Title: The British Royal Family.
Post by: Black Card on April 10, 2014, 03:39:23 PM
f**k the media attention these yolks get make me want to vomit.  Prince George's visit down under and the hoards of f**king ass wipes describing him as a normal child - wtf he is at the moment a normal child - but will grow into a complete self centered spoilt p***k like the rest of them soon enough.  And as for that c**k of a father of his, is there anyone on the planet you would love to slap around the head more -  rant over!

Who is Prince George? And why are you going out of your way, starting a thread, to tell us how pissed off you are hearing about him?

Have a look at some of the indoor and outdoor photographs of Windsor castle from MD's visit. Look at what all that would have cost to build and maintain over the years. And theyre only figureheads?! Me hole! You don't own most of the planet being just a figurehead.

That's the UK Parliament which governs the occupied 6 and who's head is Queen Lizzy? I am lazy so quick wiki on the UK Parliament - It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the UK and its territories. Its head is the Sovereign of the United Kingdom (currently Queen Elizabeth II) and its seat is the Palace of Westminster in Westminster, London.

Whatever you think of the monarchy itself ( and I'm opposed  to it per se) you can't help but having a secret regard for the Queen as a person.Thrust into the limelight at 25 years of age,and your every move and word dissected for over 60 years cannot have been easy,and she hasn't put a foot wrong during her visit to Ireland or during Michael D's visit over there.

Incidentally Patrick Murphy had a great column in Irish News yesterday explaining how we all became Brits! He attributes the death of Irish nationalism to the collapse of the other two great pillars of nationalist Ireland, the GAA (talks about the main out workings of the Sky deal as parents having to bring kids into pubs to watch the games) and the collapse of the Catholic Church,saying that now the only organisation with the power to define and forgive sins in Ireland is Sinn Fein :D Also referred to the "old boys of the White tie and tails" brigade! ;D

I don't have a secret regard for the queen, she wants for nothing and sits at the head of a table responsible countless atrocitites during her watch.

Gawd i'm raging, for only two weeks ago Irish nationalism was alive and well but alas the Sky TV was the grain of rice to tip the scales.

The Windsors have played a blinder recently. They lost a lot of brownie points when Diana died but this time around they control the narrative. A young woman and a child and a whole new setting and they manage all interviews down to a tee. It is as marketable as the champions league. Womens magazines all over the world buy the pictures.

Poor katie has to stay size 8 indefinitely.

By saying people who believe in God are gullible and naive, is the same as applying similar logic to children and Father Christmas, it doesn't mean their beliefs are being mocked these people just have been very mislead.   Humans for a variety of reasons have had religion forced down their throats throughout the ages, unfortunately few questioned the impossible, so as mentioned I would say I am rational and logical.  Not sure how much more I can help you with your question, but feel free to ask.

I'll be more clear, it wasn't God as that entity doesn't exist.  By the way, the question posed must mean you have an opinion so in your educated mind if the big bang theory was true, what or who do you think triggered it?

No one knows, and as it is just a theory no one probably will ever know - but a supreme being who has always existed and is looking after 200 billion odd galaxies it wasn't!

If no one else knows, how come you do?

I'll be more clear, it wasn't God as that entity doesn't exist.  By the way, the question posed must mean you have an opinion so in your educated mind if the big bang theory was true, what or who do you think triggered it?

My answering would be irrelevant as you are already certain of your own opinion.

Questioning these views makes me rational and logical I would suspect.
That's the answer to a question I didn't ask. What I did ask was, if having a belief in God "makes people gullible and naive", what does mocking people based on their religious beliefs make you?

By saying people who believe in God are gullible and naive, is the same as applying similar logic to children and Father Christmas, it doesn't mean their beliefs are being mocked these people just have been very mislead.   Humans for a variety of reasons have had religion forced down their throats throughout the ages, unfortunately few questioned the impossible, so as mentioned I would say I am rational and logical.  Not sure how much more I can help you with your question, but feel free to ask.
People have beliefs that many hold dear. Calling those people gullible and naive IS mocking them no matter how you dance around it. My question remains.

You said the Big Bang was just a theory and that no one knows what caused it or what came before it.
If no one knows then you cannot rule out the possibility of an entity that is different to us and that we do not comprehend.

BTW scientific observations have confirmed Big Bang predictions right back to within a trillionth of a second after the singularity. As a theory, it is a well founded one at this stage.

A "theory" in casual speech refers to an idea that mightn't have any evidence to back it up.

A theory in science refers to a hypothesis that has evidence to back it up.  "Just a theory" in scientific terms is an oxymoron. Big Bang is a highly respected theory with a ton of evidence to back it up. We know beyond reasonable doubt that it happened.

So you believe God triggered the Big Bang - which whether you like it or not still is just a theory?

I said no such thing.

I just pointed out that you ruled out the possibility on no basis whatsoever.

Hence the question mark - so are you going to reply - Do you believe God created the Big Bang?

The real question is do I believe there was a sentient being at the time of or before the Big Bang? I am inclined to believe there was.

I believe he goes by the name Larry Reilly.

Who is Larry Reilly?

Or should i say who is Larry Reilly.

Where the smart money is in the God/Big Bang whodunnit stakes.

A "theory" in casual speech refers to an idea that mightn't have any evidence to back it up.

A theory in science refers to a hypothesis that has evidence to back it up.  "Just a theory" in scientific terms is an oxymoron. Big Bang is a highly respected theory with a ton of evidence to back it up. We know beyond reasonable doubt that it happened.

We don't it is are reasonably certain that it happened.

I've no problem admitting I find it interesting. Never known a world without Brenda (© Private Eye). Bloody hell, even my dad would struggle to remember when she wasn't strutting her stuff.

I find it highly unlikely that she will abdicate, and there's no chance it will skip a generation.

Can't see her stepping down, she is less than a year short of big Vickies record of 63 years 216 days. This time next year she'll be in the Guinness book of records, no way is she gonna miss out on appearing on record breakers and getting a telegram from Norris McWhirter.

Stewart Lee wrote the defining piece on the British Royal Family, IMO

http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2011/apr/27/royal-wedding-secret-kate-wills

The arrangement of the 6,000-year-old circle, and the stone rows, burial chambers and mounds that surround it, is explicitly symbolic, explicitly sexual and explicitly ritualistic, and as such it shares the same transformative agenda as Friday's royal wedding.
In Avebury, the West Kennet Avenue, a long row of erotically paired stones, uncoils snake-like from the circle, as if to penetrate nearby Silbury Hill, a fecund 37-metre-high female belly, which rises from the marsh to meet it. The prince has taken his lowly bride from within this charged landscape, where our ancestors celebrated the union of man and woman in stone and earth, and began the communal processes that forged a nation from their descendents, the broken nation that William the Fisher King must now heal. Our shaman-prince could not have chosen a better receptacle for his magical purposes than Kate Middleton, a peasant-spawned serf-girl, sodden with the primordial mire of the Swindon-shadowed swamplands.
Secondly, in choosing a commoner for his bride, William gives hope to millions of socially disenfranchised Britons. Only two Tory generations ago, the prime minister Margaret Thatcher was proud to proclaim herself "a grocer's daughter". A mere 20 years since she passed power on to John Major, a garden gnome salesman with six O-levels, it is impossible to imagine either in government today, composed, as it is, principally of former members of the elite Oxford vomiting society the Bullingdon Club. The state-schools system is stretched to the limit; the withdrawal of further education grants deters poorer students; and government contributions to the Bookstart scheme, which gives books to children who might otherwise have none, have been halved. It is not possible to imagine a Thatcher ever getting out of Lincolnshire today, let alone becoming prime minister.
But in snatching Kate from the gutter, William stooped even lower than he would have done had he chosen Margaret Thatcher for his bride. Kate's parents aren't even grocers. They sell novelty hats and paper plates. It's no coincidence that as genuine social mobility in broken Britain is eroded, so commoners turn to the National Lottery, The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent. Winning them represents the only chance real people have to change their circumstances significantly. It could be you. And, like some giant illuminated penis flying over the rooftops of suburban homes and frothing at random passing women, William has pointed himself at Kate Middleton, the Susan Boyle of social mobility.
In declaring her his princess, he brings hope of real change to millions of people denied a decent education and the means to better themselves, to millions of tiny babies denied even books, that one day they too could be randomly rewarded with untold wealth and privilege.
The wedding of my wife and I was a small affair, with 40 or so guests. We were not required to arrange our day along magical or symbolic lines, though admittedly some aspects of the Catholic wedding ceremony confused me, and my wife is yet to explain the tradition whereby I have been obliged ever since to sleep alone each night on the toilet. But as a symbolic figure, poor Prince William's wedding is hostage to political expediency. Consider the faces he will see as he and Kate make their solemn vows.
From the world of government, the prime minister and Mrs David Cameron, and the deputy prime minister and Ms Miriam González Durántez, holding whichever suit the prime minister has chosen not to wear; from the faith communities, the Reverend Gregorius, Anil Bhanot, Malcolm Deeboo of the Zoroastrians, The Venerable Bogoda Seelawimala Nayaka Thera, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Optimus Prime, Yog-Sothoth, Captain Marvel and Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor; and from the twin spheres of entertainment and sport, Mr Ben Fogle, Mr David Beckham and Mrs David Beckham, Mr Madonna Louise Ciccone, and Sir Elton Hercules John and Mr Sir Elton Hercules John. Candles in the wind all.
But as he gazes at this golden shower of dignitaries, it is William who will have the last guffaw. He knows that this was not so much a wedding as a psychic rescue operation, a healing ritual for broken Britain, a pantomime of hope for the terminally hopeless. In taking Kate Middleton as his bride, Prince William, more than anyone in any position of power in Britain today, has tried at least to do something to help. I hope sincerely that both of them are very happy.

If no one knows then you cannot rule out the possibility of an entity that is different to us and that we do not comprehend.


An supreme entity that has always existed, and always will - that's not beyond comprehension, that's in the Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy realm.  Scientists currently believe that life on Earth may have started by asteroids colliding with the earth delivering water and the building blocks for life, I am sure as science advances most of the mysteries will be explained.

Scientists cannot explain how for every billion particles of anti matter there were a billion and one particles of matter.

Science cannot explain what lies at the bottom of a black hole!

Science cannot explain how the universe survived in plank time when the math suggests it should have imploded in on itself.

Science is far from perfect because man is behind it's findings and man is far from perfect!

The odds that we sit in the goldilocks zone are in the billions yet here we sit!

I have no interest in demeaning athiests, I think they are wrong but I respect their right to think what they like about faith and God in particular!

Science doesn't claim to have all the answers and never has done. If science could explain everything then what would be the point of science? For every question it answers it produces more questions.

Who would make the decision to abdicate? Queenie herself?

Assuming yes then who would decide then to skip a generation (if that was a runner)and give Wills the job?

Not so much the Queen or the comments themselves but the way the Brits go smooching around her, like she truely heads up the show.

Firstly Cameron tries to impress her with a stupid joke about corrupt countries going to an anti corruption conference (like what would be the point of having uncorrupt countries going to it? ::)).

Then you had this Met commander winging about the Chinese security
