   8 years ago today I was hanging out at the Occupy Wall Street camp. It was a lot of fun there even if the people were a bit odd they were still good people.

     @DracoMagister In the end I decided I didnt agree with the vast majority of people involved in the movement. Though I do like the fact that it got people thinking and engaged it seems that it got people thinking in the wrong direction. But I like to go to these sorts of things before drawing conclusions.

     In the end the whole mentality was either all government bad, yay anarchism, or the more moderate members basically thought "big business and millionairs/billionairs are bad" both of which I find to be inherently flawed and harmful ideas. But they were peaceful and willing to hear counteropinions so they had my respect all the same.

     @DracoMagister I am glad people started talking and debating as a result of this movement. One thing I appreciated is how every day they had an area designated where people could go and debate and discuss issues and everyone would listen

     @DracoMagister Can yu cite a false fact that I actually relayed at some point? I try to go out of my way to research any fact before I incorporate it into my decision making process. I am already well aware of the overwhelming amount of false information on either side in any issue, so that wont really be anything new for me to read.

     @DracoMagister Already well aware of that in almost all things. 90% of the claimed facts in the general public on any issue tends to be BS

     @DracoMagister yes I have. On most issues in fact. People never bother to challenge things that agree with their biases. So they hear something and demand it must be true just by virtue of the fact that everyone said it. Its sad and ultimately self defeating.
