HOw about this, bizzy that you posted a year ago? Where is your outrage at the OWS protests? Or have you had a change of heart?
| ADGRPID:|SERVTYPE: This is outrageous. How must Americans of Jewish heritage feel? Finally, teabaggers, have you no sense of decency? |

Further proof of no real message in OCCUPY
by free2beme ini went by a protest today.
someone was holding a sign to "stop big banks now," basically saying they agree with the government taking control of the banks and what they do.
next to this person, was a person holding a sign that said, "make marijuana legal!

First, do you seriously believe that the Occupy movement is about protesting rich people and Jews?
Bizzy,
First, see my above post with clips regarding the anti-semitic viewpoints. I don't believe all of them are there protesting Jews, but there is an element who has been welcomed to the OWS movement who clearly are racist Jew haters.
Second, yes, many of the protestors are protesting rich people, rich corporations, and banks. I'm not saying some of them don't have good points, I'm saying they don't have a clear message.
Third, you didn't address my question posed to you in response to your assertion that the protests have been effective. How do you define effective?
by the way bizzy, I haven't had an opportunity to mix it up with you for a while....I hope you are doing well.

Bizzy said:
OWS is certainly not being ignored, as is proven by this thread alone. And it is therefore, by demonstration, effective.
Bizzy: What have they been effective in doing? What have they accomplished? getting publicity? is that all? People are talking about them? There is more to being effective than getting attention. They have not articulated a consistent solution to all the grievances they want addressed. They aren't even consistent as to what grievances they have. I agree with some of what some of them are saying such as being against TARP and bailouts. If a company or a bank are too big to fail, they are too big. They deserve to fail. But they can't agree on what the problem is in the first place except that they think rich people are bad, and the Jews are part of the problem. There are simply too many voices saying too many different things. They have not been effective at getting a message out, and that is their objective. How would you define effective?

There will always be fringe groups and crazies trying to horn in on a cause, just to get their 2 cents in.
BOTR said they would be there to show solidarity.

Do the protestors hate Hungarian Hedge fund managers too, or is it only Jewish hedge fund managers?

BOTR Said:
I am a proud liberal! Within the new few weeks, I am going to Wall Street to show my solidarity.
Oh really! Solidarity, huh. Do you really want to show solidarity with these people? I feel pity for you.

I'm very conservative, but I am all for people protesting. The Wall Street protestors, though, do not have a message. There is no clear, understandable message they are articulating. It's an amalgam of viewpoints and isn't really effetive.
Actually, many of them have more in common with the tea party than a lot of people seem to think. The tea-party doesn't like government intervention, and basically developed in response to Obamacare and TARP and the bail outs. The Wall Street protestors may be in favor of Obamacare, but many seem to be opposed to the TARP and the bank and automaker bail outs. Just like the tea party.
Their biggest problem is they've attracted a bunch of people who have their own fringe agendas they are trying to pursue. From anti-semetic rhetoric to legalizing marijuana to animal rights activism, they are offering no solutions, and all the differing views being shouted are just creating confusion and no focus.
I wonder how many of the occupiers actually pay income taxes themselves. Is there data on that?

yeah, those were the good old days................... along with competitive basketball games.
Those are the only things I miss.
DA CHEECH:
DITTO! We used to play b-ball about twice a month or so with brothers from about 4 or 5 congregations. We'd rent out a gym and everybody paid 2 bucks and winner stayed on the court......I Definitely miss those good times.
Treat night was really something to look forward to. Especially when Sister Matthews would make her no-bake cookies......I don't know what she did to those, but they were the best!
