I think the monkey is what I call a sleeper troll.
Just popped back to say this.
So you can't prove anything I have said isn't true and resort to name calling....I thought better of you void.

There is another nation that is well on the way surpassing Britain in all these things within in a much shorter timeframe. The whole world laughs at, and despises that nation for continually electing criminals and imbeciles to high office.

How narrow minded are you to sit here and defend a "royal" family, that isn't even British? Yes, yes, we get it. It's tradition (of what, exactly?), and they're all for show. Jolly good and all... until that kid grows up and asks "daddy, why do I have no real power". And at 21 decides he wants the power he thinks he deserves. And who's to stop him, I wonder? The disarmed Brits?
What the UK is doing by keeping their royalty on a leash is the same as keeping a rabid rottweiler as a pet. The old Queen is so loving and innocent (even though she owns what? 1/4 of the land in the world?). But the second this royalty (which sucks 30 sum million pounds a year from the population as parasitic as it is) decides it wants it's power back, who is going to stop them? Disarmed Brits?
I have no problem with the British other than them being so incredibly naive. You think that your Parliament is going to somehow protect you when the inbred German royalty want their power back? What, corruption doesn't exist in England? I bet the UK doesn't last 20 years without having to behead another King... history repeats itself.

This could well be the most ill informed post I have ever seen on this site, and that is no mean feat. If it was your intention to come off as a stereo-typical big mouthed, small brained American you have succeeded magnificently.

I like how you resort to name calling instead of actually explaining why you hold such opinion. Screams "you hit a nerve" to me.

Yeah the gun debate is just annoying haha
If the Royal Family wanted to take it's power back, I think they would do in a more modern way. I can't see the gallows being re-opened any time soon!
If the government however was to go all crazy on us and all Big Brother. I do not think the UK Armed Forces would like it. They serve QUEEN AND COUNTRY. Not our government.
At least I would like to think the Armed Forces would step in! I am not saying this would happen. Just my opinion.
