You're not bloody wrong! They're properly loud, i've got my speakers on 2 and they're still blocking out all other noise <laugh> Great band though from the few songs i've just listened to, my sort of thing!

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.

God i extremely dislike the majority of Americans.

any country that values it right to have guns more highly than the poor to have a chance at life with a little help from free health care is idiotic.

****ing america... there president is basically decided by who can get the most billionaires to support them.

one of the richest countries in the world with one of the poorest populations.

think any different to the "american way" and you are labeled a communist and enemy of the country.

they are ****ed up

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.

Patriotism is a pointless excercise in further dividing humans for absolutely no reason. Being pleased to live in a free society when there are still many opressive parts of the world at large today, however, is surely a good thing.

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.
