Ah the replies to you are cracking me up. Basically the same arguments used by useless trash people throughout history. “It’s a different culture, you don’t understand what it means to us.”

in regards to your repeated usage here of “pedantic”:

says the guy attempting (and failing) to be pedantic. hehehe

“As close to even as it could be” would be six and six. Twelve is an even number.

“So would you say 50.00000000000001% is mostly?”

William, Kate and Harry also went to Grenfell. Charles and Camilla were meeting Norwegian royalty in Orkney. Sophie Wessex was at a service for the London Bridge murders.

100%-42%=58% men, not 50+1. 58% is indeed by definition “most”, because it is larger than 42%.

One of the benefits of a constitutional monarchy is having an almost apolitical focus for patriotism which is difficult for an itinerant politician to hijack. Think of how Comey’s FBI oath was of loyalty to the Constitution, rather than to a person. The UK has no formal constitution so we use a figurehead (whichever

Um, yeah. Let’s not move too quickly here. Honestly, with the Trumpeteers running wild over here, a Constitutional Monarchy is starting to look pretty good!

“...who are at their happiest when perched far, far away from the heaving, slack-jawed masses.”

Yeah, I mean, America has it so much better being modern and all.

Oh - you mean we don’t right now ...?

Republicans...

Seeing there are large areas of London in protest at the moment, “subdued” is key right now. Her birthday announcement was considered “unprecedented” in its sombre note thanks to Manchester and London’s terrorist attacks and the latest shitfuck with Grenfell.

Bearskins should be illegal.

And then when disaster strikes, as it did this week, we’d only have venal politicians as our state figureheads.

I’m starting to think evil is a preservative.

No, the worst people, even though they look unhealthy, always end up outliving the nice people. See Trump for proof. Fat, high stress, spends all his time raging, yet he still hasn’t had a heart attack.

Looks like death... in public.

I had a conservative friend tell me that she doesn’t like it when either side dehumanizes the other side. I agreed, and I held my tongue on the response that I can think of far more examples of that coming from her side than mine. I think maintaining a discourse that acknowledges shared humanity is a good thing.
