Occupy Wall Street Movement Spreads Across the World!

If you go and attend GA at one of the protest you would probably understand that this really cant be controlled by anyone, things are very fluid in terms of control. If the corporations did start this for whatever reason, which I really doubt, it has broken out of their control now. As for martial law, we already live in a police state, if we sit around much longer things will only get worst.

 

Thank You for not flaming me for asking questions. There is no occupy near me and I only see what is posted around and not from the media bc they are not talking,.

It's good to know there are ones out there donating to the cause. I have little to give in the way of material things or monitarly as we are in the straights like most farmers.

I do give my support to the ones that are able.

I do still have my fears that something is underfoot and yet to be revieled. I hope also that it is unfounded..

I will leave this thread bc I feel there is no freedom of speach here and I am under threat.
It's a shame.

I wish we did have a space set aside here for people with honest questions and concerns to bring them up, and hopefully, get good answers that would make them feel better about the Movement. That's not the same thing as trolling or corporate propaganda, which is a waste of time and space. Also, good questions from an opposite viewpoint often set up great opportunities to make worthwhile debating points. That's why so many political talk shows try to have at least one guest who disagrees with the host and/or other guests.

I have always been taught that smart people question everything, at least to some degree. The way that these Occupations are being run right now, I don't see that they have anything to fear from anybody's questions. It's the Wall Street top 1% that needs to worry about people asking too many questions and finding out the truth.

 

The problem I have been seeing a lot of, is that people somehow think that them giving their point of view, is a question.

It is part of the whole argumentative and combative society we are in...

Asking, "How are corporate attempts to influence the movements being handled?" is an awesome question, and one that should be open to all to understand...

"I think the corporations are controlling all this and you are all being duped, convince me otherwise" is not... regardless of how that is phrased...

 

Both lines bring up the same issue, but one is rude and obnoxious, and the other is not. Unfortunately, trying to get rid of asshole behavior online, one post at a time, seems a lot like trying to empty the Atlantic Ocean with a coffee cup.

I've been trying not to let the bad attitudes bother me as much as they used to, since it seems unlikely that the situation is going to improve. I just try to stick to the main subject. What else can we do? Hopefully, most readers can tune out the crap and see the important points.

 

Well, I have been trying very hard to tone down my personality online, which is really hard considering it is pretty accurate to my real one... lol

However... What really bothers me is when people try to use the guise of 'asking questions' to spread mis-information...

I realize that a lot of people don't do it intentionally... but it doesnt change that it gets under my skin...

If you want an honest answer to something, ask an honest question.

An honest question, does not include a supplied answer...

I was talking about what I keep seeing in this? One of the things I keep seeing is people who ask questions in manners that cause rumours to fly when there is no basis for them, beyond the 'questions' being asked.

 

Actually, how about simply, "How do the movements ensure that those who give donations don't don't use it as an opening to have extra influence?"

That way it addresses what is at the heart of the issue right across the board.

 

The tough part is figuring out who is doing it intentionally, and who just isn't very good at wording their questions. I can't always tell. And if I brush off people just for being bad writers, that would make me a snob. I try not to go there.

Of course it hasn't been proven, but maybe the person posting it doesn't know that. Maybe they have been told this as a fact, and someone needs to straighten them out and tell them the truth. Where do they go to find out the truth?

Actually, I would assume that some company has already tried to buy some influence, just because that sounds like something that many companies would want to do. I don't think they will have much luck.

 

Have a nice weekend Karen J. Explain your bias to them.

 

Is it going to be analysis for the action. or is it going to be the certain way of helping experiences? I'm shocked.

Why did we always teach each other the concepts of knowing justice before the ideas of misunderstanding caring attitudes?

 

Good eye, Skip. I hadn't even thought of that last sentence.

 

I heard the words "Occupy Moscow, Russia" today. "Occupy Hong Kong" is up and running, as are "Occupy Seoul" and "Occupy Jerusalem." The people, not the politicians and not the military are backing the Occupation in countries that we are supposedly at odds with. Have we finally found something that the world can unite for? Hoping. Seriously hoping.

 

Maybe people around the world are realizing they've all been living under the same evil umbrella.

 

lol the banksters: "we are wall street"

i dont know if that is authentic...

Hey thank for the link, that was pretty funny, as if those assholes ever did, or can do, an honest days work in their lives, lol.When the banksters land on the street they will not have the skills to steal an honest job. They will not have to worry about the landscaping after their homes are foreclosed.

 

at least they admit their fancy Wall St. offices are basically glorified casinos...
