[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 935009, member: 16651"] In this instance, burning the flag wasn't simply "moronic"....it was criminal. And, in case it's relevant, I actually made a point of speaking with "occupiers" on two separate occasions...and I found their prevalent attitude on both occasions to be one of "gimme, gimme". They "want" jobs. They "want" financing. They "want" health care. They "want" OTHERS to pay taxes. In total, there's a very long list of things they "want" from society, but a very short-to-non-existent list of what they are willing to PROVIDE. In addition, I left with the opinion that they represent the primary reason for there being such a level of alleged "inequality" in this country; i.e. - that their "class" of society (using the word VERY loosely and somewhat sarcastically!) just isn't willing to show the initiative, or express the willingness to compete, or expend the effort to EARN their way up from "inequality". One wonders how they can expect to treated as "equal" when they refuse to function on "equal" terms? There are exceptions, of course....but, generally speaking, I can't avoid thinking that, if they represent the "99%", then God help the country. [/QUOTE]
