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.

Both customs are complete bullshit. I certainly think manners are very debatable as far as how practical and applicable they are to modern society.

Exactly. None of it makes any bloody sense. Why do we have to stand for the national anthem? What's the ****ing magic in standing up and listening to it as opposed to sitting down? Why does it matter whether or not I have a hat on while it's playing? At what point does this all boil down to some shit some guy just made up? If people spent a little less time crying about "respect" and "manners" and a little more time questioning things and generally just growing the **** up maybe we wouldn't have to put up with nonsense like this on a daily basis.

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,

I still question things plenty of times but I wouldn't do it to someone when they are paying their respects.
