Well for starters there is absolutely no good non-political reason to be against a balanced budget ammendment.

One thing that you have to understand is: when western countries deicide to act somewhere in the world, it's because they have some material interest in it and because they can make money out of it. Just forget that NATO or USA or UN fights for democracy and stuff like that.

I already spoke about this - 18 years ago Srebrenica massacre happened, the biggest one since WWII. UN could stopped it, but didn't. They were too busy drinking and dancing (literally!) with murderers.

Ok, Gadaffi was a mass murderer. Does anyone know how many lifes he took? I don't know. But I know that USA and NATO soldiers killed 110.000 CIVILIANS in Iraq since 2003 and nobody gives a shit. Nobody talks today that USA had massive debt towards Gadaffi and that now this debt is gone.

One sided bullshit.

I don't care about the protest, it's the police's alleged actions that worry me.

You dont know what the occupy guys did to inspire those actions.

When he was first arrested around 6pm on Tuesday, she said: “The police thought that he was Latino and started calling him Poncho and making racial slurs and sexual gestures. He said the fire department people and paramedics were doing this along with the cops."

Once hospitalised, the man filed a police brutality report, after which the officer recording the complaint told him he would “go to jail for assault or battery of a police officer and resisting arrest,” Anne said. He was then moved from the hospital to the local county jail.

"I talked to him twice now since he’s been in Santa Rita [County Jail] and he said they were basically torturing him there. They beat him in front of a bunch of people including a nurse, and then they took him to another room and they put his head in a toilet, put his hands in a toilet, threw him against a wall." The allegations could not be independently verified.

Still, the police are supposed to protect civilians.

It's this part that I find very upsetting. If it's true it's a very serious offense against democracy in general and the great country of the United States of America.
