"Why I will ignore this afternoon's three minute silence"
by Robert Fotherington-Smythe (or whoever)
Then underneath, I could just about make out:
"Because it's nothing but a goverment publicity stunt, is offensive to those who fought for us and demeans those who died in war."
Nothing but a government publicity stunt? That's all it is? Could your black little heart possibly pump a millilitre of your cold blood to your pea-sized brain so that you might possibly comprehend that it may be considered a mark of respect? To the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who were killed? And the 200 odd Brits, and the families of all those who were affected? Nothing but a publicity stunt?
God damn this paper gets my back up. And you know why? It's not because everything that happens anywhere around the world is sick and wrong and will rape your children, and it's not because its articles are written to cater for BNP-voting half-wits, no. It's because I'm pretty sure these articles are written to provoke just this kind of reaction ie. one of disgust and conflict. No one can possibly think that a respectful three minute silence is just 'a publicity stunt', no one is that stupid.
It's written to rile and offend, and it does just that, as well as stoking the fires of the pitchfork waving masses who'll gladly go out and slaughter the coloureds because their paper says they're eating all our donkeys.
The next person I see reading the Daily Mail and stroking their chin thoughtfully, I'm going to put a shotgun in their mouth, Christie Malry style, and force them to repent.
A publicity stunt. Real sensitive, a*****e.

Somewhere along the way, these idiots forgot these people died to defend values that are worth fighting for, which they evidently couldn't give a toss about. Well, actually, WW2. WW1 was a whole loada crap. But still.
Been keeping an eye on the Express/Mail recently.
Express is determined to shcok us with how many British people died in the tsunami, and how generous we all are 'THANK YOU BRITAIN!!!!11', pat-pat-pat back. But not as bad as the Mail, which has decided to defend that great minority of unheard and badly off people - the white middle classes. 'UNDER ATTACK!!' from crime, immigration, and taxes. 'WAAA!' they scream, burying any chance of any actual real grievances coming to light and being argued for and against under a mass of utter ignorance and blood boiling hatred.

That's the most revolting thing of all - it's all written to sell.
And yet it empowers people to do and act and believe terrible, terrible things.
Try not to let it bother you.

All the rest is good, but this is.........?
Mouthbreathing?
As opposed to.....nose breathing?
:D
Which one is cooking your burger?
But still, 'mouthbreathing'.
Heck, I just did it!
Minus the dribbling.
Possibly.
3 minutes doesn't acheive anymore than one minute, which shows our sorrow and respect just as well. most decent people reflect on this formore than 3 minutes so extra reflection time is not gained, a minutes silence is fine, there is no point in the additional minutes, they are a gimmick which does need to be put to rest when does it stop? shall we have 6 minutes silence if there is another one and it kills 300,000? shall we have 6 months silence for all the africans whove died of famine and AIDS. One minute serves the purpose perfectly and doesn't need to be scaled as everyone appreciates the scale of situations.
actions speak louder than words, personally i'd rather people donated and did practical things as well as observing a minute, than have a pointless extra 2 minutes which give no benefit to anyone.
oh and the daily mail guy is clearly a prat
As well as all the personal contemplation.
