I have said elsewhere that the poppy industry is growing more bizarre by the year. Still, I prefer our areseholes to your arseholes. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I reckon it must be only a couple of years before someone releases a catchy pop song about Poppies and Remembering and that - thus marking the point where November 11th completes the transformation into Christmas II. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooders has missed a trick here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Because it hasn't worked. None of it. Even if it had worked we need to move on. It's frankly weird and perverse now.What hasn’t worked? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Not drinking hasn't workedI managed to stay sensible last night.I’m just wondering if DA thinks it’s the memorials that haven’t worked over the years or if he’s saying war hasn’t worked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Right, I've popped my poppy on - first time this year. Will watch the service on TV, will participate in moments silence, will bow my head and remember those who died in world wars, will then take poppy off and head out and enjoy the day. I never forgot, will never forget but refuse to participate outwith this. It's turning into an armed forces, rule Britannia, bomb the shite out of third world countries wankfest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original message was about never forgetting the horrors and the costs of wars so that there would never be another.You could argue that the message hasn’t worked because our governments have started and been involved in numerous wars since but it still doesn’t mean that we should just stop remembering our soldiers for one day of the year. I really don’t think we live in a society that glorifies war either. What are you basing that on? Our soldiers aren’t considered as heroes by most people either, a lot of ex servicemen and women are treated awfully in this country. I think you are way off base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
