Are these US protests significant?

[Ghost]

To the people involved in the protests, they matter. Are they significant?

About as significant as a British citizen, who currently lives in Korea, talking politics on a boxing forum, with a hard on against the US.

Not really.

I have nothing against the citizens of the United States and only wish them well, but there is no escaping the fact that middle America has been systematically taken apart for well over 30 years. And this is planned and deliberate. So, because I am British and live overseas, that automatically means that I should have no viewpoints about international politics and should certainly abstain from any opinions concerning the country effectively rules the world? Damn the BBC for covering the Libya crisis too, eh?

Once again you respond with nothing more than snide little comments. Whatever floats your boat.

What the BBC covers or does not, concerns me little. I am not British, nor do I care if the Queens farts in the middle of the street or in the middle of Buck House. Nor do I care about the "internal politics" of England or any other country, except for Australia, where I am currently living.

As for the rest of your post, that is your opinion, which correct me if I am wrong, no-body is stopping you from posting. But, by the way you react, you would deny me my right to voice my opinion on your posts.

I am getting so tired of hearing people from other countries, blaming the US for all their troubles. How about you get in the face of your government and tell them to cut all ties with US. See how fast you get laughed out of the office you might be in.

That's right, you'r not in England, you are in Korea.

As for Noam Chomsky, do not know him, never watched his shows, never heard his spiel. But if being on TV or You Tube means a person has more "weight" with their opinion. No problem. Can have a You Tube video up and running in about an hour on the "Benefits of Cake Eating" in the British Isles.

Oh before I forget, I am/was classed as middle class, blue and white collar worker, owned my own house, car and paid all my bills on time, all with out help from the US government or the English Crown.

I know what middle America is and what it means. Did not learn it from TV or You Tube. I lived it.
