Cheer up! It's not all bad

Many people are idiots. For starters, it's Armistice Day, we celebrate the end of the Great War, and we remember those who fell needlessly during it. I completely fail to see the "Imperialist" connection.

Many people are idots but we had thirty years of violence because two side's deified the glorious fallen dead of there own side and demonised the other. Its dangerous to be unthinking about the symbols you hold dear if they become part of your Identity then it can lead to problems with other people who dont have the same feelings.

I am not saying its you personally its just summit that happens

On a personal note I have no love or hatred for the Poppy but it does seem to be worn now as a badge rather than to actually display rememberence. I think personally it should be worn just for the week as it is becoming devalued as evidenced by the fact more and more British people are voicing concern over just this point.

I have never worn a Poppy ever but I see no reason for English people to stop wearing it.
