Challenge:
Give one clear argument that the protestors are putting forward, and with their solution. Just one. One that can stand to a bit of critisism. One that's not half-baked and wouldn't be circumvented by the city within half an hour.

You can't campaign against something and not expect someone to ask this question.

Step up to the mark or piss off. Your choice...

wtf? I'm not doing your research for you.
You're gonna have to read a webpage on your own, like a big boy, at some point.

I don't like the choices you gave me, far too narrow and restricted, but as they came out of your mind, I'm not terribly surprised at their limited scope.

I choose daiquiri, instead. I think we can all be happy with that.

*edit*
If I give you your clear argument, will you go away and suck down the business end of a shotgun for me?

-Do NOT put your money in a big bank. Instead bank locally using a building society, credit union or community bank. Encourage all your relatives and friends to do the same. Get them to encourage all THEIR friends and relatives to do the same.

It really isn't terribly difficult to stand up and demand change.

Oh, that'll work.
I wonder where all the banks and building societies came from originally... Oh yes, from the very same principle.

Are you suggesting we legislate small local banks so that they can never combine for the sake of efficiency, thus giving poorer returns than the bigger banks? It's like buying Fairtrade chocolate. You'll never compete financially, only ethically. And when it comes to money most people drop their ethics faster than you type responses without thinking.

I'd give your idea a few years before these "friendly" and idealistic banks either get bought out by a bigger bank or went under. And you only need look to history for that. Or don't you learn from history?

Edit: Thinking on your idea, maybe we could use it to stop all crime in the world as well. You stop committing crimes, tell you family and friends to do the same, and they tell their friends and family...

It's not about economic efficiency anymore, you muppet.
When 9 times out of 10, that 'efficiency' is at the cost of some poor soul having his/her job shipped off to India.

WHO is benefiting from those fabulous fucking 'bigger returns', then? Not the newly unemployed, not their families and not their community or their country.

The majority of the people ARE waking up to this fact, just because you're one of the slower ones doesn't mean you should be so snappy. It's impolite and I WILL GET OFFENDED, YOU CUCK SUCKING CONT.

And do you really think that spreading empathy and love in families, instead of poverty and disenfranchisement, may help lower the crime rate? Then you are a fucking communist hippy scum who smokes crack.

Wow! I certainly touched a nerve.
Good idea to answer with unfounded insults and ill-conceived ideas. Makes you look like you really know what you're talking about.

Why do you think people put their money into a bank? Safety? Ease of access from anywhere in the country? A return on their investment? These are the benefits for the people investing, and the more efficient the bank is, the better these factors *could* be. Or are you going to argue against efficiency of any sort, as you only equate it to job losses? Now that's slow thinking.

I like your statement about the majority of people waking up to the facts you mention. It's just like any other "fact" people make up on the spot to prove a point. What are you, a spotty 16 year-old with no experience in the real world, spouting idealistic claptrap? I think you're the one that should look outside and wake up to reality.

You've been seeing red throughout this whole thread
Just a shame you've not seen sense
