God save the German Queen who rules over England

a reply to: Jesuslives4u

I don't believe I have insulted you so perhaps you could answer me?

How many generations must a family live in a country before they are considered nationals then?

Based on your logic then a large number of the USA are not americans are they? as most have been there for less time than our current royal family who have been here since 1840.

(and No I am not a royalist be happy to the see the back of them)

Are all the British of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi origin not British but rather Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi?

What about those of Afro-Caribbean or African origins?

My Grandparents were Irish, so am I less British and now deemed Irish?

You Sir are a bigot.
What a fine example of your religion you appear to be.

Could I enquire your nationality please?

couldn't of put it better

This is how the silent majority in Scotland celebrates.

In what manner are they silent?

Are you saying the dictator has no German relatives in her past?

How is the queen of England a dictator over the UK??
Last I saw there was a Parliamentary Constitution and a Prime Minister.
And didn't Scotland just have a free vote to either stay or leave the UK?

Awww man be nice to the OP, okay he got it wrong, and wrong again and well errmm wrong again. But putting aside the issue about whether the royals are British or not, he did also state his belief that they are a waste of tax payers money, etc. Perhaps we could also discuss his other points as oppose to just focusing on the things that were not factually correct.

forget these wannabe monarchs who parade around in diamonds and jewels. A waste of tax payers money! Turn Buckingham palace into a retirement home for the needy. Return all property that you have stolen from other nations.

I say we start with England first!

a reply to: FlyersFan

Well technically the Prime Minister upon election does have to ask the queens permission to form a government... Hang on, dont diss me just yet.. i may need to check that fact, lol

Edit to add, okay i checked it, she does have to give her approval so to speak.

London, England (CNN) -- The days of discussions have ended, demands issued, concesssions made and a decision finally reached -- but even before they formed a government, the UK's political parties must wait for approval from one more person: The queen.

It's going to be a loooong day on ATS today.

Amen bud. Keep the wings cool, it may be sunny today too.

Saxe-Covert-Goethe.. Hmmm. Gotta break that down for
bloodline. I think with the Stewarts and Sinclairs being
pretty much out of the running, it still DOESN"T MATTER.
As they say, possession is nine tenths of the law. And I
saw the portraits of Al and Nick.. you know, that last guy
that got shot by the Bolsheviks.
They could be twins: and it still DOESN"T MATTER.
What matters is, they're there because you like them.

So you called the Scots brainwashed and now your starting on the Queen and being Anglophobic in the process.

As others have said, the Queen was born in England and may have a German ancestry dating back to the Hanover s in George 1st reign, and your point is.........

Your Avatar misrepresents your true intentions, you and your actions are not Christian, you are a wolf in Sheep's clothing. You're antagonistic to the extreme and bring your religious beliefs into every thread. You are a hindrance to your beliefs and your religion as its folk like you that are no better that those ISIS fundamentalist.

You say that god will take care of the poor and the sick, and yet in the last 2000 years or so, he's done a pretty bad job of it, with millions in Africa starving to death each year. If your god does exist and he's allowed all this to happen, then Id rather take my chances with our Queen. In fact, instead of spouting your constant drivel on ATS, why don't you go and help the needy and poor in your local community, find out what real Christianity is about and work in a Soup Kitchen.

You and people like you are the reason why people are leaving Christianity in their droves, because you all say one thing and do another, and apart from copying and pasting biblical scripture on threads all day, does not get you a ticket to heaven. I hope your god has a special place for folk like you that use his name in vain.

To other Christian members, I apologise for the rant, but its directed at the OP and others like Westboro Church mentality that has diddlysquat to do with the teachings of your messiah.

I placed the following info in another thread for the OP, but as they never returned to the thread and its now been shut down, here's some information for those of you who are not sure what the Powers of the British Monarch are;


Political Powers

The Queen’s political powers nowadays are largely ceremonial, though some are actively used by The Queen such as at General Elections or are available in times of crisis and some are used by Ministers for expediency when needed.

Summoning/Proroguing Parliament

The Queen has the power to prorogue (suspend) and to summon (call back) Parliament – prorogation typically happens at the end of a parliamentary session and the summoning occurs shortly after, when The Queen attends the State Opening of Parliament.

Royal Assent

It is The Queen’s right and responsibility to grant assent to bills from Parliament, signing them into law. Whilst in theory she could decide to refuse assent, the last Monarch to do this was Queen Anne in 1708.

Secondary Legislation

The Queen can create Orders-in-Council and Letters Patent which regulate parts to do with the Crown, such as precedence, titles. Orders in Council are often used by Ministers nowadays to bring Acts of Parliament into law.

Appoint/Remove Ministers

Her Majesty also has the power to appoint and remove Ministers of the Crown.

Appointing the Prime Minister

The Queen is responsible for appointing the Prime Minister after a general election or a resignation, in a General Election The Queen will appoint the candidate who is likely to have the most support of the House of Commons. In the event of a resignation, The Queen listens to advice on who should be appointed as their successor.

Declaration of War

The Sovereign retains the power to declare war against other nations, though in practice this is done through the Prime Minister and Parliament of the day

Freedom From Prosecution

Under British law, The Queen is above the law and cannot be prosecuted – she is also free from civil action.

Judicial Powers

The Queen’s judicial powers are now very minimal and there is only really one which is used on a regular basis, with others having been delegated to judges and parliament through time.

Royal Pardon

The Royal Pardon was originally used to retract death sentences against those wrongly convicted. It is now used to correct errors in sentencing and was recently used to give a posthumous pardon to WW2 codebreaker, Alan Turing.

Armed Forces

The Queen’s powers in the Armed Forces are usually used on the advice of Generals and Parliament, though some functions are retained by The Queen herself nowadays.

Commander-in-Chief

The Queen is commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces and all members swear an oath of allegiance to The Queen when they join; they are Her Majesty’s Armed Forces.

Commissioning of Officers

The Queen’s powers include the commissioning of officers into the Armed Forces and also removing commissions (when members of the Armed Forces salute and officer, they are saluting The Queen’s commission).


Disposition of the Forces

The organisation and disposition of the Armed Forces are part of the Royal Prerogative; the crown technically controls how the Armed Forces are used.

Honours

One of the main prerogative powers that are still used personally by The Queen these days is the power to grant honours. As all honours derive from the Crown, The Queen has the final say on knighthoods, peerages and the like.

Creation of Peerages

The Queen may create a peerage for any person – whether a life peerage or hereditary one, though hereditary peerages haven’t been issued for decades outside of the Royal Family.

Font of Honour

It is The Queen’s prerogative power to create orders of knighthood and to grant any citizen honours. From the Royal Victorian Order to the Order of the Garter.


Miscellaneous Powers
Other powers Her Majesty holds include:

Control of Passports

The issuing and withdrawal of passports are within the Royal Prerogative – this is often used by ministers on behalf of The Queen. All British passports are issued in The Queen’s name.

Requisitioning of Ships

This power allows a ship to be commandeered in Her Majesty’s name for service to the realm. This power was used on the QE2 to take troops to the Falklands after the Argentine invasion in 1982.

But if you haven't understood the role of Scottish religious differences in this campaign & why Queen Elisabeth was wheeled out by the British establishment then you're a lost soul.

Can you provide a source to when and how the Queen was "Wheeled Out" as far as I am concerned she was extremely quiet on the whole affair and the only reported thing she said was last Sunday to a member of the Public when asked about the referendum and that was "I hope the Scottish think very carefully about the referendum vote"

a reply to: Jesuslives4u

I appreciate Your reply. I'd also agree that any 'war', religious or not, is counter-productive and nothing is gained. I AM responding to this after reading Your newer thread re: threads being pulled or comments removed by ATS™ and You opine that there may be a bias.

If You could answer/reply like You've done here, I don't believe there would be a problem. You addressed 'My Beef' with religion™ with an answer that You felt fit best, one of the purposes of a forum such as this.. You have to also remember that this site attracts folks of ALL ethnicities/religions™/philosophies and a World-Wide audience. "Some" may also be practicing a religion™ that predates Chris†inanity by 1,000s of years, could You understand how they 'may' take offense/offence to find out on 'the web' that they aren't going to Heaven because their 'Messenger' had passed on 1,000 years before Jesus did His first bathroom remodel..

Remember the 3 topics to avoid in "polite conversation" Sex, politics and religion™ I only mention this because an agnostic liberal lesbian may be reading what it is You're trying to convey.. It would also behoove any "missionary" but We must begin somewhere...

ALL the religions™ are 'different' that makes them the 'same'. Remove what is the 'same' in ALL, and 'TheTruth' will be revealed. Why not be ALL the religions™?

So, I thank You (the "other Me") and to participate in the whole 'quid pro quo' of an inter web message board I leave You with a poem by the great Sufi, Hafiz "Would You Think It Odd..." (paraphrasing.. "dealer's choice")

Would You think it odd if Hafiz said,
"I'm in Love with every Church,
and with every Mosque,
and with every Synagogue,
and with every Temple,
and any kind of Shrine,
because it is there that I hear ALL the different names of The One God...."

Each "Self" has a 'direct link' with TheCreator. This link has actually "increased". This is what the Maya Prophecy warned Us about. 'Many' saw an end. 'Some' (awakened) saw a beginning. "The Beginning of a New Era". So along with religion™ taking a dump, so will politics™ and the military™ or anything "Yang based-patriarchal" The evidence is particularly STRONG in another patriarchal society SPORTS. The evidence of Yang vs. Yin as it deals with domestic violence is just the start. What has happened in sports to believe 'Yin' has arrived? ALL a series of 3s.
#1) Daytona 500: Polesitter- Danica Patrick
#2) Mixed Martial Arts, (YANG personified) first time in PrimeTime, first time on a Network Affiliate "BigShot": Headliner: Rhonda Rouse
#3) Little League World Series, where world leader's played when they were BOYS: Star- Mo'ne Davis...

Now wait until 'more' discover "Lilith" What will happen to 'The Rule Book' then? If the beginning is 'untrue' what about the rest?

Thanks again, it appears that I've gone off on a tangent (again) Remember Rule #2) What someOne thinks about You is none of Your business...

So educate yourself before trying tell lies.

Are you saying the dictator has no German relatives in her past?

Most U.S. Presidents have had British relatives and British gene pools.

Does that make them British ?
