@Theriverdreams Interesting you include Ireland in that one. I'm guessing just the North? For me it's because I see it as a political tool and I do not agree with what Britain did in a lot of the wars. To each their own though and I can understand why one would wear it.

And we are not them if we dwell on what our ancestors did then how will we move forward? remember those who died to give us the rights we have they died for a cause right or wrong they did what they thought was right at the time we learn and grow from it. I bet what you hold against britain you were not even alive for

Ummm Iraq and Afganistan? To name two I was. Also I do not think wearing the poppy means anything. To respect what people sacrificed we should try to stop it from happening again instead of buying a political tool.
