Does anyone else not give a damn about the Royal scandal?

[NightTrain]

I've no idea what the scandal is and I care even less.

[TSIAS]

1. Me neither (nt)

[Maple]

2. So far there have been

about 20 threads on this scandal 'no one' cares about. :D

PS...and you should care. It's a concerted effort to rid your closest ally of it's monarchy.

[LiviaOlivia]

7. QE II Loves Reagan

I don't care about it.

[Scott Lee]

16. One more dead monarchy is humanity's gain.

n/t

[The Raven]

3. I could care less.

[xJlM]

38. I couldn't care less

Has absolutely no bearing on my life, in any fashion.

[dreissig]

4. Charles Bottoms for Bikers

There's a whole other side to him that people don't know about.

[joeybee12]

5. It's my Life, damn you!

So don't make fun of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ProudGerman]

6. Who's Royals

That's right, the British Royalty. We fought a little war to get away from those inbred folks. I'm not one of their "subjects", I wouldn't bow to any of them if I were to meet any, and I sure as shit stinks don't give a damn about whatever the hell they are doing this week.

Royalty....so fucking what?

[Maple]

8. As I said

it's an effort by republicans to remove the royal family from England.

You remember England? America's closest ally?

They could also give you some pointers about how to turn a country against an institution and family that's been around for a couple of thousand years.

And you want to chuck out Bush and install Dems do you not?

Pay attention.

[Scott Lee]

15. Windsors have not been "around for a couple thousand years"!

You better hit the history bucks, Chuckles.

And as for British Royalty in general, I could give a shit. The Queen can wear a rubber chicken suit for all I care. Screw 'em all.

[Maple]

19. I didn't say the Windsors

I said the monarchy.

And yes, it has been around that long in the UK.

[kyrasdad]

9. nope

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

10. I could care less...

But to do so, I would have to get my brain surgically removed. :eyes:

[Maple]

11. Fascinating.

Then Americans wonder why the world sees them as insular and arrogant.

[NicoleM]

27. We're insular and arrogant

because we don't care about another country's outdated monarchy? BWAH! There are a lot of reasons to call us insular and arrogant, but this isn't one of them.

The people who bought every one of the 476 different editions of People magazine with Princess Diana on the cover are also probably, IMO, some of the people who care the least about what is going on in the rest of the world.

To answer the OP's question, I'm registering a zero on the care-o-meter.

[BuddhaGirl]

12. Who cares

about the royals. Royalty is a ridiculously anachronistic institution that serves no purpose in today's society.

They take a dump and wipe their asses like every other human being on this planet. They should just become private citizens and work for a living like everyone else.

JMHO :-)

[Rowdyboy]

13. "Methinks I smell the stench of revolution in the air!"

Before you act in haste, remember England of yore....


Woman: "I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective"

Dennis: "You're fooling yourself. We live in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes..."

Woman: "Oh, there you go, bringin' class into it again"

Dennis: "That's what its all about...If only people would..."

King Arthur: "Please!"




and


Woman "Who are you"

Arthur: "I am Arthur, king of the Britons"

Woman: "Who are the Britons?"

Arthur: "We all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king!"

Woman: "I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective!"

[Scott Lee]

14. I dont care if Charles wants to get rodgered by the Hells Angels

I hope he enjoys it. To each his own.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. If it had to do with a crime, I'd care

but I really am not interested in learning the intimate deals of someone's sex life...I don't care how famous they are or how much I might loathe them (like Dumbya)

[mykpart]

18. There's a scandal about the Royals?

:boring:

[Solly Mack]

20. There's a scandal?

oh...k

[Maple]

21. Like I said

insular arrogant Americans who can't even figure out how to get the WH away from a Republican president.

You could learn something if you weren't so Americacentric you know.

[NightTrain]

42. Uh...mate?

Unless it turns out that GWB is letting the Hell's Angels pork him in the butt, what precisely are we Americans supposed learn from the Prince Charles scandal in terms of defeating the GOP in 2004?

[corarose]

22. Charles will never take the thrown

Looks like William will be the next King.

[Kamika]

23. Im sure the freepers are going nuts

Personally I couldnt't care less

[tinnyguy1777]

24. "Up the Queen"----err-I mean

up "Chuck"------lol

[T_i_B]

25. No Brits on this thread?

Blimey! We must all be off down the pub watching the rugby and making rude jokes about he who sits upon the royal throne.

As to the republican stuff, what say you lot the the idea of President Blair?

And to answer your qyestion, No. :-) I'm not exactly Mr Royal watcher.

[TreasonousBastard]

26. There's a Royal Scandal?

Well, fuck 'em. Let 'em scandal all they want. Inbred, largely useless royals have been scandaling throughout history. It was a real problem when they actually ran things.

There are royal families all over Europe, and they usually just mind their own business. Even Japan keeps its Emperor under wraps most of the time. Germany, Italy, and France can't find theirs any more. Anyone heard what the Wittelsbachs are doing lately? What's the Dauphin up to? I heard there is actually a Dauphin somewhere.

Royal families are artifacts in democracies, and should just be seen and not heard, if that much. Britain's been selling their royals for years as a tourist attraction, and it's now biting them in the ass. Let them scandal themselves back into obscurity whre they belong.

[Fla Dem]

28. Don't we have enough real issues to care about ?

Who really cares about Prince Charles sexual orientation. For heaven sakes, it's a non-issue.

[name not needed]

29. hopefully

the scandal wont distract him on his duties of sitting on his ass all day and drinking tea on the taxpayers pound.

[Eroshan]

30. I'm more concerned

about our own "royals" scandals. The chimp in chief seems to have evaded:
9/11
Wilson affair
WMDs'
lies,lies,lies yeeaahhh

[alfredo]

31. More concerned about the Bush royal family scandals.

[amazona]

32. i can't say i find it especially compelling...

I was under the impression that all upper class Brits indulged in gay experimentation. I don't see what the big deal is. If I was expected to marry a depressed anorexic virgin as part of my duties as a prince, I certainly wouldn't feel compelled to refrain from finding entertainment elsewhere from time to time. They should leave the man alone; he might not have the most sandwiches at the picnic, but he's one of the good guys, tries to support the environment and the coal miners and all that. He could have just spent his time fox hunting. Sheesh.

[supernova]

33. Folks: It's "couldn't care less"...

The expression is "couldN'T care less.." x(

To say that you "could care less.." means that you do, on some level, care. You're unwittingly contradicting yourselves, and I don't think you mean to do that.

Not to be the grammar police here. It's just that on a topic where you are expressing extreme ennui about the royals, it's a better to be clear.

And now, I couldn't care less about Charles buggering a servant.

[JanMichael]

34. Here! Never have understood the prole fascination for those living...

...magnificently off of their Labor. Better yet they're only there due to Birth or hooking one for marriage.

:shrug:

[EV1Ltimm]

35. what royal scandal?

does this mean i have to start watching the news again?

[Cat Atomic]

36. I don't care, either. I'm actually not even clear on what it is.

[mr blur]

37. Please ignore them...

The Royals? You only have to live in the same country as these people to realise they're just a bunch of ignorant, arrogant, inbred halfwits.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

39. I couldn't care less

:)

[Myra]

40. I'm gonna be entirely honest here

'Cause you guys are like family.
Group hug.
I have *no* secrets from you!

I love all scandal, gossip, dirt, etc.
(Unless it's politically motivated like
the "vast (for real) right wing conspiracy"
against the Clintons.

And I actually did care about Princess Di,
and thought she cared back about people.
And I hate the "royals" for how they treated,
and perhaps murdered, her.

But the vague nature of this particular supposed
"scandal" is...weird.

[tom_paine]

41. No idea what you're talking abut. Got a link?

Not that any dumbass royal scandal can come even close in imporatnce to the transformation of Amerika into an Orwellian, Totalitarian Empire...
