The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England

[Al B. Sure!]

It gets better.

There is talk in the UK of ammending the succession law so that Catholics and first born daughters with younger brothers can take the throne. OK, fine.

Thing is, the Queen is sort of important for all the other countries for which she is also the Queen. The Brits want the backing of all of them, but especially Canada (for some reason, maybe the largest, the oldest, etc).

Here's the hitch. It's in our Constitution that 'the Office of the Queen' requires unanimous assent of all provinces as well as Parliament to make changes to. Trick is there is this one province...

Ohh, boy. This could get good.

Monarchies

And what kind of Constitution requires unanimous assent to change it? That wasn't well-thought out.

[notyoueither]

Only certain things require unanimous provincial agreement. 'The Office of the Queen/King' being one.

Others require 7 of 10 provinces with 50% of the population.

Others can be changed by Parliament alone, or a province alone.

1974 and I was getting prepped to go to Saigon. Ya punk kid.


I didn't watch the video, but England is a country. I don't need a video, serious or not, to tell me.

damn, your old

Why would they let a Catholic be head of the Church of England? That would be like a Muslim Pope.

[notyoueither]

That's a good question. I'd venture a guess that the proponents of change don't feel the position as the head of the Church is that important.

[notyoueither]

I can see it. The person in the position is not nearly as important as the institution.

Oh, i'm sure you all understood every part

Doc, you are low functioning. You shouldn't be surprised that it is quite simple to other people. Then again, I guess you should be.

Do you ever say anything good about people?

[DaShi]

I just try to be honest.

[Egbert]

No doubt, Ku Klux Klansmen quite honestly believe they are doing the right thing hanging a black person upside down in tree and painting him white. Not exactly good manners, hanging people in trees and all that. "Trying to be honest" does have its limitations.

[NoodleNaught]

What were you going to Saigon in 1974 for?

The US pulled out in 72 or did no-one tell you that?

[Docfeelgood]

75

[NoodleNaught]

75? You talking about the Saigon evacuation?

That's a ridiculous analogy. You should feel ashamed for even thinking you were being clever with it.

What you just said is ridiculous.
