The constructive accomplishments of the civil rights movement for the same period of time? No one claims that this is a short term movement. I don't expect much of anything to happen before it breaks up. I expect that tensions will run high and things will get worse if things don't improve.

The civil rights movement had a coherent set of demands, and satisfying those demands improved our country. The same cannot be said about the OWS movement. They are incoherent, and much of what they advocate would be a disaster if implemented. If this is the best excuse you can come up with for the OWS protesters, well, I think that pretty much sums up how pathetic the movement is. But hey, they're outraged, and you're outraged, so why not jump on board the crazy train?

The disaster is already upon us, Ziggurat, and it being implemented daily.

What is a "bankster"?

It's a word combining the words banker, monster, gangster and wanker.

Are you still standing by your claim that OWS protestors are sleeping in their own feces?

Not everywhere... in some places they have had porta potties delivered by the cities they are protesting in... and in other places they have mcdonalds/other businesses bathrooms.

Not having a portaloo or access to public or private restrooms does nor equate to sleeping in one's own feces.

My question was specifically directed at Alt+F4, who made the specific claim that protesors were sleeping in their own feces

You know, some context would be nice. You do know what "context" means, don't you?
Maybe these people are being taunted by that piece of crap pimp boy O"Keefe. That they haven't ground that slimebag into the sidewalk shows remarkable restraint.

Or maybe they are upset about someone who came up with the sort of idea that only an agent-provacateur would suggest.

Come on, man. What is going on here?

December 1, 1955 - Rosa Parks arrested for refusing to give up her seat.
December 3, 1955 - Montgomery bus boyocott begins.

Forget context, how about facts. The guy in that video is Edward Hall, III. He's a trust fund baby who has enough money to attend Columbia University as a non-matiriculating student.

People croak for drug over-dose or suicide or stress-related ill health all over the place because they are so despondent over the way that life under predatory capitalism sucks. Why does this invalidatge the rage that led to the occupation?

Do you have some facts or statistics as to how many drug overdoses are caused by despondency over capitalism?

Oh dear! I hope no one is wanking off on the money when those evil, evil bank tellers are loading up the ATM machines!

Yeah, but now it's getting cold in NYC so they get to sleep in their own feces in little tents.
 
This reminds me of a quote by an OWS participant:

"If you're going to come here and get our food, bedding and clothing, have books and medical supplies for no charge, they need to give back," Digioia said. "There's a lot of takers here and they feel entitled."

"Cured"? Being gay isn't a disease. Are you homophobic?

Kidding. But I do suspect that all this "Republicans are secretly gay" crap reveals homophobia among the politically correct liberals who spout it. Not pointing the finger at you here.
 
Meanwhile, OWS adds another accoutrement of the society they are leaving behind; rape shelters.

Zuccotti Park has become so overrun by sexual predators attacking women in the night that organizers felt compelled to set up a female-only sleeping tent yesterday to keep the sickos away.

The large, metal-framed “safety tent” -- which will be guarded by an all-female patrol -- can accommodate as many as 18 people and will be used during the day for women-only meetings, said Occupy Wall Street organizers.
