2 minute silence

[wendilla]

My daughter has just rang to ask if there is an official 2 minute silence for the 9/11 or is it just up to the people in shops to hold this out of respect.

[mccfluff]

its up to you, we're not doing it this year

[4getmenot]

is it usually 11?

[mccfluff]

yes, it is possible for men not to scratch their balls for 11 minutes?

[zzxxee]

are you not thinking of remeberence sunday ?

[wendilla]

I asked question out of respect but of course the idiots can't give a civil answer as usual referring to BabyApe

[China Doll]

We're not doing anything here.

[zzxxee]

i think it would be very respectful to hold a 2 mins silence but it should be done on the 7th of july as well to remember all those who died in the bus bombs in london dont you agree ?

[sir.prize]

One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag, or bitch.

But it was a long time ago and it was just that one day.

Just joking gals!!!!!

[wendilla]

BabyApe I don't think you answer was at all light hearted .I t was an ignorant answer to a perfectly respectful question.

[wendilla]

yes zzxxee I agree.

I don't know if there is an official one but I don't think it matters, if you want to take 2 minutes to reflect, pray, think of others then you should. I do it for 9/11, rememberance day and also on the day that I saw someone killed because I want to.

I don't think BabyApe's answer was ignorant at all.

It was very much the opposite and showed an understanding of the wider issues
surrounding the crass hypocracy of holding respectful silence for those on "Our"
side whilst blindly ignoring the thousands of innocents who perished in our vengence.

The idea that someone is ignorant if they have a different view from you and upsets you
by expressing it is not ignorant either - but it is arrogant

[redcrx]

jake, i think that it was BabyApes first answer that was being referred to

[jake-the-peg]

Well that was facetious

The latter point though is a good one
