A woman came to my door and sold me one! I always buy one. People died for our freedom!

Our works have just got them in, but I need to wait until Friday (Pay day) before I can get one :sad:

Fair enough - what about the money that they make from selling the poppies?
Oh I give money, just don't get the poppy.

Yes. :colour:

I buy and wear them.

Poppies are an honour of respect and I believe everyone should wear one, at least on the day...

Jackie 28-10-2008 05:15 PM

I used to but don't bother now.

Watch out girl.

Poppies have opium within.

Opium can send you to sleep.

I saw it in the wizard of oz.

But when I walked into the perfume shop to buy my mum a present it was rather expensive.

Take it off.

It's nearly time for bed.

I dont want you to stab yourself with a pin.

Blood on white sheets really show up.

If I can get one I do,but they don't sell them in many places over here.

Sticks 30-10-2008 04:50 PM

Do some people still think they are glorifying war?

I did wonder with the war against terror, some might see it as related to that, even though it predates it by several decades :bored:

TwinklesB12 05-11-2008 12:48 PM

I always buy and wear one I have done since I was very small and I think I always will do.

pinkmichk 05-11-2008 01:03 PM

Why is that?

Sunny_01 05-11-2008 01:55 PM

I always buy one and wear one, it is a mark of respect for those that fought to let us live the way we do today.

Sticks 05-11-2008 03:00 PM

I have one and I wear it

Some believe it glorifies war, hence some peace groups sell white poppies :rolleyes:

Tom 05-11-2008 03:55 PM

I bought one today but I don't wear them, they annoy me and always fall off, and they never match my clothes :blush2:

*sounds like such a woman*
