The list hasn't been voted on yet. I don't even see a list on their website. Source for "widespread debt forgiveness"? |

this goes out to all of those that believe they aren't being affected by this countries' economy and way of governing and that the world is still flat, simply bc they have a job (as of now) that's maintaining them...don't spoil yourself!! bc if you were to be laid off or fired...you think it will be easy for you to find a job right after? and if you luckily do, do you think it will be anything close to what you have now (salary base, schedule/hours, etc)?
EVERYONEEEEEEE that's not part of that "1%", which i'm sure is everyone on this board and their mother, should be involved in this..unless you're ting out $$ and have several mansions off the shore around the world with a private jet to get there while the person next to you is struggling to pay their rent.
btw, just to clear things up...i may seem bitter bc i sound butthurt but, thankfully, i have a respectable job with a good pay thats under contract by the state..however, my life would be much better if it weren't being taken advantage of in a country where im producing to help out the economy for it to come back and bite me in the ass! |

Thanks - seems to be based on this article which was written on Tuesday: http://nplusonemag.com/occupywallstreet
When I was down at the General Assembly on Wednesday I heard they were still drawing up potential demands which will be voted on this weekend. So some of these may very well become official but I'm pretty sure these aren't. Even the n+1 article says, "I agreed to take notes, and as we talked wrote down the following list of potential demands" |

Nothing like Occupy leaking a hoax to get more people to show up to the protest. Event announced at 11:30. Refuted by Radiohead's management by noon. Occupy didn't say it was fake until 4:30. Do the math. |

One biased niche blogsite quoting some other niche personal (somebody's) blogsite is not what any intelligent person should call "reporting". Those list of demands are some bull notes the guy jotted down from hearsay.
The "reporting" (I don't even think we should give it the honor of calling it that) on this demonstration has been absolutely ridiculous. [Insert large media outlet here] interviews [insert odd hipster Williamsburg character from Northwestern State here] and generates an entire story full of oddball quotes and pictures. Obviously, they're not going to report any of the intelligent informed people they spoke to there, and obviously they're going to spend hours weeding through their photos for the most wacky and colorful pictures they can put on their site. Articles like these show how the media world are DIRECTLY and proactively fighting the demonstration, it's unbelievable.
Business Insider really has the balls to base an entire article and give source credit as "Source: n+1", what the is n+1? Sadly, they're not the only ones doing this kind of "reporting".
It's like Yahoo! Sports quoting some guy's blog about what tactics he thinks the New York Giants are going going to take in this week's game, and headlining it "Tom Coughlin's strategies for this week's game." |

Yeah that was dirty, and left a bad taste in my mouth, not cool... "Beginners' mistake" as they say it; the organizers, if you can call them that, are regular everyday young people, very energetic, but yes, not so organized. They're certainly learning more and more each day and having the unions on their side is certainly going to help. |
