BTW, having actually been there, it's about 2k people in and around Zuccotti Park. Maybe a few thousand more come in for the scheduled protests, but for reference you can get 100k for annual marches in D.C. like the March for Life.

don't see how you can blame the masses for this when the upper class has been systematically pushing them down for the last 40 years, they didn't initiate the conflict.

Based on how the protesters use it, it seems to involve imprisoning bankers for...whatever...and seizing their money to redistribute.

Some are also calling for a violent revolution.

How is it trolling to point out that all you're doing is complaining that other people have more than you?

Bull****. Living standards are higher today than ever before, and on average poverty is lower than ever as well.

A protest of 700 people would be pathetically small and not really worth commenting on anyway.

(Not that there weren't Tea Party rallies smaller than that which were covered in the national media, but they shouldn't have been).

Bull****. Living standards are higher today than ever before, and on average poverty is lower than ever as well.

income disparity has consistently risen and for every "living standard" that has moved forward there have been those that have been moved back, for instance the food and water supply being poisoned with fluoride and HFCS. life has gotten easier for the upper and upper middle class, not for everyone else which is a growing portion of society as the wealthy continue trying to wipe out the middle class.

for a poor person being born today...you're literally shot up with mercury the day you are born, fed other neurotoxins consistently throughout your life, go to a public school that is underfunded and badly managed, aggressively marketed drugs and alcohol as well as a pop culture that promotes distraction and complacency, get no job opportunities that don't amount to indentured servitude(minimum wage doesn't even cover rent+utilities+food for most people), get harassed by the police unprovoked while they ignore or are sometimes actively involved in actual crime themselves, have your semi-slave job shipped overseas in favor of literal slaves because the board of directors at your company are entirely shameless, and then get told by these same people that you shouldn't get unemployment because it's an "entitlement" and that you're apparently spoiled because you resent these people trying to destroy you and your family so that they can get a new private jet.

yeah, advocating violence is ridiculous and completely futile to boot, but people being upset is completely understandable.

you're literally shot up with mercury the day you are born

You get more mercury from seafood than you ever did from vaccines, and mercury has been removed from childhood vaccine preservatives.

there's a difference between ingesting something orally and injecting it directly into ones bloodstream, but I stand corrected if that practice has stopped

Meh, cancer.

If you don't want to die of cancer, then go skydiving every day.

Yes, the rate of people dying of Cancer in the US is quite high; I believe it's even the #1 killer in the country. But how many of the people who die of cancer are like...80?

http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2003/pr27/en/

"The predicted sharp increase in new cases – from 10 million new cases globally in 2000, to 15 million in 2020 - will mainly be due to steadily ageing populations in both developed and developing countries and also to current trends in smoking prevalence and the growing adoption of unhealthy lifestyles."

"Examples of areas where action can make a difference to stemming the increase of cancer rates and preventing a third of cases are:
* Reduction of tobacco consumption. It remains the most important avoidable cancer risk. In the 20th century, approximately 100 million people died world-wide from tobacco-associated diseases
* A healthy lifestyle and diet can help. Frequent consumption of fruit and vegetables and physical activity can make a difference."

So there you go, from the World Health Organization, the best ways to prevent cancer are....
* Don't smoke
* Eat vegetables and exercise
* Don't live to be really old

If anyone's interested, here in Britain (where, crazy though the concept might be, news broadcasts are generally required to be true), it's being reported as pretty damn big.

The only reason to say that babies are "injected with mercury" is to scare parents from vaccinating their children. People who think vaccines cause autism pointed to the mercury in Thimerosal as a cause, and even though no causal link was found it was removed anyway. Autism rates were not affected.

And yet people are still saying things like that with no context.

I love how people still try denying this. It is a literal undeniable fact that the water supply has sodium fluoride in it and that sodium fluoride makes cancer rates go through the roof.

Everyone knows cancer rates have skyrocketed, yet they're told one of the major reasons why and laugh it off like ignorant sheeple. It's unreal.

I wish I still had some of these papers lying around.

The amount of water you have to drink for there to be any danger would kill you before you'd have a chance to develop cancer.

The highest child cancer rates all coincide with the countries who vaccinate their children the most -- America, Australia, Western Europe and New Zealand. Not a coincidence.

Well they aren't dying from diseases like other places so cancer becomes the leading cause of death.
