To the naysayers: 'If this is wrong, then explain the OCCUPY movement?'

The first part about religion comes down to one's own personal beliefs, although it is interesting and somewhat factual, in terms of the profiles of various religious deities and astromony....

9/11 conspiracies may be far reaching, but not out of the realm of possiblity....I don't think 9/11 was an "inside job"....but it was an opportunity....

the third part about out economic structure, tend to speak volumes....espeically when the "OCCUPY WALL ST." movement has moved across the planet!!!

do they get all their facts from this particular doc?....doubtful, it probably helps to put perspective on it, as to why the government has forsaken us for the big banks...

but to those who have never even heard of this movie, and are out there protesting for their own version of events that are similar to this movie.

why still all the hate on this movie then?

"With the right amount of self-confidence and bull$#!%, you can accomplish anything."

You are aware that the reasons that this movie gets it support from people who think there is something wrong with religion, 9/11 or the monetary system? Of course these people have their reasons to their own opinion, but sharing an opinion does not make something true.

Yes, there are problems in the monetary system. The thing is that that's the reason people are interested in politics, labour issues etc. We all have our views about how to make the world a better place and the Occupy movement is a reflection of that. That doesn't make Zeitgeist any more true than it was before.

The funniest thing is that people are not even aware that they themselves are the ones to blame. They themselves invest in banks and the banks invest in other things. The unemployed person is unemployed because he debosited money to the bank that tried to make HIM more money by investing to a firm. The firm tried to make more money so that the investors are happy (the banks AND the people who give them money) and so that person lost his job. The billonares are not the ones to blame because even with all their money, they don't really have that much compared to the other folks combined and therefore have no effect whatsoever. It's only envy to say otherwise.

Politicians come in because they want money to circulate in the direction of the voters. For a reason or another they fail and that's where the Occypy movements and other similar movements come in. They couldn't correct the wrongs that their voters themselves caused. And the reason why politicians are giving the banks more money, is only to make the investors (=the people/voters) happy. This all has nothing to do with money being wrong. It has everything to do with bad investments. And people aren't ready to pay for making such.

So because a few hundred people (out of a few hundred million) protest something then in your mind that makes it an absolute truth? You are literally too stupid for me to insult, stop embarrassing yourself and your family.
