no its as in why?. cos it was atragedy and hundreds lost lives and more will be mentally and ohysically scarred so to show 'respect' lets put a* in msn username im sure that comforts russian families, they know we arte thinking of them

You don't get it, do you?

It doesn't matter if Russian families will see it, it's just a mark of respect for the people who died as we cushily sit at the computer.

And if people actually did it, then you might find that others may follow suit, creating a ripple effect.

Even if it didn't, you don't have to be all grandiose about it and lower flags everywhere, so why not do this instead? It's just a quiet and simple way of showing your respect, while you're doing whatever/talking to people on the internet.

It's like wearing a poppy, just on a computer. And not for the war.

oh right.

Tut, it's not a cunning ploy to stop terrorists.

Do people wear poppies to bring dead soldiers back to life?

Ross I must say you are becoming more intelligent and wiser by the second.

Also, Staddon or you should have told me the other day... I was wondering why he had a star next to his name.... oh well, I shall do so immediately.

Ps... Don't laugh cos it's not funny, but I haven't been watching tv or reading newspapers or anything recently, so can u explain what actually happened in Russia?

Captain Centipede · Moderator

Thank you!

See, people? SEE? (Oops, doing a Jamie there. Click)

Anyway, a load of terrorists, (possibly Chechen rebels, I don't know,) took the people of a school hostage. They ended up killing about 100 of them and piling their bodies in the gym - which a reporter found, I believe...
