reaver894: Im one of probably more people than like the Monarchy that believe they are little more that the countries biggest benefits cheats. Added to that all the crap the Duchy of Cornwall owns and the dodgy tax avoidance crap the prince of wales pulls. Generally I think a lot of people that know the facts dislike the monarchy.

But that is just my opinion.
I've always been baffled they still exist but was told you have to be English to "get it." I equate that with fear of change, honestly.

Being Scottish that may be why I think they are a waste of money.

Good thing too. I was getting worried what England was going to do without an heir to the throne. :P

Isn't it bizarre that Winston Churchill saves the British Empire from the greatest menace to freedom in the past 200 years and the royals get all the attention.
Churchill? Explain "greatest menace". Don`t you mean Eisenhower??

I bet NO ONE dare to say "ugh, the thing is ugly". At least not publicly.

Many think it. Never to say it. lol

Ugly like Charles? So, when do we question it's paternity?

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, had bought new shoes for her wedding. On the big day they became increasingly tighter as the day went on.

That night, after the festivities were over, and they retired to their room, she flopped on the bed and said, "Charles, darling, please remove my shoes, my feet are killing me!"

Her ever-obedient Prince of Wales attacked her right shoe with vigour, but it would not budge.

"Harder!" yelled Camilla, "Harder".

Charles yelled back. "I'm trying, darling! But it's just so bloody tight!"

"Come on! Give it all you've got!" she cried.

Finally, when it released, Charles let out a big groan and Camilla exclaimed, "There! Oh, God, that feels so good!"

In their bedroom next door, the Queen said to Prince Phillip, "See! I told you with a face like that, she had to be a virgin!"

Meanwhile, as Charles tried to remove her left shoe, he cried, "Oh, God, darling! This one's even tighter!"

Phillip said to the Queen, "That's my boy who served in the Navy: once a Rear Admiral, always a Rear Admiral!

Goatbrush: This story is overshadowing the bigger news story for the UK that online pornography is about to switch to an opt-out system, with no real indication of which sites will be considered pornographic, if it's just sites which hold some pornographic content etc. If [random baby heir] wasn't being born, I'm pretty sure there'd be outrage over it (even though there are some parts to the announcement I agree with.)

I have the feeling I'm going to end up needing to ring BT to turn the pornography on so I can watch cat videos on youtube.

SirPrimalform: Yeah, just heard about this. Very worried it'll be used to block other things too and they'll hope that people will be too ashamed to ring up and ask to have the porn unblocked. The result is that you can hide stuff from the majority of people.
When I think of Opt-Out. I would think that if I didn't want porn I would have to talk to my ISP to filter it. Perhaps, most people are thinking the same thing. But you are saying you have to Opt-Out of being filtered. ISPs will love that, as they can charge a premium for those that want the porn package. Just look at Cable TV with their Porn Channels.

You're right. I worded that strangely, it's opt-out in terms of the filters which block the pornography, not opt-out of the pornography itself.

I also agree about the premium pricing thing, certainly a possibility. They could dress it up as some kind of pornography tax in a philanthropic attempt to save minds from corruption by boobs.

Here is a news article explaining some of it for those interested, but read through it carefully as some of the wording is pretty open to interpretation.

The ISPs hate it, and will fight a really hard fight to stop this. This law makes them responsible for content, it's something that creates some very scary distribution of culpability. ISPs deliver the internet, they don't oversee the internet, and they really don't want the legal headache of doing that.
