Some of these OWS folks are also pulling off their shirts (women) and dropping their drawers. Many of the videos were not fit to post much less view. I ended up turning them off before they were finished. :vomit:

If by "a different view" you mean a sarcastic comment because I thought your post was wrong, then OK. :chuckle:

Another fringe element:
According to the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, 23.9% of Americans identify as Catholic.
barbie, what do you think of these fringe elements?

Occupy TOL. It would be a good idea; it is not happening right now. There are no occupiers on this thread.
People who put down "hippies" are just jealous. VERY jealous.
Pick up a guitar and play. You might get rich!

Barbie doesn't see through enough. Occupy=good guys. Tea Party=bad guys. Thems the facts.
The facts according to you are not factual. The fact is your rogue group of hippie anarchist bretheren don't have enough brain cells amongst them to form a coherent message, nor do they have the leadership skills to organize. It is a flash in the pan at best that will fizzle as quick as it came.
And all of king Obama's horseman, and all of Soros' men couldn't put the occupy movement back together again...:chuckle:
The only way in which capitalism can work in the long term is by putting money into the hands of people, so that they can buy and manufacturers can make.
That is the essence of the socialist argument.
Squeasing people and pouring our money into the pockets of the few, who syphon it out of the economy ALWAYS leads by and by to stagnation.
The Tories do it in Britain, the Reps do it in America [they call it small government or rolling back the state...sounds grand don't it?] it always means if you are rich you can have things, if you are poor you can't...even very basic things like healthcare.
By the time the stagnation sinks in the Ronny Reagans and the Thatchers have long gone and so the Democrats or the Labour party have to carry the can. Yes they DO spend because the conservatives rip the heart out of education, housing, and healthcare and all other public spending and they leave society in a mess.

And as we've seen throughout history, socialism doesn't work.
Even if legalized theft were universally accepted (the forceful taking from the "haves" and giving to the "have nots" is theft), those that were given something for nothing would end up broke, and those that knew how to make their money work would be financially successful again. (You'd be back to square one Totton)
Let the free market work it's magic, it helps the poor as well.
Capitalism has worked that way for thousands of years.
No, it isn't. Socialism steals capital and concentrates it in the hands of a few despots.
That is the essence of Socialism.

IT should be obvious that quoting or posting a few protesters who are not sure how to speak their message means nothing. These folks are not pundits or politicians. But this one is very good:
You guys can't see the point I made above. It is NOT obvious to you. That really shows just WHO are the ones who are incoherent. You guys are.

It is not working that way now, and frequently doesn't when allowed to run wild in the Reagan style.
Democratic socialism puts money in the hands of the people instead of a few rich fat cats.
That is the essence of right-wing capitalism. Stagnation and decline, like what we have in America.
Your social order is a mess and you have been under free market ideology for the last 30 years.
We are the 99%. You support the 1%. And that's all who benefits from your ideology.

As we've seen throughout history, right-wing free market ideology doesn't work. But you don't know history. You don't even remember what happened in 1929, let alone 2008.
Trickle-down doesn't trickle. The magic is the deception of free market ideology that pulls the wool over your eyes. You have been hoodwincked very severely. "Free market" works for the 1% and hurts everyone else. The rich today are the thieves, not the liberals. Social programs help the rich as well.

And the wrong idea people have, is trickle-down free market ideology.
