I don't care and I'm not going to watch it. What spoiled brats do with other people's money doesn't concern me.
i sense an envy filled response here
what is it that causes you to describe the couple as "spoiled brats"
I remember reading an online article about some anarchist saying that they were going to disrupt the wedding. I'm thinking to myself, that'd be great. All you would prove is that you are an asshole.
I don't ency them. My response is that I believe it's wrong for them to live like they do at the taxpayers expense and essentially do nothing to merit it. I call them spoiled brats because they are.
I hope this happens. I would support their actions 100%, dont really care if they come off as "assholes" they are just gonna do what people wish would happen and prove a very strong point.
well, there you have it. air tight proof that they are actually "brats"
no way could the green eyed monster be responsible for your unkind characterization [/sarcasm]
Are you going to debate or just accuse me of being jealous? I dislike them for their use of public funds and the fact that they are a drain to the UK taxpayers. It angers me that they suck up the funds of the public to live a lavish life simply for being born.

I have no interest whatsoever in 'the Royal Wedding' (why should I; The people concerned are not my friends, and I have never met them,) and I would rather be sold for medical experiments than watch the event on the idiot box.
However, the assumption that they are 'spoiled brats' is not substantiated at any level.
First off, Prince William at 29, is 12 years older than me, and nearly middle-aged, and Kate Middleton is not much younger, so they could hardly be described as 'brats' (i.e: children).
Secondly, Williams father, Prince Charles, is one of the wealthiest men in Britain, and, as the Duke of Cornwall, is in receipt of the income from the Duchy of Cornwall - a well managed estate that covers over 54,000 hectares. His offspring are not maintained by the British public, but by his private fortune.
The Civil List is received by the Monarch to pay for the maintenance of the Royal Palaces, The Guards, the Household Cavalry, travel and the entertaining of foreign dignitaries, etc. It is not used for Royal Weddings.
I would not swap places with William, or his brother. They have had a terrible life - torn between their mother and father - and everything they do or say appears in the tabloids. They may have a number of what we may consider privileges and luxuries, but they have no lives of their own.
I do not envy them one bit. I consider myself much more fortunate. I come from a middle class family who is comfortably off. I am getting a good education, and I will pursue a professional career of my own choosing when I complete my formal education. I will be free to love and marry who I choose, and nobody other than my immediate family and friends will make a judgement on my choice of partner. I am a metaphorical King compared to William and Harry.
So no, I will not be taking any interest in the Royal Wedding. :mrgreen:

Thanks for all the info. It would make sense that such a family with all their influence would have a personal fortune...
I also agree. I wouldn't want their lives... the boys have had a difficult life, but William seems like a good guy so far.
You are wrong. The Royal Family brings in a significant profit to the Uk. In return for an annual stipend, every monarch since Geroge the III has voluntarily chosen to give up all profits from the royal lands they won. The monarchy gets paid 40 million pounds vs the 210 million pounds from crown lands that goes to the government. Net profit, 170 million pounds. That doesn't even get into the extra money the monarchy brings in as part of the 7 billion pound per year tourism to GB.
Do you care?
Will you watch it?
what people? Other assholes?
A ton of people in the UK that absolutly dislike the Royal Family. My step grandfather was from Whales and he tells me stories about how people disagree with the Royal Family and really do not care about them. Especially how the people of Britain provide for them, and now this garbo of a weeding.
So. A ton of people dislike Obama in America. That doesn't mean we need to wish harm upon him or his family. It really solves absolutely nothing to make some sort of idiotic statement through violence at a wedding. It just makes the position look weak and desperate.
