    Irreverence may well hide ignorance. I spent most of the day yesterday angrily arguing against remembrance, for remembrance, drawing daffodils, body piles, and other idiotic things. Yesterday, I just about did everything that could be taken as offensive on every day of the week, and I ate my poppy. It was the usual insanity, but how much meaning is it when one sits quietly for a minute and goes on with their day? We are not burdened with whatever the soldiers went through, and we have no way to emulate them. I'm sure, somewhere in the world, there is someone watching some generic war movie in commemoration, and I want to smash it apart. Are we thankful? We are not thankful, at least not the majority and as war goes on and on we grow more or less thankful at the sight of more or less war how do you think the peasants of the past dealt with the constant war and how militaristic societies developed themselves and how there are still militaristic societies today and contemplate not simply remember i remember picking my nose in grade one and so can you so what meaning does that hold none at all but that is the same meaning that war and death holds for us absolutely nothing as they do not signify advancement though they might cause it and even though some of our greatest achievements can be linked to war we simply cannot hold them in the light without mentioning oh what a shame which is bogus can we forget about the war no and i do not wish for it to be forgotten either but separation should be the key i simply cannot understand why stigma is thrown around haphazardlywithoutregardtoonesownregretandimsuretheveteransdotoandtheyregretitwhiletheystillfoughtqu ite

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    So many dead for such ridiculous reasons.

    Such moments in history define turning points in humanity, The Great War was one of these. It showed us something of that magnitude couldn't happen again. Unfortunately it did..

    I'll take a page from Duchamp and comfortably settle in here. Hopefully, no one will take the appropriate counter-action.
