YT2095 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 hey, it wasn`t ME that said it or conceived his idea of "Romance", each to his own I guess. but I can certainly see how Diana might have been somewhat offended/upset upon learning this. kinda makes you wonder what kind of person camila is to accept this kind of talk though! I know if came out with that sort of thing to my own Wife, she`d call me all the dirty ba$t@rds under the sun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coquina Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 I had conveniently forgotten about Charles saying that. Lord, I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall to hear what his Mum had to say to him about it. God knows - with her sons' antics, she must feel like she's herding cat's at times --- tom cats at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 With those ears, you wouldn't need a string. OMG! Did I say that???ROFLOL! Don't mean to take away from the royals, but you reminded me of a comedian I saw last night talking about new NASCAR sponsors now that women are becoming a larger part of the auto racing demographics: "How did you ever get tickets to the Tampax 500?" "Well, I had to pull a few strings...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Personally, i hope they are both happy. Two people love each other and want to marry. Good for them. Why do so many people feel entitled to pass judgement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Rhedd Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Perhaps because they were first "happy" at other people's expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Perhaps because they were first "happy" at other people's expense. How do you, or anyone else know that? Charles and Diana were unhappy. Diana had affairs, Charles had an affair. Then they got divorced. How do you apportion blame? People seem to have the idea that Charles entered the marriage intending to be unfaithful. That seems very unlikely, is not supported by evidence and could only be confirmed by a mind reader. The sad fact is that a lot of marriages breakup, to place all the blame on one person is rarely fair or accurate. In this event the elevation of Diana to a sort of secular sainthood is quite over the top. It was an unhappy marriage, Diana went on the find love with someone else, Now Charles is doing the same thing. I find it extraordinary how judgemental and spiteful people, who really know nothing about the private circumstances of these people, are. Charles had one unhappy marriage, anyone with a mote of human consideration should hope that his second is happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it seems he found it quite some time ago but had a little recognition problem. I have no great emotional investment in whether or not Charles finds happiness. As a American, I am much more concerned that George Bush does not find happiness at everyone else's expense. I find it extraordinary how judgemental and spiteful people, who really know nothing about the private circumstances of these people, are. It's called gossip Aardvark. Why is this thread even continuing? Others contributed to it. You contributed to it. Now I have contributed again. Charles had one unhappy marriage, anyone with a mote of human consideration should hope that his second is happier. I do indeed, but I hope there is not another devastating tsunami even more. However, what I hope will influence neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any particular emotional investment in Charles personal happiness. In the scheme of things it is not of great import. What does disturb me is the spiteful judgemental reaction of so many people. That is worrying and makes me think a little bit less of the human race.

Coral Rhedd Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 People's reactions have to do with how they perceive public figures and whether of not they "like" them. The press does play a role in this. I was hardly aware of Brad and Jen until The New York Times weighed in. It seems that at first the general press thought Jen was a self-interested fool who wasn't ready to have Brad's baby because she was overinvested in her acting career. Then suddenly it was Brad who was the villian because he had been attracted to Angelina Jolie. I tell you, it positively makes my head swim. If this goes on, I may have to start watching television just to know who the real movers and shakers in the world are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, what concerns me is that people imbibe these opinions from the media without any apparent use of intelligent consideration. The media portrays someone in a certain light and people swallow it whole. They accept those opinions completely uncritically and will then attempt to vehemently propogate them. This does make me thing that humans are a herd animal who will think what they are told to think. Perhaps democracy is therefore overrated. Perhaps some form of government by an elite would be preferable? That may seem radical, but my opinion of human judgement just keeps on going down.

Ophiolite Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Charles, the Prince of Wales, is the proxy head of the Church of England. I can't see the Archbishop of Canterbury having any say in the matter. A senior bishop (I don't recall which one) was asked in an interview if it was right that Charles, a divorced person, and destined to be head of the church, should remarry. Th bishop politely pointed out, "Prince Charles when he becomes King will be governor of the Church of England. God is the head of the Church of England."

syntax252 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I guess I have never understood this King and Queen business, but then I don't have to understand it, I am an American and Americans are too smart to worship a King or a Queen. We save our worshipping for baseball players and movie stars. Anyway, just out of curiosity, what exactly does the King or Queen of England actually do for England? I thought Tony Blair was the PM, which seems to be a lot like our President, and the Parliment looks and acts a lot like our congress, so outside of showing up for ceremonies, what is their job? Now please, I am not poking fun at the royal family, Hell we had our Kennedys too, I'm just askin' is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtonian Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 If your going to correct someone Ophiolite,be correct! The reigning monarch is the 'Supreme Governor of the C of E' The symbolic head is the Archbishop of Canterbury. Jesus Christ is the head of the church.He is the only Mediator, High Priest & Head of the Church. The interjection of anyone else between God & man has no biblical basis. " For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus-." (1 Timothy 2:5) I think thats correct:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, the job is ceremonial. To act as a non-partisan figurehead. With a democratically elected head of state you are getting someone who by definition is opposed by a large chunk of the voters. A herditary head of state who does not get involved in politics at all can be seen as a less divisive figure. It's not rational, logical or fair, but in its own way it seems to work.

Newtonian Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Yes,i have had a word and report directly to the flock verbatim.He said and i quote 'Ophiolite had quoted Tiny,and thus preceded to quote his mystery source(which the lord knows is fictitious,he misses nothing)and correct Tiny's statement'. Hey his words not mine!.He went on to say i should not have mentioned Ophiolite and instead just used a quote box.Also to tell Coral that dabbling in the occult to foresee future events is a sin.
