U wanna see Patriotism go see all the old men who fought for this country and see what this Goverment has given them in return.

WOW! This is the internet, not reality, I wouldn't take any of it too seriously. That was a joke.

I held back too to be honest. This is not a politcal forum.

Absolute Power curupts absolutely. How you you compair your government to that in say, Iraq? Fairly similar. I think that the leaders of countries should be elected by the people. It should not be a "birth right". I don't care who they are being born into the right family doesnt make you a good leader. Just look what is happing over there now with the Prince wearing a Nazi uniform to a public function. Yea, I want him running the country. :ermm:

well we in britian have a royal family of german desent - and a royal family that made plans at one time to leave for germany during the second world war but most of it is covered up these days.
I agree `birth right` should not get u anything - In my view EARN IT.

Nothing is private when you are a the future leader of a country. Please, don't go there.

Even if it was private, you think this behavior is ok? That would be like me dressing up as the Grand Dragon of the KKK and going to a party.

It is NOT funny. If you think it is, then you deserve him as your future leader.

Let's remember this thread isn't about Prince Harry - save that for another. This thread is to identify members' personal political stance.

That was just an example of why I couldnt even fathom the idea of a monach, ie Leader by birthright.. Sorry.

Where did I say it was funny? In that comment I expressed no personal view regarding the matter. I was pointing out how the media distorts what really happened as amusing.

yeah where did he say it was - he only stated about the media going over board which i agree they do - but as i said above the royals are in the public eye at all times and as such should be sensitive to matters like that.
