Day of Silence

I'm doing it today. I don't figure many of you will - most of you arent exactly 'youth' - but does anyone here know people doing it, or has done it before, or just have any thoughts on it at all?

I had never heard of this before. It sounds like a good idea because there is a lot of bullying in american schools, at least the one I was attending, and not just against homosexual students.

a good cause

Sheldonrs · 04-17-2007, 06:09 PM

A friend of mine back in Boston usually does this each year.

piercehawkeye45 · 04-17-2007, 06:28 PM

If someone makes fun of homosexuals, etc in front of me, I just usually make fun of them back.

I'll admit from someone on an outside source, I was annoyed when some kids in my school did it last year but I'm not going to tell them not to since it is a protest, which I am in favor for.l

Yeah my high school did it all four years I was there. Actually it is on the rise I think. For a good cause.

What was that, Ibram? I didn't hear you ...

SadistSecret · 04-18-2007, 02:34 AM

I do my day of silence each year. I fully support the GLBT Community, and think the bible thumpers should go back to pris-, err, church.

Ibby · 04-18-2007, 05:56 AM

SS, I love you.

Jammin' good with Weird and Gilly!

SadistSecret · 04-18-2007, 06:09 AM

Everyone seems to love me around here. I like it.

I just hope everyone remembers that I have a penis. I've already been mistaken for a lady in the VT Shooting thread. =(

Clodfobble · 04-18-2007, 07:31 AM

Maybe it's your girly signature.

I'm just teasing, but on a more serious note, you'd make a lot of folks like you more if you at least made it left-aligned instead of center.

SadistSecret · 04-18-2007, 07:34 AM

It takes a real man to like purple.

Spexxvet · 04-18-2007, 08:26 AM

My daughter is doing it - she's a member of GSA.

Shawnee123 · 04-18-2007, 08:31 AM

Very cool thing to do. I like it.

As someone who is 'not exactly youth'

I will support you in my head. For some reason I don't think I could get away with a day of not communicating here at work.

SadistSecret · 04-18-2007, 08:33 AM

Sure you could. Carry around a little notepad, and a pen. That's what I did.
