So, Day of Silence 2008. I support the cause 100 percent. However, I don't think that keeping your mouth shut all day, instead of saying anything about what you think, is an effective method of getting a point across. |

Not gonna do it. I support the cause and all, gay bashing (literal and figurative) is a bad thing, but I don't see how people just being quiet will help. How can they get their point across without speaking? "Why are you being so quiet today, Waldo?" "..." "Waldo?" "..." "Waldo, answer me, you jerk!" "..." "RAAAAAAARGH! WALDO!!!" "..." |

That's what I'm saying. Organize a protest if you've got something to say. And if you organized an event where all eyes were on you, I think that being silent would be pretty effective. |

So am I not supposed to talk or something? Is that it? edit: Oops, it's April 25th and I talked quite a bit. But I did lecture an idiot on calling somebody a gay cigarette, do I get points? |

You guys are right. Good cause, I completely agree with it. But sitting in silence will accomplish nothing. And you can't expect a lot of people to do it. |

So is this just an American thing? Because the 25th of April is already ANZAC day in Australia and New Zealand. Which is a holiday remembering the Australians and New Zealanders who died in World War I, and is important enough to be a public holiday. Looking it up, I can't find any information on whether or not it's international. The people that made the website apparently just assumed that everyone reading it would be American. I hate that. Anyway, I heard about Lawrence King. Didn't he get shot for being gay and dressing like a girl sometimes? |

Hense that's why it's probably why the language of the website is American because it's aimed at an American audience. I don't think they were planning to go world-wide, but... hey... It's not actually a public Holiday, more of just a protest Holiday. We have a lot of those around here. Nobody actually gets any days off or anything... |

Wikipedia wrote: The E.O. Green School shooting refers to the shooting and murder of Lawrence "Larry" King (January 13, 1993[1] - February 12, 2008), a 15-year-old student at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard, California, United States, on February 12, 2008. Fellow student Brandon McInerney has been charged with murder and his lawyer, William "Willie" Quest, is seeking a relocation of the venue.[2] It was alleged that the suspect's motivation for the crime was that King was gay and had asked McInerney to be his valentine,[3] and as such, the shooting was deemed a hate crime by prosecutors.[4] HOLY CRAP I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS SO CLOSE TO MY TOWN |

I did it during the school day. I planned to keep it up all day, but when I was hanging out with my friends after school, I got really bored sitting there in silence. As far as it getting the message across, it would be way more effective if more people participated. If everyone does it, it makes a statement, but if one or two kids do it, they're just "those kids." |
