RhaenysBee Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Not everything has to be useful or clever. As for gross, picking your snot in public is gross, eating Nutella stuffed pickles with blue cheese is gross. But it’s hardly a word for royal families.

Cas Stark Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Nutella is vile and should be illegal. Heredary rulers have existed in almost all societies across history. I assume OP means in the modern context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hereditary monarchy means nobles, lords, titles with inherited rights and privileges to lands and all sorts of other material wealth, as well as immunity from the normal legalities that govern other people who pay taxes -- including paying taxes and going to prison. Without a hereditary monarchy that class of of inherited rights, privileges and wealth that intermarries and denies others who don't haver rights, privileges and wealth, can't exist. Until that obscenity that is the British monarchy is abolished, you all will have the house of lords and tories forever, while you no longer already haven't got health care. For one example. No need to cry for abolished house of Windsor, England, because they are privately in their privy purses, as opposed to the 'state purse' among the very wealthiest in the world and will stay that way.

IheartIheartTesla Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 We had 528 royal families in India at the time of Independence (1947). By the early 70s this number dwindled down to exactly 0 (when their special dispensations including financial ones were abolished) I'm sure the Brits can handle the 1--> 0 transition more easily.

Zorral Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 How anyone can say holding privately all to ones own little self more than 400 million dollars isn't rich is incomprehensible, unless one is rather removed from reality, perhaps?
