Thread: Occupy Wall Street around the world.... Your thoughts and feelings about it!

So really, what everyone is saying here is that people in the USA and Western Europe who are feeling oppressed and cheated should not have the same opportunity to protest as others, just because these countries are not considered by Western media to be evil dictatorships.

Obviously the Americans who started the protest feel seriously wronged... their living standard is bad ant they have no opportunities, all the while the Fed is supporting greedy banks and financing wars that are of no benefit to regular citizens...

SHould they not have the right to express their views on that?
Seems to me, more people have been arrested in the US over this, than in the recent demos in Belarus, just as a comparison. Both Belarussians, Syrians, Europeans and Americans should be able to have a peaceful demonstration if they want.

In countries like Belarus, both the US and some European countries support the opposition financially and with lots of material and leadership training.

Imagine if China, Russia or someone else started pouring money over the Wall Street occupiers...

I just want the little neo-con gang here (you know who you are) to have that perspective.

I'm not clear where in this chain anyone said that the protestors cannot protest. I live in America - I totally support their right to protest.
