Poppy Day does not glorify war. It is merely a commemoration of all those brave troops who have given their lives for Britain (or, in Canada, for Canada), since WWI. It is to these troops that Britain (despite the best efforts of the EU) and Canada owe their freedom and democracy. It is our chance to thank those troops for giving their lives so that we can be free.

When did Britain become a democracy?

When we were a colony of Britain? We've still colonial status, but we've switched empires.



"To sleep, perchance to dream-
ay, there's the rub."
- from Bill S's Hamlet
The Empire to which we are subservient knows no borders or political alliance.

Well, it all seems to be here. I dont see much point in a rehash of the last 7 pages. Who knows, maybe the arguments have changed a bit.

As it is harder and harder to take a war mongering racist like you serious. Difference is, for the most part, it's not worth my time to even give you the red.


Your attitude of "this is the way mankind is" IS the main reason we still have war. Instead of trying to change, you and most others use the cop out of, "it's the way it is" and then denigrate those that say that it doesn't have to be that way. We are called cowards for being anti-war. I say fine, call me a coward, narcissist, arrogant, and ignorant, I really don't care what the feeble minded think of me. And yes, you and your buddies are the feeble minded. Those that can't see the benefits of change and the disadvantages of remaining the same are guaranteed to repeat the past over and over again. That is why we have very few years of real peace in this world over the last 100 plus years.


just because I doubt very much colpy got it the first time.
