Hanshithispantz Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Booing God Save The Queen immediately after her death is the same as booing a minutes silence like, it’s proper weird. EDIT: The same as booing a minute silence for the Queen I mean. Edited September 11, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would. Booing a dead person, regardless of all the horrendous stuff her and her family represent, is pretty different imo. Keep it out of organised events like sport and let people mourn on their own time if that’s how they feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I’d have to seriously question anyone who respects this country right now. You can respect certain institutions and people but if you’re going off the current government and its general trajectory or the monarchy you’d have to be mental or have deep pockets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get a lieu day for the Tibetan day of the dead I'll take it. If I work and I'm not supposed to ie if I ignore it and work when I'm not supposed to there's a good chance I'd be arrested and quite possibly end up inside due to the peculiarities of my job Edited September 11, 2022 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Taking this to it's logical conclusion I shouldn't use cash because its got the queen's head on, I should leave the country because technically I'm her subject, I should work every Sunday (it's already in my working week) because of its religious connotations and I'm an atheist.....should I go on ?

Kid Icarus Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) The arguments I'm seeing all have a reoccurring theme. That having no respect for the queen and monarchy is self-loathing, it's a lack of respect for your country, you shouldn't boo your national anthem. Just completely missing the point that to people who have no respect for the monarchy, the national anthem, and that type of national identity, the idea of it having anything to do with yourself doesn't exist. There's no connection with it, it's alienating and plays no part in any national identity or pride. Edited September 11, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Just now, The Prophet said: I don't have much respect for my country though. I view, or rather don't, the country in more abstract terms. Either way its hard to be proud of or not be proud of is it geographical or social ? Are we any different to say the French just in a different geographical setting ? Have I not got more in common with a Mechanic in Toulouse than I have with Prince Charles ?

It’s human nature to want to belong to something, but I’d much rather it be something that I’ve chosen for myself than the bit on a map that I just happened to be born in.
