Do you even know what drama is. A heated argument in a discussion thread =/= drama. Try to be right next time you want to act above it all.

My family comes from Ireland, Scotland and Norway and I was born in Germany. But I would never consider myself to be any of these nationalities because I don't speak the languages, don't know the cultures well and I don't live there.

He's American, they don't have their own culture and have to borrow everyone else's.

Keep the royal family as some kind of novelty, but don't keep bloody calling them the head of state.
Swap them out for an appointed safeguard of the democratic system.

then do not post
If they are making us money, why get rid of them? It's not like they have any actual power. Even if they are gotten rid of, they will still be famous celebrities and the media will probably still shove them in your face just as much as before. All dethroning them would achieve is a loss of income.
Great Britain created the greatest superpower in the world

Actually that's not true.
First of all almost every nation in the world 'borrows' cultures. Mostly they're handed down from generation to generation through nations.
Americans just happen to have been made by many people suddenly traveling there and that actually makes them a very interesting people. They are mixed from many nations and many cultures.

Haha, American history is just as unique as anyone else's. I just wanted to say they aren't borrowing anything, and they are not boring :D
All cultures are interesting to study if you're into that sort of thing.
I'm American, we haven't been under British rule for over 200 years, and the royal wedding is hyped as fuck. The only reason I'd watch it is to get out of school tomorrow.
I watched the video and agree with it.
[QUOTE=st0rmforce;29498782]It's all fine in theory, but in reality it would be a big upheaval and probably wouldn't replace the monarchy with anything better. [b]We could be lucky and end up with something like the US[/b], some kind of highly democratic republic, but we might not.[/QUOTE]

Although I think british politics is an absolute joke as it is, I think stooping down to the level of US politics would be even worse.
Saw this video ages ago!
Well that's the end of that, thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Australia should have a royal family. That would be awesome...
Haha now you're all moving onto this thread :v:
There's one other organism which follows this trend

[QUOTE=amute;29496880]The country. The tax payer earns too, for the few pounds lost, they gain one or two more in the grand scheme of things. The country earns money off the Monarch.
I said a lot of tourism is attributed to the monarch, which it is. They use Metropolitan police, not west Wales police.[/QUOTE]
The prince of Wales has a house nearby, and apart from a few minor things he doesn't help at all, then whenever he comes to stay the police needs to search his house.

[QUOTE=Appox;29498057]They own the most land in the country and donate all of the profits back to the government. All of our royal families have done this, and they do so voluntarily. The money we make from this is many times greater than it costs to support to royal family.[/quote]
And would we make any less money if the government ran that land?
[quote]The tourism industry due to the monarchy generates billions, and dwarfs the profits gained from their land.[/quote]
We'd still have tourists coming to see our history.
[quote]The majority of people have a positive view about the royal family, even if they don't really care, no one actively hates them. They also generally do good acts like set up charities etc.[/QUOTE]
Why do the royals deserve any special treatment then, If few people care then what's the point in keeping them.
[editline]29th April 2011[/editline]
[QUOTE=Appox;29498571]No one in the UK sees them as oppressive, more like smiley people that set up charities, retain a sort of national identity, and every so often do something that allows everyone to have the day off work and have a party.[/QUOTE]
People who dislike them don't feel oppressed, just that they are a waste of time and money.
the country belongs to them so if people dont like it they will have to live with it on the Queens land.
[QUOTE=Lethaxx;29507889]the country belongs to them so if people dont like it they will have to live with it on the Queens land.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, the queen rules us all, and if we don't have tea with her every day through our rotten teeth we'll be beheaded by a guy with a huge axe and a mask.
why cant you stubborn people who think the royal family are a waste just take that pole out of your arse and accept the fact that most people want to keep the monarchy, if only for the pride that we still have one
stop waving your pompous dicks around like you think what's best
