I never claimed the monarch was needed for protection. In the UK, "The Crown" also refers to state, for instance in a court case "John Doe" decides to sue the country which would be refered to as "The Crown"

"I do of course, also support the responsibilities of the people to the crown. Society is an agreement. You obey the laws, work your hardest and be generally a good person, and you get supported in hard times, protection etc in return"

Could you clarify this?
Also for future reference best not to use "The Crown" and state interchangeably as it may get a little confusing[quote=darkwolf687]
As for what the House of Windsor has done (Originally under a different name, of course) It has voluntarily surrendered more and more powers when called for by the people, appointed governors for territories (colonial peroid, though this task was of course shared with parliament) appointed governor generals, intervened in diplomatic processes where need be, been a symbol for the British people, visited the soldiers on the lines (World Wars, paticularly King George in WW2) participated in the creation of the UN (George again, his contributions were small. admitedly) Voluntered to storm the beaches on Normandy (George again, stopped by Churchill, both wanted to go. Some say that George actually volunteered to invoke a "If your going I'm going" sort of thing to stop Churchill going.) Served in the military (a variety of members), participated in charity work, headed the Commonwealth of Nations, trimmed a couple of quid off my taxes, made the UK a fair bit of coin. And generally, they've been dutiful.They've been good to the country, and the country has been good for them.

That all sounds like it was done because of the pressure from the public or to boost moral of the common man at war. And as good as some of these things may be why should we keep them around? After all we could have done all of that without their help

As for that George fellow he sounds like a fool. A brave fool, I will give him that but a fool nonetheless.[quote=darkwolf687]
As for an inheritance tax, are you proposing to only tax the rich? If only! The rich wont even accept a tax on their houses for lords sake, good luck putting in an inheritance tax; Which doesnt really fix the problen at all and people will just circumvent...

Who ever said we get the riches permission? Theres such a thing as "Revolution" you know

And honestly? Luck plays a massive part in our lives. Some people will be lucky, some wont. That'll never change. There will always be the advantaged, there will always be those who were born undeserving of it but rich, born deserving but poor.

That doesn't mean we should not or cant level the playing field

I'm sorry if this upsets you DarkWolf but I don't support the European Union and believe that several countries to separate from it
[/quote]

Would you like to expand on this?[quote=darkwolf687]
Sadly, this.I'm in favour of a European super state, though. If the EU were to pull their bloody act together...
