"A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England". OP is clearly not a History major, then; read up on "Glorious Revolution", "Wars of the Roses", and much more. "One specific bloodline" my right foot! The Monarchy has its advantages over here in the United Kingdom (we renamed it about 300 years ago, don't know if you noticed) - our Army/Navy/Air Force swear to obey The Monarch, not some vague ideal like 'The Constitution" or some politician like "The President"; the King has "the right to be consulted, the right to encourage , and the right to warn" so he can try to advise against the more crazy political manoeuvring; and, if things ever went beyond nuclear (such as a Government pushing through a law banning all opposition parties) he could refuse to give his consent. Then the law does not pass. Unlikely, but everyone knows it's a possibility if things ever got completely out of hand. Oh, and he's trained from birth to do the job.

As a republican here in the U.K. I’m comfortable with this concept. Wind down the monarchy. I’d even advocate a replacement that was a family who represented us at state shenanigans but they’d be chosen at random or by some ridiculous Takeshi’s Castle type game show,, or a remake of It’s a Knockout. Every twenty years or so we’d have something stupid and enjoyable to look forward to, not as serious as an Olympics or as pointless as Britain’s Got Talient but a unifying event that saw us all encouraging people in massive inflatable outfits to climb slippery slopes or swim in custard.

It's astounding to read how little people know about the function and benefits of a monarchy. A monarchy is cheaper than having a president every 4 years and they bring in business which the country benefits from. Also, for many people it's the only thing that connects them: do you want to have the kind of divided society that the USA has? Also, the post is historically incorrect. You have an opinion, that's okay, but please make sure that your facts are correct.

"One bloodline ruling..." I suggest you go look at some history books.

but it is not the same bloodline since Hasting. And the modern British Monarch system dates to Æthelred the Unready, a 1000 year anniversary we passed

So that way our bosses can afford thousands of meals, a years worth of rent and utilities, a clothing store and enough saving to buy a house!

since i want a couple of days off each week i need more than a days worth of money

"We Sadly Live In A Society"?

Not dying is a big one in my book.

You, and everyone else, are doing it because; A) You have no other choice, and B) No one has the courage to do anything about it.

Damn subtle kid (-;

BAHAHA

I love this kid

this is adorable

Birds do, well in my language at least. There are many birds whose names in Dutch are the sound they make: koekoek, oehoe, tjiftjaf, kievit, hop.

They do in their own language. To us it might sound like "a little bit of bread and no cheese" but to them, they are yelling "Look at me. I'm a chaffinch. Look at me".

"T*t mouse!"

My username is the nickname of my first Dragonite.

If your name's Alan (or Steve) and you're a groundhog, I'll let it slide 'cause it's still hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaPepCVepCg

Yes, but waiting a week, hoping no one uses the phone, was kind of nerve wracking.

Damn. I honestly thought that still worked. I feel like a doofus, since just yesterday I tried that and was very irritated that it wouldn't load up and run smoothly.

Ah memories….. I still yearn for a time when we didn’t have to worry about ads interrupting said video too!

For an encore, you should play "knife and fork" on the piano. :D

Hair sticks have been in use for thousands of years, and have been found in cultures of the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks, India and China. I wonder which culture she is laughing with.
