Did you have 2 minutes of silence yesterday for Remembrance Day?

[Darth Duelist]

Yeah, yesterday was Remembrance Day, as you may remember. Remembrance Day is celebrated by Commonwealth Countries, so if you don't live in a commonwealth country, you may not understand what I'm talking about. For example, Remembrance Day is celebrated in Canada, and on Remembrance Day [Nov.11], Canada has a national holiday. No school, no work, bank closed, etc etc. People have 2 minutes of silence @ 11:00AM to respect the soldiers that died fighting for our freedom. So did you keep 2 minutes of silence for the dead soldiers? Discuss Remembrance Day, WWI+II, etc etc.

I was asleep at 11AM.

So yeah, I'm pretty sure I was silent.

[Alexis Rhodes]

Yep, I'm english.

America. No. We worked on a Statics lab because we don't have time to spare.

"My country doesn't celebrate Remembrance Day"

Our school forgot... until last period.

By then, people were asleep/getting stoned/leaving etc.

... Veterans Day.
Same Holiday, Different Name. No I didn't, however I did show my appreciation for my Grandfather who was in Vietnam.

I'm quite surprised.
In the poll, 4 people in total did not have 2 minutes of silence. As of right now, that's 50% of the people. I did NOT expect this. Hmmm...

[Tentacruel]

Forgot.

Meh, it's ok, I forgot too. I'm just glad no one said chose the option "Why should I?". It would've been plain sad if someone picked that..

[Ghoulish]

We only did it for 1 minute? And the teacher that was organizaing it was talking on the phone during it the gimp.

OH WOW!!! Really? The teacher sure is really dumb and disrespectful. Wow, he/she sure is setting a good example! We should all follow her! Jeez, it's just 2 minutes of your damn life!

[CrystalCyae]

Well, I guess.
We only do 1 minutes silence, though one time these group of kids went to the rememberance shrine, which was pretty cool.
'Cuz of daylight savings and stuff, we missed the light-passing-over-the-tablet thing that used to happen at 11 o'clock, but they had a light on the roof, and they made it do what the sunlight usually did.
That was even cooler.
I'm just glad nobody in my family has been to war.

I put the other option in the poll because I agreed with the 'Why should I?', but it looked too moronic to pick.
