Its time to start acting like a country.To have are own voted representatives, not someone born into the position from another country. Its time to clear house and hand out some pink slips, no severance. Boot the bitch out. Long live Canada.

Fcuk the Queen, Down with Monarchy, the only thing it symbolizes aside greed, is total enslavement.

Comment on The Queen as Symbol by James

Of course the Queen is symbolic of the United Kingdom. The rest of your statement, Mikail, is pure bunk; Elizabeth II is very obviously a symbol of other nations on earth (I don’t, however, know of any off of earth). This gets us back to the central issue of symbolism: it is not just monarchists who see the Queen as a personification of the state, the government does as well; from the Department of Canadian Heritage: “In our constitutional monarchy the sovereign personifies the state and is the personal symbol of allegiance, unity and authority for all Canadians.” Obviously this concept makes the Queen similar to a flag in the sense that she acts as a symbol, but the difference between the two lies in what kind of symbols they are. One is inanimate and soulless, while the other is a living being that we can speak to and who can answer us back. She also, unlike a flag or some other such thing, has a role in our governance – in fact, she is the governor – and when Canadians look at her they can be reminded that they have, and have had, a stable state and continuous government. She is also specific; when one says “The Queen”, everyone knows exactly what is being talked about. “Canada,” on the other hand, is ill-defined, what does it mean? “Canadians”, similarly, is a vague concept. There are many symbols of Canada, we all know, I’m sure, what they are. But for the purposes of symbolism she serves, the Queen is the best fit. Let beavers and mounties symbolise the country, sure, but when it comes to matters of symbolising the state, a move to anything else would be a move to the inferior.

The Queen has and always will be a symbol of the United Kingdom. Not and never any other nation on earth.
As for those who use the United States as an example of “bad government”, I have one answer: Athens.

Non-stop talking is about using others for attention and approval because of not giving oneself enough attention and approval.

Generally, people who talk too much don’t think before they speak

Comment on Best Science Fiction Movie by psikeyhackr

Of course it can be argued that The Matrix trilogy is better than The Abyss due to greater depth of plot, if not water, but The Abyss contained some real science in it so it wins on that criterion.

PS – There were no comments in two years so I figured you needed two.
