Since the communications director for the occupy wall street people stated in an interview that their goal was "to overthrow the government," couldn't the administration use the same legal justification they used on that guy in Yemen and just bump all of them off with drone strikes?

It is NOT a "people vs monied interests" debate. It is an idiotic protest, frankly. Their "manifesto" has so many bullets in the list they are bound to overlap with most people on some issues, but taken as a whole, it's absurd.

Taken as a whole the movement is wholly disorganized. They've got our attention, but... er, now what? :06:

EDIT: I can't swing with the whole "overthrow the gubmint" thing, either. That's not the way to get the right attention in these matters.


EDIT 2:

Now that corporations are 'people', how can that be turned to the advantage of the citizens? If they are 'people' then the people must push for a decision that would hold coporations fully accountable for their mistakes. There is absolutely nothing that makes them any more special than you or me or anyone else. Right? Nobody is above the law. :hmmm:

</stream of consciousness>

Why because it doesn't conform with normal Left vs right thinking?

Because the media tried to ignore it for 2 weeks, but the footage of sitting people being maced pushed it mainstream?

You make statements like you want them clipped. You compare peaceful protestors to a proven violent terrorist? Wow mister junior propaganda minister, thats a stretch.
A missile in NYC is smart, I guess you never been there.:down: You oughta have a missile hit your house just for suggesting it, you unpatriotic terrorist. **sarcasm please**

Obey , bend over, not enough money for lube, enjoy it or die conservatively in a conservative manner:rotfl2:.

How much you getting paid to post against your own interests?

Using the exact same logic, they could have wiped out the Tea Party as well:

"How dare people want money out of politics. Why we should drone strike them for that!" :roll: Your argument stinks.

Peaceful protest isn't the kind of threat that would warrant drone strikes anyway, even in the example illustrated above.

^This, only that the middle classes in America have finally had enough!

That's the point. I was just illustrating how ludicrous a statement it was.

Looks like they've had enough across the pond as well.

Classic...never seen that one before :DL

Oh I understood. Just chirping in. :)

Quite honestly, what do these folks sitting at Wall St expect to happen with sitting at Wall St? I really don't see anything being accomplished here. :hmmm:

Well it certainly has peoples attention, even yours.

I'm trying to figure out if your trolling or honestly curious. In case your curious I will respond. If this is right wing trolling then press control+alt+del and pour water in your computer, all the pinko commie scum will die instantly. (Don't tell no one, I don't want that liberal killing exploit patched, I may need it);)

You don't think some of the issues of this protest will come up during the election? It will force the right wingers to take a stance, and for spineless jellyfish Obama O'Rielly to either embrace it and denounce his Wall Street financiers, or die when all them kids vote Republican.

You may not see much but you look in the short term. I don't, then again, I am alot smarter than some of them, I stayed employed through this depression.

Troll? :har:

I see this protest, no matter right or left, is not going to accomplish anything.

You're addressing one of the older, more respected members here. In all my time at Subsim I've never known AVG to troll. Be overexcited and wrong sometimes, sure, but no more so than the rest of us.
