The majority of the world's population views the monarchy and everyone associated with it, past and present, as murderers and colonisers.
it’s inappropriate at worst imo
I think most people would have reasonably assumed this was your view, but thanks for confirming it.
Based on what? Genuine question.
There are many relics of the past like inheritance. I propose no one should inherit anything from their parents, it should all go to the govt.
Well, we showed the way to do that. Good luck
Of a sovereign state
To whom? Your cousins and uncles. Sure showed them.Well, we showed the way to do that. Good luck
I want a British republic, but you have to admit her personal popularity meant that most felt unable to criticise her. Anyway, it is likely the other realms where Charles is Head of State will move to republics over the coming years.
Governments had the power during Empire and colonisation - governments today have immense power, and create suffering in a lot of countries around the world today. Do we get rid of the government? Not really seeing the difference aside from the royal family has no power and the government still does.
Agreed, calling the ruler of a monarchy responsible for so much wrong one of the greatest people ever is very vile and crass.
Agreed.
A momentous moment is something that changes your life or that of the country. I don't think this applies in the passing of the monarch who will be succeeded by another.
It clearly is a momentous moment for the UK
He's not a loon. He's just Irish.
Why do people act like their elected representatives in Parliament had no significant hand in the acquiring and plunder and maintenance of Empire, and it all falls on the monarchy? (Not you just a general point)
Even with the white text.
Calm down, lad. You're massively over reacting. People joke about death all the time and there isn't uproar about it, it's actually considered a coping mechanism sometimes. The only thing that separates this from any other time is that you like her, that's all.
Um what.
New Funniest Poster? Someone better get to @rimaldo's house and hide his supply of cheese crackers and bleach.
But what will change? Someone else will do the speeches but nothing will change really. When our queen abdicated the throne and our current king became the king, the only thing that really changed is that queensday became kingsday and is on a different day now.
The government is elected by people and constantly changes. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. The monarchy is dumb as you are just born into it, as if this random group of pedos and racists are supposedly more important people than anyone else. The whole concept of it is archaic as if there is a hierarchy among people - which there isn't. They provide nothing but get to live their life with riches because they get given taxes from people who don't want to. It's nonsense and crazy that it exists in 1st world countries in the 21st century.
The only thing I'm coping with is the loss of a PL weekend.
He got a ban.
Sadly, as far as I know, I’m not related to King George III.
