Remembrance

[subsub]

chuck those idiotic poppies in the bin. They're symbols of militaristic chauvinism and imperial nostalgia.

Bit harsh, Tick.
Don't see anything wrong with remembering the sacrifices others have made.

It's not harsh. It's just bloody stupid from someone who hasn't a clue.

Tick is a twat of the highest order.

If subsub, one of the most left wing posters on here, considers Tick's comments about a peaceful and commemorative symbol as 'harsh', then he most certainly deserves being called that. Report me if you want.

It's surely time to retire this mawkish demonstration of reverence to past conflicts. All of which just enables the alt-right to inflict the orwellian demand on others to "wear the poppy with pride".

We're continually badgered with the emotional blackmail to support the military unquestioningly. The best thing to do is have a day where the civilian and military dead from all conflicts are commemorated as a reminder of the evil of wars and those who declare them.

And for crying out loud, chuck those idiotic poppies in the bin. They're symbols of militaristic chauvinism and imperial nostalgia.

[The Tick]

Politicians in the UK wearing poppies on their lapels are lime those in the USA who have little flag pins on theirs. Unimaginative and just done for show. It's all self righteous posturing.

That's not an argument.

Remember what Zambo posted in the 'Israel' thread:

The abuse on this and The Remembrance threads stops now. There will be no more warnings about calling other posters twats and posting that they are brain dead because views are disagreed with.

A wannabe controversialist like Tick is simply not worth bothering about. Ignore him and like a petulant child he will do something more outrageous for attention.

the freedoms that you have, which admittedly are being shrunk, were in the eyes of those who died or were affected by the great war then second world war are for reflection and recognition.

It is a tradition of the country you despise (i'd have you placed in a muslim country of your choice along with any dependents, with all due respect)

What you can do in countries of the commonwealth that recognise the sacrifice made, now that you have the right to disagree with it do to the freedoms they gave to you.....is don't buy a poppy and don't take part.....

The "great war" wasn't about freedom. It was about the greed of the major participants for each others' possessions.

you misunderstand

much like now, these engineered wars are about control and greed

the people, or pawns that were manipulated and misled to make the ultimate sacrifice...


it's about them

[lambrini]

The poppy isn't a symbol of greed nor glorifies war. Why would you think that?

[paolo]

The poppy isn't a symbol of greed or the celebration of war. Why would you think that?

Lambrini,

separate thread for the Jew questions?
