George W doesn't have any sons, and non-sexist as I am, I still believe it'll be 'a cold day in hell' when the US get a female president, just out of 'tradition' and the sort.

Yeah, that Bush Monarchy crack made me hurt my eyes when they nearly rolled out of my head...

Being an American, my natural reaction is that a monarch is Abominable.

Not that I've ever seriously considered that the British monarchy should be removed.

Since you're asking though, I think you guys have got a perfectly fine government without royalty hanging around. Out they go!

bush currently has a brother... Jeb... who runs the giant semetery we call florida... unfortunately for as long as the geezers outnumber generation X, we're focked... stupid baby boom of WW2... when ppl only have 2 kids all theyre doing is replacing themselves, you need atleast 3 to gain!... it will be the legacy of the puritans that we're so castrated the only way we can grow in people is through immigrants! ... myself being a prime example...

bush allso has a cousin, who owns FOX studios btw... it is one thing when they complain that the media is reporting bad things about bush, they had to get a channel to shovel right wing wal-mart packaged propaganda... no, it couldnt have been possible that governor bush could do anything wrong that could be reported on... same stations that castrated Clinton on the Monica issue...

the recent spat with Clinton while being interviewd on FoX was hilarious, I thought he cut the host's balls off when he confronted him on the intensions under which he created the interview...

as far as a female president, it wouldnt surprise me... plenty of nations with histories much older than ours eventualy evolved into accepting that a queen could rule over a kingdom or fiefdom just as well... if you think about it, it was a long runner up with nothing but men in the form of kings, cesars, szars, shieks and warlords or conquerors and eventualy it was acceptable that in the chance of king's death it wasnt the prince who took over, but the king's wife... obviously the middle east had not evolved in the same direction as both eastern and western europe, but you have to look at it like the galapagos ... same species on two separate islands evolved into two different species under the pressure of different variables... in this case its tradition / religion... Islam leaves less room for female advancement than does the peganism, christianity and jeudaism that dominated europe... from greece to modern time... the pre-islam star and animal worship in the middle east never used itself as a pretext by which to govern, only conquer and pray.. so it didnt fit this mold..

Yes, but aus should become a republic.

o_don · 09-30-2006, 10:17 AM

Kam: Why?

Russian: I like your last point. Interesting use of evolution for comparison.

he's a separatist pig

The queen likes to stamp her face on my freakin' coins.

o_kam · 09-30-2006, 01:55 PM

Because the queen n shit hasn't meant anything to us since back when my parents were kids. Wouldn't it make sense for us to want more of our own unique identity and individualism?

o_frenchtoast · 09-30-2006, 03:22 PM

The last time the queen came to Canada, everyone was busy watching the Price is Right.

I'd like Canada to sever our ties with the Brits. Nobody cares, it's just embarrasing for her.
