rest in peace

i dont support them at all. I dont see why i should praise silence for a load of men killing each other.

Personaly i dont belive in the 1 minute of silence crap, it doesnt help anyone, and in fact actualy causes more problems insted, although quite minor. The only part of any worth is the donations / buying poppies, as the money from them, is what is actualy used to do any good.

The silence isn't meant to "help" anyone, it's a mark of respect to Those Who Gave Their All.

R.I.P.

I was silent at 11am anyway. ^_^

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah same I was asleep. Tomorrow I'll be up by then though so I'll be doing the minute (or two, whatever they say) with the rest of the country.

The problem with that is there dead... whether you spend a minute silent or not, its not going to make any difference to them is it

[FlyingJesus]

That's not the point, the point is to reflect on how they gave their lives so that we could have our freedom upheld. I know from previous debates and such that you're very much into the idea of freedom, so you should be quite thankful to them really.

What does reflecting on what they did have to do with anything? what is acheaved by it?
I support freedom yes, but i am an aithiest as well, i have no belife in any gods, soles or any form of spirituality. Once someone is dead, they are dead. Respecting them once there dead is pointless, if you want to give someone respect, do it when they are actually still alive.
Respecting a corpes is not being thankful, there dead and can gain nothing from it, helping those still alive, or the families, wifes/hupands/children though of those who has died, does benifit people, wasteing a minute does not.
