On behalf of America, may her highness live forever.

She has a sucesion tailor fit for a reality show waiting for her if she should croak.

I would like to see class from the country that spewed my vile country from her womb.

All jokes aside, the Queen was always a class act, never arrogant, nor extravigant. A great statesman, and always refined.

The Zoo awaiting her death is tailor fit for tabloid mags, and morning talk shows.


She is a far cry from that prick King George III
He got what he deserved...

Seriously or are you being silly? There is a few Hapsburg rulers who were loony, but they were inbred. I can't speak on Georges mental health, as I have not heard/read nothing about it but he was a real jerk IMHO for other reasons.

All I know is he tried to charge the 13 colonies for the debts his country incurred during the French and Indian War, and he got revolted on for his tyranny.

His loonyness cost him and his progeny one hell of a colony.

Actually since one of our own started the war and most of it was waged here, they thought they had good cause. And so did the colonies. The complaint wasn't that there were taxes, but that the colonial legislatures were allowed no hand in deciding what should be taxed. The legilatures then asked for a seat in parliament for each colony, which was refused, hence the cry "No taxation without representation". Even then the revolution didn't start until the colonial Governor of Massachussetts tried to confiscate an armory owned by the local militia. George III wasn't really a tyrant; he just didn't understand why these ungrateful colonials didn't want to act like good subserviant British subjects.

So loony or entitled ignorant, I would venture you choose ignorant. Cybermat made a comment he may have been a loony toon, was just wondering if something may have been found academically.

Loony I can almost give a pass to, the latter not so much.

I am glad that we left, but am happy to have the Brits on our side here in modern day. I can think of no sturdier ally.

Why talk so much about the past then true it has some importance but you seem to be a bit obsessed over it.You bring it up very often.

In Germany I shared a dorm with RAF members a favored pass time was to get a Brit and an American still caught up in the Revolutionary War AKA The American War of Independence and watch them almost come to blows over nonsense.

Actually he was found insane some years later, then recovered somewhat, and finally his son had to act as regent.

See the section on Later Life.

They even made a movie about it: The Madness of King George.
