    Like I said, it has to be psychological. Some people need to have others to revere (probably because there's nothing about themselves to like) and some people see it all for the charade it is. Never see these people in the politics threads though - the stuff that actually affects their lives rather than tales of kings and queens and their enduring love (Liz and Phil actually had a wretched marriage with his numerous affairs and jealousy of her status, but don't let facts get in the way of fairy tales)

    Or it could be that some people just doesn't have the decency to celebrate someone's life who just passed because they lived miserably all their lives and want others just be miserable as well... It is basic human decency to celebrate the life of the dead, especially of someone like Queen Elizabeth... Fairy tales is not even part of it... 

  2. The lowering of the coffin was just crushing.... brings back memories of recent deaths in the family... Was there a movie about the love story of Elizabeth and Phillip? Phillip's lifetime of sacrifice was so admirable and commendable and Elizabeth loved him back... Too bad their children wasn't as lucky and lived trainwreck marriages...

    As someone who studied History I just eat up all the formality and heavy symbolism of the procedure. 

    EXACTLY! Why politicize her death, right? The QUEEN wasn't even opinionated about heavy political issues when she was alive because doing so would further divide the people. She let the politicians have all of it.

    I hope no one seriously believes those ridiculous ratings numbers on Twitter for this funeral. :rotfl: It was an ordinary monday in Canada. No one was talking about this funeral (apart from the media), no one was watching this funeral, sigh of relief from just about everyone that this masquerade was finally over. She was a significant historical figure of the last century by her longevity on the throne, i give her that. nothing more, nothing less. In an ideal world, Canada would change its constitution to finally get rid of the monarchy. The majority of the population  desire it but our cultural and identity conflicts between Canada and Quebec mean that the federal government will never dare to reopen the constitution since it will have to include compromises for province of Quebec. Going back to the excess of everything about the queen we just went through, I still can't believe people lined up for 10, 12 or 14 hours to spend 10 seconds in front of a stranger's grave. :doh:Ridiculous.

    Even though I loved the service, watched it for like 8 straight hours on CNN, those numbers are just estimates... Do not give those numbers of too much importance... There's far better things about it to talk about...

    Nothing coo about it she had a lifelong love of animals and the outdoor and bred horses and had corgis has pets all her life.

     

    I loved it when they brought out her pets... Her funeral service is probably the most watched TV event globally indeed. Too bad, I don't see anyone from her family worthy of following her footsteps. Queen Elizabeth II and Phillip's love and reign was exceptional, near perfection. Her beautiful and elaborate sendoff fit her well. 🇬🇧👑👸

    I don't understand this pardoning gig. A president can quash a conviction and set someone free from jail? Like WTF??

    Most Presidents of many nations have that power, fyi... and it is mostly from recommendations from Bureau of Prisons or something...

    Interestingly, there's was a report recently that Trump is one of the few recent presidents where there were no attacks on other countries during his presidency. Even Obama launched some attacks. 

     

    Yes, the world was actually more peaceful when the US was under Trump. Now with war-mongering politicians are back, the world better get ready again to have wars sprouting where the US can sell arms... Trump was an outsider from the very start. Even old school Republican politicians hated him back in 2016, that's why some turned in 2020. These old school politicians are the evil ones. They will connive with corporate America to fatten their bank accounts at the expense of its citizens. Americans just lost a president who actually cared more about their welfare than outsiders. 

  8. The four policemen idiots were already fired and charged for murder, what else do they want?

     

    They torch and loot stores, what for? Did they ever think of ordinary people working on those stores who will lose days of income because of what they did? These rallyists are being infiltrated by destabilizers.
