One minute Silence ?

[Pervert]

At 11 am today, schools across Europe are supposed to observe a minute's silence for the people, and particularly the children, killed during the Beslan siege. I have no problems with finding 60 seconds in my busy schedule to silently mark my grief and horror at such an event, and to show some respect. I

When such things are mandatory, then it becomes a problem.

A woman I know lost her young adult daughter to cancer at the time of the wailing and beating of breasts and gnashing of teeth and shedding of public tears over the death of the Pinhead of Wales. For her, it was a nightmare: not only had she lost her daughter, but the huge over-reaction to Diana's death mad eher feel that her daughter's life had been insignificant or worthless. Presumably friends and family of Mother Theresa felt the same, since she died the same week as Princess Tabloid, and was hardly acknowledged at all.

Well said caractacus, easy to forget that Mother Theresa died the same week as Diana.

1 Minutes silence for the pointless waste of human life WORLDWIDE

Nobody holds the high moral ground as far as I'm concerned

They're all as bad as each other SADLY
