The Day of silence 2009

[Peace and Rainbows]

Hey guys just wondering if any of you are going to be doing the day of silence. It is april 17th. It's basically where you don't talk all day. I'm doing it to honor my gay friends, myself , david Bowie and Billie Joe ARmstrong(BI Power!).

[The Disappearing Boy]

no

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Never heard of it.

But not speaking all day to honor something is a bit strange.

And I won't be able to not talk anyway.

[Haz]

it's a nice idea but I wont be taking part

[Dai.]

What's the point? Are you saying if I don't talk for a whole day, gay people will have more rights?

[Eirik]

Yeah, erm, noo. How does silence have anything to do with gays anyway?

[Nele]

I'm downtown the 17th and I'm very sure I'll talk the whole day.

And like Peter said I don't get the connection with gays and silent.

To be honest I prefer Christopher Street Day anyway.

[The Disappearing Boy]

yeah, what is the point?

[Agija]

I won't be able to not talk.

I have to talk a lot at school, plus I'll have the debating competition then where all you have to do is talk, talk and talk.

[Farah]

haha no.

[Ally]

I can't stay quite that long, my mouth refuses to stay shit for longer than an hour

[Becky.]

I'll do it.

I don't care what it's for, I want a challenge. It'll be fun. An achievement. I need some of those.

[iLozza!]

If I didn't talk for more than 10 minutes, my parents would think I had problems.

I'll give it a try, just for the hell of it.

[Rita]

Lol no. It's a Friday, I have classes.

[mitzymoo]

i think its great that your doing it

just because it doesnt make sense to some people doesnt mean that it wont have an impact

[Haydée]

I don't see the point so, no. (:

[Dai.]

What impact will it have?

[rinu]

i'd say no i guess

never heard of this btw

[Katarina.]

Nope, never heard of it before, and won't do it.

I don't see the point of doing a day of silence anyway. It's not like you're helping gay people or something.

[pooldude256]

Lame. Stuff like this makes no difference at all. Put your time into something more productive kids.

[Countrygirl]

I'll do it.

I guess no GDC for you that day.

and boooooooooo........noooooooooooooooooo

[14razorbacks]

I'd do that.

It's to show that you care enough about Gay Rights to commit yourself to a day of silence in honor of it. Not to physically help the cause, just to show you support it.

[mitzymoo]

What impact will it have?

i dont know

im just saying that i think its a great idea that it may have some impact and if it does then it was worth it

any cause is a good cause after all

[Dai.]

It can't be a great idea if it doesn't serve a good purpose. If it doesn't change anything, how can it be worth it?

I'm not disagreeing with the fact that gay people should have the same rights as everyone else, but how does not talking for 1 day help that? It doesn't make any sense, it doesn't change anything.

You said it might have an impact. An impact on whom? What kind of impact?

[badwolf]

I'll try to do it. For Billie Joe.
