Well don't that just make it all okay then

The crusaders weren't considered extremists. christian history is littered with atrocities against other beliefs and lifestyles. Some christians may like to think their church is a happy clappy place but it's foundation is bloody violence in the name of a middle eastern god.

You make a good point, both Islam and Christianity being two Abrahamic religions preach subjugation of non believers in the name of their violent jewish sky wizard.

Now shove a UV light bulb up his arse.

Lol, how on earth did we manage to war in centuries before the US existed?

One really must try harder to be othered, it's all just a question of local.

That would literally be Bradbaurian.

Have you met 'We the people', shits and wankers the lot of them.

The similarities to The Road to Wigan Pier are astounding.

Can't say for myself, most likely, like I said, grew up in a closed religions community, emotional development in children not their strong point. Thanks for pointing that out to me, I really need the reminder of my shortcoming, may your gods bless you for your fine words.

Raised in a closed christian community, child abuse both mental physical and sexual was rife.
Your concept of 'having it right' isn't something I subscribe to, I live, create family, enjoy the life and try to help others enjoy their's. When my life is done like all animals I will die and be no more.

So which theists are the best critical thinkers? The Hindus, Zoroastrians, Jews, Muslims, or maybe one of the 45K+ christian religions? So many critical thinkers all coming up with the wrong answers except the one that has it right.

Identified or identifies as? Don't you be shaming the career fluid.

Read up on Richard Cromwell and the restoration of the British monarchy after the Commonwealth.

Oh no the conversation police have entered the chat.

As for the Kings power, It's his role that has the power. While his position may be seen as a figurehead, occupying that spot means that by political or legal manipulation other can't. He is 'the tyrant we know' rather than handing the keys to country to a career politician or worse, an oligarch.

POTUS =UK PM? Yes but the forms of governance are very different, one being unitary the other federal. Also the PM (though doesn't have to be) is the leader of the political party or coalition of parties in government, voted by the party, not the electorate.

Prime ministers are not Presidents. If you want a fairer comparison it should be between heads of state, 17 to 5 in the last 100 years by my rough reckoning.

Those peers would be the other Barons. Magna Carta (the 'the' is superfluous) was a out the rights and privileges of the ruling class. It is an elitist document.

For a history teacher I thought you would of know that King George III suffered from porphyria (possibly) and bipolar disorder, was a constitutional monarch and the whole tea in the harbour stunt while dressed as native Americans was about expansion of territory, not foolish if you're indigenous.

It's time Europe repay the favour and help get rid of the fascist in the US. Not quicky, wait a couple of years to see if it's in our interest to do so, meanwhile supplying goods and weapons at an extortionate interest rate that the US will be lumbered with for 61 years, then they must say thank you

Premier medical research but you don't have free health care, premier law enforcement but you can't arrest an insurrectionist, premier deliberative body but a republic is turning into a dictatorship. The US isn't premier, it's not even France.

Funny how Scotland didn't mind tagging itself onto England when we went and played Empire together.

When America decided to play in the European theatre it didn't have the culture of war or the history of war but it did have the men and it did have the money and it did have the machines of destruction and boy did it have means to make even more machines of even more distraction.

Nazi's make the fascist cars on the road.

The French, drink champagne and get shit done.

It should be taught in schools world wide.

No need for mane calling.

Did I not mention constitutional monarchy in my first post? - points for comprehension. The person of the king may be aesthetic but the Crown (big C) provides a stable legislative and administrative system.

Still waiting for the name of this political utopia you live in.

Are Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, or the UK left behind? Is Canada, Australia or New Zealand? All constitutional monarchies. So what equitable system of governance are you currently enjoying?

Well that would be the Court wouldn't it. Unfortunately it is unlikely that a monarch will ever be trained in the ideals of chrispysaid. What a king will do however, is remove the power vacuum that could easily be filled by a fascist dictator, if a country was ever silly enough to elect one.
