You are right and wrong at the same time.
Reason is, I do not just jump to one side and or hold values to everyone.
I have my eyes opened to new things every day.
Example
Most people believe that I am 100% against social programs, I am NOT.
I am against the people that Abuse them, not the ones that Need them to get back on their feet.
Reason why is I know several people that "work" the system, and have for Years.
A poster here bft3e or whatever his name is, once said something along the line of, how do you not know that person did not work 30 years paying into the system and is now down on their luck.
There are MANY subjects I guess you can say I pick the easy way out, but for me it is the Most Logical.
Say Abortion -- Not going to put a "detailed" plan, but
I am for abortion if done in the First Trimester (pro choice), but I am against Late term abortions. I am against Tax money being spent on them. 2 reasons, one this planned parent hood is super crooked and WAY overcharges the clients AND the government. second, people need to be responsable for their actions. Many of the people I know have big screen TV's, Diamond Studs, Subs in the car, Party, PS3, and so on. They can pay for all this, but not a $500 Medical procedure.
Is it hard to tell who can and can not pay, yes of course, again since I am not getting paid for all the answers, not going to do it. Will you make everyone happy in the time of entitlement, NO.
I myself am down with the economy, but I saved over the years, and I go out about once every 2 months now instead of every weekend. There are MANY more things I cut back on to make sure my family has the NEEDS. I do not expect anyone to help me, but it is nice knowing the social programs are there to pick me back up if needed.
Hope this helps, I am also sure you know as well as I do, one can not every get a full point across on a message board.
As I get older I find myself not putting up with as much BS, going along with the system, because it is easier, I can and have been VERY Happy with life by doing it that way. I also know you can not please everyone so solutions that are for the majority are the only way things will work. No reason to take a hard stance right or left or yes or no.
Do I think most OWS people are idiots, YES. Not for some of the messages and wants they have, but what they look like and how they are doing it. This might be wrong, but it is a fact of life .... If I dress nice and walk onto a car lot, I get help right away. If I wear grungy sweats, and just a cheap t-shirt with a few holes in it, not shaved in a day or 2, it might take 30 minutes to get a salesman if at all. Did I do this YES, and when I pulled cash out of my pocket for a car, they STILL looked at me like I robbed a bank or something.
Profiling is a fact, it will never go away. Now look at the OWS people, man most people are just going to LOL at them.
