    These are YOUR demands, not PEOPLE'S demands. Don't think your ideas represent the people.

    That's your demands. The people occupying shit have no idea what they're doing, they just turn up. The Howard Stern video I posted earlier had them interviewing a guy who built a box fort to get laid. Twice. They're just hippies.

    You guys know the Right-wing supports this too, right? A hell of a lot of the people out there (In the US) there are Ron Paul supporters. Calling this just a left wing, or Hippy movement is blatantly incorrect.

    @ Potman, Not sure if you misunderstood what Lenin Cat was saying, or were trying to make some sort of an attack on him. If the later, then it really wasn't needed. He made a list of what he would like to see done, with nothing bad intended.

    These people really need to get their shit together. If they gain anything from this at the rate they are moving at it will be a legit miracle, get a unified reason and then I would be a supporter of it.

    I don't. I admit that he's a cunt, but this segment exposed the cream of the Occupy Wall Street participants.

    I was in Rome two days ago and there was occupy protest... they took a street, and 10 000-20 000 Italians joined.
    One day I watched Finnish news and huge headline:"Rome in flames, protest in Rome!"
    I didn't know that there were any protest until my hotel clerk advised me not to go to that one street
    Talking about news hype XD

    The thing is, because it is a picture, it could be from a video paused at just the right place to make it look that way.

    Or you could just be overreacting. But, say the police were being violent, what then? Would there be a need for counter violence, or would a Gandhi like protest ensue.
