Well the closest thing you have to royalty are the Kardashian's and others of that ilk, and they tend to fade away.Ryotknife said:I will go the NIS route and suggest The Devourlord (soul nomad reference).
Also it weirds me out just how much of my country (USA) is fascinated with the Brittish royal family considering that...you know....we arent BRITTISH. Anything related to those two is front page news over here.
Especially when it's such an ignorant argument, too.Wadders said:Oh lordy, already people are starting with the "Royalty are a waste of money and a drain on this country's resources" argument. Yawn.

Yup. Can't being exact figures to mind, but last time I checked (after having an argument about this very topic) it costs the British taxpayer less than £1 a year. Kinda deflates any argument to the contrary really.Binnsyboy said:Especially when it's such an ignorant argument, too.Wadders said:Oh lordy, already people are starting with the "Royalty are a waste of money and a drain on this country's resources" argument.

That's not even taking into account the Crown Estate (if they didn't own that land, it'd be owned privately and the country wouldn't benefit from the rent income), the fact they're much better ambassadors than a regular politician, and the role of neutrality the Queen fills in signing bills. A role that, since she's groomed for, she's better suited for than a politician who has some agenda to stay in the position for a few more years.Wadders said:Yup.

I sure hope you said this to everyone who essentially said the same thing I did.JoJo said:Sorry, I'm still trying to figure out why you posted in this thread.canadamus_prime said:Sorry, I'm still trying to figure out what part of this I'm supposed to care about.
Since the Royal family are little more than a tourist attraction, than there are probably a surprisingly large amount of people outside of the UK who care.Pinkamena said:Do you even think anyone outside the UK gives a shit?
Nah, I just making an example of you in particular, as your post was especially short. There's too many apathetic responses in this thread to tackle them all, even if I must fight on valiantly for Queen and Country :-Dcanadamus_prime said:I sure hope you said this to everyone who essentially said the same thing I did.JoJo said:Sorry, I'm still trying to figure out why you posted in this thread.canadamus_prime said:Sorry, I'm still trying to figure out what part of this I'm supposed to care about.
Heh, communism. Now THERE'S a political form that has genocide down.Mimsofthedawg said:Private message me though. I don't really want random trolls jumping in complaining, going off on a random tirade about how we're both wrong and the truth is Communism is the way to go.
