An estimated 90% of the user base was in bed asleep at the time.

Remembrance Sunday in UK. Mostly world wars 1 and 2, but applies to everything really.

I had 2 mins of silence. TBH, I think you should have to have 11 minutes and 11 seconds of silence.

No one acctually counts milliseconds unless it has something to do with technology.

I dont see the point of the minute of silence... what is it for? I mean, not making noise for 1 min wont help anyone nor anything.

Respect mostly. And it serves as a reminder to do your best to try and prevent horrible things like it from happening again.
Also, it's good for some people (including me) to just...shut up for a minuet. Cause I talk talk talk talk all day.

And it's good for people like me to have people like zoombie shut up for a minute :)

/me thinks that respect doesnt needs to be proved, so I dont make minutes of silence. I hardly make sounds anyway :)

Great respect needs to be earnt.
Basic respect should be universal unless proved unworthy, if only to be well mannered and polite so that you don't give the impression your an ass hole.
(which girl would you date? The hot blonde who slams a shop door in your face because she doesnt care leading to a hospital visit, or the hot blonde whose nice and shows an interest?)

Makes sense. Stuff like manners are one of the things I am yet to understand to reason of be :)
Like: I wouldnt wanna date any of em if the second one was showing interest for politeness and not because i has actual interest.

The first one doesn't respect you enough to bother yet, as you haven't earn't her respect yet. However the analogy assumes that you have already met both blondes, and had your face fixed in hospital too.

Remembering people who fought and died for the freedoms and ideologys we promote today isn't worth two minutes of your time? That's all the 2 minutes is. Two dedicated minutes to remember something that should never be forgotten.
