Well I'm still loving living in England... Then again I haven't really left England. Went to France once and it just reinforced my belief I should stay in England...

Pretty much. Not seen much point in having a Royal Family these days. Especially since if you're the King or Queen you supposedly have "Divine Blood"... Perhaps if we drink their blood we also become Divine!

 

I do like it as part of our history but they don't really do much. I did find it funny that they were doing that plea for people to stop poaching then went on a hunting trip. That plan can't backfire... Can it?

 

Parts of the Royal Families are pretty cool like the Black Prince who killed the French Noblemen and Knights with lowborn peasants.Too bad he died a year before he was made King. Henry VII and Richard III were the last Kings to ride out and face each other in English history. Richard III saw Henry VII was openly exposed and attempted to end the War at Bosworth Field but Henry VII managed to defeat Richard III and even when Richard III was offered a chance to flee he didn't take it and fought to the end. Richard III's Standard Bearer held the Yorkist banner high even when he had his legs removed and kept it high until he was hacked to death.

The Royal Family doesn't do anything any more. Although I am glad Britain made reforms so that their military is commanded by those with experience not those of "Noble" families.

I enjoy the ideals of the US, I am patriotic but only in the sense that I will never abandon my countrymen (move to another country simply because I do not like what is happening here). I also have the idea that anyone who accepts the ideals of what America was founded on is an American citizen in my eyes.

FYI: The royal family is half German and half Scot. The English royal line ended with Elizabeth 1st. She had Mary Queen of Scots executed and her son (James) put in tower of London. When she died it turned out James was first in line to the throne, so he was crowned; his first action was to imprison all his guards from when he was in the tower of london.

You really chose a bad country to check your convictions against there mate oO

I also have the idea that anyone who accepts the ideals of what America was founded on is an American citizen in my eyes.

Just remember that it isn't unpatriotic to hate your government and want to affect change. Love of ones country's ideals and people is patriotism, love of a country in its entirety is nationalism; that's the path that leads to Stalin, Hitler, Kim Jong Whatsit etc etc
 
“Nationalism and patriotism both show the relationship of an individual towards his or her nation. The two are often confused and frequently believed to mean the same thing. However, there is a vast difference between nationalism and patriotism.
 
Nationalism means to give more importance to unity by way of a cultural background, including language and heritage. Patriotism pertains to the love for a nation, with more emphasis on values and beliefs.
 
When talking about nationalism and patriotism, one cannot avoid the famous quotation by George Orwell, who said that nationalism is ‘the worst enemy of peace’. According to him, nationalism is a feeling that one’s country is superior to another in all respects, while patriotism is merely a feeling of admiration for a way of life. These concepts show that patriotism is passive by nature and nationalism can be a little aggressive.”

Well. Umm. Patriotism. Well.

 

Being English, Scottish and Italian, I think I have to pick sides......

 

SO LETS TALK ABOUT LONDON! Cause no one else has lel.

 

So I did some Work Experience in the Tower of London. Because I am cool and history is cool and so is the Tower. So  I spent two weeks there, one in the White Tower and another in the Jewel House. And let me tell you, our history is certainly eccentric. 

 

So in the White Tower, the home of kings, on the first floor The Line of Kings. A shit ton of Armor. SO Henry 8 has the most eccentric Codpiece in the armory. A gold gilded codpiece. Yeah. Adding to that there is a set of Gold Armor. Nailed it. Adding to that we also have a massive long sword, which you may notice as the inspiration as the Solus Greatsword from Fable. A Flaming Greatsword. Nailed it. 

 

SECOND FLOOR! Well we have the Kings Bedroom where William the Conqueror used to sleep. WE ARE SO COOL, that instead of just having anyold pillars to hold up the ceiling, we have the MASTS from old ENGLISH SHIPS! NAILED IT. (These mast were also used as shelving at one point.) Just past the Bedroom on the SAME FLOOR, there is a Chapel. THE CHAPEL OF ST JOHN. And this Chapel was desgined and built by a monk called GANDALF(Gandalb) YEAH! FUCK YOU SWEDEN! This Chapel is one of the last Romanesque buildings in London. SO NAILED IT. Now we move onto the Armory on the same floor. We HAVE A MASSIVE BOOK. A MASSIVE OLD BOOK. A Joust and Swords set up as if to look like the Game of Thrones. NAILING IT. And then theres bunch of stuff we stole from the other countrys and shit. Skip that bit. NOT ENGLISH ENOUGH. So then we come to the best bit of the Armory.

 

3 guns. A Dimond encrusted Pistol, and Jewel Encrusted pistol and a Gold Plated pistol. As well as anothr Golden pistol and a Golden SMG. 

All ordered by people in North London. Nailed it.

 

Top floor. We have a Dragon. Fuck you all. That is all.

 

Basement. Cannons, cannons, cannons. TO BLOW THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY WITH!

NAILED IT.

 

So then we are done with the White Tower. We move onto the Jewel House.

 

23 thousand Diamonds in the Jewel House alone. Nailed it. So we have a 5000 diamond encrusted sword, The oldest spoon in the country, 9 Maces, the two Largest white Diamonds in the world, and some more Golden Cutlery and plates and stuff. And some Crowns. Kings Crowns, Queen Crowns, Prince Crowns, and EMPIRE CROWNS! CAUSE FUCK YOU ALL AGAIN.

 

And then we go onto King George 4s Crown. 23000 thousand in the jewel house. The Crown which isent part of the Jewel House, contains around 12700 diamonds in it. At least half the jewel houses. NAILED IT.

 

And then there is Prisons, The Fusiliers Museum and some other shit.  

 

SO YEAH. PATRIOTISM FROM THE TOWER OF LONDON. FUCK YOU ALL. 

 

(I love you all really. Apart from you Cru. You can go to hell.)

The thread only died in february, so I'd say it wasnt really dead, just sleeping. Dead is like two years old xD 

 

I find myself in a similar boat as Jean though. I want to be a pilot and I love the ideals of America, but boy do I hate the government sometimes. xD 

So I would say I'm close to a Patriot. America is great, but there are a lot of things that need to change, but will only occur through hard work as well as inspiring some hard work in others.

It was dead... Sleeping is what you tell people who are poking around in places they don't belong.

Might as well just leave this here...

 

In a move that will shock the earth to its crusty, molten core. Flash-Gitz will not have a comic out  this week. We’ve contacted the UN and they’ve agreed to give us an extension due to our excellent track-record and this being our first ever delayed comic. The negotiations were tough and many countries had a say before the verdict was reached.  France for instance chose to surrender and retreat; even upon hearing that the comic wasn’t going to show up.  Their reasoning was sound however as they closed with “Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir!” or “Better safe than sorry”.

Russia was difficult as they accused Don of with-holding the comic to create a stir and take attention away from the winter Olympics on account of the fact he is a filthy capitalistic imperialist yankie pig-dog (France took this as an opportunity to re-take the floor  with a snooty “Yeah! What he said” before re-surrendering and retreating again).

America had its own difficulties with the delay of the comic, they suspected the Russians had granted the comic asylum and were hiding it from the USA. The verbal attack only moments prior was simply designed to throw the US off the scent but they gave up pursuing it anyway as soon as they found out the comic contained no oil after all.

Britain, America’s bottom bitch decided this was the time to enter the fray.  After a brief bout of fellatio with its sugar daddy, it declared war on Europe and summoned its vast destroyer fleets. Britain decided to sit back down when it was presented with an atlas showing that it is in fact a part of Europe and reminded that it scrapped all of its destroyers years ago.  Then it raised university tuition fees and kicked in some Middle-Eastern countries to make it feel better about itself. This had nothing to do with the comic but was a brilliant case study on senility.

Germany sat and ate their Bauerwurst  in silence. See Fig.1 below:

Actually necro rules state 2 weeks. I haven't got the archive system (locking old threads) working yet. Basically you can't move or delete archived threads, so I have to finish my forum section overhaul before I turn it on. Necro rule still applies though
