The Occupy Wall Street protesters have been widely criticized for “not having demands”, as if the lack of a clearly articulated policy platform undermines the legitimacy of those crying foul at a system that seems rigged - politically and economically - in favor of the well connected and wealthy few. But creating rules and incentives to effectively safeguard fairness, equity and opportunity in the global economy is complicated. Fixing what’s broken cannot be achieved with a single simple demand, or even a five-point plan.

There is widespread sentiment among many of the Occupiers that reducing the extraordinary influence of money in politics is imperative. This strong commitment to direct democracy is exemplified in the way Occupation working groups operate by consensus, in a transparent, non-hierarchical structure. Deep and significant reform to reduce the sway money exerts through campaign contributions and lobbying would help restore faith in the basic functioning of American democracy.

Likewise, financial industry insiders who recklessly sell low-grade assets to unsuspecting investors, on the basis of misleading information, turning a blind-eye when they should have known better, should face civil and criminal liability.

And there are other measures - none particularly radical - that can and should be taken to reduce risks and volatility and increase transparency and accountability in financial markets. Strengthening regulation, supervision and transparency in the banking sector, including through higher bank capital and margin requirements, would significantly improve risk management and governance.

People have a problem with when people are raped, murdered, complain about shitty courses they have, squatting on PRIVATE property and list over other bullshit going on during this movement.

I would be very very surprised if someone did a real study on crime incidences at occupy sites before and during occupy, and didn't find that there has been less crime in these areas because of occupy. The fact that the media is portraying crimes at occupy, as if we didn't have crime in this society - in these areas - is propaganda, pure and simple.

The murder in Oakland went down like this (I was there, that's how I know): Two Oakland men were starting to fight about something completely unrelated to Occupy. A sometimes-camper at O.O. tried to break up the fight because he knew it would bring negative press. One of the men who was originally fighting shot the camper who was trying to stop the fight.

Complaining about shitty courses? Are you really trying to insinuate that our education system is fine, and that students are whining?

There's this funny thing called evidence, which leads people capable of critical thinking to identify facts.

As far as "private property" goes, we're not shy about saying straight out that we are seizing that property from the banks. They are criminals, regardless of legal technicality, and we'll not allow them to hold UNUSED SPACE which they've legally stolen away from people who SLEEP OUTSIDE.

Fuck your private property.

See, in reality, people will listen to your message when its presented properly and coherently. Not when you are acting like a fucking retard.

There are enough who disagree with you to change society with or without your participation, and whether you know it or not, this movement is for you too. But thanks for your opinion.

..and before you even start, Harrison..

What do you think about the two war-injured, disabled, homeless veterans who were dragged off to jail by the Oakland Police department when they were camping on the lawn of the Veterans Administration building to protest reduction of their guaranteed benefits, which they fought, were injured, and watched friends die for?

Also, I'm waiting for someone to compare EVERY MAJOR LABOR-RIGHTS ORGANIZATION IN THE COUNTRY to rag-tag patchouli-wearing hippies..

Fuck your private property.

Your typically tortured logic with generalized useless "data" doesn't qualify as "fact."

The country was founded on the concept of private property. If you were just referring to the bankers that "stole" the "unused space," that's just as stupid.
Looks like ignore just got more crowded. No clue why I hadn't added you a long time ago.

There is no way to understand Occupy without participating.

I just like to quote stupid things people say on the internet. Nothing to see here.

This country was founded on Freedom brother, which is no longer evident upon detailed inspection of the options we are given as citizens. We're only presented with options deemed to be acceptable by the ruling class, and if you're really going to try and argue that, I have no time for you.

This country was founded with strong warnings about the power of banks and their ability to control policy. It was also founded by people who TOLD US TO REVOLT and throw down corrupt governments. THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED IN THE MIDST OF A GUERRILLA REVOLUTION.
