Ya this photo...I mean, it's great when people do this. Personal accountability needs to become more prominent or we will never get anywhere, and I can relate to much of what that photo says, but I didn't really have the luxury of staying out of debt if I wanted to go to school, which I did. My parents needed my money, I worked full time but it wasn't enough to pay for my cheapie little school. I aimed to be able to say all of the things said there, and I always will. It's about working and making good decisions...but that assumes everything goes perfectly, it's hard to crawl out of setbacks you cannot control sometimes. Also, what kind of life is that anyway? Is that what we should have to bust our ass for? Struggling just to make it below your means? It seems like the work to outcome ratio is a bit skewed, but that's just me.

This is why conservobot establishment apologists piss me the fuck off - they think it's just fine and dandy to struggle your whole life to pay back college loans, or to live in poverty to get a degree, and then still fucking struggle and "bust your ass" your whole life because the college industry has been "financialized" and the corporations are holding wages down.

It's easy for people like my neighbors, who like my household, are in the top 5%, to look down on these kids that are standing up to the system. My wife and I make damn good money, but I identify with the OWS movement because I understand what people are going through economically today. None of my siblings are solvent - I'm the only financially solvent of four kids, but they are fucking conservobots to the core. Go figure.

It's hard for people to depart from the right wing bullshit brainwashing - I know, because I broke away from it. Even those one job loss from forclosure are clinging to establishment conservobotulism even though the system is financially killing them. GRRRRRR. :(

This pic is quite appropriate right about now:

Riots in Rome

Not a very good way to keep up sympathy for the cause. IMO

No idea about what caused it but even if the police started it still is a problem. Back in the Chicago riots at the Democrat convention even though the protesters were beat up by the police there still was an element that thought they goaded the police and got what they deserved. Even though in most cases that was not true.

Such is the risk off large groups protesting. Things can spiral out of control. And when they do one can lose the ability to stay on message.

Just my two cents worth

So you discount a world wide movement because out of millions of people across the planet, there was a riot in rome?

No idea about what caused it but even if the police started it still is a problem.

You have no clue, but it's a problem nonetheless?

Back in the Chicago riots at the Democrat convention even though the protesters were beat up by the police there still was an element that thought they goaded the police and got what they deserved. Even though in most cases that was not true.

But that's still a problem right? So you think most people are incapable of seeing the truth in a situation, and they should now give up the cause?

Such is the risk off large groups protesting. Things can spiral out of control. And when they do one can lose the ability to stay on message.

Sounds to me like you are hoping they lose their message. Did you have some other point you were attempting to make?

Just my two cents worth

It was worth exactly what we paid for it.

No, you Alien Asshat are the fucking troll. You come in here and spout your stupid shit after you go watch your fucktard right wing FOX News shit and repeat it. Then you piss, whine and cry when I point it out. You have not added one fucking thing to this thread except your negativity and thinly veiled hope that the OWS movement will fail.
