Poppy Appeal

Some "charities" really annoy me. The poppy appeal really annoys me. If you're stupid enough to join the army (Hi there, can I hand over my brain and any opinion and free will I might have to you - you fine specimen of white middle-aged man with personality disorder? Thank you, now please send me to the desert so I can shoot someone!) then I'm sorry but you don't deserve any charity. Why do you need a yearly country wide appeal? Because you came back from war and realised you were a complete idiot and you're whole belief system has been blown to pieces? Buhuu I lost an arm – but you signed up for it! Don't give me this shit about them defending the country - who the fuck is attacking us? What? How many soldiers did you see around 7/7? I think it's a bit disgusting how people just hand out money to all these charities thinking that they have done something for the world without contemplating what they are actually supporting. It would be interesting to see how many of those who marched in the wake of the Iraq war are now wearing these god damn poppies. If you want to support people affected by war then support the civilians affected by war not the professionals who creates them. I might start an anti-poppy appeal! I’ll line up some of the mindless, heartless idiots who have received support from the poppy appeal and find the widows, children and hurt people who’s life they have directly ruined and give THEM the money and support. Make a stance – say no to the poppy appeal!
