The Queen Can Get Stuffed

[onlinebiker]

Technically, we do. I was going to mention it separately, but now I can bring it up because of your comment.

Hollywood is this country's version of royalty. Maybe even the presidency when it comes to nationalists.

I confess to being puzzled as to why USians have such strong feelings (for and against) the British monarchy.

Firstly, it’s not your country or your king, why do you even care? You’re not subject to it, you’re not paying for it - why does it matter so much?

Seriously??? You lecture here ad nauseum of how the USA should run our affairs. You constantly tell us what we are doing wrong. On guns. On civil rights. On Abortion. On environmental issues.


Secondly, there are scads of other hereditary monarchies in the world, but no Yanks seem to get themselves all twisted up over places like Spain or Norway or Jordan.

Again - seriously??? How about our countrymen didn' t have to fight a war with your King to get him out of our country? None of those other countries felt they owned us.


And for OLB specifically, of COURSE you as an American, wouldn’t be expected to call King Charles ‘your Highness’ (the proper form of address is ‘Your Majesty’).

He would be lucky to get a "Mister" from me.

If you meet him are you going to call the Pope "Your Holiness"???

Because he has exactly the same amount of "God given authority" as your king.

None.

It seems that a whole lot of people have not thought this through.

Why would anyone in their right minds idolize "The Royals"?

These are a bunch of inbreds whose claim to fame is being related to a bunch of evil pricks who claimed "right to rule" by virtue of "God said we are in charge".

Anyone who makes such claims deserves ridicule at least - involuntary commitment to a mental institution at best.


Atheists should be ashamed of going along with this crap..

Americans do a disservice to the Colonists who risked everything throwing the King out of our lives.

I call no one "Your Highness" and I'm not kissing the fucking Pope' s ring either..



Divine Right can kiss my ass..

Reading the title I would warn about giving Charlie ideas...

Thinking - taxidermist and residency on the mantle?

I follow a podcast called "Noble Blood" that has stories about royals from all over the world and throughout time.  It's just a curiosity for me.

Of course I would. Why wouldn’t I? It’s the proper form of address.

It’s what mature people do.

Which is perfectly fine. I was referring to non-Britons who are fucking obsessed - pro or con - about the British monarchy.

Queen Elizabeth was arguably the most important female in the world.

So…argue it. What qualifies her as ‘the most important female in the world’?

(This should be a giggle.)

Proper?


The only difference between Royals and Mafios is the head of the Mafia doesn't dress like Liberache. The Don doesn' t hide behind "divine right" - he muscled his way in all on his own..


The Royals are lies built upon lies that gullible people bought into.

Wealth. Charity. Royal blood. Popularity/fame.

She was neither the richest or the most charitable woman in the world. There’s an excess of people with ‘royal’ blood. Her popularity was up and down over the years. Fame? Possibly, but being famous doesn’t necessarily correlate to being important.

What else ya got?
