    Does the Royal family unequally separates people into classes based on hereditary and not according to natural law?

    God bless Brenda!! Isn't she doing well huh? so she wants us to be “connecting cultures” does she? As I remember it we “shared” a lot of our culture with the guys from Argentina-land back in 1982 and some of our technology too.....

    we would only be too happy to come down to the South Atlantic and do some more “sharing” again. You only got to say the word... or try and invade the falklands again.

    I like the Queen. She shows you how a dignified apolitical head of state can be great for a country.

    She's significantly better than Spain King who just goes around begging the Argentinians for things... no dignity.

    Shame the Argentinians don't have that luxury... they've got Mafia-ghoul as their head of state.

    A nanny with incontinence is your ideal of luxury? She should be in a geriatric home mate. Ge’ off mate

    @9 The Queen actually is a dignified old lady, as compared to KFC who just looks like one. She's performed her services magnificently for many countries and led a lot of them into prosperity. She oversaw the dismantling of the empire, into many prosperous states. Even in times of global adversity we still have a relatively stable economy, something other places would dream of.

    She's not like Kim Jong Il, KFC, Hitler, Nestor, Galtieri, Pol Pot, Peron, Mao, Stalin... as she didn't destroy her country in which she lived in some attention-whoring expansionist ideology.

    @9 You'd better hope she doesn't have incontinence. I think she has a certain place in the south-eastern part of South America to shower it on. POOP!!

    @12

    Jealous eh? We have a queen and you have a president that looks like the back end of a bus.

    God Save The Queen; a marvellous lady and servant of our glorious Commonwealth.

    Dream on RG Land...

    @14 I'd rather have our 'german' queen any day of the week, than your self-serving mafia ghoul president.

    At least our queen brought a return to peace and prosperity following WWII. All your Nestor family presidency has brought you is lies and poverty.

    Suck it up, Nazi-boy.

    Were you raped by the SS? That might explain your obsession with them.

    @18 Look, it's not my fault that you're not in tune with your country's heritage. I think if you look carefully you can see Peron on the left.

    Here's another movie about members of Fatty-tub-tub Nestor Jr's “Le Camping” after they resurrected their leader who was kept frozen in antarctica (http://youtu.be/tLW-6OU1EUo)
