Juancornetto 1 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Everybody I spoke to was lifted by the weekends events we get nothing but doom & gloom on the news. Was nice to see Great Britain doing what it does best, wish we could have more of them. I get that mate and to an extent I agree but I just wish we could be proud of being British without having to bend the knee to the ruling classes. I'll never feel comfortable with the notion that anybody is "better" than me and a Monarchy is all about superiority. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've never shown you any disrespect so why does it matter if the Monarchy is 'better'? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should just go about my business accepting everything and if I come across anybody who thinks that they are better, I should just get out of their way? Not in my world. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should just go about my business accepting everything and if I come across anybody who thinks that they are better, I should just get out of their way? Not in my world. How exactly do the Royal Family think they're better, when have they ever gloated or looked down on others? They're born into something and given a duty, are you saying you think they should all just volunteer to close down Buckingham Palace, give away all they own and declare they're going to scatter themselves all around the country living as ordinary people who weren't born into a high status family? Again, what has getting out of their way go to do with anything? You make it sound like they've shown you some sort of personal disrespect, talked down to you in some way or pushed you aside. I just don't see what your gripe is with something that has been around for hundreds of years and is part of British identity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyharley 5 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I like the Royals. The Queen has been a dignified representative for Britain for decades. Good on her. I think she's worked hard and I hope she thoroughly enjoyed her Jubilee celebrations. Top burd 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I've nothing against the queen and toasted her a few times over the weekend, but what the feck is this thread doing in Rangers Chat? Absolutely nothing to do with the club and incredibly cringeworthy in here. We'd slag the other lot off for having a pope thread in their Celtic forum so what the hell are we doing? I smell the stench of hypocrisy and it's coming from us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smell the stench of hypocrisy and it's coming from us. One's our Head of State and the other isn't. Hardly the same. However if you think it should be moved then why not put in a request to an admin/mod instead of moaning about it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you think it should be moved then why not put in a request to an admin/mod instead of moaning about it? Both are nothing in particular to do with Rangers Chat or Celtic Chat which is the same to me. Should we also start irrelevant threads about Alex Salmond in here? I thought the request to move was implied in my moan... And obviously I don't see it as a moan - I see it as pointing out the obvious flaws with it being in Rangers Chat and flaws in our character for keeping it there. Sometimes a wake up call is needed; however, it's rarely welcome. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
