I couldn't give a toss if she was a figurehead of the country, and I will stretch this further to the royal family.
They have not in any way earned their position, they have just inherited because of their position in society: I find this absolutely disgusting, and I will treat them with scorn as a result.
For any Royals here, I would like to say that y ...[text shortened]... oved from your throne, your funding from the government removed as well. You do not deserve it.

You guys might want to start a new thread on this topic instead of arseing this one up.

I have to say I agree that some of the 'jokes' are pretty offensive though.
Actually not very funny either. 😞
Originally posted by Bad wolfwolfie, are you just the slightest bit jealous of the Royal Family? Your attitude sounds alot like sour grapes. Now, I am an American, so pardon me if I don't have all the facts, but I seem to recall that Diana was not of royal lineage, but was married into it. I also believe that Diana tried to do some good in the world, so why would you besmirch her name so? If you are angry that they were born into aristocracy then you will have a great deal of bitterness in life as you go to university and into the working world and you learn the hard cruel truth that in many cases, "it isn't what you know, but who you know that makes the difference".

They have enormous amounts of money already!
Originally posted by Bad wolfso answer me honestly....if you had been born into royalty, would you walk away from it all and publicly claim it was a travesty and donate 100% of your money to the poor working stiffs who weren't born into money? Be very honest now...your integrity is in jeopardy here.

But this in no way means that I can't be offensive to these people, I reserve that right.
