SHUT UP Options

[*mSz_dOrk_anGeL*]

Erhm, I posted this on Clique and yeah I wanted to put it here for more to see =/


Right okay, So whats everyone doing April 13th 2005. I hope nothing, this is the day you need to be quiet.

Why do you ask?

'The Day of Silence institutes a visible silence, a silence during which participants protest anti-LGBT* discrimination and abuse. Such an effort also allows us to reflect upon how powerful silencing can be, to focus on how we can make our own voices stronger and to begin to stop silencing ourselves.'

Now, some of you may have seen my topic on cB about the study done on abuse of Gays and Lesbains in school and can see that I do support Gay Rights. I'm just saying this is a great 'slient' protest and I would be happy if you took part.

I myself am going to show what I'm doing by wearing a shirt I will make that says

Front:
"SHUT UP"

Back:
"Protest anti-LGBT discrimination and abuse."
"Day of Silence 2004"

Thank you for reading and I hope you take part

there are consequences. while you may believe in it, sometimes the consequences can outweigh the accomplishments of doing something that really has no effect on anything. like thoraeu. he didnt pay his taxes because he didnt believe in the war, so he was put in jail for it, but he got out on bail because someone paid them for him. what did that accomplish in stopping the war? nothing. he accomplished nothing at all. yes, he felt he had done what was right, but not only did it have no impact, he ended up not even sticking to his own cause, because he let someone pay them, because he didnt feel he should have been sent to jail to being with, that he had the right to abstain from doing what he felt morallly opposed to.

So because you know something won't work out the way you want it to, you won't even TRY?

in theory, thats great, but if everyone were to do that, that would be chaos, and the world could not work like that. if everyone stopped talking, thats great for the cause, or it would be, if it actually did something, but then the school cannot fulfill its purpose

Once again, so because you have a feeling that something won't work out, you won't put your mind to at least trying it?

Look at the homosexual cause. They law is AGAINST them and yet they do the best they can to make the government understand. Why then, that those who SAY THEY support homosexuality can't even try to find loop holes to support them.

If a person really tried their best and not succeed, that's fine, but there are too many people who just SAY that they can't even try because they *think* it's not going to work anyways.

If our Founding Fathers have the same mindset as you, then there wouldn't even be an America. After all, who would ever think we can win against Great Britain, one of the most powerful country/empire at the time?

(wow i actually learned something in school today)

That's nice and that's why I like school.
