Great Britain: Republic or Monarchy?

I like the fact that a Greek claims his children will be British because they will be born here yet argues that the Queen is German. Ah the irony!

As for the equality issue I say GAH! There are plenty of people with inherited wealth and I don't ask for some of theirs. Bringing people down in life is the worst way to achieve equality IMO. So when we all sit in our government tenements waiting months for our government car we can look at the Windsors in the flat next door and be happy? GAH again.

Help, help, I'm being oppressed!

1- It proposes a formal unequality. 2- It proposes a real unequality when the royal family has to do nothing to survive while "lesser" beings have to look for a job. That alone is enough at least for me.

Whats that got to do with monarchy ?
Dont governments propose formal unequality ?

and as for the other point

Plenty of people dont have to work. So I see that this is an invalid point !

If you are trying to drag the rich man poor man thing into this thats a different discussion. Plenty of people have made money in one generation that then means future generations dont need to work. Thats capitalism.

Yes I know if you read my previous posts you'll see that I didn't say that Britain was a monarchy.

No it's not. Formally they're above all other man. The fact that they've the possibility to survive without even adding anything useful to society is secondary to my point primarily because that kind of parasite appears in every country in various forms, Maradona for example.

Exactly, I've seen a curious quote from one of the members that appears ironic really now that you said this...
