I usually get one, i wear it for about 2 hours then I lose it... the pins never stay on for me, and they always fall off.

No. I understand completely what they're about, and completely respect the cause, I just don't see how pinning a paper flower to me is 'showing respect' to be fair.

Fair enough - what about the money that they make from selling the poppies?
