 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It's an archaic and completely obselete relic of a time in this country that I'm glad I wasn't born into. If I were calling the shots it would be dissolved tomorrow. But I'm not, so I don't care.

St Thomas Aquinas said that Monarchy is the best form of government if the King is good, but the worst form of government if the King is Bad.

Prince Andrew is smoking hot (always has been, too)  JFC, just needs some facial hair.

I think the monarchy is a ridiculous leftover from a bygone era and we'd ideally be better off without them. Whether we'd be better off right now without them is a different question.

So lopping off heads, while satisfying, isn't going to eliminate the issue, it will just mutate it into something else you'll be stuck with.

True. But the Kardashians don't have any power or influence over politics.

Trump ain't that far off the Kardashian orbit.

It comes full circle, don't it ?

In terms of religion, there is a definite connection there.

In my family growing up, we'd always joke about watching the Queen's speech at Christmas. It was never said as a joke, it didn't need to be because the idea of sitting down and subjecting ourselves to some pompous long winded parasite lecturing to us for however long it lasts was ludicrous. I never actually saw the Queen's speech for years.

And then my born again Christian brother married a Christian woman. She watches the Queen's speech and laps up the whole Christian message. She sits in front of the TV while we're cleaning up the table or going off and doing other stuff.

The royal family, like religion is a form of social control.
