Your analogy doesn't make any sense. I'm glad that everybody doesn't think like you do.

  I can explain it: It is not "giving up" to leave a physical location that is uninhabitable. When you can't freely transfer money or have private electronic conversations (telephone, SMS, email, whatever) as a median citizen not under suspicion of a crime, you must leave the place in which you are, just as you would have to leave your private home if it were completely flooded or exposed to the elements.

    I completely disagree with that and the recent events in the middle east tend to prove i'm right. People stood up for their right and gain more freedom. They didn't leave the country they stayed and did what they believe was the right thing to do for the country they love. And it seems to work. And by the way the people who already left the country and are actually living in europe did nothing because they now have a jobs, families, ... So they have way more to lose by fighting for the right of they original country than doing nothing.

  Sure it does. OWS was everyday people visibly and peacefully saying that they are unhappy with the way life is treating them. They were then treated as terrorists by the FBI. This sends the signal that unless you are willing to be treated as an enemy of the state, don't complain. Saying this is "uninhabitable" for normal, happy, productive people is not a widely held opinion, but it is rational.

    How do you compare OWS and a house crashed by a tree. It doesn't make sense at all. The fair comparaison with a house crashed by a tree would the hurricane Katrina.
