Today, we had a moment of silence for a kid that killed himself

[ncba93ivyase]

And tried to kill his girlfriend too. He shot his girlfriend then he shot himself in a closet.

Should we really be forced to honor someone like this?

[Daddy]

A few years ago some guy shot some one, then tried to shoot himself but missed.

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

Was it a well liked kid or some insignificant goth kid.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

No. People who commit suicide are fucking assholes.

[YPrrrr]

No one's forcing you to honor him, the moment of silence is more for the people who feel grief by the person's death than the person themself... I don't see why many people would miss him though, because he sounds retarded

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Was it a well liked kid or some insignificant goth kid.

Does it matter? Either way, he's a fucking asshole.

[Nyerp]

Why are the kids at your school always dying?

[ncba93ivyase]

Was it a well liked kid or some insignificant goth kid.

An Asian dude like what happened around the same time last year except some people liked him but most don't know him.

But really, he attempted to murder her and we have to feel sorry for him?

If I'm ever asked to stand up for a moment of silence for someone that committed suicide, I'd just sit down.

[YPrrrr]

If I'm ever asked to stand up for a moment of silence for someone that committed suicide, I'd just sit down.

They make you stand?

weird...

They've never asked us to stand for something like that, but if they did, I wouldn't.

[Feynman]

weird...

Yes. When we have our "moment of silence" every year on 9/11, we have to stand up and pretend to care.

[Wrench]

He ended his life and tried to take someone with him. Fuck that asshole.

[ncba93ivyase]

They make you stand?

weird...

Or get sent to the office.

I do like what I do during the pledge--stand up with my arms folded with an impatient look.

He ended his life and tried to take someone with him. Fuck that asshole.

If it was a kid that was brutally murdered, then I may have some sympathy.

For 9/11: I have to stand for quite a bit of time
After the pledge every day: We have to stand for about 10 seconds
When told that somebody died: We just stay seated and stop working for like 15-20 seconds

I don't think somebody that attempted to kill another deserves a moment of silence from their death, unless they had a justified reason for doing so.
