I think there will always be a "place" where certain violent criminals are "housed" under lock-and-key, sometimes for the rest of their lives. (Like...

Agreed. It probably didn't help that Trump cried Russia Witch Hunt Hoax ad nauseum for 2 yrs, with outlets like Fox News/Breitbart/Limbaugh etc....

This.

I think I'll be bored with the next episode. Longest fight sequence doesn't sound particularly entertaining.

If the monarch wants to express thoughts on current affiars they can do so. Abdication is an option.

People say episode 2 was boring? Because of a lack of action? I thought the scenes were an incredible wrap up for certain characters story arcs.

That in itself should be a reason to abolish the monarchy: keeping a person in a position where he is not to express any thought on current affairs...

They're usually "non-partisan", not non-partisan. They're either elected politicians with prior political affiliations and thus inherently partisan...

That's my thoughts as well. Which in turn keeps them in line, i guess. Sure, but it's a valid question: what is the point of electing a non...

Plenty of parliamentary democracies have non partisan presidents as head of state - and it seems to work out without a hereditary system.

I think there's some value in the head of state being non-political. And if they're non-political, there's not a whole lot of point in electing them.

I'd be really disappointed if we lost our monarchy. Something that oozes so much history and tradition is interesting and kinda romantic. I'm a...

I think incarceration in some form has it's place in the justice system, but it's pretty clear that the way we do it currently is counter-productive....

We're a Constitutional Monarchy. If the monarch started causing problems we could very rapidly become a republic.

I'm also Republican by principle. However, our previous queen and current king are as far as i can tell doing a pretty good job, so i don't really...

Sweden is also a Monarchy, I think we should ditch that too. I seriously have a hard time to see any advantage that would motivate it in a modern...

I'm a republican but out of principle. The cost argument is ludicrous, a President/whatever would cost a comparable amount. And even if we took...

Maybe it's as simple as Lewkowski claim. *sigh* I don't know. Most people are willing to help but to allow the person you help to really climb up...

GoT s08e02.... Booooo so far... Zzzzzzzz... Now they have wasted 1 h on crap they don't really need to explain/go into and the CG is plastic...

The only two reasons why people do not commit a crime that will give them something they want (either goods via theft, sex via rape, assault because...

If you get 8 stories right and 2 stories wrong that isn't an 80 that's still a failure. Just report the facts and not fake news, not that hard. ...

Trump's bullshittery aside, I've always been a vicarious republican when it came to the UK. And I had an argument a while back (in which I was...

The Crown Estate isn't public money. It's a... thing. Property of whoever the current reigning monarch is. Something like that? I'm really...

The graphics looking pretty similar to Lord of The Rings game.

:haha:
