Actually it was one of the finest educations money can buy. Good English private schools followed by an Oxbridge degree. Hell, my shoes probably cost more than your education!Cougar wrote:

1) Limey isn't a adjective. You cannot describe someone as being a "limey Brit". Limey refers to the discovery by British sailors that consuming vitamin C prevented Scurvy, a discovery and nickname I'm proud of.Cougar wrote:
Yeah, so umm. Now that you limey Brits have a parliment and a Prime Minister, what's the point in a Queen/King/Prince(s) etc? What do they do besides look old and pompous? I mean, if there is some secret job that you can get that makes it where you can just sit around all day and eat crumpets and tea and get paid ridicules amounts of money and the worship of your "subjects" for doing, then I would like to send my resume to the hiring company in charge.
In every photo of royalty they are doing the same five things (with captions). Ohh and all photo's of royalty come with 50% more old than the standard photo of a human:
Sitting on their asses.

Are the crumpets ok? Did the fish and chips get squashed? Ohh, there was something else..the other thing....umm..ohh yeah is the Princess OK? No? Ohh well, she was a commoner anyways. Report the news to ze Queen.
2) In terms of jobs, you may wanna look inward. Go to India and then you'll see how easy US workers get it. I was talking to an American recently who told me how in the States scores of people are being paid to do office jobs that involve soing nothing when they get to work but play with Email (bit rich seeing as I am skiving to write this but the US is the worse apparently).
3) The Queen has to rubberstamp any legislation that passes. Of course she always does, but it is fail safe to stop the Government going mental - just like you and your "guns".
4) The Queen is also head of State of over 50 countries and can dissolve any of their parliaments (effectively sacking the PM), again she never does but again it's a fail safe.
5) Related to point 4, without the Royal Family we wouldn't have a commonwealth and the countries in it would lose all the benefits.

6) Without them, we wouldn't get half as many Yanks coming as tourists as in general the Americans love our royal family more than we do.

Sorry, so what was the point of this thread other than to bring up some stereotypes about the Brits, and then the inevitable flame war between the Yanks and the Brits?
I think explains it, she's there to take your money through tourism and get back all the taxes you illegally avoided over the past 300 years since your "revolution". She's making 2 billion a year from you suckers at the moment, not bad!

Illegally avoided? I'm sorry, usually when you kick the shit out of a country TWICE, you normally don't continue to pay them money.=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:

Enough already? The debate is one sided, because the OP seems to only flame back.
I need around tree fiddy.
You made your point quite clearly Cougar. Thank you.
Most Brits don't give 2 shits about that fat ass, posh, frail, tax stealing little bitch.
If you want an answer; go ask our prime minister. I am sure it will be one in another 3million emails he received about
"Should we kill/decapitate/get rid of the queen?"
She is a tourist attraction. A boring one at that; but then explain how thousands of Americans go to see her every year. She may be a fucking bitch with no purpose, but you Americans sure do like her.
End of discussion. If you think royalty in Britain is worth it, don't PM/Email/Xfire me, I wont listen and I don't care.
