and yet the obama + immelt (CEO GE) love affair goes on and we don't hear a peep from those who normally condemn low, or much less, zero corporate taxes.
Why do you suppose that is?
THIS MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT

Anyone who supports, and or looks forward to Socialism, and or Communism is totally fucked up in the head. Show me where that has ever worked out well.
i suppose you can't read OR see, eh?
That had NOTHING to do with communism.
It's about CAPITALISM
I couldn't agree more. Just look at all the wonderfull stuf capitalism has given us. We have world peace, no poverty, there's enough food for everyone on the planet at a reasonable price, no inequality, affordable healthcare for everyone, there are enough jobs for everyone on the planet and we all make enough money to live a decent life. Yeah man, capitalism rocks!
I say lets start a witch hunt and hang all the socialist and communist pigs who are threatening the superiorety of capitalism.

Why save the world, when you can rule it?
Not sure what you mean by that, so I'll itemise points:
1) If you're claiming that peacefull protests have no chance of changing the world, then need I point out that the peacefull protests of the late, great Ghandi succeeded in removing the single most powerfull empire (the English empire) from India.
Compared to the English empire, the worlds most powerfull military force at the time, in possession of two thirds of the surface of the globe (more than any before or since, despite Russia's massive headstart granted her by her own territory), the corporations, with (officially at least) limited capabilities should not present such a challenge, if only the people can become as one mind and mobilise together against the threat.
2) If you're asking what people desire as a result of changes, then I'd say that equal distribution of resources would be a good start or fair minimum.
I wasn't talking about a specific case, I was talking about a guard in a Nazi concentration camp who's only doing his job.
:yesyes: Couldn't have said it better.
I can't believe there is a law that says that a corporation is a natural person, I mean, wtf? :wtf:
:yesyes: :thumbsup:
That didn't show up on my comp, can you PM me a link with the details, or something bitte?
Show me where Socialism or Communism has ever been genuinely practiced.
Anybody who supports and or looks forward to Capitalism, is totally fucked up in the head.
It may interest you to know that a great man once described Socialism as "The sermon on the mount, applied".
BRILLIANT!

if the protesters are misguided and just wasting their time
then why are you so bent out of shape about it?

It gets even better. Because a corporation is a natural person it has all the rights we have, including free speech. The supreme court has ruled that lobbying is a form of free speech making it legal to buy politicians.
My 8th post and I'm already getting some love :shy:
if you don't like Obama, wouldn't you theoretically be IN SUPPORT of OWS, because right now, its just Obama vs the GOP sideshow candidates (slam dunk for the DNC at this point).
In a sane political system, Obama would be getting primaried hard. There would be a candidate to express the Left's intense frustration with Obama's lackluster performance and bought n' paid for policies. In reality, given the horrendously corrupt system, the winning candidate needs $1 Billion, and there's not enough cash (in the dispirited Democratic donor base) to support more than one candidate!
So, the anger on the left doesn't have an electoral avenue of expression (in part, OWS is an answer to this blockage). Those of us on the lefty side of the aisle, we can't go the ballot box and voice support for a liberal alternative. Because of our god-awful political system.
