Aaaaaaaaand it's rocking. The Royal Family. On the BBC.

Two great British institutions showing the world how it's done. Boris Johnson is a mental.

You know that a country is irrelevant when an inbred family is one of that country's 'great institutions.'

As little as I care, I'd rather this be on 24/7 than Anna Nicole or O'Donnel vs Trump or "Limbaugh vs Mahr in THE BIGGEST SHIT EVARRR!!!" which typifies American network "news" nowadays.

I have both, I'm just stating facts.

No, you have very low self esteem if you subject yourself to these 'royals.'

Sheesh, I saw a video of some scenes from this ridiculous wedding and these British inbreds look absolutely ridiculous with their uniforms. Thank god the younger brother didn't wear his Nazi uniform to the wedding.

Nope, we're neither royalty nor commoners.

So you aren't "anyone who enjoyed common rights."?

or

commoner - a person who holds no title
- Princeton

Let me put it this way, if you enjoy common rights, and are governed by common law (which you are) and are not of noble birth You are a commoner. If you aren't you are a royal. Which is it?

Interesting fact for you Americans, the only building in the country that the royal family cannot legally enter are the houses of commons, because they are not commoners.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

I'm not playing your games, you are a commoner, because you live in a land that has royalty and commoners. I, living in America, am neither, I'm a free man. I have a lot of rights, some are common rights, others are individual rights.

Lol. Disregard the English language if you like but you are a commoner by definition as you are subject to common law.

Common law legal systems are in widespread use, particularly in England where it originated in the Middle Ages,[4] and in nations or regions that trace their legal heritage to England as former colonies of the British Empire, including the United States - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law

You are out of it. Just because England has royalty and commoners, doesn't mean the rest of the world is divided along the same lines.

Also, a countries legal system has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a commoner.

We have royalty and commoners, you have only commoners. Being a commoner means you are not royal. You are not royal, thus you are a commoner. It applies to everyone. By definition.

You're a commoner.



Fact

No, I'm not a commoner because I'm not a British person who subjects himself to an inbred.

British people who accept the royalty have self esteem issues. Fact.

In the US, everyone is equal. There are no caste divisions like British society. As such, there are no commoners or royals. We're just people.

Also, you clearly don't know much about the US legal system. We're a common law based system, but we don't fully follow your bizarro caste system legal system.

Moreover, are you saying that the royalty isn't subject to common law? Aren't you the person who said that the British Monarch and inbred family doesn't enjoy additional powers or rights?

Yeah, most of the world has abandoned their peasant-monarch caste system. The British are still behind most third world countries in this regard.

Of course the monarchy aren't subject to common law. They aren't commoners.

com·mon·er (km-nr)
n.
1. One of the common people.
2. A person without noble rank or title.

"British person" not found, you are a commoner. You don't like that? Tough. it is a fact.

Maybe, at some future time, the British people will finally end their figurehead Royal Family. Sell off its assets, and put it into the British treasury.

But in terms of making British national policy, the figurehead and largely ceremonial British Monarchy is nothing but a anachronism and has been for at least a century and a half.

But the point is and remains, those that are not British citizens have no damn right to tell England how to conduct their internal affairs regarding their retention or non-retention of the trappings of Royalty.

Don't be ridiculous. People have the right to refer to events and issues outside of their own countries. Those who are not British citizens can comment and criticize the British on this horrendous institution.
