Why is disliking the British monarchy being "anti-british"?

My point is that you don't know, so don't make baseless assertions. Nonetheless we can guestimate - and you clearly don't have any idea how tough such a job is.

My Well if you're going to take otherwise commendable principles to absurd extremes go ahead.

However I'd much rather prevent yet another politician from seizing another public office. People prefer this.

It's very apparent, she doesn't live a life of secrecy, i don't see why you can't make a simple inductive judgement from an elementary exercise of comparison? You clearly don't realise some have genuinely 'tough' lifes.



How is it taking them to absurd extremes? It's just their simple application, it's not extreme in any sense, monarchy doesn't meet the necessary pre-requisites for any of those things and hence cannot be attributed with them. There's nothing extreme about that and the principles maintain their sensibility, meaning and commendability that they otherwise would. You can't pick and choose when they hold these things.



Well that's your opinion, i have no objection to you maintaing such besides the substance that it's predicated on.

Putting that aside, what do you think, for example, the presidents of such countries as Italy or Germany do that the British monarch does not? Do you think they are doing easy jobs too?

For a start presidents have much greater responsibility than a ceromonial head-of-state position.

Living in a palace is neither here nor there, nor do I think it a particularly terrific thing. If you want to sacrifice your life to be solely in the service of the nation, hand away every piece of privacy you have, be expected to work until you die, all the while socialising politely and with a smile on your face to every single one one of the hundreds of thousands of people you are likely to meet then you're very unusual indeed. It's a ****ing horrible job.

Do you apply this notion to the royal family (i.e. monarchy) as a whole, as this is what should be done when considering the monarchy? I ask b/c I can certainly say the likes of Harry stropping out of exclusive London clubs every week or so doesn't exactly qualify with the description above

Oh and spare me the "He fought in Iraq" etc, as there are 000's of other soldiers who have, all of whom do not receive anywhere near the pampered treatment he does before or thereafter (or the protection he received whilst serving, as my brother serving in a neighboring town can testify, as to can many other soldiers).

Are you saying that a mid-twenties adult male is not allowed to go to a London club, like thousands of his fellows?

Shall we assume that any sign of frivolous spending by anyone - be it an iPod, a Mars Bar, or a holiday in Spain, is a sign of people being lazy?

I'm sorry but you must be moronic to think he goes to a nightclub just like every other teenager. He lives a pure playboy lifestyle, all b/c he has the wealth/privilege of being from the royal family and a certain bloodline

Why do you have to resort to insults, buddy?

Prince Harry has done an awful lot for charity and for the Armed Forces. I don't think you know the first thing about it.
