In reply to the discussion: Please Kick and Rec if you support OWS [View all]SomethingFishy
(4,876 posts)160. Well, what you are seeing is a thread in response
to numerous threads in the last few days about the problems with OWS.
Whatever else you think it's about, it's in your imagination. No one is "working hard" here, the OP was checking to see if the threads from the last few days have much support or if it's just a few blowhard keyboard commando's who like to sit on the sidelines and tell everyone how poorly they are doing.

Funny how the people "concerned" about OWS' "tactics" are the same ones who wish it would go away.
