Lets get the annual 'Would you wear a poppy?' rubbish thread up and running

Flowers are pretty, so yes.

Doesn't the poppy symbolise remembering people who have their lives fighting for the common wealth since world war 1 and onwards ?, if so I would wear one. My Great Grand Father fought in world war 1, Irish men both North and South of the border have lost their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq and including other world wars. Too me the poppy doesn't symbolise tht there was a war but my fellow Irish men who gave their lives to support their families and themselves. Too me the poppy is a respect to my fellow Irish men, our fallen heroes, or ghosts sadly in some cases
