That's right, you are not a British citizen, but can't you have the decency to show sympathy to people who are? The British are subjects, not citizens, and I cannot respect that. And I do not respect multi-generational welfare families. I don't know why the British people allow the monarchy to continue. I can't even fathom it.
And if you bow to no one I assume you are an atheist.
Well, no mortal human, at least.

We are citizens, and have been designated as such for quite some time. Besides, you're distaste is based on nomenclature. People may be called "subjects" but does that mean Charles was using ius primus nocte on his typing pool? Of course not. Being a royal in Britain is to be in the most scrutinised position in your life. You can't even go down to the pub and have a quiet drink and not have it reported in the papers. Ask Prince Harry.

If you don't respect multi-generational welfare families, how the heck can you be proud of Texas?
You've been supporting generations of Bush folks, not too mention many others.
P.S. To many Brits, "subject" means close to "part owner".
P.S. I'd much rather have a beer with Ivan than be in the same gene pool as the crass whiner you are.
