Yellow? One with the Star of David?I think we should also have a "yellow poppy" to be worn by all those who refuse to fight tyranny because it means some people might get hurt.

Let's hope that this jerk doesn't piss on the war memorial.The fact that Havey is choosing Nov. 11'th AND going to the National War Memorial an hour later do his thing leads me to believe that he's an ass.
On the other hand, the Danes surrendered after 3 hours in WW II. Guess unconditional surrender to the 3rd Reich is better than fighting those bastards.Both my grandparents fought in the first war, and they both would have embraced the idea of a white poppy for peace.
I've seen white poppies in Canada for a few years but only from the idealistic war is evil (no matter if it's saving people), soldiers are baby killers (who cares if they are peace keepers trying to make a better place), non-violence is the only solution (even in the face of violent rights abuses), love everyone (except people who disagree with me) types."Many" is defined as "a whole bunch". LOL Okay, you make a valid point. But reading mervyn's post,it sounds like the white poppies are new in Canada this year.

Napolean wasn't any worse than any other ruler at the time. He was just a very successful general on the losing side.I wonder how you stop people like:

Napoleon

My first though was to question for which side but since he is talking about WWI, your thoughts and mine are moot.On the other hand, the Danes surrendered after 3 hours in WW II. Guess unconditional surrender to the 3rd Reich is better than fighting those bastards.

Presumably they must have lived in (occupied) Slesvig (The Dutchy of Schleswig), Since Denmark itself was a non-Combatant in the First World War.Both my grandparents fought in the first war, and they both would have embraced the idea of a white poppy for peace.
Bunch of idiotic lefties thinking they are doing good again and not realizing their idiocy.Peace activists are selling/giving away white poppies to protest war.
I think the red poppy is more than good enough.
To me the white poppy is like a slap in the face to veterans.
The peaceniks might say that it is better to be alive and oppressedCowards
Rather hard to defend a dead flat country, particularly when you (head in the sand) don't believe that you would ever be invaded.On the other hand, the Danes surrendered after 3 hours in WW II. Guess unconditional surrender to the 3rd Reich is better than fighting those bastards.
About 100km from end to end.Rather hard to defend a dead flat country,
No basis for that slur........-particularly when you (head in the sand) don't believe that you would ever be invaded.
A pretty and popular myth. I will give you that he was a symbol of Danish independence during the war.On the other hand, King Christian X of Denmark was a steadfast example of Danish resistance during the War.
The first people the Nazis rounded up and summarily shot when they marched over a country were the "peaceniks". There weren't too many "peaceniks" in Eastern Europe for 50 years after WW II but it appears they may be making a comeback.If Canada, USA and Britain had not fought Nazi Germany, how long do you think the Third Reich would have lasted? I wonder what the Peaceniks think of that scenario.

The Royal Canadian Legion has entered a fresh battle with peace activists, who claim the Remembrance Day poppies sold annually by veterans romanticize war and are selling white poppies they say symbolize non-violent conflict resolution.
"The red Legion poppy, in my opinion, represents the nostalgia and romanticizing of war," said Ian Harvey, an activist in the Ottawa White Poppy Coalition. "We should remember that you don't have to go to war to get peace."

I heard that they have since apologizeded for their error in judgment.Simply put, an organization that allows a pair of yahoos dressed in black-face and a KKK gown to win a costume contest in their premises has forfeited the right to lecture others on the misuse of symbols.
Let's hope OBL and Mullah Omar are listening.The man has a point.
So far, none of the group that has backed this campaign has had nothing but cutsie phrases that really carry no weight. Not fighting for peace is just about the worst. I'll be glad when they're gone. I suppose peace is not the goal of our troops in Afghanistan.The man has a point.
