*yawn* at media black out. To get the headlines these days guys you need to riot, otherwise your just a foot note.

Edit: Personally, anything that has Julian "I think I'm god" Assange invloved can't be a good thing.

Lol yeah those companies MADE you buy those products, they FORCED you to take out loads you couldn't afford, they created products which make your life better and easier, they generate so much tax it would blow your mind and that then pays for all the nice things the government provide us with, infrastructure, pensions, welfare, healthcare, education..... they give people jobs, they give people a purpose in life, they give people income.

Frankly these hippies can go **** themselves and stop blaming the corporations for their own failures. Get back to school and study something other than art you thick *****.

This. Bunch of idiots.

I wonder how many of the people protesting actually have any idea what they are really protesting about?

 

[NiCkNaMe]

Greed is always going to be prevalent in any free society... I want to support the protesters because I too find the financial imbalance a little worrying however I don't really know that an alternative will be any better than we've got it now?

Do these guys want a socialist society?

Do they have any suggestions on how to improve the situation?

What do they hope to achieve, other than highlight something we've all been aware of for years? (that a capatalist society is always going to have a top 1%!!!)

A capitalist society must be reborn, this is simply one of the stages.

There's no fix for whats happened other than destruction of the system, its how it has to be, its how it must be.

Very powerful speech.

You think you'd be buying those apple products and posting on the internet with your nice Dell laptop or whatever without it?

Technically, it's the income tax that generates by far the most tax revenue. However, the companies need to be in the country for those employees to be employed. Bit of a circle.

I'm pretty neutral in this one. Don't really have an opinion, however I do believe they should provide a solution rather than just complaining about stuff.
