Can't say I disagree with that banner. Who were the idiot consumers that made trucker hats popular a few years back?

[KRAM1]

Consumers suck????? So, these folks "consume" nothing? I dare say...just how do they survive? People with "no clue" often resort to mass hysteria as they have "no clue" how better to attempt to get their point across. Do these folks have a point in the first place? If one were to engage these folks in any sort of serious and factual dialogue, they would probably end up looking like a "deer in headlights". GET A JOB and do something worthwhile for a change...Geeeezzzzz. Louise...I wonder whose "dime" is paying for their chosen "lifestyle"???? Just saying....well, perhaps just wondering. Lost in their own nothingness! I do think many of the group probably do all their protesting because they just like to "cause trouble". Often, mobs have a life and "mind" of their own...the clueless led by no one with no eartly knowledge of why they do what they do.

Really pitiful bunch...get a life and do something positive with it. Good grief.

"Consumers Suck"?

Blahaha, that's one of the most amusing things I've ever read. Okay, okay, I don't normally have problems with whatever young revolutionary groups say, but this is absurd. I mean, I don't think they can sit there and tell me that they don't have one thing at their home that wasn't mass produced, and that all of their belongings were items they made themselves. Everyone in a consumer in the modern world. It's just a matter of how much a person uses up and how much they give back that really matters.

These guys, as much as I understand what they're attempting (not doing it successfully) to say, need to have a reality check and look in the mirror first.

Besides, I'd bet half of these yucks are hipsters anyways. Spoiled kids using mom and dad's money to look like they're broke. It's like those "I'm against anything mainstream" kids who shop at Hot Topic. Hah. Please.

I thought we had moved past quoting Bevis and Butthead...Guess not.

Banners and signs:

Teaching them young... gotta wonder what kind of parents bring their children to protests, especially those of the violent variety.

Can't find a better picture, but "Yay, Soviet Union flags!"

What other world is possible? One where we stand in bread lines?

One War. Class War.

The same group carrying the Soviet flag demands a world with no nations??

... and no interest in things like peace, order, and private property.

Stop fooling with our future and hand it over to... what? Government? Anarchy? The beauty of capitalism is that you make your own future.

"They need more control." As opposed to the out of control mayhem and violence of the day?

"Capitalism Kills"

Well, so do protesters. "Police and the London Ambulance Service said they were alerted by a member of the public and tried to resuscitate the man -- despite at one point being pelted by bottles from protesters -- but he was declared dead in hospital."

WWJD??

Isn't it ironic when Anarchists organize.

They consume too much air.

Except for the Jesus guy, virtually all these protestors look like middle class white people with too much time on their hands -- and who've done pretty well under capitalism.

"Some bolder financial workers leaned out office windows, taunting the demonstrators and waving 10 pound notes at them. "

"At least one police officer was hurt when a printer and other office equipment was thrown out of the RBS window."

I'm sure this didnt help...that said:

"Metropolitan Police Commander Simon O'Brien said small pockets of criminals were responsible for the outbreaks of trouble on Wednesday and would be tracked down. But he added that the vast majority of demonstrators were good-humoured."

Oh...and GB, my bet is that a healthy majority of these protesters were middle class workers...

Don't these idiots know that Obama is the president now? I mean, he's supposed to be inspiriational in a global way like no other president before.

[KRAM1]

That wasn't Obama dressed like Jesus?????

From a Bill Hicks bit about the "People Who Hate People Party":

"People who hate people - come together!!"

"NO!"

... We're kinda having trouble getting of the boards, but you know ...

"Are you gonna be there?"

"Yeah"

"Then I ain't f*&#in' coming"

"But you're our strongest member!"

"F*&@ YOU!"

"That's what I'm talking about, you a-hole!"

"F*&# Off!!"

"Damn, we almost had a meeting going..."
