Billybob Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Well, some of you guys really get your gaydar going when the Royals get mentioned, huh? What's up with that? So I got a serious question about them. Somebody here knows. So this family of royals goes back hundreds of years, right? I assume that at one time they were actually the rulers of a monarchy, which is really just a nicer word for a dictatorship. At some point, they must have been overthrown - like a rebellion or something - true? So, the government changed hands, now it's a democracy, the elected Prime Minister runs the show, but the Royal family carries on? Isn't that strange? Usually a deposed dictator is exiled or worse, right? These people carry on in there strange little world, presumably adored by the populace, but with really no power, but tons of riches. How did all this go down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack Tidings Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Truly, their wealth was all stolen...they should kick the whole royal family to the curb and turn Buckingham palace into a Cumberland Farms or maybe a nice new octagon.

How did all this go down? Ill be nice, contrite, and sincere, but I must ask, and I want to know. Do you really not know? Or are you joking? Are you a US citizen? Did you go to government schools, and for how long? Asked in true sincerity. “My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose.” Ayn Rand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
