Please elucidate.

Social fabric is very important to be sure, but if you follow that argument to its logical conclusion nothing would ever change! You could argue Benjamin Franklin and George Washington contributed to the destruction of social norms when they helped instigate a rebellion.

Tradition is fine - it provides a link to the past and it adds colour and meaning to the present, but it has to be relevant to have that meaning. If it starts to get in the way it should be reformed.

While I have never been admitted to hospital for labor, I do admit to laboring in a hospital. Somebody had to clean that mess up.

Well then you must be very comfortable with this move to have pederasty become socially normal and accepted.
I think you are wrong and this type of “change” unlike a rebellion for more freedom in society is unhealthy and UNacceptable.
There must be standards or norms for a society to be peaceful, productive and moral. If not you have chaos.
Sorry but this kind of change you think is natural for a society to evolve is nothing but evil.

"No, it's because the reign of Queen Anne (who was Queen in 1708) came at the beginning of the modern constitutional monarchy, and the constitutional conventions that the monarch would only intervene to preserve the forms of the British constitution."

Its probably worth pointing out that the bill she refused to sign was a Scottish Militia Bill, and that she refused to sign it only on the advice of her own ministers, who feared, not without justification, that any militia formed would provide the backbone of any Jacobite rebel army that might arise in the future. It is interesting to speculate what would happen if her Government gave her similar advice in future in the face of the will of Parliament.

Thats a straw man argument. Just because I think that change is and should happen doesn't neccesarily mean that I endorse all proposed changes. I just object to change being dismissed solely because it is change. That level of adherence to tradition is frankly unhealthy. In fact it will stagnate society just as efficiently as the antics of the homosexual mafia. As for "unlike a rebellion for more freedom in society" - are you seriously suggesting that a revolution has to be violent in order to be valid?

Agreed there has to be standards and norms for a society to be peaceful, productive and moral. But they dont have to be exactly the same standards and norms all the time.

I think that defining an end to gender based primogeniture as "evil" is very much over the top.

I see your “straw an agreement” and raise you two...
First - no where is there a statement that any change is bad. Endorsement of homosexuality as normal by making “gay marriage” legitimate is EVIL! It is change we cannot live with.
Second - again, NO where was there a statement that changing gender based primogeniture was “evil”. I really don’t care, quite frankly.
Seems to me your response was purposefully obtuse or you just don’t read very well.

Wow, I had no idea.

That seems so communist!

Both the UK and Canada have socialized medical treatment. The Brits were smart enough to preserve part of the private sector; the Canadians killed it.

ObamaCare is the kiss of death for American medical care and things are getting worse as it implements.

Sorry. I didnt read too well.
