a Monarchy works... Though I do believe that you'll
surely understand it better when Trump is voted back-on...

I think Trump is going to have to run so he can pardon himself and others should he be elected! Originally Posted by WTF... Ca'mon, mate.. Let's you and me wander-over
Queen is dead is the title and topic.A decent person would have waited until after she was buried before making, crazy, stupid, hurtful (and wrong) comments.
Word is the queen wont be buried for ten days and the official ceremony for charlie coming king wont happen till next year. Even though he was "king" the second she passed Originally Posted by winn dixie
As for the linguistics professor...if she had been a history professor then she would have known that Elizabeth allowed her country to leave the empire without a war. She should be thanking Elizabeth...unless she is angry with what her own people did to the country after they became independent. Misplaced anger and stupid.

Slavery, theft of natural resources, theft of countries riches and cultural artifacts under the crown. The royals refuse to answer to this or return the fortunes they stole. Not to mention that their country allows them to keep these riches. The queen could have returned made good on this. But NO SHE DIDNT!

Belgium, under King Leopold II killed a million Africans to mine copper and cultivate rubber. Russia colonized Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, et. al. as the Soviet Union. Millions of dead. Italy...Libya, Ethiopia. France...Vietnam, Algeria, Congo. Turkey...Armenia. The Persian, the Egyptians, the Zulu, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Mayans, the Aztec. All of these cultures (countries) subjugated people and made them objects for exploitation. Yes, England colonized long before Elizabeth. She, her father, and her grandfather colonized no one. In places like Kenya, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and the United States the English trained the locals to help them self-govern. Notice how easily all those countries took to being "freed" from being colonies. England trained those leaders to be leaders. I forgot India. Gandhi was an English trained lawyer before he returned to India to lead a freedom movement. England ended slavery with a vote of Parlaiment long before we decided to follow. The only real black mark in the modern day is Ireland. Very close, very violent, and very personal, Ireland was a problem and there is still hostility.
And the royals and england has the audacity to judge us? Fuck that! The monarchy of britain should be totally disbanded and their assets seized and given back to the rightful heirs. I have zero fucks given to monarchies.
Ohh theyre kept around for status symbols? Yeah symbols of inbredding, hate , cruelty, racism and zero cares for the commoner! hypocrites Originally Posted by winn dixie
