I usually head out the office when these things go on, can't really be arsed with the whole 'let's look serious while reading what is on my screen' nonsense. Personally I find the whole post Diana 'must look more respectful than the people next to me' slightly unnerving and I am sure most clients just arrange the whole thing to cover their arses from bad press.Comment

There is a big difference between being silent for two minutes and two minutes of silence.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Originally posted by malvolio View PostDon't get it, do you? It's not about being silent. If you don't want to keep the silence for your own expression of respect and a moment of reflection, you could at least respect other people's desire to do so. It's not like 2 minutes is going to spoil your whole day - but you may well have spoiled someone else's.
Too much of this country is damaged by people's blind insistence on their right to do as they damn well please and sod everyone else. The OP's atitude is just one more expression of it.Comment

Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostPrecisely - it's about respect. Either respect for those killed, or if not that, respect for those around you who wish to take part. If you can't have either, then you're a dicksplash.Comment
