"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Predictably, our lot ****ed it up. I tried, but it's hard to hold a silence when people are yelling "oi, why are you day dreaming when we've got work to do"... :blah:

1200GMT was, what? 7:00am EST? Sorry, then, I slept through it.

It was decided that our school would be incapable of holding a three-minute silence for, well, three minutes, so we condensed it down to one.

Not even that, actually, since I suspect it was more of a forty-seconds of silence. Tsk.

I'm not sure about this at all. Three minutes is too long - we only have two minutes for sixty million war dead... A silence, fine, but a minute. That's the standard length, and that's what I stuck to.

I don't think it's the length of time that matters really. It's the fact that you're supposed to be remembering the event and taking a minute out of your own selfish life to remember what others have been through (unless of course, you've been through it yourself).

(Note: no insult intended to anyone here, no particular distinction made against anyone either. Just the point in general).

I took the three minutes to reflect on the fact that the three female tsunami survivors ITV kept showing were hot.

I forgot.  I was on a bus travelling alone so i probably didn't do/say anything.
