many of them do have jobs.
Then they should go to them.
They do, they go to the protests on their time off.....obviously most people do not work 24/7.......are you suggesting they should?
No, I'm suggesting that they (and remember most of these people are white privileged kids) shouldn't waste their free time messing up other peoples' jobs and instead either sit their fat asses in front of X Factor repeats or Call of Duty or maybe even do something f**king constructive for once.
No actually most of them are not, there are quite a few poor and homeless people, and people of all different races...and yes that includes some white privileged kids, but remember not all white kids are privileged that is a misconception. Also if cant get over the idea that the purpose of life is to work you're not going to understand. The point is we have a corrupt system that is screwing many people over working for the system does not change anything so by disrupting those jobs its bringing attention to the corruption that goes on. Yes I am sure the 1% and the federal government would love people to just be quiet and work rather then try to challenge the system.
Have you even gone to any of these protests? I have so I have seen the sort of people there.
Every single piece of video and every single image I've seen of these protests has been full of people aged at around 18-25 with iPhones and cups of Starbucks coffee. Very homeless and poor, yeah, with their £500 smartphones and social networking to set all this BS up
And "the 1% own 99% of the wealth" thing is an utterly bulls**t statistic as you already know, stop throwing it around as if it actually means something.

Because we all know we have such honest media and they always show everything, they never stretch the truth or censor what images/videos they show. Though I do not see anything bad about people more well off than myself participating in or supporting the movement but that is certainly not what the majority of the crowd looks like. That is why I asked if you've actually been to any of the protests.
and I explained before the 99% and 1% are not perfectly exact statistics, before claiming it does not reflect any amount of truth why don't you go look up what it means.......also there is a documentary out called The 1% I belive and it was created by this guy from one of those super wealthy families who thinks the stuff that goes on is f*cked up and wanted to try and expose it to the public so why don't you go look that up instead of just beliving all the lies from the media.

I'm not watching Fox News and listening to every word they tell me, though, I'm talking about images from multiple news sources as well as protesters themselves uploading videos and pictures to YouTube and Twitter and stuff. I see very few homeless people and a lot of fairly well-off people with their iPhones out.
The stat is wrong. Simple as that.

Having a cell phone does not prove someone is well off.....I have a very cheap pay as you go phone and I'm certianly not the only one. And yes corporations are in charge of a lot of production and distribution of goods its kind of hard to escape that unless, you live in an area that allows for you to be self suffcient or are in a self sufficient commune.
I don't see how showing a picture of protestors who have items really disproves that around 1% of the population controls most of the worlds wealth & resources. All that does is prove its very hard to get around the system due to the way it's set up.

Dear "Occupy" Movement,
Get the *&^%$#@ outta my way and let me get to work!
