The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England

75? You talking about the Saigon evacuation?

the pull out. Am I wrong? the last military.

[Egbert]

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

Of course it is a ridiculous analogy, and not clever. It was just as ridiculous as your assertion that you were "trying to be honest".

The United States abandoned South Vietnam in 72. By 73 the only American troops in Vietnam were used to guard the American embassy, and other such buildings and were no longer used to fight the North Vietnam army.

In 75 during the fall of Saigon the US deployed a imited number of troops around thier embassy while evacuating thier embassy personal and the rich South Vietnamesse.

So now you're calling me a liar. Oh well, I don't really care. At least you admit that you are ridiculous. Maybe you'll start to become a bit more interesting on this forum rather than just KH's goldfish poop.

Operation Frequent Wind. It was a pretty big operation. I don't know the numbers but it was a joint operation.

sounds like me after eating a big curry.

[C0ckney]

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.

this is one of more thorny issues surrounding the change.

in fact everyone agrees that allowing a catholic succession and giving female heirs equality would be a good thing, but the practicalities are complicated and require a lot of working out. it's a bit like house of lords reform, nigh on everyone agrees that something should be done, but do it in a way that doesn't mess everything up and create a worse situation is the hard part.

As NYE pointed out earlier, changing the rules would be very difficult, if not impossible, here.

Ditching the monarchy altogether is bound to come up.

[C0ckney]

could you explain a little more the reasons for that in canada?

[Wezil]

Reasons for?

Hard to change or ditching?

[C0ckney]

yeah sorry, i meant hard to change.

but...while you're there, you might as well tell me about whether canadians would consider ditching the monarchy. my understanding is that a majority support the current arrangements, no?

1) Any significant Constitutional change is difficult here. Not only by requirements (NYE listed earlier) but because it will inevitable involve the "Quebec issue". The requirements are tough because getting provincial agreement on anything more than more money for the provinces is like herding cats. The Quebec thing comes up anytime the Constitution is mentioned. "While we're at it..." sort of stuff.

2) I'm not sure what the polls are like on the royalty issue. I suspect they would be divided. The problem as I see it is more related to point 1) above. If we are going to go through that kind of grief, going the next step and enacting a significant change (ie no monarchy) would certainly have to be considered.
