There is a term for the petition and the OPs post. that is slactivism. Its when someone forms commitees, protests, petitions and whatnot instead of actually getting their hands dirty.

For example, if you march to protest pollution, you are essentially saying "someone should do something about this, but not me. I did my part by protesting." There is a reason why actions count more than words, and people that are busy talking are not generally busy working.


Wow, this thread is so old. I started it about the same time last year.

Anyway, think what you like. There's nothing wrong with talking about something. Oh actually, there is...I don't know why I'm bothering to talk about this when I know that all I'm going to get is sarcastic responses & people who say they don't give a ****. Wow, humanity is really something... :roll:


Ah, sorry Brittany. I must have been bitter that day.
