If they 'let' him do anything then they were not good girls, so gently caress 'em. If they didn't scream they must have wanted it, right?

Excuse me but he grew an extra inch recently which means his BMI isn't obese . - something that happened last year when Donnie showed Dr. Oz his totally real medical record.

It's become really trendy here to make or buy fancy beaded/ceramic/etc poppies that you can just reuse every year which defeats the entire point of the poppy campaign, which is to buy a new one every year as donations to veterans groups. So yeah, you're wearing a poppy, but it didn't do poo poo to actually help anyone other than self-congratulate your own masturbatory rear end. It's the "thoughts and prayers" of November 11.

I remember the white poppy campaign a few years ago in Canada and there was a huge backlash against it because it does take away from the donations to veterans. Support groups for them are so badly funded across the board that it's the least you can do to give some change each November.

Exactly.

Re: poppy chat: the whole thing is mystifying to us in :patriot: because we already had a "remember dead veterans" day (Memorial Day, after the Civil War), so November 11 got modded to Veterans Day, when we honor living veterans.

Last I knew, the American Legion Auxiliary did poppies here on Memorial Day and the Veterans of Foreign Wars did poppies on Veterans Day, but since my dad died I haven't kept up.

The poppies here are made by veterans with disabilities, if I recall correctly.

It was a shame how he carried on

This reminds me of the exchange like this that involved believing in God. Something like the first person saying "well if you can't see it how do you believe in it???" and the super smart person going "don't you believe in God though?"

In other words, this seems like STDH just like that was. But keep in mind, this is 2017 and nothing matters anymore so it's probably real.

In the UK they are a perfectly normal thing that normal people in real life will engage with a few days a year and are entirely appropriate.

On social media they are unsurprisingly taken on by the usual suspect culture warriors who do what they do with every thing they touch.

Yeah, cause wasn't the whole point to represent the poppy fields that the dead soldiers effectively fertilized in the aftermath of the war? That all the hope and dreams of millions of soldiers are reduced to nothing due to the war and the folly of man, as the earth took back the blighted hellscape that trench warfare turned vast swathes of the country into? Or am I thinking too bleakly about it?

Remember the guys acting as Tommies at a train station in London during the 100th “anniversary” of the first day of the Somme (July 1st, 1916). It was really poignant and moving, seeing those troopers calmly stand still and looking towards the station clock at 07:30, the moment thousands of troops left their trenches (of which 20 000 would die on that day ALONE).

More of that kind of remembrance, and less salami-riddled pizzas, is what I’m saying.

Not post, present. McCrae wrote In Flanders Fields shortly after the 2nd battle of Ypres.
He, like Wilfred Owen, was killed before the war ended.

“Good-morning, good-morning!” the General said
When we met him last week on our way to the line.
Now the soldiers he smiled at are most of 'em dead,
And we're cursing his staff for incompetent swine.
“He's a cheery old card,” grunted Harry to Jack
As they slogged up to Arras with rifle and pack.

But he did for them both by his plan of attack.

No, they did support and advertise on Fox. But Keurig pulled their Hannity advertising when he proclaimed that a 32-yr old dude dating a 14-yr old is cool and good and nothing to worry about.
This is what these retards are mad about.

It's not just marriage, a lot of fundamentalists believe that children under 18 are literally just objects their parents own, like a car or a lawnmower. It's not necessarily a conscious thought but it's pervasive culturally.

e: As for Moore: I suppose as a judge you probably want someone whose approach is "this is about what the law says, not how I feel about it", but when the judge wants to be a lawmaker suddenly how he personally feels about what's permissible is a lot more relevant.

His cure is enormous doses of copper supplements. I've run across him a couple times since he lives in my area; his MD is from a Caribbean diploma mill, and he literally thinks hundreds of diseases are caused by magic parasitic worms that are passed to fetuses during pregnancy and that can't be detected but still exist.

Cure Diabetes, Parkinson's, & Chronic Disease posted:

The main deficiency in the understanding of these many diseases seems to lie in the refusal of people to consider parasitic worm disease as a possibility; many people consider the suggestion that they have a parasitic (worm) infection to be an insult, rather than merely an objective observation or explanation. My findings, then, are the result of the application of pure reason, free of any prejudice.

quote:

These parasitic worms... will be found to cause many diseases, perhaps more than 100 of them. This organism might even disprove the existence of autoimmune diseases, diseases of which no one has ever been cured (thereby being an ineffective model of disease), as far as I am aware.

In other words, he has no idea how medicine or rational thought actually work. (Note that he started making these claims within days of getting his diploma-mill MD.)
