magekillr Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 here in the United States there is somewhat of a declaration of a "National Maroon and Orange Day" well let's vamp that a little...how about an "INTERnational maroon and orange day"? it is taking place on Friday, April 20th... so show your support...and wear any Maroon and Orange...even a ribbon of some sort. And there has been some gruff & moaning about how we didn't wear Columbine's colors during their tragedy or how people don't wear red, white and blue as much anymore. If you don't want to participate, that's your decision, but remember that you choose where you attend college - a huge source of pride for those of us obtaining such degrees. We are joining together as a community to show our support for a school that could have been ANY of ours. The Hokies are calling for our help in their healing, they have requested we show our support this way - it is how they show their strength as a community. So, to show our strength as a community with them, we do our best to participate. Other schools have other ways to show their spirit and (heaven forbid) anything similar should happen at any other school, they would ask for support and healing in whatever way they found appropriate to them. Tech has asked us for this, other schools have not - so, we support Tech in their time of need by showing them that we stand behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktorkrum77 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Today is National Silence day too, cool. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magekillr Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Today is National Silence day too, cool. Hm, tbh and no offence but this is absolutely absurd. In fact, I remember a guy doing it last year who happened to be gay and I find it to be nothing but a cry for attention which is exactly what I see homosexuality as. I don't discriminate; Homosexuals are no different than anyone else other than their sexual preference but to have a day of silence in order to reflect on homosexual suffering is pretty absurd considering we don't have days of silence for jews, blacks, christians, etc; people who have suffered by ten fold what homosexuals have. and that takes place on today anyway..

Satenza Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Someone put a bullet through my head now please. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I will agree that there are always rotten eggs who ruin it for the reat and put a bad image on the rest. But if you think about it, most homosexuals are very relaxed, very kind, very normal people, sometimes even hard to tell if they're gay or not. The "preppy", "feminine" ones always ruin it, I will be honest and say I don't believe have them are truly gay, but probably attention seeking like you said. Just don't base your opinions off of that, it's bad enough as it is, the stereotyping that goes on. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satenza Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 The Holocaust remains a very taboo subject, i dont think anyone will be making one soon. Even saying the Holocaust was conspiracy in some countries is punishable by a jail sentance.

ixfd64 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 This can definitely be done on RuneScape, though. Example: Orange cape and red elegant on members (it's pretty close to maroon). Or you can just go to the MoM.
