Sorry fella but your wrong on that point, if people didn't make a stand nothing would get done.
Your country was founded on people making a stand remember.
Peaceful protest's can get things done (Ghandi did it)
Its Ok saying vote for someone but when they are all puppets of the same system well....
I don't have the answers to it all, I wish I did but I do repect these people doing it.

I was one of those idiots that though that the $100/month for the GI Bill would be better spent on beer, so I opted out.... I wasn't very smart, back then. LOL
Does not seem like much has changed since then.

I watched the video and I absolutely agree! The Fed has to go! I think you're stereotyping me somewhat
That is the most ironic post I've read in a long time.........now I know this is a trolling thread
You think that because I believe the fed is corrupt this is a trolling thread? You also need to look up "irony" in the dictionary. Your stereotyping me doesn't = irony.
LOL!!!! Zing.......No, the irony is you stereotyping the OWS protesters...hippies, communists, leeches, nazis, trustfund babies, etc and then claiming I stereotyped you because you agree with the view of the video I posted above. Dude, your losing traction here and gettin confused.....your hitting from the rough on this thread.....
I suggest nite nite, your looking quite foolish now, by anyone's standards, Dem, Rep or HUMAN.

Erm Iam from the Uk so it is your country isn't it?
So my point still stands "your" founding fathers did something against "My" country rule and got rid.
They didn't just say "no point it's going to die out" they stood up for what they believed was right, and thats what the OWS are doing they want change and are trying to do it peacefully.
In my country people are doing the same, they are trying to change things what they feel is wrong.

The UK, historically, gets an F- in standing up to tyranny. Surveillance at every stoplight? Wear a piggy shirt to work and find yourself in court for insulting islam.
How many private citizens in the UK own a handgun? Feel free to get back to me on that.

Wow why do we need handguns?
And we have stood against tyranny many many times WW2? Iraq war (1 million strong)
Survellance at every stop light? yeah we have loadsa camera's around city centers to make sure we don't all fight after a good drink on a friday night.
Wear a piggy shirt wtf? maybe we are more tolerant than you (just you)
You really don't know us Brits do you?
I have tried to be nice to you but now you try and insult us Brits?
Your statement has just proved to me your a racist idiot (bringing muslims into it for no reason and assuming someone called you the N word so quick and taking offense)
Good day to you sir you a fool..................
but it tends to set the hippies screaming

No, I won't forgive you, you posted a quote to back up your argument to support your claim, didn't quote it properly and left the the most important aspect out. FAIL at that and this thread. You have posted nothing more then innuendo, hearsay and propaganda.....I think this is an ATS punk, and since you don't have any problem using stereotypes and slurs, you sir are an idiot Come back with facts and reasonable debates and go from there, adios.
Please link ANY facts that you have posted in this thread!

You brought race into it when you confused one poster calling you a slave as the n-word.
