April 18, 200719 yr 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.
April 18, 200719 yr Author 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..
April 18, 200719 yr 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.

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.

It was not meant to be funny, it was meant to show how annoyed and fed up I am with stereotyping.

Well, then someone should make one. Don't we have a National Holocaust Day? And other such events? Me doing staff.
April 18, 200719 yr Author not that i know of :-k but this is neither here or there...i really don't want to get into an argument over this as it's not the issue...and as that day is today and not friday
April 18, 200719 yr not that i know of :-k That I agree is absurd if we don't have a National Holocaust remembrance day, the museum needs to get on it. Me doing staff.
April 18, 200719 yr 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.

April 18, 200719 yr 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. ARENAscape: Baratus [AS] max hit: 166 with Moon Battle Hammer ixfd64 [AS] max hit: 116 with (untitled spell #2)
