    funny that "the 99%" look so white and male and educated.

    looks like they played the system for an education and don't like that the bill is now due. so it's cry, cry, cry and blame everyone but themselves.

    OWS Self-Survey Reveals Occupiers Are Disproportionately Young, White, Liberal and Educated

    The respondents were 67.1% male (vs. 49% of the population) and 64.2% were under the age of 35, 81.3% are white and just 1.3% are black.

    They are also far better educated than average Americans, with 29.7% either having or working toward a graduate degree (vs. about 10% of Americans that have advanced degrees)

    the parents probably already have a second mortgage that enabled the losers to avoid work for so long i doubt there's much of a chance for any more handouts.

    and what difference would it make what state or business these cry babies were involved in?? they are professional whiners so they would be crying about something no matter what. some people are not happy unless they are complaining ;-)

    me, i'm easy to make happy. watching these losers is quite entertaining - i just can't stop laughing when i watch the video clips of these self absorbed idiots.

    So, the author of the blog states, "However a closer look at the tables shows that OWS isn’t really all that representative." even though he clearly states at the opening of his article that, "So OWS ran a survey on their website earlier this month. Over 1,600 people responded." Btw, there are quite a few websites representing OWS.

    So, only 1,600 people responded of many thousands worldwide, on one particular website. Are you just ignoring that the numbers reflect those most likely to be involved online and on that particular website? Obviously the author did.

    How exactly do you get "looks like they played the system" from this article anyway? lol How exactly do you play the system for an education and end up getting a bill? Wouldn't playing the system mean that you don't get a bill? lol

    Just admit you were in a bitchy mood lol cuz you ain't got nuthin. lol I only wish your nuthin was as entertaining as their something. lmao

Furthermore, I hereby give up my right to sue myself for damages to my reputation, cause I don't think any less of myself and I know how much I got in the bank!

    That's what a lot of them are doing. They received financial aid or student loans, and now they don't want to pay the loans back. They think ALL education should be free, starting with forgiving THEIR student loans.

    That may be what "some" of them are doing. I think it's fair enough to be pissed off that education has become so expensive and am not surprised in the least that the imbalance in our countries economy has stirred the natives.

    To characterize them as playing the system is bs. Not saying some don't, but I think if you are fair minded, then you would recognize the position that many are in. Huge student loan bills due along with huge unemployment.

    So, what do you expect? Should they be out there demanding huge bailouts for banks? lol

    New reports from the OWS front: Internal security within the OWS is prohibiting the homeless from protesting with them and receiving meals that have been provided by the professional donation solicitation groups.

    The irony and hypocrisy just doesn't seem to end with this group.

    Well, people (kids) take out huge student loans to pay for school. But they also take out money for living, partying, etc. So, they go into these mediocre fields that aren't in demand and have huge loans. I got a big student loan, but I went into a field where there will always be a demand for me, so I should never have huge issues with finding a job (should I ever choose to leave civil service, because let's face it... they can't fire civil service employees very easily really). It really comes down to people "expecting" things they think are a right. Education is a luxury we take for granted. And banks need to stop giving mass amounts to these people. I asked for a reasonable amount, and I make my payment on time every single month. Why? Because I signed a contract.

    Tenure in school systems is the same as collective bargaining for government employees, the only one getting screwed is the low level tax payer.

    nicci, i agree. i see so many in their 20's living off student loans and aid all the while aimlessly going off to school with no real goals or plans. they don't really think about the bill coming due because after all the same system that allows them to go to school without paying will somehow make sure they are ok.

    sorry, the protesters are not really in touch with reality. life isn't easy or fair and the sooner they face that fact the better off they will be.

    if only they could use their energy in a constructive way, making changes where necessary without destroying the ideals that built this nation. i suppose the "1%" should give a free ride to the "99%" instead of the 50% or so who already get a free ride.
