are you actually expecting some kind of cogent reasoning?

:-d

One can always hope.

It's emotional rather than cogent reasoning
like belief in god

If Clive sees no life here, then I bow to his wisdom.

I'm a fan of Cecil Beaton.

Isn't it more like idolatry or fetishism?

GA2G's story is a personal link so its an emotional connection to the Q

Envy. It is such a nasty, smelly affair.

You lot need a wash.

You're clearly mad.
Just shut up

And you can't spell a simple word like chief. Tragic.

You also clearly have no idea what verbal jousting is.

Sorry James, I will be avoiding you for all the rest of my life. I am one person that doesn't fall for you manipulation. I'll say this though, it is supremely effective, because even highly intelligent people that I** respectt **fall for it. Not me though.

Can't spell a simple word like **respect.

you people

Ashe, honestly ...

The composition of this photograph is absolutely awful.

belief in sky pixies

Do you have to bring up your belief in sky pixies every time?

Can we never discuss anything seriously without the bloody sky pixies???

The composition of this photograph is absolutely awful.

Lol.

Is it tragic? Is it really? Typed too quickly, ho hum.
Bored with your tedious wibbling about some fortunate woman born into (our) money and privilege who can wave a bit and travel around a bit. That's about the gist of it.
Verbal jousting? Is that what you're doing?
Well there's me skewered on your rapier-like wit.
"Go Fuck Yourself"? Brilliant! Oscar Wilde's got nothing on you.
Do one. Bell- chief >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

clearly another person has fallen under my powers of manipulation

FFS, guys, GA2G is just trying to be cleverly controversial in his celestial playground, just let it be, he is so awesome.

Is not that I'm not trying, but it's very difficult to flounce nowadays.

Jack will be heart broked.

Here in America, where what I is, they think the royals are wunnerful and are glad we has them and that they don't.

I like America very much, and Americans make truer friends than almost anybody else. But a look at their two main parties shows that they don't generally understand politics. In fact to them, a Liberal, is nearly a Marxist. I don't think they'd mind a monarchy........if it could have started years ago with the Kennedys. They just hasn't thought it through.

Could you please explain the political philosophies or ideologies that our two main parties represent?

The last I checked all they do is create policies in order to be voted in to power.

I love the statement, "I don't think they would mind a monarchy". What research have you done to back this up? I think history tells otherwise.

Doesn't it occur to people on here, that we generally are in the minority? Adult cyclists are a minority. SS/FG cyclists are an even smaller portion of that. Tattoos are a minority pursuit..........and look at that thread to see how generally acceptable and almost ordinary it is amongst us.

So we as a group are already different from most of the populace. Most of the UK are very happy with our monarchy, but it's you free thinkers that wish a different path. I don't think a different path is wrong, but simply that this path is not a bad option, and I support it.

And why decree decry one's individual political likes and dislikes. That's undemocratic isn't it? On here I am in a political minority, and thats fair enough, but I'm a supporter of one political system, that MOST of this country agrees with.

I'm left of center politically, and I am generally anti-Tory, but that doesn't mean that I disagree with everything Tory. Differences in political views should be respected. Not accepted, but just respected, as we are different, so we can't all like the same things.

I've defended my support of the monarchy here, and it's my right. It's Clive's right to with for the abolition of such a system, and I respect him for it. Trying to insult someone based on their political view is rather pathetic.

I hugely admired Arthur Scargill for his beliefs, but I didn't agree with him. No reason for me to send him insulting letters, is there?

*decree* was sent from my mobile phone. I had obviously meant *decry*. Velocio can see that difference in device addresses, in case anyone were to think me untrue.

I believe the term you are looking for is decry, not decree. To disagree with someones political views is part of the democratic process, it is not undemocratic. You appear to think that only you have the right to disagree with anyone, whilst the rest of us really ought to concede to the weight of your intellect.

What I was questioning was your understanding of political theory.

Re the vote on electoral reform, I don't think most of the country even understood the options.
