(OT) The Monarchy!

Try watching them live, first gig Ive been to where they actually force you to take earbus when entering the room. Lead singer is a total nutjob too.

 

I don't think I've met 154 million people yet. What's that like?

 

lol

 

If it's that loud i think i'll give that a miss I still want to be able to use my ears for a few more years.

 

Nah man, if they're ever playing in Jersey...go see em!

 

anyways arent all your royals inbred in some way or another?
thats why most of them cant clot the blood.

 

They arent my royals thank you very much. They're German.

 

If you're that certain then i probably would, although i doubt that they ever would come to Jersey! We're not exactly a massive draw.

 

I don't have any royals, thanks!

 

Pretty much all of europe's royal families are so inbred they carry some common diseases or genetic traits. I think haemophilia might well be one of them yes.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Victoria passed on something to most of the royal families through her ten kids who married into many of them. Can't remember what it was though.

 

The son of Tsar Alexander II was a haemophiliac supposedly because of relation to Victoria.

 

well around 60 million people voted for george w bush, he got the highest majority of the votes. thats what i base my majority off, and to me that = Idiots

 

A little bit of patriotism is a good thing, Id much rather have people that care about he country, than people that dont give a **** about it. To answer the thread I think it would take so much hassle to try and remove the royal family, that it just wouldn't be worth it.

 

Just stop giving them £60m every year, not hard is it? If anything it's less effort to not give them money.

 

That's another huge generalisation though. It's not as though the option at election was 'George Bush vs Candidate Who Will Provide Everything You Ever Wanted From Life'. I wouldn't have voted for Bush but I don't think it's fair to instantly label everybody who did as an 'idiot' when they may have had plenty of good reasons for backing him based on his domestic or non-middle eastern foreign policy.

I'd rather people cared for humanity and the planet in general than a specific designated piece of land. I don't think patriotism is necessarily needed for somebody to care for and about where they live.

 

Patriotism just shows how as a species, the only advances we've actually had in recent history are technological. The idea that as a country we need a royal family, is outdated. The fact that in a recession they have a wedding costing the country in excess of 20 million, not to mention the day off that would have had an effect of small businesses, shows how out of touch the whole idea is. It beggars belief that people however, will act as if it's a benefit that we still have a monarchy.

Pretty sure we actually made money in the royal wedding (as a nation).

I quite like the monarchy. Rather have them than not. Anyone who's dead against them can leave the country if you like. No-ones forcing you to stay here.
