Other than insulting staff while typing anonymously behind a keyboard, do you have anything of substance to add to the topic?
The show, the staff, ATS members and topics are open to all nationalities, including those in Merry ol' England....just an FYI in case there was some confusion.
Thanks for listening. Must be a good show to keep one hanging on and commenting with such colorful and strong opinions

To preface my remarks... This was the 2nd show I've heard on ATS. The first I can't even recall it was so long ago. This one I cut out as soon as American History got boring for someone. Wouldn't happen to be you would it?
Some solid advice... If you're going to build on knowledge as you grow, seek out the sturdiest foundations.

So again, besides being an anonymous keyboard warrior insulting staff, do you have anything of substance to speak regarding the topic you seem to be an expert on? We are waiting for your rebutal on the specifics on what was discussed tonight.

Again: Aren't you also typing anonymously behind a keyboard? Or is you real life name really "greeneyedleo"?
I think you should stop bringing up the anonymous thing. It is a moot point. Look around you - all of us are anonymous here. The staff and moderators too.
No. I am not. Nor are anyone on the ATS Live show.
I shall stop here since that is your soul purpose to insult staff and argue about the insults.
Have a great night!

I said I was not real good with American History when I was asked a very specific question. Sorry, im a science and law geek with my degree being in Criminal Foresnics (3.7 GPA). So no, I am not good at American History trivia. I do not read much on it and spend my time studying science and law.

What's the answer?.. I missed it.. All I saw was a list of complaints, and as I said earlier, I can agree with some of the complaints, I cannot buy the entire list..
What's the answer? What's the End Goal?

I initially made the comment and stand by it
Regardless of the age of the protestors, the pimple faced comment applies and I mean no disrespect to those that suffer with acne.
Some people grow up late, some never grow up at all
Protests need to be focused and centered in an issue everyone can understand and get behind
Also protests are not the "end all", they must be tied to the adult end where lobbying and political pressure can be applied to initiate real change.
Most of these people probably voted for Obama and now they are complaining about the very change they wanted. Sour Grapes
Maybe they could get a "Stimulus Package"
