Most are probably working at Starbucks or Office Depot, angry that their music degree couldn't land them a "real" job. Meanwhile, one of their fellow employees with only a HS diploma but a better attitude gets promoted over them.

I thought Starbucks, Panera, and Urban Outfitters actually paid decent. It's why their shitty food/products are so overpriced.

Granted it's pretty shitty when you spend $200,000 at a fancy private school (paid for by their banker dad). But you should have known that when you signed up for Conflict Management or a business degree that everyone and their brother and sister and father and mother and 3rd cousin's best friend's dog has.

I want a pony too by the way. And I want it pink damnit.

I'm just so frustrated by all of them, JUST for the reasons you've put above. I will say, I was highly impressed with my daughter's boyfriend. He went to dinner with us and the entire conversation at the table was about the protesters and their demands. His discussion was right there.

Makes me proud... maybe there IS hope for the future.

Maybe the Occupy Wall Street people will turn it to a viable political movement, the left wing counterbalance to the right wing tea party. I doubt it, but maybe.

Chewie groping hippy boobs would be epic.

He needs a shot by the memorial name things too, preferably before he touches hippy boobs.

I doubt it would get as much support, but would be equally hijacked by the hardcore...

You do have some celebs lending support now so they can get soem face time, and the esteemed rev al sharpton is having his radio show broadcast from down there today so that does wonders for their credibility.

The protests should occur in DC instead, because politicians have only themselves to blame for allowing big business to enslave them. WTF is up with tax subsides to oil companies? Like that's an industry that really needs a break.
