They made the king/queen into government employees several centuries ago, didn't they?

It is no sign of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
If we had an American monarchy maybe people would feel like we had the "attending lots of parades and squinting at disasters" functions of government covered and the President wouldn't be expected to do all that poo poo and could spend that time governing.

I really just don't like the idea of a monarchy, no matter how much power they do or don't have. That said, the British can escape the Revolution as long as they call it quits once the Queen dies. She's cool enough to let stick around for a few more years but her family are basically all parasitic guillotine-fodder.

Just lol at dumb Americans whose country was behind Britain in abolishing slavery, giving women voting rights, and making same-sex unions legal. Well done. Enjoy your glorious elected supreme leader.

Gay marriage isn't actually legal in all of Britain yet. And some US states had gay marriage years before it was legal anywhere in Britain. So, in no way did Britain beat America in making same-sex marriage legal.

Adopt children to kill them? Well, maybe it's a step too far.

Assisted suicide is illegal in Belgium.

You're thinking of euthanasia and gayness isn't recognised as either a terminal illness or a non-terminal illness that necessarily has unbearable suffering associated with it and has gone through the most common treatment options, so it doesn't qualify.

If you think about it, Trump clearly would want to be European royalty instead of president. All the fun and fame, none of the political games.

Most monarchies are more progressive than US in every way. I guess it's time to make a point about how Northern Ireland only recognises same-sex civil partnerships and not same-sex marriages. Checkmate, monarchailures. :smug:
