The Prince of Wales

[Fragony]

Hey frag... a man who can't have a decent ammount honor his own leader, no matter what they did as "wrong things" can't become a good leader themself.... and yet.... ashaming your own royal family is a symbol of disloyalty..... Poor Royal family... not everyone understands them... and many depises them...

Damn straight I despise them, royalty has no place in a modern society.

That's funny. We're thoroughly modern in Holland. The Brits are thoroughly modern, too. So are the Danes, the Spaniards. Yet they all have figurehead kings and queens, with the wholehearted support of their populations.

What does it mean, eh? It means quite simply that these figureheads are popular precisely because they're not modern. Ha! And since we're on about it, does Bach have a place in modern society? Does Jesus? King Arthur?

Could it be, dear Fragony, that people are not overly enthusiastic about your modern society?

If they were, how would they vote away the queen?

If they were, how would they vote away the queen?

Two-thirds majority, change the constitution, bye bye Beatrix & Co.

I stand corrected. Would be interesting to know how many people support the royals.

How about 85%. It's been a constant for decades, maybe a hundred years.

BTW this is why republican movements never succeed in convincing people.



"The royals are outdated."

"Yup!"

"I mean, I know they're symbols..."

"Uh-huh."

"... Even so, it's the symbol of inequality, inherited wealth, everything obsolete."

"Yup!"

"Whatcha mean, 'yup'"?

"That's why we like them."

"But that's not rational!"

"Nope."

"So?"

'So what?"

[miotas]

Are there any Danes here? How are you fellas treating our Mary?
