TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

QuoteOnline petitions are useless, and pretty much a waste of time. Decision-makers are more concerned about the opinions of their political constituencies, whether they be voters in a specific district or special interest groups, than unverified names from the Internet. Signing online petitions makes people feel like they are doing something to help the world, when in fact they are actually doing nothing.

Even the few seconds spend signing an online petition could better be spent doing something else for change.

Could I just tighten up the wording on that a bit?  I feel I have value to add, here.

DO IT

I will forward it to Zach and maybe he'll put in an edit.

QuoteThis petition is aimed at the members of Facebook in general, and concerns online petitions.  We, the undersigned, are truly sick and tired of getting these fucking things, and the complacent "I'm making a difference" BULLSHIT you people feed yourselves.  Doctors Without Borders make a difference.  Amnesty International makes a difference.  These Occupy Wall Street people might make a difference.  YOU, on the other hand, just get older and fatter while you spew out these meaningless and trite petitions that NOBODY WILL PAY ANY ATTENTION TO.  

I can hear you now..."I'm just happy to get the word out".  Well, that subject that's so near & dear to your hearts?  EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS.  If you don't actually get off your ass and go do something, then you're PART OF THE PROBLEM.  "Liking" a cause IS NOT THE SAME AS SUPPORTING IT.  If you "like" the OWS movement, but never go take part in it, you are NOT ACTUALLY HELPING.

So stop your fucking attention-whoring...Let's face it, that's ALL it is...And either shut the fuck up, or put down the economy-sized Doritos and GO DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL WITH WHAT'S LEFT OF YOUR STINKING, USELESS LIFE.

Dunno.  Maybe I could be a little more clear about it.
