I'm looking forward to the religious viewpoint

because obviously a belief in a ancient mythical being gives someone the abilty to make a reasoned argument regarding a scienticic practice.

Opinions like that are counter productive.
Religious people don't deserve to be mocked for their beliefs, and they have a right to comment on social issues.

Yes they bloody do deserve to be mocked.
In the same way people are mocked for believing in fairies.

No, I don't believe in God,
I have no need for God or Religion in my life. I just think the trend of dismissive retaliation against the religious right is stupid and pointless. Let them say what they want about evolution/genetics/politics and society. It doesn't mean that we should mock the religious or dismiss their opinions and concerns because they believe in God.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 15 Apr 2010, 13:41, Reply)

But using their religion
as a basis for any objection is the same as basing an objection on the fact that aliens don't like it, and I know, one came to me in a dream and I wrote it in a book and other people agree with me. It's no basis for an argument.

They try to get us to see things the way they do. They try to get us to live the way they do. They fight wars about it and people suffer because of it.

(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 14:41, Reply)

She can decide to dissolve the goverment when she fancies
and she can rule out laws.

The fact that she doesn't use her power doesn't mean she doesn't have it.

She gets quite a lot of money as a salary, and the only reason she got the job is because someone on her family killed someone else.

And she gets a lot of money from people visiting the palace and all that. She keeps that money, too. It doesn't go to you. And the same people would go to see the palace even if it wasn't a queen there anymore.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 14:39, Reply)

No, she can't dissolve the government
that is ridiculous scaremongering. If she attempted to dissolved the government the first thing that would happen would be that the monarchy would be deposed quicker than you can blink.

It may be written in an old lawbook that she can technically use those powers, but the reality of the situation is that she can't.

No, the reality of the situation is that she wouldn't
Because she'd be deposed. But she can.

You don't know how things will be in a few years, and someone who you didn't choose at all has a lot of power in her hands.

My point is that you seem not to be too bother about it all. You don't think you're daft for having a goverment like that.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 14:46, Reply)

actually legally
it is understood that the Queen cannot choose not to sign a law into existence

Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 15 Apr 2010, 14:42, Reply)

I don't know everything about English laws
So, what would happen if she didn't want to sign a new law?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 14:57, Reply)

She doesn't have a choice.
She is just a ceremonial figurehead for the government. The "powers" that she has are just a leftover way of letting the monarchy remain and save a bit of face while being effectively made useless as heads of state.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:01, Reply)

So, in the case that
things in the country are getting messy, people is very unhappy, there is a big crisis (not like this one, a proper one) and she decides not to sign a law or dissolve the goverment, do you think nobody would follow her? Do you think it wouldn't start a civil war, as it's happened in so many places? Who is she and why her?

Besides, I think it's unfair that she gets paid for being the daughter of her father.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:05, Reply)

Well you can think it's as unfair as you like
but you're deliberately coming up with doomsday scenarios like a tinfoil hat wearing weirdo. If you really hate it, can I suggest moving to a country where she isn't the head of state. It's a bit odd getting worked up about a ceremonial figurehead when we have quite blatent problems with corruption in the actual government which need to be addressed long before you get into the Monarchy/Republic debate.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:08, Reply)

^ this
if you don't like it, you don't have to live here. I'm not even a monarchist and I still think it's important to keep them. She has no actual power, and I'd be much more worried about the corrupt MPs who actually govern us
(

Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:12, Reply)

So my point is proven
You have to live in another country if you don't want to serve the Queen. Fair enough. In that case, you are not choosing your goverment, you see?

(I don't mind the Queen, I was trying to prove BGB and Al wrong)
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:15, Reply)

But the queen is not the governement
you are wrong in that assertion.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:18, Reply)

She's the head of your goverment
and the head of your church.

Legally, she has those powers.

Anyway, it's not important. We could be discussing about this all day. We both think we're right, so at least we agree there.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:20, Reply)

(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:31, Reply)

Don't take it so badly
It all comes from BGB saying that at least we can choose our goverment, and I don't think it's true.

Personally I have no problems with her, and if most people is happy with the system, that's perfect. The problem is that there is no way to prove that people is happy with the system, because you're never asked about it.

I could say that having such a devotion for just a person, who is well known and rich thanks to centuries of blood, is more than a bit daft, but ey, I'm not here to judge anyone.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:13, Reply)

I don't have a particular devotion to the queen
this started off as a joke comment about you coming form Spain and criticising our head of state, but you then started saying she was in some way the most powerful figure in the government, and that is simply not true in the real world.

And finally, at least the queen actually exists and evidence of her existence can be presented.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:17, Reply)

Yep
I could still think it's daft to serve her, couldn't I?

And you don't get to choose your goverment.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:18, Reply)

we don't serve her
and we have a democratic system where a government is elected
(

Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:20, Reply)

Again
She's the head of the goverment and the church. She represents you in front of the rest of the world.

Otherwise, why are you paying her? What are her duties?

As I just said to Al, we'll never agree.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 15 Apr 2010, 15:22, Reply)

We won't agree because you won't accept the fact
that your argument is incorrect. We can choose our government, you may have noticed a lot of coverage of an upcoming election. That's how we choose our government. That's the reality. The queen may be the head of state, but it is a purely ceremonial role.

You're saying that the religious are trying to get you to live the way they do, you're acting like the religion is forcing you into war.
I would say it's the people in power who are forcing the people to go to wars and suffer, and sometimes they do it in the name of religion. Not a single religion advocates the atrocities done it's name, it's the corruption of the religion that leads to such things. If I killed a family and told the world I did it in your name, would you just accept that, and accept responsibility for that? Exactly, so why should religion do the same?

Well
I've grown up in a Catholic country, and since before I can remember, went to Church, went to a Catholic school and had to pray to God at least 5 times a day.

However, I was never asked to go to war. And I never tried to convince anyone to join the club.

What atrocities have religion advocated?
Personally, I agree, state over religion, any day of the week, but I don't say religion should be dismissed as a cause of war. In fact, I'd say religion is quite against that sort of thing.

Mankind will always find ways of grouping and fighting with itself. There are people who just want to fight, both for reasons of creating a bond with their fellow fighters/football team/country/whatever, and just simply for narcersectic reasons.

It may have been intergral in the past when we all believed the flippin earth was flat but now we are fully aware how stupid the concept of a divine being is.

at least not anywhere near as much as it is bandied about.

people
didn't really have the time or the interest to ponder on whether the earth was flat. Your average peasant's world was bounded by his master's land, the concept of oceans and foreign countries was pretty much meaningless to them let alone whether the world was flat

I enjoyed discussing with the nuns at school
They would say that we can't use condoms, or play with human eggs, or abort because that would be going against Gog's plans.

I used to replay with 3 questions:

1.- Then, why do you allow ill people to go to the doctor, if God's plan is for them to be sick and die?

2.- Don't you think that God, being so powerful and all that, has already count on his plan that we were going to be doing these things?

3.- How does God's plan go with all the wars and killings approved by the Church?

They would reply as the politics and answer with non related bullshit.
