This time I am very disappointed... seems that you two completely don't understand me... I'm getting treated like a newbie who posts something like "diz site sux" and not like a stalwart supporter, who I am. To straighten things out:
1. I've signed the petition when the counter showed ~400 signatures. My current ID# is around 800.
For those who can't infer anything from the words above: This means that I gave my support when there were not many people around and the sheer number of signatures meant nothing.
2. I've sent e-mails to my friends. And this wasn't just one e-mail as I know their ID#...
For those who can't infer anything from the words above: I kept bothering my buddies until they signed the petition. I do spread the word.
3. I've changed my signature on other forums to lead people to this site.
For those who can't infer anything from the words above: I do spread the word.
4. I've looked for websites with banner promoting this site and reported them to Jay.
For those who can't infer anything from the words above: I'm trying to help Jay regarding "reaching the target readers".
5. I'm doing all this sh*t, while I still do not own DVD player!
doing all this sh*t = supporting the petition
I haven't changed my mind regarding the words I posted. You are all young people, sometimes overzealous, sometimes slap-happy - getting into new things with joy and hope, still believing that you can change the world. I have more realistic approach to life (you may call me an ex-optimist) and I'm sorry to say this to you: the world will never be the way you want it to be... Wearing "NO to WAR" T-shirt won't stop advancing tanks and rarely will force politicians to change their attitudes... Sad but true.
So, why to wear such T-shirt? To soothe your conscience, that you have done the right thing, all what you could do. Is having realistic view of the situation a sin? I gave my "yes" to this petition and I'm not taking it back, as I believe this was a good thing to do. But this doesn't mean that I can't think: "Gee, I doubt that GL will change his mind solely on this petition's sake..."
So next time please reconsider your thoughts before you write "bugger off", OK?
