What is it about some people that they like to moan, moan, moan?
What is it in their lives that is missing - because I can only imagine thats the case - that prompts them to moan, whine, whinge and complain about every subject under the sun?
If its a subject that seems Moan-Proof, some still find the Whinge Angle..
We all have our Off Days, but certain people are sublimely consistent in their whinging. It stands out a mile, and is most unattractive, particularly on a dating site!
Alot of folks seem to be missing the point as to why so much is being made of this wedding.
One of the main reasons it is so prominent is not so much that it is the marriage of the future King and Queen, it is purely because William is Diana's son, and given the love, respect and breath of fresh air she swept through the British Monarchy and the terrible way her life was cut so horribly short this is a much an opportunity to honor HER as it is to celebrate the marriage.
I am not particularly a monarchist, but I know a great deal about the history of the British Royal Family, and how it has affected policies over the centuries, both at home and abroad. Some good, some bad..
I believe that, whether or not you believe in the concept of a monarchy, it is only respectful to the memory of a lady who captured hearts all over the world and who instigated the biggest wave of change for the good through the Royal Family for centuries.
I was surprised at how loved Princess Diana was in the US, or certainly in MY part of the US. I think that love and curiosity springs mostly from the "idea" of a fairytale rather maybe from the facts, but that doesnt matter. The "idea" of a fairytale is EXACTLY what is so alluring about the monarchy, and why countries like Canada and Australia, who gained their independence but remain in the Commonwealth have so much TV coverage and interest.
Reading this thread, I wonder what the reaction would have been if this wedding involved Obama, or another high-ranking US figure; most of us "foreigners" would no doubt have been told that it was none of our business as it was not our country..
Considering what a mess the Irish Royalty and Clan Leaders made of the country in times gone by, I am not at all surprised you are not in favor of royalty.
I totally agree. Love them or hate them, the "Mystery" of the Monarchy attracts a huge amount of tourists and tourist income into London, and therefore the whole UK.
Take away Buck Palace, Tower of London, Lambeth Palace, Hampton Court, and all the other royal establishments, and you would end up with much, much less to go see and spend your money on.
Many assumptions have been made in this thread; many about me also. The fact that I don't know what Im talking about, the fact that Im American, the fact that I dislike and disrespect anyone on welfare..bla bla bla..
That fact that you quoted me kind of made me "assume" you were directing it at me.

Does The Classless Society Really Exist? Can It Ever?
I wasnt suggesting getting rid of classes, I was asking if people think they still exist.
