Two weeks into Occupy Wall Street protests, movement is at a crossroads

NEWS FLASH CI: My posts are overwhelmingly opinion (just as yours are except you don't, apparently, know it). Occassionally I will post citiation to what I consider fact.

If you question the basis of my opinion, be specific.

I'm certainly not going to adopt footnotes for my posts to satisfy your reliably negative reactions.

NEWS FLASH : Opinion supported by fact is far better than opinion that has no facts supporting it.

I really do not know what to tell you but the abolition movement was longer than a year was it not? How about women's rights? Can you think of any other large movements that took more than a year?

You can bet your hard earned tax dollar "that paid many analyst to go to college, only to become underpaid occupiers, are taking notes and planing the next move. When you have a majority of citizens undereducated it takes a very long time to educate them and get enough support behind a movement that can prevail. Hooray for socialism.

Yes, the Civil Rights Movement took years.

My posts are not "overwhelmingly" personal opinion. They are usually a combination of opinion and materials I hear or read in the media.

Most my "opinions" can be supported by reliable sources; your's cannot.

Also, I welcome questions about my "opinions." That's been my SOP as long as I've posted on a2k.

You wrote,

This is evidence you don't know what you are talking about. I know my credible sources, you don't.

If you're smart enough, you'll ask the right questions to try to stump me, but you can't. That's because I rely on my opinions based on my readings of credible sources, and I stay away from FOX News. Ask away.

Thanks for your videos. I just shared one at the #ows forum.

Stay strong.

One reply wasn't enough?

Hey, tell you what, let's stipulate that your posts are scholarly essays while mine are half-assed opinions and I have no intention of ever providing you with the level of evidence you provide and demand of others.

It will save you time in responding to me which you can put to better use in conducting research and publishing treatises.

I am glad you enjoyed and maybe you can forward this one and help make a change in these peoples life.

You are an idiot; who ever claimed my posts were scholarly?

However, your's are half-assed opinions based on your imagination. If not, back them up with some credible sources - when challenged.

I rarely agree with Finn but I think he was correct about many of your post being scholarly and if you could loosen up on the name calling I think that they would be even more so.

I'm not scholarly; I'm just an old man who calls a spade a spade.

When posters start to make untrue statements about me, I retaliate. I'm short on patience when it comes to stupid statements.

What's most effective about the video, is that it takes people's minds off the slaughter going on in Syria right now, perpetrated with Russian built attack helicopters.

Do you have any evidence of the black ruski helicopter story, Izzy?

I do have evidence that Syria, along with Libya, were slated for regime change in the NWO plans outlined by former VP Cheney.

Just because there's no Russians on the board to defend their nation, doesn't mean that I automatically believe war propaganda coming from Mz Clinton.

It is war, BTW, and we both know the first casualty of any war is the TRUTH.

I know that Russia has enabled the Assad regime to carry out indiscriminate killings by threatening to use its veto in the UN security council. I also know that RT is a propaganda tool of ther Kremlin.

Nobody is disputing that.

Have you ever thought about getting yourself a web cam and talking about the things that come natural to you like honest John does a few minutes a day?

That looks like work to me, and I'm "really" retired.
