Signing online petitions is a waste of time and bandwidth. It's an example of "slacktivism," defined as an empty and pointless gesture intended to allow one to feel that he/she has in some way participated in effecting societal change without having to actually go to any expense or effort. Any time somebody asks you to sign an online petition, sit down for a moment and try to think of some other action you could take that would actually address the problem and would actually make some material difference.

40 20 Oct 2005 - 11:49    Pauratagashi22 : Umm. I am kinda neutral on the subject of Online Petitions. On one hand, nothing does get done about it. On the other hand, I sent my petition to Cartoon Network and they listened to me. Appartently not all petitions need to be banned. Yet I do agree that some should be banned. Like anti people ones. Poeple need to have their own opinion about stuff. Anyways if you don't like it, contact the owner of the petition and they can delet all bad posts.
