[quote=briansd1][quote=flu]I’m trying to figure out why people like this 60 year person feels that “he’s (paulson) the type of person we’re against”… Just because he’s rich and has means to make money, their against him? Why? I guess people are just pissed at anyone that is “rich”…It’s people like this that behave in robin hood that just want a redistribution of wealth…. French revolution anyone?[/quote]
If that’s your understanding of the French Revolution, then I’m not surprised at your view of the current protests.
The protesters are ordinary citizens, not a political party. Isn’t protesting for change and reforms good enough?
BTW, what were the protesters in Tiennamen Square or Tahrir Square asking?[/quote]
It’s good if they understand the purpose and if the protest is directed at something concrete. Most of the folks that are protesting probably don’t know what they are really “against”. except that have some feeling of being “oppressed” by anyone who makes more then them.
Please don’t bring up Tiennamen unless you really know what that was about, which I doubt you do, except reading about it textbooks and seeing it covered on CNN. If you find Tiennamen so appalling, you’d be boycotting any goods produced there and boycotting cosmetics made there…But as many americans do these days, one often says one thing with conviction, and yet one’s action is completely contrarian…Last time I checked, it’s not like China is a democratic state yet….
