I don't mind Philip myself, he is quite funny (15, 16 & 21 - 48 of Prince Philip's greatest gaffes and funny moments ). Some of the Royals I quite like (William in particular) but I am no Royalist and wouldn't really care if the monarchy was abolished.

i hate the royal family because for some reason they still play a role here in canada. and by role i mean they do nothing, show their face once a year or two, and yet we still act like they're important.

I want Prince Philip as an uncle, tbh.

The Batlord 05-04-2017 12:59 PM

But you can't say "Uncle Philip" without sounding like a poncey, entitled, English tween. Nobody wants that.

From an Irish point of view, we hate the idea of a monarchy because a) it reminds us we were once subjects of the British Empire and b) they're a total tax drain on the public, an archaic institution that has long had its day. They have no power, can do nothing without the approval of Parliament, and still get paid huge sums of money and own land that could be used for things like social housing or projects if they weren't kicking around on it.

Also, he in particular is just typical of the English noble class: entitled, annoying and very condescending from the little I've seen of him.

Anti-vaccine activists spark a state’s worst measles outbreak in decades - The Washington Post
https://apple.news/A19KAHV0pSEijuK7DG_qXfg

Quote:

“I thought: ‘I’m in America. I thought I’m in a safe place and my kids will never get sick in that disease,’*” said Salah, 26, who has lived in Minnesota for more than a decade. Growing up in Somalia, she’d had measles as a child. A sister died of the disease at age 3.
lol

So this stupid bitch thought her passport came with immunity? Hey Saleh, there's no magic. It's the shots. That's why everyone takes them. Leave your ****ing Voodoo Witchcraft bull**** in Somalia or don't come. She should do time for child neglect. You can take the girl out of Somalia but you can't take the Somalia out of the girl. The disease killed her own sister and she still wouldn't vaccinate her children. Vaccine good. Measles bad. OK Saleh?

It's not her fault if the massive anti-disease shield surrounding America happened to be down that day! :rolleyes:

I'm right with you on this one, Hawk, ie I have a brain. That is one of the most stupid things I have ever heard a human say. I mean, if we're talking ebola or Nigerian Dancing Bat Leg Fever or something, sure, but ****ing measles??? Idiot.

That's pretty much like sickle cell. For some reason, white people don't have a problem with it.

Mitigating, James Sturman QC said his client’s dreams of becoming a surgeon were “almost impossible” as her conviction would have to be disclosed. She had had a very troubled life and was abused by a previous boyfriend, he said.

Mate she was abused by a previous boyfriend so she gets one stab free of charge.

Pet_Sounds 05-16-2017 04:04 PM

Or maybe she was practising up to be a surgeon.

Good to see one of these cases end with ramifications. The violent ones make the sensible protesters look like shit (not that the reasons for protesting him are valid, but that's a different story).

Arrested Development renewed for a fifth season

I'm excited. While it was a step down from the show's heyday for sure, season four was great. I bet Netflix's budget will be higher on this season as well and maybe they can film all of the characters at once this time.
