Prince Philip dies at age 99

[Socialist States of Ludistan]

Ah yes, Prince Charles... the 'Red Prince' whose revolutionary march down Whitehall to set up the barricades to initiate the London Commune has been an inspiration to all Marxist-Leninists seeking to overthrow capitalism in the name of the urban proletariat. None of us can forget those amazing days.


What are you smoking?

The Communist Prince, Prince of Marx, A People's King.
All good titles for my new film about the revolutionary communist prince of the UK.

That could actually be an interesting idea for a book/movie.

It exists. It's a miniseries. It was made in 1993. It's blatantly inspired by Charles but never names its King.

Ah yes, let's gather round and pay our respects to the man who lived a life of utter luxury because he was born into a somewhat relevant family and married the right woman.

The world's smallest fucking violin is playing right now.

You are being a degenerate.

[Yi BD]

Shouldn't we pay respects to everyone, regardless of their prestige?

He lived a life with access to amenities and luxury many of us can only dream of -- merely because of who his parents were and who his wife was.

Why pay respects to someone who quite frankly hasn't earned it?

All people deserve respect when they die. You are just being an inconsiderate asshole

No doubt Prince Charles was deeply inspired by Prince Souphanouvong's role in founding the Pathet Lao and overthrowing the Laotian monarchy.

You can't call people "dicks" or any other personal attacks here. Please take a look at our rules.

You really are wrong.
Being an environmentalist does not make one a "leftist".

I mean any attempt to engage with GMS must be firmly grounded in the probable fact that the man's richer than the British royals with none of the humour, sense of duty or charity.

I am not offended, nothing offends me on and off NS, I learned it the hard way on NS. I said, I could be wrong and I apologize to them on this thread. Who are you or anyone to decide my sense of humor, sense of duty, charity or not? I respect the democratic rights of all persons on NS and off NS to post to me and all of us their different views on all issues, there are many on NS and off NS who do not respect the democratic rights of persons to post and express their different views on the issues, I have proven it many times with their own posts. GMS.

We don't understand your English, My English Not Very Good, but they read my posts and respond to them, lol.

For 4 four years we have tried to teach him, we have tried to educate him, he is a F Brick Wall to Talk Too, I told you to put him on ignore, what a coincidence all related to Republican President Donald J Trump of the USA, not even on Cuba my real Pet issue on NS. No one educates any one on their views to fit the their different views, How Dare I do the same to any persons on and off NS to fit my views? GMS.

Meghan's own father reacons that the question was beningly asked out of curiosity (as any other question would be about tje baby's gender, apparence, etc.) and that Meghan misinterpreted it as racism. That's not me talking, that's Meghan's own father

Yes, but if we were making a Lifetime Original Movie about Meghan, we'd probably hire Piers Morgan to play Meghan's father and her father to play Morgan.

go back to twitter to try to a to even dead people for attention.

Doggo, let’s chill, alright?
It’s me, Ludi.

Edited. I assumed it was at the Firth of Fourth which is technically correct but I didn't account for the spelling.

No, the relevant bridges near Edinburgh cross the estuary known as the Firth of Forth; there's no 'technically correct' spelling that turns the River Forth into the River Fourth - unless that was an accidental typo correcting the typo.

Here are the three Forth bridges:



I used to cross the nearest one every day to go to school, so I have some passing familiarity with the Forth bridges - even if there were only two of them in my day.


There is, however, a Firth of Fifth...

I meant that I know of the Firth of Forth from my many hours of uboat simulations and by extension the idea that 'Fourth Bridge' is over the 'Firth of Fourth' rather than literally being the fourth of 4+ bridges. But anyway I admit that I made a booboo on its true name.

There is no justification for such nasty and disrespectful words.

You can't hold a candle to the many amazing things he did throughout his life. He was a legend and institution who did more to help the country and world via humanitarian work than can be put into words. The Prince more than earned respect.

[Old Tyrannia]

Clearly it's the American right-wing media's fault and not people actually having positive opinions of him.

To be clear, I don't mean people who actually have positive opinions of him. I mean the people who want to turn this thread into a screaming match about Harry and Meghan, who want to loudly and publicly tout the greatness of the late Duke, not because they are familiar with the things he achieved in life and feel he earned such laurels, but because the battle lines of their culture war happen to have shifted that way. I don't mean to suggest that all expressions of respect and admiration are insincere, but there is a feel of plastic to some of them.

Well, I actually agree with you on most of that and I don't think dragging up the Sussexes' drama here is really all that respectful of the late Duke of Edinburgh, so I formally withdraw my snark. I hope you know me well enough by now to know that my expressions of respect and admiration are absolutely sincere, or I really have been wasting my time on here for the last decade.

I think he did fine, sure he did some bad things, like racism, but his World War II service and national contributions overshadowed them.

[Australian rePublic]

Apparently, my late got to meet the man when he went to a Greek club in Sydney and played pool with some of the visitors during a royal tour in the 1950s. My late grandmother (his wife) gave me a tin with the queen's face on it from that same tour. She was a very big fan of the royal family and a stauch royalist. She supported the royal family in both Greece and Australia, and disheartened when the Greeks overthrew the royals. I was a staunch republican at one stage, but a few years ago, I became a royalist. Long live the royal family!

"Disrespecting the dead" is not a rule violation here. Gloating over a dead person might be. If you see as much, please report it.

If they ever build a fourth Forth bridge they should announce that it will be called "The Fourth Bridge", while sporting a shit-eating grin.

he was the one disrespecting a dead man.

it is a major loss to the family of Phillip , and he is disrespecting his whole life because he was a royal.

I remember you being a staunch republican. We had some lively conversations on the subject back then.
