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.
you've seen this on oreilly right? have you seen the daily show's version of this at tea party rallys?

face it, the average american is politically illiterate regardless of her position on the political spectrum, criticizing just one particular facet of the citizenry is being hypocritical.

The "Occupy" protests are completely meaningless and my opinion about them specifically has no baring on my political allegiance or opinion on any social policy, fiscal policy, or recent change.

Also, I don't usually develop my opinion based on what's on TV. So, no, no I haven't.

that's cool, i don't own a tv and i haven't had one set up in my apartment for the last four years. we can be hipsters together!

you obviously saw or heard it somewhere. personally i find no great distinction between the radio and the tv other than you can do other things which require visual attention while listening to the radio.

Lol no i didn't obviously see or hear anything. In fact, if you re-read my only comment about the media was:

I'm not positive why you're assuming that because I haven't solicited for handwritten letters identifying the Protestor's wishes that I am bias.

In fact, I am not bias. You're just clearly so uninformed that you are unable to differentiate between a cause worth fighting for, and causing a fight.

The opinions differ widely on what needs to be done, but pretty much everyone at these protests agrees that big money has way too much influence in politics. The same criticisms that were leveled against the current protests have been very recently applied to Tea Partiers. Given some time, I think it's pretty likely that the OWS movement can become politically effective.

In fact, I hope they do. That much anger needs a political outlet.

Its happened before a few times. Read up on the history of the 1900s. Banks, the wealthiest 1%, fiscal conservatives and doomsayers -- all have been thrown out of power by political process in our country. We need them, but we need them to have less influence. Cynically thinking it can't happen is selling your own voice and future short.
