    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I agree with it. I was at my little sisters graduation a couple years back and people were doing this same shit and you could not here half the students names because it was so out of hand. Some people have no fucking respect for others and no sense of courtesy. its about time some one did something.
    Peace through superior firepower!

    I never understood this. What's the big rush?....is it against the law to wait a few seconds in between calling out the names? Honestly, how long do people actually applaud for anyways...seconds?!...whoaaa!

    Withholding diplomas? I've heard of severely anally retarded before but nothing quite like this.

    I just read that. I grew up 10 miles south of that town.

    I think it's unfair, because it's punishing the kid for the actions of his/her parents/family members/friends. Maybe their family members should have to do some sort of service to make amends, but they should leave the kid out of it.

    My dad was actually a high school principal in the town where I grew up, and his policy was that the diploma could be withheld if the *student* did something to seriously disrupt the ceremony, but he would never have punished a student for someone else's actions. That's ludicrous.

    Even I think this is dumb, therefor it must be moronic as the OP said.

    I'm with you. I'm picking up yet another degree tomorrow at Ely Cathedral, and you're all invited to run around with your tits out, male or female. There's nothing more fucking boring than clapping. I've had that nonsense a few times, now.

    It's all about the kids man...give them their moment already...

    maybe it's to make the kids who don't get any cheers not feel bad? ....could be ....perhaps I'm wrong. I'm assuming everyone has proud parents in the audience at this time, or at least someone who is happy for them in attendance... Maybe the introverted parents complain so they don't have to applaud or make a scene.

    perhaps is it's just all so uncivilized to outwardly express happiness and joy when it's due?

    This introvert loves seeing people expressing happiness. :D

    Lacking free-will does not mean lacking ignorance. It just means one is incontrovertibly ignorant. It's a sad fate.
