They'll go away soon unless some kind of charismatic leader appears to unify them, but that's not happening.

Exactly, a dictatorial sort with a loathing of men in shiny suits is what is needed. He should also order the hippies to shave and look presentable. Nobody can take a hippy type seriously.

I agree. Fascism is the way of the future.

Now we just need to find the right strongman/psychopath and we'll be set.

And if we then kill him, we'll REALLY be set!

Further proof that peace is overrated :)

Peace is for homos

Hahahaha, protesters fighting to expand oil production are what should upset you, but for something decent and principled like wealth redistribution? Well it is nutty to not believe in at least some level of 'levelling' out. What we currently have is a serious abortion of a system, it needs to be reformed massively.

The hippies are the ones clamoring for wealth redistribution and honestly that is 100% wrong those people are lazy stoners who just want a free ride, the industrious people of this nation have earned their wealth, now if they want Wall St out of politics that's one thing but THEY must realize they voted for Obama who let the same fucking crooks in his White House that Clinton had.....guys like Larry Summers. Now its not JUST the left that Wall St has in the bag, but its also not just the Republicans.

I found out why miles supports this movement.....AdBusters the Canadian people that set these protests up are well known anti-semites

I now support this not because of vast unjustified inequality which has been bought by deregulation and lobbying, but because I am an anti semite. Nice one Lyle! :rolleyes:

.....Never gets old ;D

And Lyle there is NOTHING wrong with wealth redistribution. People are not advocating that there be communism, but a certain degree of leveling out. Middle class people should not be paying proportionally more tax than the super rich, who wriggle their way out by bribing government and using accountants to find loopholes that normal people cannot use. That is unfair and unjustified. Rich people should pay more into the system than the poor and that is what makes a more stable and fair society. It has always been this way in successfully run economies. Countries that let the rich off the hook become what America has now become, a walking disaster.

People are now left with so little that they are taking to the streets and so they should. There is nothing hippie, nor radical about wanting a more justified and fair society. Democratic socialism is the most common form of democracy in the world. It is proven and it works. However, Britain and America are trying to destroy it and they are having a good go of it in Greece too. Nobody should accept Friedman style economics nor allow the IMF to dictate terms. They are insidious and corrupt ways of justifying banker supremacy and gross inequalities within societies.

There are far better methods and until the imbalance is addressed, you may very well see a new global rebellion take place in the west. And bring it on I say.
