What the fuck you talking about Christmas decorations? Christmas is practically tomorrow, that that shit down and get out your Easter decorations - we barely have enough time left to make people bored and disgusted with that holiday before it gets here...
To be honest though,can't wait until next week when I can start getting my 4th of July decorations ready, which are fortunately right on top of my Thanksgiving decorations, so I can just put one up as the other comes down.
I figure if I stay just a little ahead of the curve, I can start celebrating next year's Christmas before this one gets here...

Is this true somewhere, or are you mocking retail? If the latter, I couldn't agree more. Not much money in respect and poppies, I guess....

Considering remembrance/veterans day is a day to remind us and give thanks to those who went to war so that we could have free, democratic governments, it's a damn shame that we don't take the time to honour them. People always said that when the WWI/II vets started dying off remembrance day would go by the by. Seems like it's true, even though we have a new generation of soldiers that have recently done the same.
some dumbass places have been playing music. Also the shift to a green/red designs in stores and products has been very obvious.
Exactly,

The store I work at started getting this kind of stuff in months ago, Red towels etc. Also, while our Halloween stuff was out down the Seasonal aisle, they had already started to put put Christmas chocolates and gift sets on the opposite side.
While I'm all for Christmas, I think anything to do with it before Halloween is over is a little bit over kill.
As far as Rememberence day goes, it's never been a huge thing here as far as I remember. We take part in the minutes silence during school etc, but the only merchandising for poppies has always just been a few boxes here and there around the checkouts. I'm also talking about when I was younger here too...
It's kind of sad to see a holiday about rememberence be forgotten by the majority of people.

See i think that's part of the problem. I read the comments above and the word "holiday" kept popping up. This isn't a holiday, it's a day to stop and think, remember and thank. To think of it as a holiday is by its very nature submitting to what retail has taught us - one 'holiday' to the next.
Not our fault, I guess, with the amount of advertising and marketing going on. You can't watch or listen to any form of mainstream media without being interrupted every few minutes to be reminded that "this portion has been brought to you by ____", even though it's really been brought to you by, well, you. You pay for the content, I never understood that one (except for radio, I suppose).
My worst memory was either last year or the year before when I heard two severely uneducated Muslim girls screaming and yelling during the Moment of Silence in Toronto and they couldn't intelligently justify it. Then, sure enough, the memorial site got vandalized.
I think those people should be deported back to the shithole, war-torn, women-have-no-rights country they came from. Maybe that will teach them to appreciate.
