All I can say is wow.. always read before you sign.

I saw this on another forum today. With all the petitions popping up lately I figured I'd post it here.

No matter what someone tells you, always read the petition before you sign it. This is how things we love (reptiles) can get banned so easily.

Watch this video. Its pretty sad how many people will sign away just on the words of some random person.

people are stupid but thats funny cuz it is penn and teller but yea people will sign the stupidest petitions and not realize what they are

wow... some people need to get a clue...

It is unfortunate how people just sign things right away without really thinking for themselves. :(

I know, I have signed many petitions and I can honestly say I have never signed once without reading the things. There have been a few people who have basically sugar coated petitions for me, talking about it and making a lot of stuff up. Then I will sit there and read it and I have turned them away because it wasn't what they were making it out to be.

Another thing, I am not sure if its like this in other states. In Idaho you MUST be a registered voter or your signature doesn't count in the petition. I have never been asked if I was a registered voter by anyone collecting signatures. I think they really need to ask people, otherwise they'd just be wasting their time.

I like it "they not so much environmentalist as they are joiners"

Haha, that's great. I love Penn and Teller.

Here's another video I just love along the same lines:
End Women's Suffrage!

thats exactly what i thought of as soon as i read the title of this thread.

I love that show, and I love how certain people hate me for loving that show.

that is a pretty interesting vid!

:gj:

this reminded me of this one time I was at King's Dominion (an amusement park) and we were on our way out and there is this guy (kid) pushing this cart arund and it had lemonade and cotton candy on it and so Cait asked for some cotton candy and I said to the guy "how much for 1 cotton candy?" and he said "$3.50 each...orrrr...you can get any 2 items on this cart for $7.00." :) I was like "uh...no. I will take 1 thank you very much." I mean how dumb did he think I was? I can't add 3.50 + 3.50...like that was a special sale! lol.

point is there are always people out there that are gonna try and pull the sheeps behind over your eyes. :giggle:

some people fall for it...some don't.

in this case I probably would have signed! She was pretty convincing!

lol End Women Suffrage lmao!!!

That's why I like Lewiston. I have never in my life been asked to sign a stupid petition. Nobody bugs me :D.

However, petitions that are designed for a resident vote require that you are an eligible voter in EVERY state. Not a rule that's followed with any sort of enthusiasm, but that's how it's supposed to work.

Did that one in high school years ago. In a school of 3000 we managed to get 400 signatures before the teaching staff caught wind and shut'er down.

'The Man Show' did that whole "end women's suffrage" petition years ago...it was very funny.

I always read everything I sign my name to. Heck, I just cosigned on my Jeep loan, and I sat there and read every word in that promisory note. Ignorance is no excuse, whether it's a petition or something else yuo sign.. always know what you are supporting or getting into, please.

I agree 100%, I did the same thing too when we financed our first car. I read every word on every page. I think the loan guy was getting pissed too. But oh well, he wasn't the one signing 5 years and 20,000 dollars away.
