    people protesting at Wall St./London Stock Exchange should take a course in economics. (wikipedia doesn't count)

    What does that have to do with people showing dissatisfaction with the current economic situation?

    So is yours. Hell, most of them are social liberals, meaning they have more both legitimacy and relevancy in current politics then you do.

    You are mistaken. People who understand a system and how flawed it is are more apt to hate it then the commoner who hates it just to blame it.

    I could understand capitalist economics on a basic level. And that is why I could hate it. Not because I would be fooled. Not because I would be mislead. Because of what it IS, not what I THINK it is.

    You hate Nazis. Do you understand them? Yes? But you hate them anyways. Even moreso because you UNDERSTAND them.

    Point: Knowing something can cause somebody to hate something as much as they can make somebody like them.

    The thought process of these protests seems to be: I just lost my job, better go shout at rich people.

    The irony of this conversation is that the majority of these protester hold ideologies similar to yours and Mayors.

    Preach an idea. Shun it in practice.

    Because I believe that a corporation should make all the money it can, that's its job and I don' think that the bankers should be jailed for doing said job like Michael Moore declared a few days ago. Until I see some sort of uniform list of demands this is nothing more than 1000 angry collage kids getting media attention because of a mace happy cop. I'll pass my final judgement when they met my prerequisite.

    And here I though the general idea behind this whole thing was a public display of discontent. Shows what I know.

    Demon has it right, the general idea behind the protest is that we are mad.
