There are always a few Good Apples in a bunch Pro. But from what I have seen from this movement is it is a bunch of lazy early 20 college kids and older hippie type people that don't want to do anything and just want o be taken care of on the public dime.
Well, fair enough. But, I wonder where you have gotten your impression and information from? I was actually involved in The Movement, locally, for awhile. Now, the nationwide picture might be a different story. And don't think I make excuses for the bad apples that spoil the bunch. But, the majority of those I worked with and have had first-hand dealings with are the kind that are/were legitimately interested in the main ideal behind The Movement. They aren't looking for any handouts other than the chance to have their voice heard. Your mileage may vary, depending on your geographic locale. But, I cannot label an entire Movement with noble ideals as a bunch of lazy kids looking for a free ride.
I have had a job since i was 14. I am 34 now.
Me too, except I'm 39 now.
since then I can think of a total stretch of 8 months that I have been unemployed. So these people that seem to magically have the time to rally against the some corporations that for the most part employ a large percentage of America is asinine.
How so? Their ability to manage their time is asinine? I work fulltime, have a wife, house, and still had plenty of time every evening and weekends to join the protest. And I WORK for what could be considered "the man". Why don't they, as free citizens, have the right to protest corporate corruption in our political system and daily lives? Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that Corporations and Banks have authority over our laws. Yet, they make them every day. That's not fair. Why aren't people allowed to oppose that? Or am I misunderstanding you?
Sure policies need to be changed to keep the Gov. from being bought buy this corporations, But standing around and causing a nuisance to the very people they claim to be fighting for is not it.
I don't see The Movement as being responsible for anyone's comfort or nuisance-level. If "Joe Lunchpail", as has been called, is bothered by them, then he needs to (a) ask why he's bothered, since their very ideal is designed to benefit him, and, (b) decide what he believes is the truth about America, and the so-called "freedom" we flaunt to the world. Is it all propaganda? An illusion of control given to us by the very companies which drive our lives? Or is it our Constitutional Right to protest the ills of society, in hopes that the leaders at large will be forced to make concessions and amend the problems that's destroying everything this country ever stood for in the past?
If some guy gets annoyed because it takes ten more minutes to get to his Starbucks on the way to punch numbers for a corporate machine, I honestly don't give a fuck. That's called "First World Problems". People are starving somewhere. We, as a society, need to put down the cell phones and iPads and actually get some perspective.
Just my opinion, naturally. Don't read anything aggressive or adversarial in that. You cunt.
