<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8521077, member: 24754&quot;]Of course, I agree. If people are going out of their way to insult the Queen online on the day that she died, then that is in poor taste to say the least. I&#039;m not defending those people, and I&#039;m not even saying that she deserves criticism for anything, I&#039;m just speaking in generalities when it comes to these perspectives. I tend to think philosophically about pretty much everything and feel that it makes for interesting conversation. I can&#039;t seem to effectively learn the lesson that most people do not agree with this sentiment <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":blackeye:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that I can&#039;t quite get my head around is the weird obsession that people, particularly Americans, have with the British Royal Family, whose &quot;status&quot; is entirely ceremonial. Honestly, although I&#039;ve probably seen hundreds of pictures and videos of Elizabeth and Charles doing various things, I don&#039;t even know what their voices sound like! They seemingly just stroll around waving and sitting there during various functions looking dignified. Why would anybody develop a personal connection with that kind of thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it all must come down to fairytale-type fantasies and a straight-up need for hero-worship. Caring about what the Royal Family is doing is no different than caring about what the Kardashians are doing in my opinion, it&#039;s just weird.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, having an emotional response over the death of a 96-year-old woman, on the other side of the planet, that you&#039;ve never met, and that lived an extraordinary life by any standard is a bit strange. Hell, be happy for her, we should all be so lucky![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
