Judging by your responses, it has rather a lot to do with your age - and apparent attitude.

It doesn't always hold true, but a few turns around the block seems to engender a certain amount of respect for others as well as yourself.

I'm not saying you don't have any, because I don't know you, but if you have, it doesn't show.

TheOptimist;

You Sir would clearly never lay down your life for your Country

Need we say more

It has nothing to do with my age and attitude.

It has far mroe to do with the fact none of you have actually given me a valid response beyond 'oh you're just young, you couldn't possibly know.' Respect for others? You mean like calling the shop owners 'muppets' for enforcing their uniform policy?

I think you should read my previous post, pasted on page 1 of this thread and quoted by someone.

@ Geehovah - You don't know me at all, and are completely ignorant given the fact that I'm currently going through my military applications. Another ad-hominem. Go and play with your toys little child.

Well said Dengue Dude.

I suggest we move on and leave those who don't appreciate the sacrifice made by others to be.

Charlie Time, can you read? Or have you conveniently ignored my other posts in this thread?

If you could point out exactly where I've shown any disrespect whatsoever then I'd be grateful.

Perhaps some of you could focus on the topic at hand rather than;

- Insulting my respect of our armed forces (for which there is absolutely no basis - in fact in this thread alone there is evidence to the contrary).
- Devaluing my opinions based on the fact that I'm young.
- Making ridiculous assumptions regarding my willingess to joing the forces.

What has 'issues' got to do with it? You are just mindlessly repeating the pathetic mantra of the 'elf 'n safety' muppets, or perhaps you have a coherent explanation in your own words as to why wearing a paper poppy is an 'issue'.

Having read through Optimist's post history, he/she seems to be an opinionated sh1t stirrer, who deserves no more than junior troll status.

Please do not feed.

Capetonian - Sterile prep for theatre doesn't leave much time for poppies.

Fat Chris - Please quote all my 'stirring' and 'trolling' please. Would love for you to find a valid example of either.

I hope you fail.

Shh, listen, did you hear the little mouse click?

Fat Chris - i agree with you -i too was bored for a few minutes and trawled through this little boy's posts - lets just hope he does not get into the military and goes back to his Walter Mitty dreams and aspirations...

Anyway - the owners of the bodycare shop have had their own issues in the past as per the link below
