Eazy E passed away from Acquired-Immune-Defiecency Symdrome. May he rest in peace.

The point is people are out there letting the banks (that you <3 ) know, the banks are scum.

As mentioned previously, banks are institutions that loan money for interest. They provide a service to people, but this service comes at a price. This price is called "interest". This service has allowed for ventures to occur that would have otherwise not been possible, thus facilitating the overall expansion of civilized society as we know it.

Do you reckon the tax payers earned that, huh?

What kind of American are you?

A tax payer is someone who contributes to the whole for the purpose of the Government maintaing the infrastructural integrity of a country.

The word "American" denotes an individual who has U.S. Citizenship whether by birth or by Naturalization.

You intelligent person

They loan money that is not REAL, JUST LIKE THE FED...

What is or is not real has been a topic of contention since time immemorial. Since the chair I sit on is comprised of swirling atoms rather than hard matter, is it fair for me to say the chair is not real? Or may I grant reality to the chair in the context of the physical world I reside in?

I can't believe you could find fault in people trying to express their anger at the banks...

Is it so hard to believe that in this wonderful wide world of diversity we live, breathe and exist in, there are people who hold different views than your own?

It is things like this that make me feel absolutely convinced that a good lot of you are so far in the tank with the corporatism, that you are unaware you are even inside the tank in the first place.

Is it really necessary to lash out at those who hold a different paradigm of reality than your own?

I know you are here defending the banks (in a very obtuse way) because you reckon they are the polar opposite private force to the "public" force of government is "good"...

Banks are institutions that loan money to people against interest.

Corporations are legal entities that describe a group of people cooperating for the exchange of goods.

Are you gonna give me a slice of pie and spray some Bactine on my knee while you're at it?

I assume that most people would recognize that there is systemic corruption, based upon the goings
a chain reaction which was initiated by banks and government.

Hey if wanna love the banks too, have at it...

Enjoy the fruits of your labor

" I would never join any organization that would have me as a member..." (groucho marx)

"Janky;Janky;Janky..."
Planned and approved ("spontaneous") demonstrations.

If they were really gonna do anything effective to embarrass wall st types; do you think tptb (authorities) would give permits and approvals?
At least when the Dnc convention was protested in Minnesota (IIrc?) the cops searched and busted a few homes boarding demonstrators( remember finding buckets of urine?) . and charged them.

How (real) can any protest be when it is organized;controlled; and the date advertised.?
(perhaps sponsored by pepsi or Nike?)

It would be incredibly naive to think the Govt didn't have a direct line into the inside of such an organization.( Intel going out and influence or instructions going in).

that most people

Who are these "most people" and where do they state their Assumptions?

would recognize that there is systemic corruption

To what extent? Where? As compared to what countries?

, based upon the goings a chain reaction which was initiated by banks and government.

What banks, corporations and governments have in common is that they are all attempts by human beings to get together and form groups for solving different types of issues of society in particular and civilization in general.

The words "corporation", "banks" and "government" are merely labels given to different social organisms that congregate.

It is wonderful for people to get together trying to solve the issues of life.

Human History is various groups competing with each other. By virtue of these conflicts, new situational environments arise and humankind expands to new understandings and new levels than they were before.

I hope this helps in gaining more insight into the nature of that which you are addressing in this most exciting and fruitful exchange of ours.

Nice to see a mod professionally derail a thread!

My sincere apologies.

It was not my intention to derail this most exquisite conversation of ours.

The post was encoded in analogy and may have therefore overreached the bounds of your intellectual capacity. If you exchange the words "swirling atoms" with MONEY, as a metaphysical tool of energy exchange, you may draw closer to grasping the analogy.
