F*** the Jubilee

Re: F*** the Jubliee

I'm sorry, but to me it does seem a strange system. To have a head of state chosen on the basis they are the senior representive of the non-Catholic side of a family descended from generations of tyrants and mega criminals.

I'm sure the Queen is a very nice lady. I could name a dozen very nice ladies of her age, but they aren't head of state and billionairesses on the basis of their ancestry.

No one will ever persuade me it makes sense. In the Middle Ages, maybe. In the 17th Century, well just, perhaps maybe. Now - no. It's like picking a City Manager on the basis they're descended from the Connells. Or having an hereditary dentist to see to your teeth.

Fuck off Wayne.

If it was Wayne he would have said a few hundred dozen.

Just done my bit. Knocked one out to Will's fit missus whilst wearing a plastic union jack bowler hat and had some jelly and ice cream.

Re: F*** the Jubliee

What?
The behavoiur of this particular family towards their Daughter-in-law is no different to the behaviour of millions of families in the UK no the world towards their Daughter/Son/sister/brother blah blah in-law. If you dislike someone in your extended family then the cast is set.Charles didn't love or fell out off love with her. It never ends well this type of thing though the ending of this one was unfortunate and extreme though could hardly be put down too the Royal Family.

Used, chewed up and spit out by the oddest family since the Addams family. The shit she endured went on for years while charlie went off talking to trees. Don`t rewrite history, it happened.

Read what I wrote!
I never once said she wasn't on the receiving end I said it goes on everywhere and Diana wasn't an exception to the rule. The ending turned out bad though I still don't see how the Royals manifested the final outcome.

There were particular issues with Charles and Diana that don't apply in other situations though.

Charles always wanted to marry Camilla, but by that point she was divorced.

This is partly guesswork, but a marriage to Camilla at that point could have hurt the Queen Mother given the history with Wallis Simpson and her brother in law.

It seems significant to me that the wedding occurred after the Queen Mother had died.<br /><br />-- Mon Jun 04, 2012 4:58 pm --<br /><br />

Re: F*** the Jubliee

You're right in one respect. I ought to know better by now that posting opinions on subjects like this will attract snide, jeering comments from people like you.

I'm right in several respects;

i) You have no idea what you are on about when you reference evolution in this thread.
ii) You do need help.
iii) I will jeer your comments when they are idiotic.

Re: F*** the Jubliee

Why do some royalists use this Non Sequitur argument. Against a monarchy = must want a Stalinist dictatorship.

I've got nothing against the royals as people, I just don't understand how people can bow down, hand over their money and doff their caps in this day and age to a hereditary family that rule the roost not because they earned it but were given it because they were born into a certain family.

In any case, for the royalists I hope you had a good day with your parties or whatever.

I can't believe you've put that interpretation on my post and I don't know where to start with a reply.

You wrote - 'Our constitution isn't broken. Would you prefer a stalinist dictatorship or Syrian style government?'

To which Argyle replied - 'Why do some royalists use this Non Sequitur argument? Against a monarchy = must want a Stalinist dictatorship.'

That is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of your comment.

Whereas earlier TCIB simply mentioned the word 'mankind' to which you bizarrely brought evolution into the equasion to the bafflement of all.

You are in no position to be disbelieving of interpretations and quite frankly I don't think your brain is connected in a conventional manner.

I'll take that as a complement.

The equals sign for starters is dangerous.

9 * 7 = 63 although I'm sure there are people who would argue otherwise.

By contrast, "Against a monarchy = must want a Stalinist dictatorship.'" is not true or logical at all.

Perhaps we should construct a scientific experiment to test that theory.

I simply wanted to illustrate the historical point from the past and present that actually the United Kingdom isn't a bad place to live, then or now.

We could have a different debate about any country in the world, but in my personal opinion I wouldn't swap our form of democracy or government for anywhere else.

Bringing the word "mankind" into a debate about the diamond jubilee shows how far off topic this thread has gone at times and seems more bizarre to me.

I always go down to the lowest common denominator I can find and I've seen evolution in action which also includes societal aspects.

This is a random example of society in action from the tree of life: -

Perhaps we could argue about the meaning of society as well as mankind.

I have to retract my previous comments about what a wonderful occasion this weekend is proving to be, having now realised that Lenny Henry is involved in tonight's concert.
