I don't honestly know. You certainly don't have to be as concerned about offending the royals as you do about joking about assassinating the American president while in the US though.

They can still kill you for burning down a RN ship or installation or waving a Scottish Royal Standard. But that's it.

That's a fair point.  But seriously, the FF were as incapable of foreseeing a scumbagging piece of shit like Trump as they were of foreseeing the AR-15 when they wrote that stupid 2d amendment.

To be fair, it must be hard to imagine such a regression of intellect in leaders when you live in an age of enlightenment. I can imagine them shuddering to hear some of the stupid shit that comes out of Trump's mouth.

True. It was hard to imagine even during Dubya's incompetent reign. It wouldn't have been funny on the Simpson's if so.

My response to the second amendment is always the third amendment and the suggestion that people contemplate the possibility they were written for different times.
