Probably just my upbringing though, I'm pretty easy going and don't get phased by a lot of things. Heck, I live in Calgary where during the winter months I adjust my schedule a lot of days by 30 to 45 minutes plus due to snow and cold throughout the winter.

You're completely missing the point that people shouldn't have to adjust anything due to these protests. Again and again you ignore the fact that for some reason these protesters think it's okay to disrupt the lives of thousands of people who are just trying to go about their regular business.
Why is that okay? Is their cause so noble that the rights of these people don't matter? Would you be humming the same tune if this was a group of 2000 tea party members?
I'm quite supportive of most of the aims of this movement, at least those originally voiced, but I'm fed up with the actions of a good portion of it. They aren't helping the cause, in fact they're hurting it. They're making it seem like this is about the right to squat in a park and moving the spotlight away from the numerous important issues.
