That just about sums it up.

like it or not 'moments of silence' are part of our society. they will happen around major events that shape our society and culture. it's the culture's way of recognizing a sacrifice or tragedy, it's on a higher level than the individual human beings that make up said culture.

I think its slightly offensive that you seem to have such disdain for burger flippers.

Have you eaten at a fast-food restaurant lately?

Because Leaf Garrett, as you'll see here in the above unmolested quotes, he didn't answer the question.

I even spelled it out as much in my previous comment but maybe you're in the same game as Unfan. The "Pretend no one addressed something game is tired and old. Read or leave.

I think this is very immature. If you can't take a little while to have a moment of a minute to be quiet to remember some deceased people you need to have something like this happen close to you.

When 911 happened the minute of silence was not just for the hundreds of people who lost their lives it was for the shock it had on the United States. When this happened to the US my school had to have a moment of silence and no one objected. It's not much to ask. They are not asking you to pray to God or anything, they are just asking for you to be quiet for a little while.

I've had times in my life where I have lost friends,family,and people I didnt even know. This moment of silence is a form of greiving and it really helps you to remember the lost for what they were good for.

Thank you,

So do it at home by yourself, yeah?

~~CrAbY~~ · 06-12-2009, 08:41 AM

Yeah if someone close to us have died or some big thing happened we have the respect to have a moment of silence. It is'nt much to ask.

Wayfarer · 06-12-2009, 08:53 AM

No, it isn't much to ask, but it's completely unnecessary to ask considering you can just have all the moments of silence you want in the privacy of your own home.

How old are you? You don't have enoughe respect to shut your mouth for 1 minute?

Wayfarer · 06-12-2009, 09:04 AM

I do, but I think it's rather stupid that it's expected of me. Do you not have the respect in you to leave people alone and deal with your own bloody problems on your own bloody time? See, the whole "respect" argument works both ways as well.
