Help! How Do I Talk To My Son About Occupy Wall Street?

10-20-30GO! that would mean that Jesus and his disciplines should not have been fed then because they didn't do any work. I don't look at this as a "Look at scriptures" sort of thing. Nor do I anything else. Be good to one another, treat each other with respect, don't steal, rob or kill and help those who need it. That includes standing up for our children who are being exposed to harmful chemicals because our country is no longer run by a Federal Republic Government but instead a Capitalist Government, and that is unconstitutional.

For those of you that try to apply biblical wisdom..."We urged you when we were with you not to let anyone eat who refused to work. Now we hear that there are some of you who are living lives without any discipline, doing no work themselves but interfering with other people's." 2Thess 3:10 I am all for helping the homeless and those who can't help themselves, but these people don't fit that description..

They need to go to work and not expect things to be free. This entitlement mentality has gone too far..... really sad

Im so surprised that many parents dont "know" how to talk to their kids about protests, death, marriage equality, war etc. I can talk to my 4 and 7 yr old about anything in terms they understand for their age. Teach them about what you believe in and how you want them to see the world. You cant go wrong.

I talk to them about Solidarity and what Poland went through in the same type of movement, about the French Revolution and the same type of movement, about the Bolshevik seizure of power, about the AMERICAN REVOLUTION and the same exact type of movement.
I talk to them about what our founding fathers believed in and that they would have supported this movement.
I talk to them about the changes our country has faced since the 70's and that with power comes greed and that you should never trust a big company to have your best interest or your safety in their minds while they make, sell and market their products. That we should be thankful for what we have but to realize that with a lack of thought behind our purchases, we could just as easily be voiting with our dollars to support child labor, etc. as we can choose to support fair wages and work conditions.
That our world is all interconnected and being shallow and unthinking in our decisions can make other countries hate us the way they do because they make the products we buy and yet we could care less that it might be an uneducated abused 8 year old making our jeans look distressed.
In short, that we should give a s***. Especially with my raising them Catholic (and therefor Christian), it's a part of the Bible's teaching not to turn a blind eye to the injustices and wrongs of the world.
That the Roman Catholic church's official stance regarding Capitalism is that it is a sin. But that that doesn't mean they support Communism either.
They might not understand yet but I know they will one day. My parents always talked to me about things like this and I grew up caring about the world around me. I hope my kids do the same.
I support the Occupy movement, my entire family does and I'm teaching my kids that this is the beginning of something big in our world and to pay attention and pray that good comes from it and to care.

^enough said^

That they need to Occupy a job, so that a paycheck can Occupy their bank account, so that they can Occupy a house. And this all starts with their butt Occupying a desk at school.
