I hope not mate - hating the Royal family is one of the surest signs of sanity known to man.

It would be worth getting shot of them if the country got to keep all the money we blow on paying for their useless, pampered arses to swan about and relax in luxury. People say they make loads of money for us in tourism - I tell you what , we could get rid of the Royals, keep the palaces and what have you, and people would STILL come over to look at them. They know they're not going to actually MEET the Queen anyway. They haven't had a Tsar in Russia for nearly 90 years - people still turn up to look at the remnants. The Royals are good for nothing but embarassing us.

I know they are not going anywhere. Nor is George Bush, he's going to be here for awhile to come as well. So are racists, paedophiles and rapists. Doesn't mean we have to like any of them. And no, I'm not saying the Royals are paedos and rapists (though old Phil is a bit of a racist), I am just making a point.

I just dont see why people like you get so worked up about it. Fucks sake theyre not that big a deal. Who cares, they do bring more money to this country than they take from it, wether you believe me or not. Its apart of our history and culture. Why dont you, before you critise them, take a look at what actually does. Most people just think she opens hospitals and base their ignorant thoughts soely on that. Dont get me wrong they aint picture perfect but id rather worry bout other stuff in life. Such as what im going to have for tea now...

The thing is your parents had to work their asses out to get you a pc and some food on the table every day, and them royalties have their lives all sorted out because of their last name. It's against the principle of equality, you know? Dinasties aren't fair, it's an antithesis of democracy having people that elected themselves as representatives of a country.

Don't get me wrong, I don't lie awake at night thinking of ways to hate the Royals, but superguiller has a point. At the end of the day, the AREN'T normal people. They are taking our tax money and stuff to do a job. When people say "Oh, nevermind Harry dressing up as a Nazi, he's only a regular 20 year old", I would say No, he isn't. He is a public figure representing US, the British people. If he wants to be a regular 20 year old then he should quit the lousy Royals and stop having his lifestyle subsidised by people like us who have a lot less than him to begin with. What's sad is that in the old days there was at least the possibility of a coup or an invasion and you'd get a new set of Royalty. Won't happen these days - we're stuck with the crappy Windsors (Hanovers) forever.

Nothing wrong with what Harry did, he was just having a laugh at a party I'm sure he felt the same way while he was grovelling for it in public afterwards. He is a public figure. He is paid - by us - to be so. There are certain responsibilities that come along with that, such as realising that a certain race or group are going to be offended if you dress up like Adolf Eichmann. Granted, if he were a regular 20 year old there wouldn't such an outcry - but he ISN'T. He is supposed to represent the best of British life and culture and sell that around the world (as the Royals don't do any actual governing anymore, thank Christ). Like I said, if he doesn't like that and wants to be a regular 20 year old, he should pack it all in and stop taking the people's tax money.

yeah and this thread has gone way off topic. going back to the original thing....
i REALLLy dont like the sound of these anti terror laws. it jsut is scary that we seem to be regressing on civil liberties and seem to be heading down the totalitarian path. i mean, not as drastic as that (hopefully) but in that direction.
it just seems so un-australian, whatever that means...just against our spirit and our usually more rational way of dealing with issues and keeping htings in perspective instead of this 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh the terrorists are everywhere -hyperventilate- they are gonna kill us!!! noooooooooooooooooo!' attitude of the howard government.
and i reckon that you can have as tight terror laws as you want - but if these people want to bomb us so desperately, they WILL find some way to do it. so while terror defence is important, we should know our limitations and focus on other issues as well, like cancer which kills more people in australia than terrorsim does.
and also, we kinda made ourselves a target by being so happy to stand next to Bush -.-

When you consider 18 people were arrested last week, it's a case of "Bin laden is in Australia!"
