(I know the last guy who did this got shot down badly, but still - I'd like to see how this goes over.)

This Sunday at 12:26 PM and 4 seconds, I will be observing a minute's silence in memory of the victims of the 2004 Asian tsunami. If anyone has an opinion on this/would also like to participate in this/thinks this is a bad idea, you're free to post.
 
Why don't we just have a 'moment of silence' thread for everything in general and people can post there for whatever moment of silence they want?
 
why would you post for a moment of silence? o.o I can understand posting for discussion of a particular memorial, but having threads so people can say they're having a minute of silence seems pointless to me. :|

The main difference between this thread and the other memorial thread is because this one isn't at all political in nature. :| Nobody suddenly started hating waves after this, but people did start hating muslims after 9/11. The Boxing Day Tsunami was a huge deal over here in Australia (but sometimes, I feel like this is mostly because Australians like giving themselves a huge pat on the back when we help anyone) and I can't see why anyone would really be against this. I think moments of silence in general are silly, though, and I'd much rather remember things in my own way.

Was there a huge impact in Malaysia, rock-ground? I remember Thailand being pretty devastated by it and there was a huge donation drive over here.
