Very big Daydream Believer. "That's not knowledge, that's a crapshoot!" -Al Murray "Welcome to QI" -Stephen FryI'm rather glad they didn't do anything to him once they found out.
Also, speaking out against stupidity by members of your own occupation in a job that highly values brotherhood = balls of steel.
Thread Hop:The more I hear about this movement the more they should make a Shonen anime out of it.Man,imagine how great would that be espically if it could combine the spirit of Gurren Laggen and the awesomeness of One Piece.
I am being serious a little because they already have coloring books based on the movement so why not get an anime show based on the movement.

The occupiers in st Louis have done nothing at all wrong. They are just being forced out like scum.
Untitled Power Rangers StoryWelcome back, joyflower.
I wonder whether that mayor really doesn't like OWS, or has other parts of the establishment cracking down on him...
I am now known as Flyboy.Well, something to keep in mind. Many of the mayors and governors and such that aren't helping OWS may not actually be against it in principle, but rather are simply not being afforded a choice by the other, more deeply-ingrained members of the establishment...
I am now known as Flyboy.@Detroit: Not much surprise there, the recession nearly killed Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Granted, all three are still alive, but we lost Pontiac in the process, Chrysler had to have their debt paid off with the help of Fiat (but hey, Alfa Romeo is making a return to the US, so it's not all bad) and Ford not only lost Mercury, but also some of their touch.

Ford lost their touch? They're doing better than ever. And good riddance to Mercury. Pontiac, well, too bad about that one though.
Actually I'd say Obama's efforts to save Detroit really ended up paying off. Really wish he took more risks like that. Maybe I'm just biased because I look at news about the car industry often, but right now they're far more responsible than Wall Street.

This country is center-left. When asked if the government should do something about income inequality, 60% are in favor of such a concept, while 30% are unfavorable to it
.
Oakland protestors interfere with coverage of a damn murder victim.
But I'm sure that's just the violent fringe.
(Well, actually, based on my milder local protest, it might be. But the rest are too hippy-dippy to kick them out.)

Guess Congress (and Gov't as a whole in the US) needs to strat listening to the 99%, then! It's getting more than a little too late for them to keep making excuses... Now that Europe and Asia are on our case. And that's off subject a bit, but it affects us.
EDIT - Ninja'd. Don't got a lot to say, anyway - and that's a good thing, as far as I'm concerned...

Yu hav nat sein bod speeling unntil know. (cacke four undersandig tis)the cake is a lie!Hate the cops - fine. Be a hot-headed asshole and charge the lines - fine, if you take your night in lock-up on the chin. Form a human chain to keep reporters from photographing a guy who was shot and killed thirty feet away from your protest, and give one of said reporters a concussion in the process - not fine in the slightest.
Hail Martin Septim!Yeah... Got to side with you and those who agree on this one. That's not helping out this heroic cause one bit.
Stay classy, Occupiers.
