there's a legitimate gripe somewhere in there, obscured by a mass of dirty hippies playing bongos and generally goofing off.

I know what their message should be, but it seems like they're just whining that they have no money while others do.

Pickled, this is the small point I was trying to make. I agree with the concept, but this literal protest is completely meaningless, and even worse messageless.

Here's the point though - these protestors aren't protesting a goddamn thing. They are, en mass, arriving destinationless, seeking out their demographic and huddling in the pre-desginated "protest" area. They've identified no demands, and have conceded at every opportunity to law enforcements demands.

I legitimately do not have a clue why you're assuming I'm on 1 side or the other?

Because wittingly or otherwise, you're parroting propoganda.

So how comfortable are you with the subprime/derivatives mess of 2008? How many of those responsible for defrauding borrowers and securities mis-ratings have been brought up on charges, let alone thrown in jail?

I've talked to a bunch of these kids with tats and piercings. Some of them are sharp as hell.

I'm not, nor are those I've seen doing the same. I'm starting to doubt that you've actually talked to them. Anyone decrying socialists or communists is indicating very clearly where they're getting their point of view.

I can't speak for Hoggen, but I personally have no issue with the demographic as a whole nor an issue with them "occupying" my spot on the sidewalk.

If anything, I'm just disgusted that THESE IDIOTS are representing values and opinions that I agree with.

bro "acting like it" is asking serious questions of yourself and of like-minded others.

start. doing. it.

Did you know that in EverQuest's ALPHA period in late 1998/early 1999, that the Monk class's ability "Mend" was actually their version of Bind Wound, and could be used as frequently as any non-monk could use Bind Wound.

It took a tester literally leveling a monk to lvl 30 in Alpha (we're talking zone floors that are 100% transparent at the time) to identify this would be OP.

He took the time to do this because he asked a serious question of himself and peers.
