Well, in the sense that they're protests which probably caused annoyance and inconvenience for people living near them, yes. In other ways they're completely different but I wasn't talking about them... just the ways they're the same. In any event I also mentioned all other protests across the world, including the USA, obviously. I've been on a few protest things in my time and, on occasion, they can get messy, although very rarely violent, at least the ones I've been on.

Since everybody here thinks they're an expert in the real world: Fox News Tells OWS There’s No Such Thing As Income Inequality
FOX is right, these people DON'T know how the real world works. In the real world you throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at your problem to make it go away. http://pameladrew.newsvine.com/_new...ut-plan-to-undermine-occupy-wall-street-video
Yeah, you live in Rivertucky. I win. Olivia Munn says hi. So does Wes Studi Oh and that one guy, Chuck Norris or something...
The men who were in that room to sign the Declaration of Independence were willing to die for their beliefs. Comparing those brave men to this occupation horsecrap is insulting.
So when someone actually gets killed by these overzealous miscreants known as "cops" this won't be horsecrap anymore?
But that's OK because they're "small business owners". You know, the ones that are the foundation of the American economy
