If you could name a national day, week, month of observation what would it be?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) October 14th, 2010

If I could I would have National Logic week people could not handle logic for a month, during that week one is to observe logic over emotion and reacting illogical just because they have a personal peeve or leaning. I think that would go a long way. If you had the chance to pick a cause what would your’s be and how long would you want people to observe it? Do you believe anyone would try it even for a day? As a second I would have National No Bra Natural Breast Month in maybe July or August.

I’m going to vote for National Take a Schizophrenic or Homeless Person to Lunch Day. My brother is schizophrenic and homeless and I would like everyone to just to take a moment to notice him and people like him, to ask them where they came from and who they are. My brother looks just like every other crazy homeless person on the street but he got perfect scores on both the math and verbal portions of his SATs and he has a Masters Degree in Psychology and I love him, and he is or was, unbelievably charming and funny as hell and I would just like people to know, at the very least, that much about him, should they ever encounter him on the street.

I saw National Honor the Housewife Day. We get the day off and half specials everywhere for lunch.

National Breast week, as part of National Boob month – part of International Thanks for the Mammaries Decade.

Everyone gets drunk and goes naked after 10 p.m.

I’ll be a volunteer judge.

T-shirts available. PM me.

How about “Appreciate President Obama Day” ???

C’mon, just one day—we can give him that, can’t we?

I would have National Appreciate Your Sheets Day. You get to languish in bed (in say,freshly laundered 800 count cotton sheets) with a nice warm blanket (preferably after you have just shaved your legs—ladies you know what I mean). And then someone would bring you a hot cup of coffee!

I want a National Working Stiffs day. This day has the following characteristics:

Everyone who works for a government agency or a bank must report for work as usual. Kids have to go to school on that day, too.

Everybody else gets the day off.

I designate the last Monday in April for this.

National Beagle Day. Everyone who owns a beagle brings it out on a super fun outing like a hike, a trip to the farmer’s market, the park, the lake, etc. People who do not own a beagle volunteer to dedicate the day to a beagle (or two) in a shelter or rescue. Maximising beagle joy.

National “You’re Not Right” Day.

Different religious, scientific, morally-based, political, etc. organizations sponsor sessions where they present, as objectively as possible, the most controversial or fundamental concepts in their beliefs, and the reasons why, and the evidence for. People are encouraged to attend the sessions held by those they most disagree with, but may not disagree with anything stated. The end of the sessions are used to discuss everything that the people find mutually agreeable, or for surveys covering what the participants agreed with, why, and the reason why they attended that particular session.

@iamthemob Ha! I love that idea! Sign me up. And there should be blood-pressure testing stations outside of each presenter’s room.

or one of those nurse stations outside horror movie theaters in the 50s making people sign waivers of liability for any emotional and or physical harm coming from the trauma. ;-)

@IchtheosaurusRex Wasn’t that what Labnor Day was suppose to be, a day for the working stiff?

I’m also going to put in a vote for a National I’m in a Really, Really Bad Mood Today So Could You All Please Just Leave Me Alone? Day. You don’t get to act out or take your bad mood out on anyone else, but people, family, friends, co-workers, strangers on the street, would be prohibited from say things like “Smile, it can’t be all that bad,” trying to cheer you up or telling you some equivalent of “you should count your blessings and be grateful because other people have it a lot worse.” You just get to be in a bad mood, to even self-indulgently wallow in it to your heart’s content if that’s what feel like doing, and everyone has to leave you alone and stay out of your way.

@Hypocrisy_Central, yeah, that was the idea behind Labor Day. But nobody has to work on Labor Day. I want a day just for all the working slobs in the private sector, who have to work when the banks, schools, and post offices are closed for bullshit holidays like President’s Day. I mean, come on! They get, like 5 or 6 paid holidays a year when the rest of us are expected to drag our tired asses into work? Why can’t we have just one day when the tables are turned on them?
