Thats dumb. Really dumb. You either respect them all the time or not at all.
It's more to symbolise your respect for the war dead, not about respecting them for just one minute.
The thing that pisses me off about minute silences is the unfairness with them. We have one minute to remember all the millions of war dead, yet when the Queen mother died we had TWO minutes of silence. Who the -blam!- believes that the life of an old, -blam!--supporting, right wing whore like her deserves more time than the millions who gave their life, both voluntarily and involuntarily, in combat?
who is the Queen Mother? and from what i hear, im thinking shes a queen...
but yea i agree, millions of dead soldiers deserve silent remeberance than some old bat that happened to be queen.
