You are so incredibly wrong and obviously have no clue. Only if you had taken 2.27 minutes to click a couple of links, you would have educated yourself and come to realize that they do work, and have achieved some spectacular victories.

Here are some of the accomplishments of the two largest online petition platforms:

https://www.change.org/impact

Here is another great one, with beautifully laid out articles:

If that's a rebuttal to anything I said, you are failing badly!

Yes, there might be some (many?) stupid petitions... just them. Is that so hard?

You're the same guy who refuses to pull forward at fast food restaurants because they'll never learn if we don't stand up for our rights, and you are the change you want to see in the world aren't you??

Huh?

I don't even know what "pull forward" means, let alone at a fast food restaurant as I don't eat at places which sell trash for food, except for 3-4 times a year.

P.S. I have never used a hashtag in my life.

Wait, I thought that was a URL you made up, but it exists!

Ok guess what, I have never gotten food from a drive-thru, and just learned what "pull forward" means in relation to that. You obviously have me mixed up with someone else.

I think it has been made abundantly clear ITT that you need to STFD and educate yourself.

Bizarrer?


Is that what we're doing now? I would thought 'more bizarre' was correct

^^ I had to act a little dumb based on the contents of the thread.

^ Do you know what qualia is? No? OMF you suck at English!!!11 Yeah, I didn't know the American vernacular surrounding drive-through restaurants; it must mean I am bad at English .

It's a common phrase related to automobiles in general, not drive through restaurants (some of which serve healthy foods by the way.) But I guess words like "pull" and "forward" are pretty obscure and really difficult to understand, even if English is supposedly your best language...

ssclark tutors kids in theoretical physics every Wednesday. But not last Wednesday, because he was saving a puppy from a house fire.

^ good for him!

In his post there was no indication that he was referring to driving or to drive-through places: "You're the same guy who refuses to pull forward at fast food restaurants because [...]." Pretty clear what it means there, huh?!

You got me there! I intended to type the singular, but mixed them up.
