I mean it's completely valid to say America is fat, if you admit it's completely valid to admit that you guys are nationalistic *******s with small **** syndrome over your overrated sports figures that really never accomplish even a tenth as much as you guys play them up to be. And that you still boy to a Monarchy system that has historically consisted of ******. That your country is responsible for the modern woes in most third world countries because of the Empire building you clowns did for so long (and you have the gall to say America is intrusive)- then conveniently left those "colonies" to rot. I could bring up the fact that your foreign policy is essentially "America's *****" for the last oh 20 -30 years or so. I could bring up the small ****ed syndrome that comes about from how hurt you guys are over the loss of your Empire and the loss of being a world power. I could bring up your ugly ****ing dental work.
I COULD bring up all that. But I won't. Because this is supposed to be a boxing board, you ****ing ******s.
Right. Nah, I was just making a point. Of course you being overly sensitive have to take that paragraph as some sort of victory. Again, just laying out some facts on why the trolls are a bit out of control.
im of america on tuesday y the hell can you not drink till your 21 yet drive at the age of 16 and buy a gun at 18?
Don't ask me. It's ****ing ******ed and a lot of us here don't like it. But the ages on some of those used to vary state by state until big brother decided to step in.
Both Queen Elizabeth II and also the Duke of Edinburgh have German ancestors. Prince Philip's mother was Princess Alice of Battenberg, and he is a direct descendant of Queen Victoria through her daughter Princess Alice (who married Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine). Prince Philip spent some time at school in Germany. (See the short biography of Prince Philip)
Prince Philip's four sisters all married Germans and lived in Germany; his last surviving sister Princess Sophie (married to Prince George of Hanover) died in 2003. They were regular visitors to their English relatives; Princess Cecile died, together with her husband and two of their children, in an air accident in 1937, en route to a family marriage in England.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
One of the most famous Germans in the British royal family was Prince Albert, who married the young Victoria in 1840. Prince Albert came from the German duchy of Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha, and the marriage was a deeply affectionate one.
Victoria and Albert's children (they had 9 in total) took on their names and founded the British house of Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha. Their children's marriages meant that the royal family in England were related to the important courts in Germany and Europe. In 1888 their oldest daughter Vicky, who was married to Frederick III, became Empress of Germany. The Queen laid flowers on the tomb of her grand great Aunt, the Empress Frederick, when she visited Potsdam in 1992.
The enthusiasm of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert for the custom of the Christmas tree - a German tradition introduced by George III's wife Queen Charlotte - helped spread its popularity. Soon it found a permanent place in many households throughout England. At Christmas the royal family decorated the tree with sweets, figures, candles and cards that they had been sent. Victoria also observed the tradition of celebrating Christmas on 24th December (in Britain the presents are usually opened on 25th December). Today Queen Elizabeth II and her family still celebrate Christmas by exchanging and opening presents on 24th December.

King George I
The Queen's family connections with Germany go back even further. George Ludwig, Elector of Hanover, ascended to the English throne as King George I in 1714. He spoke mainly German and French, and only a little English. George I visited Hanover regularly in order to carry out his royal duties there, and he died in 1727 during one of his visits. The Queen is a direct descendant of King George.
Ah so you mean German ancestors married in to the current Monarchy. I think i was more referring to the early historical bloodline from the beginning, but I see your point.
Right. Nah, I was just making a point. Of course you being overly sensitive have to take that paragraph as some sort of victory. Again, just laying out some facts on why the trolls are a bit out of control.
You post a long rant like that, I post a smiley, and I'm the overly sensitive one?
