I have not. Because in my personal opinion, its a bunch of SPOILED ROTTEN PEOPLE who dont want to work...and want to bring home a paycheck anyway.

I respect those that did it to legitimately protest, though it isn't going to do a thing. There wasn't anything to join locally if I had wanted to. Other than a couple of days where they had rallies, the only occupying that was done was a couple of people in front of a bank, smoking and holding a sign. They'd have been there anyway. The sign just gave them an excuse to loiter between D&D games.

I thought some of the people were there because they lost their jobs, not as a result of their own actions but as a result of larger economic issues.

I participate in the Boston rallys. Your statement is incredibly offensive. I work three jobs on my breaks from school and one consistently while attending full time. Many of the other ralliers work similarly ( ... )

I'm sorry that you feel my OPINION was offensive. After all its just an OPINION. Fact of the matter is...the RICH PEOPLE in HIGHER UP positions have most likely also worked their BUTTS OFF to get there. Feeling that someone who has worked their ass off to become rich and at the top of the corporate ladder owes you or the rest of the world anything because you are not in their shoes is completely SELFISH. Someday, after you have worked your BUTT OFF for 20+ years maybe you too will be rich and famous and at the TOP OF YOUR CORPORATE LADDER...if and when that time comes, will you still feel that YOU SHOULD PAY higher taxes, or owe society anything? How do you know that the persons you are now rallying against didnt work JUST AS HARD AS YOU to get there? I'm willing to bet they worked HARDER than you or I to get there, because TIMES ARE SO DIFFERENT now then they were 20+ years ago. So, please dont JUDGE ME for my opinion. I was not JUDGING YOU AS A PERSON, but the MOEVEMENT IN GENERAL. So, when you feel the need to KNOCK ( ... )

All I have to say is:

1. You can be big over the internet and call me selfish if that makes you happy, but I never said anyone owes me anything.

2. I work 80+ hours a week when I am not at school to be able to set myself up for the future, and I already have over 5 years of experience at one location, so you have no right to judge me in the working world.

3. Speaking of judging, I never judged you, simply stated my opinion just like you. I have the basic human right to free speech, too. Also, if you want to put things on a public internet site, you can't expect everyone to agree with you and you shouldn't get mad when someone states an opposing opinion.
