Time To Grow Up!

Yes they were losers of the first degree. Makes me wonder what kind of oafs they are in other areas of their pathetic lives. The good news is, it was perhaps only a half dozen out of 15,004 fans. That's a pretty low percentage of losers and a pretty high percentage of relatively decent folks.

Let me start off by saying yes those guys are jackasses and no I don't condone what they did, but this is hardly a Winnipeg thing. During any moment of silence at a sporting event, some drunk is going to yell. If we're going to start a new thread every time it happens, we may need a new subsection on here.

montreal had a moment of silence yesterday for Gary Carter and there wasn't a peep in the building.

they should round up these people looking for attention and have them paraded out on to the ice during a tv timeout and the p.a. dude can say 'ladies and gentlemen, here are the people that were yelling during the moment of silence'.
there is no excuse for that kind of behaviour in my opinion. i wonder what the elderly military man they always show singing to O Canada thought.

It was the same thing for Remembrance Day during the Moment of Silence a few jerks were yelling out, some people just have no respect but we all have to remember its just a few people not all of us

Obviously these are people who have never experienced the loss of a loved one or know someone who has. However, where is the common sense??

Common Sense, aka C.S., lived a long life, but died from heart failure at the brink of the millennium. No one really knows how old he was, his birth records were long ago entangled in miles and miles of bureaucratic red tape.
Known affectionately to close friends as Horse Sense and Sound Thinking, he selflessly devoted himself to a life of service in homes, schools, hospitals and offices, helping folks get jobs done without a lot of fanfare, whooping and hollering. Rules and regulations and petty, frivolous lawsuits held no power over C.S.

A most reliable sage, he was credited with cultivating the ability to know when to come in out of the rain, the discovery that the early bird gets the worm and how to take the bitter with the sweet. C.S. also developed sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adult is in charge, not the kid) and prudent dietary plans (offset eggs and bacon with a little fiber and orange juice).

A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, the Technological Revolution and the Smoking Crusades, C.S. survived sundry cultural and educational trends including disco, the men's movement, body piercing, whole language and new math.

C.S.'s health began declining in the late 1960s when he became infected with the If-It-Feels-Good, Do-It virus. In the following decades his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of overbearing federal and state rules and regulations and an oppressive tax code. C.S. was sapped of strength and the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, criminals received better treatment than victims and judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional baseball and golf. His deterioration accelerated as schools implemented zero-tolerance policies. Reports of 6-year-old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing classmates, a teen suspended for taking a swig of Scope mouthwash after lunch, girls suspended for possessing Midol and an honor student expelled for having a table knife in her school lunch were more than his heart could endure.

As the end neared, doctors say C.S. drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments regarding regulations on low-flow toilets and mandatory air bags. Finally, upon hearing about a government plan to ban inhalers from 14 million asthmatics due to a trace of a pollutant that may be harmful to the environment, C.S. breathed his last. Services will be at Whispering Pines Cemetery. C.S. was preceded in death by his wife, Discretion; one daughter, Responsibility; and one son, Reason. He is survived by two step-brothers, Half-Wit and Dim-Wit.

Farewell, Common Sense. May you rest in peace.
