Yes....'science'..... :whistling:

Really? Huh, all this time I thought that's what tea was for.

The bitterness helps the bile flow.

and in the United States too :shakehead:

as an American I have a very hard time seeing the justification of the royal family's existence. English people tell me that it's like the British Version of the obsession with actors. I don't know how the Monarchy functions within the British Government, but all I have to say is that I would never, ever pay a dime in taxes to those spoiled, posh aristocrats, and I sincerely hope that no English citizen is forced to do the same because that to me is just sad and manipulative. As far as I can tell they serve absolutely no function in Britain other than to be an icon. They're whole lives revolve around being posh and pampered and don't seem to actually have any authority or usefulness in the furthering of Britain's standard of living.

again, I know nothing about the modern day British Royalty so for all I know they may be the most useful members of society, but from the little I've seen I'm not impressed or at all endeared by them.

and yes, I am aware of my own hypocrisy, I know these same arguments could be made about American actors and even a few politicians, there's no doubt about that and I won't deny, which is why I don't tend to pay too much attention to Hollywood either

Who else but Columbia, the female personification of the United States, could bestow upon Captain America his blessed shield?

Oh, is that like Britannia, with her sheep and trident?

Yes.

One caveat though, Columbia doesn't have a consistent set of clothing or items.

Oy! You have to pay attention:
Also,
No they're not.

oh hmm, well, I can see the purpose of that. So how does the Royal Family stay so wealthy? do they have a huge fortune, I'd imagine somebody in the family has a business going. I know Prince William is in the British Air Force, how much he actually does I don't know though.

PETA (people eating tasty animals ) called him out on that which i found ridiculous.

I think I'd rather eat my own vomit.

He murdered an innocent fly!!! :stare:

Something that can't be guilty can't be innocent.

(I know you were sarcastic, I was just saying generally to the handful of ridiculous people who seriously think that way.)

I see, so they're a real-estate company, and a big one it seems. That's good, again though, speaking from general suspicion of any kind of powerful entity. It's all something I don't really care much from.

even youtube has fallen for it :banghead:

They've had that channel for years...

Wait, is that the main page?

"YouTube - TheRoyalChannel's Channel"


Facepalm's facepalm.

I live in America, so I don't really care about it. I have one friend who is obsessed about it though, almost to the level that she is complete stalkerish. Funny thing is, I broke out the slang I picked up from some forum friends and she didn't pick up on any of it.

sort of. if you go to the actual main page, on the top left hand corner you have the youtube sign with a bride and groom standing together. click on that and it takes you to what i linked.

I'm excited about it over them breaking certain traditions :celebration:

I hope they kiss on camera waaay before they get into the church

I feel it would be disrespectful to all of the people who devoted their lives to fighting monarchy.

lmfao

Not gonna lie. I'm always up until like 5am anyways, so I will probably watch this wedding just to satiate my curiosity.
