Do you know about the Canadian spy that was caught taking 3 underage British citizen girls to Syria so they can be raped? I think one got pregnant and after the major conflict was over the British government renounced her citizenship to come back into the country... so like the break away provinces that the Zionist established creating Hong Kong and Taiwan, she is now getting raped daily in a break away province full of terrorist in Syria.
Don't need to apologize, you don't know any better.
Everything the royal family has is stolen. The jewel on the royal crown was stolen from an 11-year-old. Duleep Singh was the son of the last leader of the Sikh empire Maharaja Ranjit Singh. After he died the British tore apart his family and forced Duleep to give it up. After that, they ripped Duleep Singh from his mother's arm and sent him to England where he became the queen's pet. He and his family a buried at a Christian cemetery in front of a church.
The royal family and the British Museum have a lot of historically and religiously significant Sikh artifacts. The British Museum has one of the oldest versions of the Sikh holy book. It has been separated into multiple parts.
Why do you support a family that lives off the profits of things like slavery?
The truth is probably somewhere in between, Queen is not an angel ... but she is not the devil either. The movie Crash (~2000 era) taught me that Good people can do shitty things. Shitty people can do good things.
The line is now 24 hrs long to see the closed box ... ??!!

Yes everyone is a criminal so no one should be held accountable. Abolish all jails.

Facts are facts, I completely agree that much of the collection of the British Museum were blantantly stolen by the British Royal Pirates... ahem, British Royal Navy back in the day from around the World. There is no disputing that, because that's what the facts were.
On the other hand, as someone with a Chinese background, I am glad that the British Royal Pirates raided and stolen a gob ton of historical Chinese artifacts from China, and hauled them back home. If it wasn't for that, a ton of those artifacts would have been destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
Unless your some sort of aboriginal living in some forest in the middle of nowhere, never having seen the face of anyone besides your kind. I’m sorry to say, your a hypocrite. If you believe in a religion, even more so. Every country, culture, religion has raped, stolen, murdered for their own reasoning, for what they believe is helpful to them or to better the life of their people.

Supreme Governor of the Church of England was the title the queen had now her son has it. The royal family is literately the head of the church in England.

I like how ppl defend murderers and thieves that they like, they get all meta/philosophical

I can't under stand how someone would support a family worth billions receiving over 100 million dollars in government handouts every year while 27% of UK's children live in poverty.
^ already answered like first page? It’s pretty simple.
That $100 million investment every year returns an estimated $30-40 billion in income and tourism for the country annually.
Would you stop paying them if you were the British government?
What do you think would happen if the government stopped paying them. Are they just going to close up shop and leave? I also find that number suspect. Where does if come from? According to this it's 3.7 billion Canadian. https://globalnews.ca/news/9123360/q...-royal-family/
I doubt people are going to stop going to the UK just because the country does not have a royal family anymore.
How much money do the Canucks bring to Vancouver? Should tax payers start paying them?
According to Bloomberg the Royal family is worth 18 billion.

C'mon this can't be true ... being part of a culture that has done harm in the historic past can't mean that you can't think critically and to name things that were wrong.
(And it's you're ... not your.)
What I find interesting (philosophically as someone alluded to) is this ... what makes taking some other nations' loot in a war right or wrong? What can you take and what can't you take? Can you take land? Can you take their treasures? Can you take their people? And why was it accepted at one historical moment and not now? And if you lived in that historical moment would you see it as wrong and be a social justice warrior then? Didn't Darwin proclaim, 'Survival of the fittest?'
I’d stop working and going to events if I stopped getting paid? Music producers get paid for songs 30 years later when people listen, it’s their image/business isn’t it?
I’m not sure why your arguing with me about it ethically… you asked why the government keeps paying them and I answered. Because it’s profitable for the government.
3.7b, 30B, 40B… heck even if it was $1B it’s still a 10x return on the investment right. Take the emotion out of it and it’s obvious.
Canucks comparison just proves my point on a smaller scale, it’s part of Vancouvers identity and generates tonnes of income through local jobs and patronage as well as tourists yes they come in to watch their teams, etc… and the public does pay, GM Place originally might have been privately funded but that’s unusual, most stadiums are paid for at least half by the cities they’re in, so yah the govt does pay to keep them here.

Maybe I missed the plot, but has she herself done wrong, or is this in past history? I’m just seeing a lot of anger towards a women for things that were done in the past, previous to her life.
Everyone has done wrong in the past. Get angry at the Queen. I really don’t care, but you should have the same anger towards your own people, culture and or religion. But people aren’t that open minded.

If your taking about me? I could give two shits about the queen. I also know the ones before me from my culture have done some awful things. My shit stinks too, I hope you don’t hold me accountable.

Music producers do not get paid with tax payer money. Superstore is extremely profitable with the Canadian government. Maybe we should start paying Galen Weston Jr. What about Drake? maybe the government should hire him full time to only do shows in Canada. People would come from all over the world to see him.
According to John Oliver stadiums are a bad investment.
It's not that I think or believe that... but that's the entire world man... what you gonna do?
Equality within the Sikh community
All members of the Sikh community are seen as equal. All individuals, regardless of their gender, race, disability, class or wealth, are treated with respect and dignity. This also applies to members outside the Sikh community.
People have to lose that serf mentality.
