Hilarious yet scary if you think about it.

You can’t make this stuff up. But, you can pretend to be a “liberal chick” and walk around a college campus asking students to sign a petition banning pressure cookers.

ClashDaily.com’s pretend lefty coed, “Liberal Chick,” got dozens of students to sign the petition. Watch the short video; it’s hilarious – and scary, too.

Not surprising since Infowars reporters went around asking people if they would sign a petition to ban H2O and they did.
And again on another occasion they asked people to sign a petition to petition the Govt to ban guns and bring in camps modelled on the Nazi camps and Russian gulags....i kid you not, that's what they told people the petition was and they signed it!

People will sign just about anything to get away from petitioners bothering them.

I know I would. I once signed over half of my fortune to a dweeb in a suit who presented it as a subscription to some magazine. Luckily I am a fast reader and some things on the page caught my eye. Since then, never signed anything I did not personally read top to bottom and back for safety.

LOL, that makes no sense whatsoever...maybe in your country people will sign anything just to get away from the petitioner, but in the UK we just politely say "sorry, don't have the time", you will also get those that just carry on walking as if you weren't even there. i'm sure that's the case the world over.

I usually don't sign them. I sometimes sign online petitions I can read but otherwise I don't sign petitions in the streets.

90% of people do not talk to the petitioner. 90% of those that do, regret it instantly and will try to make a 'clean escape' (either through quick agreement or by excusing yourself and walking away), and the final 1% consists of people who are trolling the petitioner (make them tell their story, then walk away having wasted their time), or are actually interested in what they have to say.

Besides, signing stuff is considered no big deal to most people who do not have the balls to ignore the petitioner. :P

i ignore them, they are **Filtered** everywhere!!!!!

and while this lady wasn't serious about what she wanted people to sign, people do petition for the most retarded ass **Filtered**, lmao. (benefits of walking around with headphones all the time, less talk to you, and its easier to ignore the ones that try, when on campus i always have headphones in even if they aren't playing, especially during lunch hour (since thats when they are out in full force))

The usual reductio ad absurdum.

Works the other way just aswell.


High powered explosives don't kill people, people kill people. Deregulate C4!

That if you want to secure your cherished family heirlooms by booby-trapping them with a claymore mine in the cellar that's no honest man's business but your own? :razz:
