No wanking over dead soldiers guys. I will probably think of that idiot moment of me and my big mouth for the rest of my life every year when I buy my poppy. No need to remind me. |

No wanking over dead soldiers guys Lad arrested for burning poppy!! Nov 13, 2012 at 1:35pm That is a sick arrest in a sick war-obsessed country  He's surely got the right to choose not to wank on soldiers and wars - I just think the three-line whip saying everyone MUST wear a poppy is a form of disrespect, it's got to be a positive choice surely.

Well that's pretty much how I feel about it and honestly I don't think I'm alone. This could be so easily solved. I've said before and will keep saying: WE NEED A VETERANS' DAY. Personally, I'd want to add police, firefighters, anyone else who risks their life for public safety. That would be a really important day in the calendar and rightly so. Which would leave Armistice Day free to remember the dead, especially the dead of the two world wars who didn't choose to fight but were conscripted - but everyone else who has died or become disabled at war too of course. |

For as much as people argue about whether the poppy itself symbolises support for current wars (I wont get involved in that), I believe that adding the 'try burning this' to the above is a huge disservice and lack of respect for it. Supposed to be there to symbolise support and respect yet all it does is attempt to incite. If its intended to show that somebody is standing up for what they believe in, surely the best way to do so is to carry on as normal. Whoever it is that message is targeting have already won to a certain extent if people feel the need to overtake a symbol or remembrance in to a symbol of defiance. In my honest and humble opinion of course |

I'll wear one on the day but can't be doing with those who wear them beforehand, as if to to say "Look at me, I bought a poppy, aren't I a good person.".
I just feel people wearing a poppy nowadays are doing it spread their racial hatred. I don't think many give a damn about the fallen.

That's most of the country then. "Look at me, I bought a poppy, aren't I a good person." I wear poppy before hand....I don't think it's a way of saying I am a good person.....it's a symbol of respect for our heroes  |

So wearing a poppy is another item to add to your list of things which mean people are bigoted. You sound a very paranoid and to an extent psychotic individual |

I wear one out of respect and pride for those who gave their life and for those putting their lives at risk now. |

Wearing the poppy is a visual tag that identifies the wearer as someone that has a particular way of thinking. A sympathy for a certain set of traditional ideals. Britain is also home to many people who hold different views, people who reject or have little or no empathy for traditional values.
So, I suppose in some respects the Poppy season is perhaps the closest thing the British have to the Irish and their marching season. Marching itself a visual tag that denotes an allegiance to a certain mindset.
I'd be interested to hear what the former Oatcake squaddies think about the Irish marching season and if they feel that the two visual tags are comparable.

I'd be interested to hear what the former Oatcake squaddies think about the Irish marching season and if they feel that the two visual tags are comparable. The people who do the marching in Ireland regard themseleves as British No, both sides march and i'd also say that everyone from the north and the south regard themselves as Irish, whilst the north, politically, is part of the Union. If you're from the north you can describe yourself as both Irish and British if you wish, in the same way that you can be both English and British. But that's not my point, the part that interests me is about visual tags and whether or not the taking part in visually expressing a view by poppy or by marching is a positive or a negative. As i've not seen any marches personally, i've asked people that may have had experience on this for an opinion, or anyone for that matter. Poppies and Marching? It's essentially the same thing isn't it? |

But that's not my point though. But if you want to take the argument down that road, Britain isn't a country, it's a Union. If you were born and raised in Northern Ireland, which country are you from? Are you suggesting that people regard themselves as Dutch? Of course not, they're Irish or Northern Irish depending upon their chosen political identity. |
