[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone who defends Kate, her half wit husband and the archaic institution they represent should be deeply ashamed.

Do all you Kate apologists seriously think it's okay to be the kind of person who accepts other human beings bowing and curtseying to you? Is it okay that the [b]hereditary[/b] leaders of a major "democratic", economic and military power will be white and male for at least the next 50 years? That no one else -- no matter how smart or how capable -- can be head of state? Would you accept that? No Kennedy. No Carter. No Obama. No chance of your own child growing up to be president. Just century after century of a family that was the best at killing people and stealing land a thousand years ago.

Brave men better than any of us spilled their blood to get us away from that nonsense. Kate worked long and hard for 10 years to join that circus and that's everything you need to know about her.

And I do not envy any of them. There are literally thousands of SAHM's married to hedge funders, tech titans, etc who live a far more luxurious life and I could care less what they do or how they live because they are not being held up as role models when they're essentially mascots of a deeply undemocratic institution.

Please THINK about not just the person but the values you're defending and its effects on a society's class structure and aspirations and the message you're conveying to your own children.[/quote]
For Pete's sake, the Queen/King are just figureheads! They are not running the commonwealth! They just show up to cut ribbons. Yep - I have no problem with the figurehead of a foreign country being white/male.[/quote]
