DerbyX DerbyX: SprCForr SprCForr: The symbol of their sacrifice is a poppy. $1: Since 1921, the Poppy has stood as a symbol of Remembrance, our visual pledge to never forget all those Canadians who have fallen in war and military operations. The Poppy also stands internationally as a “symbol of collective reminiscence”, as other countries have also adopted its image to honour those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. That doesn't mean other symbols honouring their sacrifice aren't as relevant or with any less meaning. Nobody is suggesting it be replaced or superceded.
Again though, that is what the PPU have said. I am not sure how to interpret the word "decoupling"
other than that.

DerbyX DerbyX: An extremely small religious extremist "family" isn't a fair comparison.
You're better then that. Those freaks didn't wear either poppy probably because they consider it a "false idol" and a one way ticket on the J-train to H-E-double hockey sticks.
Sorry man, you have lost me here.

Sounds like you meant these fucktards.

DerbyX DerbyX: Chumley Chumley: I know that is what they said, and I would like to think they do not mean it as an insult, but in my opinion, it is. So their own words are not to be believed? Remember this was long before modern thinking and even before WW2. How can you truly form a correct opinion about their intentions some 70 years later?
Hey, there have been two faced people around far longer than WW1.
People often say one thing and mean another.
Remember that part from the play Julius Ceasar where Antony is running down Brutus, but he manages to do so all the while saying how honorable a man he is?
We mean no disrespect to the soldiers but there is absolutely no reason for war.
That in itself says they gave their lives for nothing. Hard for me not to see the insult.
But maybe they just didn't see it. For they are honorable people with an honorable ideal.

Sorry but that is wrong.
"no more war" suggest something else.

Wow, never heard of them before.
What I was saying was that if people have the right to wear the white poppy as a protest symbol to a soldiers memorial service, and by that I meant a Remembrance Day ceremony, than people also have the right to protest the people with the white poppy being there.

It doesn't necessairily mean a protest though.

Ok, I will concede these guys probably meant no insult, but I think they were blind to the insult they gave.
And they did give it, or else the legion would not have a problem with them.
These guys protested Britains entry in WW2. If they had been in Canada at the time, they would have done so here as well.
If everyone had listened to them the result would have been Germany marching though London thinning out the population a bit. I doubt a lot of the peace protesters would still toe the line once certain of them started getting rounded up and put in camps, but I guess the blond haired-blue eyed ones would have been proud of sticking to thier beliefs.

If the people wearing it believe it stands for what you said earlier than it isnt protest:
"Its intended to say I support the military and the sacrifices they had to make but I don't support wars I feel aren't justified."
But if it is worn as a symbol of the PPU, and they are the ones distributing it, than I believe it is.
