Anyone watch this parade this morning? Lots of pomp and ceremony and 10s of 1000s of people in attendance.
The airplanes too loud for Louie.

Why any Americans care is beyond me.
Royalty can go suck on big fat smelly eggs.
Between 25,000 and 70,000 American Patriots died during active military service.[1] Of these, approximately 6,800 were killed in battle, while at least 17,000 died from disease. The majority of the latter died while prisoners of war of the British, mostly in the prison ships in New York Harbor.[2] If the upper limit of 70,000 is accepted as the total net loss for the Patriots, it would make the conflict proportionally deadlier than the American Civil War.[3] Uncertainty arises due to the difficulties in accurately calculating the number of those who succumbed to disease, as it is estimated at least 10,000 died in 1776 alone.[3] The number of Patriots seriously wounded or disabled by the war has been conservatively estimated from 8,500 to 25,000.

Ease up, cupcake. :old:

I realize and remember the events of the Revolutionary War (and the War of 1812), but personally bear the British no malice, royalty included.
Did they do some jacked up stuff in the past? For sure! But so have we. Just look at the Filipino-American War.
I don't think I've ever even met a British person myself, so there's another reason for me not to hate them.
Plus- they fought alongside us in WW1 and WW2! Those British boys suffered just as much or more than our GIs. Queen Elizabeth lived through World War 2 and the Battle of Britain. The accounts of the BoB are very harrowing, but I suspect a lot of the people around here already know that.
PS- by definition Americans are descended from Brits. :rofl
Royalty might not be great examples of good character, but our government isn't exactly much better (LET'S GO BRANDON!)

The 1812 war was America aggression.

Between 25,000 and 70,000 American Patriots died...
Are you proposing that war is a bad thing?

Hows it going in the USA?
Seems to be going down the pipes. :rofl
At least in the UK we have put that covid nonsense to bed :)

No need it was a bit ambiguous but I did not infer mallace. :salute I'm kind of indifferent to the Royal Family as a percentage of the Commonwealth naturally are. On the one hand it is an objectionable concept. On the other at this phase of human development is it better to concentrate the royaly or allow it to spontaneously emerge due to private wranglings and wealth-accumulation. Amounts to about the same thing.
It's lucky the conversation wandered. RotBaron had his foot potentially dangling over my bear trap there :rofl I do enjoy a good multi-stage trap.

The 1812 war was America aggression.
We already run the misfits out of our country. We sent 'em back to England.

Quite right. You were in real danger of getting an education :rofl

Or Canada (which didn't invade us to begin with), if you're actually up on your 1812 history. There was the press gang thing, though. ;)

It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it. - Robert E. Lee
Inherently yes, but it also depends on many factors, is it for a righteous cause? Perspective is the most significant factor, are you the invaders or being invaded…
The maiming, death, upheaval, destruction and such, all bad. However, removing dictators and their murderous, torturous and corrupt regimes - good…
“Persian Gulf” war/Iraq, justified and righteous imo.
Afghanistan, far from. However, the profiteers have loved it.

Shida is not English anymore so his comments are irrelevant.
He is a EU regime minion.
So is stateless

Now that's a wise man. I will look further into him. There have been some notably wise and forward-thinking Americans. Make some more please.

No I am stateless, and so unminionated. It's a privalage actually, to have a position to overview just how much cultural manipulation there is, how - in a non-racist stylee - histories have formed distinctive cultural 'beliefs' and especially the core human values we all share. Except Shuffler, he needs more education.

Almost spewed coffee reading this. :rofl

I have yet to brag about the English.... so no problem here.

Shida has a point about colonials apparent pride in their anger at the printed word.
Democracy without opening a book.
Then again the biggest Democracy in the world is India where the majority cannot read :)
I am reading “beginnings of the Cold War “ by Martin F Herz born in New York
Book made from paper with words in it, not about Fantastic heroes.
So why do you people not read any more? Chemtrails or 5G? :rofl
-
Does reading the nonsense here count as reading?
An ignorant American wants to know :)

Apologies to the rest of you colonials, books anger you.
In German they used to burn books no need in the US they are not opened

I'm still not convinced that this book fixation of Zack's isn't merely a projection thing and he doesn't post via some talk to text proggie because he's illiterate. :D

It wasn’t their fault, once upon a time US MSM was mostly honest and strived for investigative journalism and integrity in news/reporting. They just failed to recognize when that moral cornerstone was discarded in favor of political gain, persuasion and greed.
They continue to be blind to it even though it’s been entirely exposed, which is their fault now.
Honest journalism might get them to books, but that ship has sailed in the US.
