Plenty of brave Irishmen have died fighting alongside our lads over the years, those using the wearing of a poppy to highlight their political agendas should remember that it's only a way of showing that their sacrifices will not be forgotten..

Agree with the above. The problem some Irish people would have is that it's an all incorporating symbol. I don't think you'd find many disagreeing with either World War, but it would also commemorate plenty who caused a lot of harm in Ireland. I don't think given our shared history it can reasonably be expected for people to wear it under those circumstances. How many British people living/working in Germany or Japan would celebrate their war dead? Genuine point, not jibing at anyone.

Born Hunter 17,656 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I gladly donate but don't wear a poppy all the time like many do. I hate badges or anything like that on me, I'm just funny like that. I give my respects and donate, don't see why it's expected I should wear a poppy as well so everybody knows I do? A arm band or colour clothing I would do. Isn't there meant to be a day where you wear a red item of clothing in support of our troops? I would deffinately wear one at a public event though.

scothunter 12,609 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 plenty old timers have been to germany for remeberance,cant say they would go to japan though lol oh the majority of those old boys would gladly see japan at the bottom of the sea.wicked wee b*****ds.and no forgiveness or honour of old soldiers between japan. dont need to wear a poppy imo,but if you are at place where they honour that silence,then regardless of whether you agree or not,but you should respect it.

And I'd have no problem with that. When the English rugby team came to Croke Park, scene of a genuine massacre by British forces, there was respect shown for the Anthem. What I was saying is that the barracking and judging that goes on regarding peoples personal choices is wrong, it dirties the memory of people who are being remembered IMO. The day isn't about the people doing the remembering, it's about those who are to be remembered. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
