That video conveniently neglects to mention a number of things. Most importantly, that George III transferred all of the Crown Estates to the Treasury (not just the revenues) along with the responsibility of paying for the government, in exchange for the Civil List payments (now the Sovereign Grant). The Crown Estates…

No, it doesn’t.

I can be mad at the Tories and still have the correct opinion that the royals cost us more than they put in.

Nope. The number of tourists who would not come to the UK if there were not present-day royals in no way outweighs the cost of their upkeep.

The tourists would come whether we had royals living in the buildings or not (and we’d be able to keep them open all year round). Versailles and Neuschwanstein don’t suffer from a lack of present-day royals. The royals are a financial drain on the UK.

Thank you, my gateway was definitely my wife and daughters along with the Jezebel community. It’s not that I didn’t care about women before that, I just didn’t know how much I didn’t know.

Isn’t this sort of criticism a bit much, I mean, it’s really counter productive. News flash—people generally become more empathetic to causes that are foreign to them when they stop being foreign and become personal.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy too unless they were enlightened from Day One.

I wish everyone supported women because its the right thing to do, but the truth is that most of them just don’t. They need a personal tie to know its important. But if that changes their perspective about supporting ALL women?I’ll take it. Better late than never- your daughters can be the gateway to feminism and I…

Whiting said, as quoted by Autosport, that Hulkenberg actually had more room inside of the car after the crash with the halo over it...

Wow I’m so glad that you needed to let us all know that you are a feminist and you don’t support sex work. Cool thanks we all definitely needed to know that. I’m sure Ms. Holloway will carefully consider your garbage opinion. 

Was she right, though? A picture of Franken basically pranking someone is nothing even remotely close to what other men, including our president, have done. Sorry, but Franken shouldn’t have resigned.

I mean, democracy had already existed in ancient Greece and Rome, plus most of the Germanic tribes that migrated to what was then Roman-held Brittanica and later became medieval England had democratic functions in the 300s and 400s, sooooo yeah those guys were well aware of the concept of voting. They just said "nah,…

There is no humanizing PR campaign that can ever erase the fact that that people and their ancestors spent centuries living high on the public dime and sitting on a throne all because they sincerely believe they’re “ordained by God” to be a selfish asshole. Sure, they do charity work and public events these days…

Says “PimpHandOfBlackStarTrekCharacter”?

Treehouse of Horror didn’t start until the second season of The Simpsons, and that’s why this is not their 30th. Their 666th episode is next season.

“awakening the beautiful woman with true love’s kiss” becomes a repeated cultural trope, as it has, that absolutely promotes and normalizes sexual assault.

Don’t think she was talking about tossing it out, but just breaking down till it isn’t interesting and just makes everyone feel shitty.
