Random Facts XXII

Wow, I've only ever heard one single person from the UK say that. He was a crabby old Scot and he didn't nearly say it as kindly as you did.


I was actually going to say something similar but I was afraid of an angry UK backlash. It's happened before

Was glad to hear someone else say it for a change.

 

Sorry, but I have bigger aspirations than sitting on my ass all day and having people grovel over my deadbeat ass.

 

I just don't like it all. It was in the papers a few weeks ago that Prince William wanted to live a more 'normal' life, so the public had to fund extra security so that he could live in a certain house.

They can be as Royal as they like, as long as everyone else doesn't have to pay for it.

 

Hmmph, I certainly am not too proud to welcome a crowd of grovelers.

 

You should just put them all in a big glass cage and have webcams on them all the time.

 

When we had the Millennium Dome empty for years, it was suggested that we out the Royal Family in there. Would have solved a lot of problems!

 

I have been distinctly snippy with my spirit guide Deanna today.

 

Capitalist system is captive breeding program designed to produce citizens who serve the system.

Random fact, I forgive debt which most claim is not in my interest but freedom from debt is a measure of freedom.

 

Yea, that's pretty selfish and very stupid. He's got lots of money, he should pay for his own damn security.

I don't like the morality behind it. This "royal" totalitarian family comprised of people who are in some unknown way better than others just because they were born into it.

I know that sort of thing happens all over the world, for example the Rockefellers in the US, but at least they're discreet about it.

Are there many people there that feel the same as you about the royal family?

 

Does that mean your not going to pitch in to help pay for his wedding... I think they should just elope...

 

Exactly, they are still people, a title doesn't mean they are anything better. As people they are lovely, I don't really have anything against them as such.

I think a fair few do although, usually, the older generation seem to like it more. My mum has always been interested in it, she loves the whole idea of it. But, with the wedding - since they announced it there have been the same programmes about them on everyday, the news has 45mins just for them, with all other news pushed back. I can't wait for when he becomes King - it'll be like there will is nothing else happening in the world.

I think America are going to pay for this one..

 

lol

You think that's bad, you should try watching American news. It's nothing but serious, hardcore fear mongering 24/7.

 

Financial or spiritual? I'm currently struggling with the spiritual kind of forgiveness.

 

They served a useful purpose in feudal times, when weapons were primitive and raids and petty wars were widespread and frequent. Now they're kinda like a vestigial limb.

 

Fear sells products.

 

I was hoping the other closed thread would get pushed off the page before this one hits 1000

you people should post more in the other ones :toetap05:

 

Can we have conversations in the other ones?

 

Oh, that reminds me...it's almost 4:20...

 

Thanks for reminding me Zen :2thumbsup:

 

I've actually done a lot today - the house looks amazing, I cooked and baked and made a lot of new bracelets and bits. And, I found my old colour changing candle which made me happy.
