Also, your reply was 20 minutes after the delete so I hope you understand.
The reason I deleted my post was that I realized debating political issues on a Fuzz forum with a dude from Idaho, probably wouldn't change anything including either of our minds.
Oh, I was just requoting it for emphasis on the "my balls".

Why do I get the feeling that people don't like hearing that they are part of the problem?
I guess I feel like there is to much us and them attitude. "They are fucking us",...and while I'm no stranger to having that feeling,...I think that attitude contributes too much to combativeness and division. I hate the "unity" cliche because I think that not very many people understand what that means and it's a little too hippie for me,...but the idea is not without merit.

I just don't think that we are going to be able to "get em" by becoming embattled with Wall Street and DC. There is too much money to be made,...and the bribery and back scratching [EDIT:] I mean dick sucking; goes too deep to expect any sort of meaningful reform. I thought when I voted for Obama that he would effect some sort of change,...in fact that seemed to be the crux of his campaign. What a pool of lies that turned out to be. Maybe I expected too much out of one man,...but hope turned into realization that politicians are all pretty much all interested in one thing,...job security.
We have to subvert these financial institution,...corrupt corporations and useless politicians by changing ourselves, our priorities and our desires.
I have often wondered what would happen if every single voter in America decided not to vote. Just stayed home or went to work or went about their day. It's not like our votes count for anything anyway.
I agree with this as well.
Also you have to take in momentum... this BS has been going on for a very long time.

He had replied to and quoted a post I deleted after I deleted it.

You never truly understand the difficulties of the touch pad until you try to click "show" on a NSFW marquee.

Wall Street can suck it. Misguided or otherwise, I'm glad this movement/protest/cult/whatever is happening.

The worst is trying to click "hide" quickly if it really is NSFW.

dumb question here:
is the idea behind the protest
"get rid of corruption in the marketplace"
or
"we're able to support ourselves but we aren't as rich, a bloo bloo bloo"
because i honestly can't tell at this point
also i'm wondering if anyone here has actual grounding in basic finance and economics, because while i'm seeing statistics left and right, i'm not seeing a lot of the foundations of current market policies. also wall street is just the home to the NYSE. there's plenty of other markets that ain't seeing this kind of action.
i get it stands for something, but the message is gettin lost
