    Are these all victims of society or victims of the media?

    So which ones are the domestic terrorists again, the libertarians or these misguided socialists?

    I don't know. But, I was just teaching the kids today about my feelings on violence and that I would prefer that they don't use it as a way to settle things or get their way. Show some class for Pete's Sake!

    Unfortunately, one of them is bound and determined to be a hillbilly!

    "Office workers looked down from upper-storey windows and waved cash at the demonstrators as the protest made its way down Old Broad Street.

    The gesture was met with jeers and angry shouts from demonstrators."

    That's funny.

    In my opinion, the entire world is moving towards socialism. People see the elite bankers and politicians screwing them. Most people are poor, and they envy the rich. They cannot understand that it is not capitalism thats the problem, but crony capitalism or kleptocracy thats the problem.

    The media is doing a bad job of educating people. Capitalism is good... It is what drives the engine of creativity and innovation in the world...


    Actually, one of the banners read "Get Rid of Money!" And thats why the bankers were teasing the protesters by waving 10 GBP notes...

    You see what the kleptocrats did at the G20 meetings?

    G-20 to give $1 trillion to IMF, World Bank

    That third photo looks like the cops are about to bash the brains out of seemingly harmless people who aren't interested in fighting.

    The "protesters" should be thrown in jail.

    Waste of fucking space.
