A direct link to ordering your white poppies if you want to.

No thank you.

That's okay, you do not have to.
I'd rather have peace, but never mind.

I expect we'd all rather have peace.

Ill stick to my red one, it says much more to me than white,but each to their own.

Sorry, I'll, and yes we all want peace that's for sure, wanting Is the easy bit, it's securing it, that's the stumbling block!!!

And choosing a red poppy does not signify that the wearer does not want peace.

Indeed not. And not wearing any poppy does not mean the non-wearer doesn't want peace either.

One doesn't have to wear a badge to be sincere about wanting peace, or to prove oneself about anything, actually.

Hear hear Thatbags!

In fact, it is an insult to those who don't wear a white poppy, or any poppy, to assume that they don't want peace.

It is getting a bit like those facebook shares "Like this and share it if you . . . . ." implying that if you don't "like" and "share" it then you are a miserable bugger who doesn't give a shit about the thing the poster is promoting. Or shouting out at the theatre that you believe in fairies, because every time a child says they don't believe, a fairy dies.

All I meant is that the centre of the white poppy says peace. But obviously you haven't noticed that. Never mind.

Soldiers for peace.

You were reaping the harvest of the seeds sown earlier, dj, during the debate on white or red poppies. I am glad to hear that you had no intention of implying that anyone didn't prefer peace.

I always shout - I believe in faries in the theatre

Wearing a red or white poppy or not wearing a red or white poppy or wearing or not wearing both is the choice of the individual ,

All I meant is that the centre of the white poppy says peace. But obviously you haven't noticed that. Never mind.

If that's what you meant, why didn't you say that?

Obviously nothing! You do not know what other people notice. Stop saying such stupid things.

I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES!

The Tooth Fairy (where else do those teeth go?)
Tinkerbell (I saw her once)
And the ones at the bottom of our garden.

I do believe in peace
I will wear a red poppy on Remembrance Day and I will pray for peace.

However, even if I pray very hard I doubt it will happen.
Look at man's history over the millennia.
So all we can do is help to pick up the pieces.

Reminds me of something we were told as the children of Catholics, rq, which was that if enough people throught the world said enough Hail Marys then there would be peace and goodness in the world. Something like that anyway.

Never going to happen, wishful, fairy world thinking.

The intention is fine. The method... If... then... Aye, right.

throughout

Yes, and the Catholic nuns and Christian Brothers brought a lot of peace and goodness didn't they (another story)

So had you noticed that the centre of the white poppy said peace, bags - or anyone else who criticised me for saying I'd rather have peace?
I'd rather you didn't call me stupid.
Oh, of course, you didn't, just told me to stop saying such stupid things.
Of course that was only one thing.
How about the rest of the stupid things you are referring to, in your rude way.

I didn't call you stupid, dj. What I called stupid was the statement containing "obviously hadn't noticed...". I called that stupid because you have no way of knowing what other people notice.
