   don't worry I won't be in the physical building for the 99% to stop me from shopping, I will be sitting on my couch shopping on my computer; the 99% need to target special interest groups that make/control the laws in this country.

   Historically speaking, the OWS theme is neither simplistic, nor lacking precedent:
   " 'Of course the world revolves around the Dow Jones' and other stock indexes 'but all around the world little voices are being raised to say that man is unhappy even if the stock market is doing well.' " ' " Money decides everything ... that's why we are working to get out of the system.' " So spoke Danielle Mitterrand, "an avowed leftist," as quoted in an obituary in today's LA Times. For those unacquainted with her, she was the wife of the first socialist Prime Minister of France. She had been awarded the Croix de Guerre for fighting in the French resistance during WWII.

   I find it disturbing that soo many people are attacking these people for exercising their rights and standing up for what they believe in..if u don't stand for something you'll fall for it all. Just because u disagree with the movement doesn't mean you're right and they're wrong and vice versa you just have different political views.. for everyone to be so anti-communism..we as a country borrow an awful lot of money from the biggest communist on the planet so what does that say about us?...(america made in china).. Shm you know opinions are like ass holes..everyone has on and they stink..its a lot of foul comments on here...attacking someone because u disagree just shows how daft you really are..#imjustsayn

     They want to protest then fine. Just stay out of my face when I shop and/or commute to work.

   Here's what happens if the 99% don't shop – then other 99%ers get laid off!! This movement is strike upon strike on the middle and low classes. PLEASE, I beg of you, STOP trying to help me!

   You idiots! What happens to all those people who actually work for a living and rely on those
   companies to give them a paycheck every week? Oh, I forgot. You don't work for a living, you
   leach off all of us and expect that we are all going to support you. Maybe you aren't the 99%
   afterall. Perhaps you are simply the foul-breathed, unwashed, lazy 17%.

   I think I will only shop on Black Friday, so that I can buy stuff that I would've bought anyway for less money than any other day, thus decreasing the profits of the stores.

    We need an occupy list of these idiots so that all business can boycott hiring them. They currently live in their parents basements and will be doing so for many years to come.

    You know, enough is enough. The occupy movement says they're all about free speech and free expression, yet they're always disrupting the lives of others who are just living their lives. Their rights end when they start stomping on mine. I'm going shopping on Friday, and no occupier should get in my way. I've had enough of them to last me a lifetime. I've had enough of their threats and bullying tactics. Occupy Black Friday is going to backfire on them because people have lost the tolerance for this movement.Go home!

      It's obviously over your head, Dave.
      Do you think any items from Amazon are shipped from a warehouse, or do they just drop from thin air?
      Ever heard of cyber attacks?
      Think outside the box there, buddy.

      Yeah, they "totally" intend to protest at Amazon.com, and protesting in no way means not shopping online, and rallying folks to also not buy online, but yeah, you know, let's jump all over them for failing to think for a few seconds Steve.

    I find it funny that all the occupy activists are boycotting Apple, Sprint, Verizon, ect. yet are still using them as their main source of communication. Whether you get a pay as you go or a plan or a pre pay you are still giving your money to those companies. I think they should go all the way or go home and snuggle up under their snuggies they got for Christmas last year and get over it

      Why do you think it's funny? Do you expect them to use smoke signals?

    Since when did supporting local businesses become the mantra chant of the lazy people with no work ethic. I have both and I don't want to give my money to a large company that doens't give a s@#t about me!. It's that simple. You do what you want with your $. As for me and my hard earned cash, it will only go to those companies that have integrity and treat employees with respect. Freedom let's me decide.

      Ever wonder why your cash is "hard-earned" but the 1% don't lift a finger and rake in billions?

    To fix most of our problems – don't buy Chinese. Then pass a law against lobbying and buying our politicians.

      Yes, Campaign Finance reform would be a great start as would some limits or regulation of lobbying
