The family on the bottom picture have inherited wealth of over £5bn and earn around £250m annually in tourism for uk, the guys in top picture are red necks with no opportunities or education.

Also the Royal Family don't have any REAL power anymore.
They are figureheads in every sense of the word.
I don't understand why the British hold them in such high regard mind you. It's silly, but it's their silliness and their country, so it doesn't matter to me.
-
The UK royals serve a purpose, and are merely continuing a tradition of a ruling class family.
KKK clansmen are simply racist, haters.

During the 90s the monarchy were widely hated and seen as useless. Then along came a royal marriage and a baby and there you go. Millions of magazines sold, constant media salivation for pictures of royal children and adoption of uber celebrity status for royals in an age of celebrity.
-
I've never understood how the Royal family benefits the people, they must cost a shit load to host.
Say the were for sale. Who would buy them for their country, lol?

That parallels what many people think about the United States President/s. Bottom line: the top of the mountain is a lonely place, no matter the locale or position.
-
The "President" is a modern name and invention. We have always had Princesses, Princes, Queens, and Kings.....Even Emperors are more valid.
Americans continue to live like we run shit. History shows us that we are just a blip on the radar.
We model our Capital buildings off of Roman architects. We can only hope to last as long as they did.

The royal family has far more wealth and influence then you are aware...
Look into it if you don't believe me.

It is Palladian architecture ;D The whole pillars and arches thing.
I think about the position of the USA as a superpower and have regard to history (Romans, British Empire etc). I can't think of another country fit to lead the world, despite the problems the USA has. The fact that the top entrepreneurs emigrate there shows it is still seen as the bastion of freedom and business. I would rather the USA call the shots than China or (though it has no money, just wepaons) Russia. Texas has a bigger economy than Russia... lol.

Don't get me wrong.......I love being an American, but I can't help but notice the parallels with other dominant civilizations in history.
In my opinion, it is stupid to hate on the UK, when 100% of white people in America have European ancestry.
I have respect for my UK brothers. My history comes from Europe.

What similarities do you see? Besides being world powers?

The family on the bottom amassed their fortune by "divine right" over the sheeple of Great Britain.
They will lose some of that wealth once Sharia Law is imposed over the U.K.
The photo on the top was taken at Chaos' family reunion
-
What similarities do you see? Besides being world powers?
It's simple....Americans are Europeans sans a few hundred years. The term "Native American" is there for a reason. White people aren't native to North America. Whites are either Vikings or Europeans.
1776? I have read books that are older.
-

I understand the wealth and influence, but influence isn't power.
Power is just doing what you want... Influence is being able to convince people to do what you want.
They are subtle differences, but I see your point.
-

I've sometimes wonder how they stay rich. I mean, inherited wealth only last so long. How do they generate the income to support their life style for so many generations?
And please don't tell me they are supported by the tax payers. The British can't be that stupid.

Heritage, perhaps.
Clout, no.
Let's not forget that the House of Windsor changed its name because they were afraid of being ousted due to German heritage during WWI.
They basically wanted a do-over and used a name change to get it.
They are at the mercy of their people currently, which is fine... There are no empire's anymore really, nor should their be.
-

Your statements are honestly too retarded and you're too much of a faux-intellectual to continue conversation with.
You have to remember, if you were anywhere near as smart as you think you are, you wouldn't be a fat man in his mid 30's working at walmart and spending his days arguing on message boards with people you have nothing in common with.

America is less than 300 years old. We are the current bully on the block, but we aren't shit within the grand scheme of things.
My favorite football team is the "New England" Patriots. Clout.

Shitty 400x zoom ones...

They do get funded by tax payer - I think it cost £37M for the Queen alone last year (travel, state visits, repairs and general maintenance costs on fuck know how many enormous properties...). Like I said, they do make more through tourism. They are the the people Hollywood celebs wanna be piced alongside.

You are using a football team and region to say that the British Royal Family has clout.
I will disagree with your premise.

Then why do they call it " New England"? New Hampshire.....etc...
No offense Tu, but that "region" made America.

I would like to see her royally-manicured brunette bush.
Look into it, will you, please?

The difference, as near as I can tell, is that in England they love their queens and so allow them to live in a palace. Here in America we give them so-called "reality shows" based upon either cooking or bridal fashions.
Ugh. Disgusting.
-

No offense Tu, but that "region" made America.
People left that "region" to FOUND "New World".
They didn't "make" any of it.
The people who made the United States of America were much more self made than any of the "Royal Family" by LEAVING that "region".
No offense taken, but your view of what made the United States is quite small if you believe that that Region had anything to do with this country at all. Especially 400 years later.

Ok, first I was talking about the region known as Europe, so your region and mine are not the same thing.
Much confusion.
Secondly.
I wasn't really talking about it, but if you want to talk about it, we can.
Who was the General? Where was he from? Where was the white flag raised and the surrender of the British?
Most of the states hit the hardest were in the Mid-Atlantic actually.

Hate to break it to you, but the founding fathers of America were British colonists. Plus, we are kinsman to Cornwallis.
We fought a civil war with the British for our "independence".

You are confusing a lot of points Shizzo.
I know where the people were from.
They were not all British Colonists. Some were from France, some from Spain actually.
I know what the Revolution was fought for.
Not to pick, but are you drinking now? It seems as if some of the conversation is getting mixed in with other points.

Then you admit my initial point. Americans are comprised of foriegners. Are we Americans now? Absolutely, but we also should not forget our roots.

Where did you make an initial point that we as a nation are all immigrants?
Your initial point was that the Royal family had some kind of power. Which they do not.
After that you kind of jumped around.
I never denied we were all immigrants, but that has nothing to do with the Royal family having power or clout.

My original point was that the Queen and King monikers traditionally, carry more weight than the President tag.
They are all puppets at this point.

Traditionally? You mean prior to the empires all being dissolved? Sure. I'll give you that.
However, today. In the world we live in. The Queen and King monikers mean nothing.
Understand that the Kings and Queens of the empires were Kings and Queens because they ruled by "Divine Right".
This means that they believed throughout history that they ruled because "God saw them as better" and therefore put them in charge.
This all ended after World War I.
Let's have a history lesson.
The British House of Windsor was related to the the Keisers of Germany AND the Tsars of Russia. They were all inbreeds as they all married each other believing that they should keep the bloodlines pure as they ruled by "Divine Right". Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was almost a twin to King George the V of the British Empire.
Now, when WWI broke out and all of the relatives of Queen Victoria put the entire world into one of the most devastating wars of all history, the common people. Serfs of Russia, people of the Prussian Empire, citizens of the Ottoman Empire, AND the commoners of the British Empire all started to rise up against their leaders who led by "divine right".
This is why the Tsars were overthrown, the Keiser exiled, and the Ottoman Sultans forced to allow individual countries to rule themselves.
The only reason why the British Monarchy was not completely overthrown was because they:
Fooled some people by changing the name to The House of Windsor, gave more power to the people via Parliament, completely ignored Tsar Nicholas' request for asylum (thereby guaranteeing his own cousins death), and gave up most of the control of their empirical territories.
The days of Monarchs and Empires were officially done and with those days. All of the "clout" they held.

The President is essentially the "king" of America. Neither the Royal Family, nor the President has real control. That belongs to Congress and the Parliament, respectively.

Not true at all.
Our fundamental rule of government is not the same as Parliamentary.
The President has veto powers where the Monarchies do not.
The legislative branch is 1/3 the total branches of our government. The British Monarchy is maybe 1/100th. They have almost no power at all.
The President is an elected official. The House of Windsor is not as the President does not rule by "Divine Right", but at the behest of the people who voted him in.
They are as I stated, basic figureheads. They (The King or Queen of the Crown) can speak in Parliament, but have no say over its direction what so ever.
Now, if you are saying that the President makes no policies of his own volition, or he is simply a pawn for someone else. Then that's an entirely different subject.
I'm speaking about the rules of government as they pertain to two completely different groups.

Truly I must not. As I do not seem to agree with your statements.
I am not saying anything in regards to either of us on a personal level. I'm simply discussing the differences in the premise of a Monarchy versus a Constitutional Republic and how they may or may not apply to today's current world view.

So is this true? The Royal family is essentially on welfare? And live a life style that the very people supporting them will never know.
No one has ever cried foul? They do nothing yet live like kings and queens.

Absolutely true. The Royal family is completely funded by the British people.
They get millions given to them as a stipend as a part of the government spending.
It makes no sense and the people of the U.K. seem to be all about it. Fucking weird.

I did not know that.
It's bad enough that they are supported by the ordinary working people, many whom struggle, but to have such opulence and luxury. I mean, even Josh has to make a punching bag out of an old.
That is just outrageous. I can't believe I never knew this. I guess it's because I just never paid attention or thought about it. It just always was. Maybe that's the case with most people. They just never think about it or question it because it's always been like that.

A president is a government employee. It's a matter of personal opinion if a tax payer is getting their money's worth out of a government employee. A president's job, even if one considers them a bad president, is not an easy one.
There's no equivalence between a democratically elected president and a King/Queen who is just born into the position and doesn't do any actual work.
The Royal family could be eliminated and have no effect on the country other than getting rid of more dead weight. If we got rid of the President, the Senate, the Congress, the Governors and all Federal and State employees that are funded by the tax payers I think it would probably make a difference.

Yes this is true it's fucking disgusting, that donkey looking cu nt prince Williams wedding cost around 10million and another 4million or so to refurbish his 22 room "flat" inside one of their palaces.
All the while some working families on low incomes are having to visit food banks to feed their kids, meanwhile prince Charles will fly 5 miles in a private helicopter to save travelling by car. They make me fucking sick

That doesn't happen any longer.
