If most god-fearing people are dying off, it is either because god has forsaken

The Occupy protesters aren't anti-capitalism nor or they anti-
technology. What they are against is corporatism. The country and the
government is supposed to be about the people, not the corporations.

In the USA we are now having to compete against workers who labor for
less than a buck an hour. We are now entering into a "free" trade
agreement with South Korea, a country that sub-contracts with North
Korea and their slave labor camps.

The gap between the rich and the poor is becoming greater each year.
In the richest country we have tens of millions who don't have enough
to eat, tens of millions who cannot afford a doctor or a dentist, tens
of millions who can't find a job at any wage, let alone a living wage.

Don't forget, the American Revolution was supported by a small
minority. The vast majority of Americans, at the time, did not wish to
secede from England.

When large groups are gathered for causes, one small action can spur
the crowds into action. Very few predicted the day of the French
Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Cuban Revolution or any of the
violent revolutions that have taken place in the last couple of
hundred years. Be happy the Occupy protesters are just occupying parks
and gardens.

I've heard some of the protesters speak and some have said that they
are anti-capitalism. If they're against corporatism, then they are
hypocrites because anytime you shop, eat or buy anything from a
corporation, you are supporting the system. This is why we vote for
people to represent us. The pressure should be on the politicians.
Whose rules are we going to follow now? There has to be a standard
law and order to things or we'll be facing anarchy.

And things are even worse in North Korea. How come we aren't GLAD to
raise their standard of living by giving little kids jobs that don't
involve blowing tourists for pocket change?

Do you see any of these ipod-toting 'protesters' standing in front of a
tank? Setting themselves on fire? Illegal downloading of crap music
and tweeting really aren't in the same ballpark, are they?

If you have a toilet to flush, thank a corporation.

Ballots, who can trust them? It's not who we vote for, it's who counts
them.

Politicians, what a choice? We can vote for Demolicans or
Republocrats, but there is no real choice.

The system used to work well. In the 80's the USA was the biggest
lender in the world, today we are the biggest debtor. Our wealth has
been sold.

Politicians are for sale. Corporations are no longer limited in how
much money they can spend to buy... er I mean influence our elections.

You heard some speakers say they are anti capitalism? That's the
thing with movements that include a wide variety of views, you'll hear
all kinds of things.

As far as anarchy if the laws are not followed, well that is the
definition of anarchy. But America has a long history of civil
disobedience, from the Boston Tea Party to the Selma bus strikes.

You can condemn the protesters if you want, your right as a Fox News
viewer. You could just as easily try to understand why all these young
people are upset about a system that will have them paying a debt for
the rest of their lives for a party that they were not invited to.

If we were at a restaurant, and I had lobster and caviar and you had
ice water and a cracker, would you be willing to split the bill in
half? Of course not. So why should the young be forced to pay the bill
for the wealthy's high living?

Be careful not to underestimate these protesters, their demands
should not be dismissed out of hand. Change or be changed, I'm afraid
that may be the choice in the upcoming years. Of course we could all
just eat cake.

Why aren't they protesting in DC, demanding laws requiring confiscation
of other people's wealth (defined as 'They have more than I do')?
Perhaps they can take up a collection among themselves and bribe a few
legislators.

Since there are different sects of Christians that don't agree on the
same things, there are those who are more true to the Word and those
that are more corrupted. As you know, corruption can be found
anywhere.

I can't disagree with you. Many right wingers have corrupted the Word
and will be held accountable before God. However, I have seen
liberals use scripture for their advantage, too, but no scripture is
of any private interpretation. The Devil did this when he tempted
Jesus.

Once you start condemning corporations, how do you know where to stop?

I repeat, it's unlikely that kohler or american standard have had anything to do

Only those who are honest-hearted and diligently seek God will find
