I was bored so had a look through some of the Government E-Petitions that had 2 or less votes. How about this one...

More detail...We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to investigate whether forum and chat room use by people whilst at work has helped to damage the economy.
So stop posting and get back to work you slackers! You're ruining the economy.I used to be a bit of a forum 'junkie' and waste many hours of my own time (I am a home maker) on a number of Internet forums. I was surprised to discover how many other posters, from the UK and the rest of the world, were on forums when they were at work. When I challenged them about the theft of time from their employer, the usual excuses were that they were bored, or they would make up the time later! Some of these posters seem to spend most of their working day on forums if their post count was anything to go by! I wonder if forum and chat room use may have contributed to the financial crisis the world is in?

ha ha ha ... now there's the epetition of a madman.
I've been self-funding, working from home for the last year. So my time is my own ... but, yes, some people do seem to have Internet access at work without being sacked... there's always SOMETHING everybody can do at work, rather than surfing the Internet, that would help make the company more successful/profitable. Or am I the only person who works hard when at work?0 -
