Strangely enough, the word 'Poppycock' immediately precedes the words 'Poppy Day' in most dictionaries, one wonders if such close proximity is indicative of a mutual characteristic, OR, perhaps both could aptly be described as having been "Tarred with the same brush". :wink:

According to my dictionary the word 'Homo Sapiens' immediately precedes the word 'homosexual'.
Therefore your above argument makes perfect sense to me. :wink:

Well upon my soul, such astuteness on your part is quite amazing, tell me " Did you purposely look up the connection or are you a lexicographer and therefore quite familiar with the 'Latter' word ?".

The reason I made the above inquiry is that our friend seems to be somewhat 'Preoccupied' with matters pertaining to the 'Rear end' of any topic. :lol:

Well now my friend, since you seem to enjoy habitual ridicule, I do wonder how you will react to a slight retaliation ? (not my usual style I assure you) :wink:

...if you know anything about the living in which the soldiers invested, you
will recall the great movements for Humanity, then at their Advent.

...the horror which wiped out an entire generation of Europeans is and was dismissed.
no War, no Hatred evolved against real enemies such as Hunger and Disease; no Grace by us the living
because the lives of soldiers have no Glory without the betterment of Humanity.
"Lest We Forget"

on Remembrance Day I wear a poppy without shame, I give my respect to those whose lives were sacrificied, i dedicate again my aim to fight against the fear within myself which produces such Ignorance.
