Did you take the time to watch the documentary I linked to? Oh, that's right, you didn't because that would mean you would have to acknowledge the fact I'm the one backing my opinions with facts here. Also, is your problem with me blowing the propaganda issue out of proportion or do you just happen to be closet-royalist? I have challenged those royal thralls on the moral standing of their idols and they are UNABLE to refute me. If you think it's a worthy cause to act as their apologist and drag them out of their humiliating position, you should at least come clean about your true feelings towards "nobility".

Being against the existence of the British Royal Family is fine enough and the republican arguments have some merit to them - but if you sit there going on about peasantry, bowing down, cow-towing, idols, etc. then you are not going to be taken seriously.

I said "indefensible position". Keep trying to hide behind your finger, you have no arguments.

I have a fuck load of arguments, loads and loads and loads. You don't have any valid arguments, just insults, you're not even prepared to enter into a debate on the subject because you know you've got no argument to make. Just irrational fear / hate.

This is the kind of reasoning you're using

Does that make you a little ashamed?

Like 99.9% of Americans I would take up arms if someone tried to install a monarch in the US. But that doesn't mean I'm going to ally myself with someone irrational and childish (you).

BY ALL MEANS THEN, do make an argument. I would be delighted to see your moral justifications for hanging on to the discriminatory and racist institution of "nobility". Did you check out the documentary or you just don't know what "irrational" means?

You have already been caught once in here commenting on opinions of mine you haven't bothered to read through. I am not gonna beg you to watch the documentary too so I can prove my rationality to you. My facts have been laid, you prefer to ignore them.

If you were civil I'd try and converse with you, but time and time again you come back with petty childish insults. You've got nothing, you know it. I'd debate with you but as I've said before "Can you do it without insults?" Can you have an adult conversation with me on this subject?

Also I just watched the "documentary" you posted, which was a video of someone being arrested for conspiring to cause a problem at the wedding, and trespassing. What's the issue here?

*giggles*
How many times do you people have to be caught not paying attention to the discussion to feel any shame?

I know P&N is the place for angry people but come on, considering american history against monarchy, it's disheartening to see people, who are otherwise not supportive of this disgracefull institution, unwilling to put their personal feuds aside for a moment and unite to give the royalists in here the flak they deserve.

I know, but you have to understand InfoHawk's motivation. He isn't a typical American, he is more of a white supremacist type who thinks that the concept of a pure royal bloodline is acceptable and interesting. Moreover, he favors the religious discriminatory aspects of the monarchy.

The guy is truly disturbed. He won't even denounce pedophilia.

The Royalists haven't really put up any facts.

The Royalists say "the monarchy increases UK tourism money!" without providing a shred of evidence. On the contrary, the royal residences barely generate any tourism revenue compared to other tourist spots.

The Royalists say that they've seen the royal collection, that it's all available to the public. No, the reality is that they haven't, only about 2% of it is even available to the public.

The Royalists don't even address the religious and gender discrimination aspects of their Monarchy.

The Royalists just like the tradition, despite how absolutely disgusting this tradition is in a modern society.

I cannot think of any event in modern history that I cared less about, and that was less important, than the "Royal" wedding...

I have no obligation to watch a video you post. Get over yourself.

But I have read your shitty arguments and you use fallacies like attacking the motives. You aren't even man enough to admit that you do.

Are you Greek? Why are you so butthurt about the British monarchy? Did Greece get smacked down by the British at some point?

I'm not fan of monarchies but I feel a little sorry for all these rabid haters. Their national identity is obviously traumatized in some way. We Americans had a pretty serious revolutionary war with the British. But you know what? We got over it. Maybe because we won and all these other people didn't?

LOL, you always rely on bizarre ethnicity-based attacks in your rabid defense of the British Empire. I suppose it's easy to do since almost every region of the world has suffered under their brutality. But, we can turn your bizarre attacks around and say that you're defending it because of racial reasons, too.

I also question your statement on how we (USA) won but all these other people didn't. They did win. The British Empire consistently lost all over the world when it was losing its colonies. It is likely the most defeated country in history.

Are you next going to say that Jews hate the Nazis because their identity was traumatized in some way or that they were "smacked down," too?

Are you saying you think I'm descended from British people by the way? I'm curious what proof you have for that?

Why can't we put this thread to bed, they got married and now after endless hype its over.

As I say, let future royal wedding news coverage return to the folks who do it best, namely tabloid journalists that are best ignored.

Oh! Yeah I'm not watching an 80's documentary on the Greek civil war to discuss the pro's and con's of the English royal family.

Because you are afraid of the documentation it provides for the royalist collaboration with the fascist scum of this earth. Stay with your backwards delusions about some "noble" parasites' wankish "Divine Right" to privilege, you royalist hackney.

Until this orgy of publicity over this wedding occured I was expecting it to develop somewhere along those lines too. Hell, here in Greece we had huge publicity recently over the heir apparent's wedding (and we're talking about a royal family supposedly ousted 40 years ago). With this wedding in England the royal family in Greece have goten a boost and there has been discussion for the establishment of a royal party headed by the dethroned king! You may think this is all just a nuisance but to me it seems complacence is feeding those zombies' ambitions for a total comeback in power.

I love your brain, it's most amusing. I think I'll just watch this thread for a while now. Hahaha, Greek Civil war = English Monarchy.
