinions on the subject from the media. When, in reality and per your actual post, it appears that is actually what YOU are doing:

I legitimately do not have a clue why you're assuming I'm on 1 side or the other?

Which country to do you live in Pickled?

Based on his idealistic, and undirected ranting, I'd say Narnia, or Middle Earth.

So the "occupy Boston" version of this "protest" is pretty hilarious. Every radio station/news network is unable to get a straight answer from any of the "protestors" regarding why they're even there.

TBH - get the fuck out of Boston. The only "99%" stat thats obvious to identify is the fact that 99% of these idiots are homeless fucking drifters shtitting up public transportation and bathing in McDonalds restrooms.

what point are you getting at by making this post? instead of answering for you, this time i'll let you go ahead and make your point. shoot.

Occupy ECT! Spawn a bunch of ogres in black dyed plate with Blackjack's that aggro on everyone and everything. Of course, they don't drop anything but a random ticket and a baked goods item.

^ here's the thing. I literally walk through these protestors on a daily basis to arrive at my office in PO Square in Boston. So, whether you like it or not, I am informed enough based on 1st hand experience, and unfortunately for you have the right to identify my opinion publically.

Even more unfortunate for you, is the fact that I have already determined your stereotype and I am absolutely blown away that I've wasted another 2.5 minutes of my day responding to your dribble.

Here's the point though - these protestors aren't protesting a goddamn thing. They are, en mass, arriving destinationless, seeking out their demographic and huddling in the pre-desginated "protest" area. They've identified no demands, and have conceded at every opportunity to law enforcements demands.

Sounds like a bunch of filthy pussies, sorry.

so why bother introducing media when you said yourself that your firsthand experience was more than enough? have you ever actually stopped and talked to any of these people in person?

How dare you ask a question that you yourself cannot answer, "Yes" to.

I'll exit this thread with this lasting image from the occupy Boston protest -

What an absolutely prophetic and well thought out message.

Puppet much? What're you the most tattoo'd cool kid @ state_college_02?

Not that I feel like I need to defend myself from personal attacks like this, but yes, I'm attending university.

I'm going to school to be a teacher because I am so brazen as to actually think that I can help make the world a better place. I'm also working 36 hours a week and attending classes full time. I do not have any tattoos, but I have thought about getting one from time to time.

I've answered your question, now please answer mine: have you ever actually talked to any of these people in person?
