So what do the UK Thrashers think about the Occupy movement? Is their cause a valid one? Are their methods acceptable? And is this thread more than a desperate attempt to boost conversation?

I have to say I find the following clip quite hilarious: from the fuss the camerawoman is making, you'd think they were suffering ACTUAL hardship like the people of Syria - when actually they're just sitting in a park and being pepper sprayed for not moving:

On a sort of related point, seeing a Michael Moore interview about the movement gave me a great idea which I wish South Park had thought of: it's basically that an immense, Blob-esque Michael Moore single-handedly "occupies" Wall St, clogging up the whole road with his flab. Then the episode is somehow about the authorities trying to shift him, with Cartman spearheading the operation.

But come on guys let's stay focused here.

I agree with it, though it's entirely in vain.

It's all relative, I doubt if a supporter of the 99 percent movement were to become incredibly rich they would still support the cause.

No, there are people that are very dedicated. Jacque Fresco for instance, his ideas for a resource based economy are very appealing.

I could care less. But I'd rather not have a bunch of smelly angst-ridden hippies clogging up my city centre.

Goddammit, I've been shamed!

Mitchell can take his soap box and cram it into his bizarrely shaped face.

As a character he was adorable, but as a preachy self important twunt he can boo off.

Completely disagree, I think each one of his rants is spot on. Surprised you don't too actually! I guess I am even more of a grumpy old man

I just honestly don't care what the fucker has to say, as far as I'm concerned his a marionette.

I prefer to formulate my own opinions, not have them forced into my mind with his weasel voice.

I prefer to be told opinions. Can't be arsed thinking for myself.

Well I've just told you not to.

Occupy my bum.

Alright then.

Occupy is a exercise in futility, gather wherever you want, unless you start smashing or burning shit the big man don't give a fuck, 'cos he knows that while you're standing out in the shitty weather you'll go buy a nice starbucks to warm yourself up and use your iPhones using your expensive 3G contract to tweet about pulling down commercialism.

a few months on, don't those "99%" and "We've already won" slogans seem riduculous? angsty middle-class wankers eating cat on brie and picking shitballs out of their arse hair.
