It's kinda sad, they're poorly titled, unresearched, have no actual citations to what laws they want to change, have no numbers to support them, and rely entirely on calls to emotion for their reasons why you should sign them. Come on, if you're going to write a petition, at least make it look it wasn't written by a middle school student.
Also, they are petitions which makes them completely useless except to allow people (who think their signature on a useless piece of paper will change anything) to express an interest to the government, but not actually compelling the government to do anything. Also as firelighters and the brief waste of the time it takes to sign them, making people think they are actually doing something worth while.
