Schnaps! I forgot aboot tis thread! I must say those of you who have posted in the last few hours have a odd combination of beliefsI cant help but imagine you in a top hat...Is that not what police are for? And what did the Monarch have to work for to gain her position? Nothing but climb out of te wombAs for my opinion on Patriotism, I believe there is nothing inherently wrong aboot it but is used by todays Media to cloud the minds of the people and turn us against our foreign comrades, which at that point is just pure JingoismNot very "Revolutionary" of you!

I would very much love to wear a top hate, but being working class is pretty much mutually exclusive. One day, perhaps, and when I get there I will most definitely buy a top hat in celebration.

As for the police, of course. Thats what they are there for, to ensure you do not break the social contract you sign by living in the country, and to help uphold the Crowns end of the agreement

As for the monarch, well, what have the children of the rich, or even the children of the first world, done but pop out of the right vagina? Lets not pretend that the children of the rich arent in a position of power and advantage by luck alone, and that the children of the first world arent at an advantage by luck alone. Luck, I suppose, played a part to be born with this specific genetic pattern, decided by factors outside out control, in a place outside our control, to people and circumstances outside our control. Some are more lucky than others.
As long as we are allowed to inherit the property of our parents, and share their successes, then it would be a double standard and hypocritical to stop the monarchy claiming whats left to them based on a "You did nothing but pop out the right vagina" argument.
Besides, the British Royal Fanily have done a lot for my country since they first took the throne centuries ago. The House of Windsor has won my respect for what they've done.
