I really don't care if they want to have their white poppies, however, give November 11'th to the vetrans. They can use any of the other days of the year.
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.
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.
I ended up getting a yellow ribbon and a Canadian flag pin just to piss the knob off.
Napolean wasn't any worse than any other ruler at the time. He was just a very successful general on the losing side.
My first though was to question for which side but since he is talking about WWI, your thoughts and mine are moot.
Presumably they must have lived in (occupied) Slesvig (The Dutchy of Schleswig), Since Denmark itself was a non-Combatant in the First World War.
Bunch of idiotic lefties thinking they are doing good again and not realizing their idiocy.
The peaceniks might say that it is better to be alive and oppressed
than dead so that someone else can live free.
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.
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, King Christian X of Denmark was a steadfast example of Danish resistance during the War.
About 100km from end to end.
No basis for that slur.
A pretty and popular myth. I will give you that he was a symbol of Danish independence 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.
P.S. It was the "peaceniks" who caused WW II because they thought Hitler was a nice guy with a funny mustache.
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.
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.
