What an awful site in every way! Idiotically campaigning to reduce the number of knives on the streets; trying to do it through having one million pledges so that it's impossible to ignore; offering as their only argument "In fact, many victims of knife attacks have their own knives turned against them".

And who is the genius who came up with the theme of graffiti tags with spray paint cans, encouraging petty crime to get their message across? And then decided to make the creation of a pledge difficult and time-consuming, through the process of trying to spray paint graffiti on a wall (which will minimize their number of pledges? And decided to make the spray paint cans difficult to use, with drips and so on? And decided to make the walls too small to write a pledge more than a few words long? And decided to make each pledge into a graphic which takes up a lot of memory to store or and a lot of bandwidth to display?

Moderated? Their aim is one million pledges, and they're moderating each pledge? Do they have any concept of the labor resources involved with moderating a million pledges? (Actually, far more than one million, since many won't survive moderation.) They must be aware from the beginning that they are doomed to dismal failure of far fewer than one million, or else they wouldn't attempt this silliness of dealing with the labor of moderating each pledge.

And they made the terms and conditions a pop-up which most browsers will block, and thus, most people will never see?

Emasculated, anti-liberty, muddle headed, insane... arrgh!

If anybody wants to see my "pledge", or wants to host it for everyone to see, let me know, and I'll email a jpeg of the screen shot to you.

I was in Britain earlier this year and I really had no problems in discussion until it came to guns and knives. They really couldn't grasp why you would want to carry any type of weapon mainly for two reasons. One, the stupid reason that someone could take it from you and use it against you and two, they were afraid that a gun could go off by accident and kill some one. I decided that they felt like they had no control over any thing that they did. Otherwise the people were marvelous an friendly in every way to me. Those 6 good looking chicks must have been following me because London was just eat up with some hot babes!!
