Isn't Canada paying for it? In either case they should be helicoptered into the ocean and make the world a better place.

Can't they be relocated to Saudi Arabia or some other country that would love to support a couple of pampered Westerners, of no real value?

thats pretty extreme

why all the hate?

[–]sproketboy 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I guess because I don't like my tax dollars used for elitist pampered useless clowns.

Do you seriously buy into the idea that "royalty" deserves special treatment?

[–]FormosaOolong 5 insightful - 4 fun5 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 4 fun -  (2 children)

For once I agree with Trump on something. However, I also feel very strongly that US taxpayers should not pay for the golf cart rentals at his own resort for his presidential security entourage. FFS.

Some things you are required by law to charge for.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Easy when you write the scams "laws".

[–]Nemacolin 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

This is not news.

I do not care who provides security for these folks. It is not clear to me that the Secret Service does this. Seems the President is making stuff up.

But, to answer the question, we pay to keep people safe from crime. That includes poor people. That includes rich people. Is there some reason this would not be true for this young family?

based on other peoples replies, it sounds like hey need protection from random internet users.. good grief

[–]hennaojichan 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (19 children)

The British Royal Family is the tip of a huge criminal gang that goes back to the East India Company or before and they must be protected damn it. Another possibility is that sometime pretty soon, the couple will be killed by its own guards, like Indira Gandhi and Anwar Sadat.

[–]Nemacolin 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (18 children)

Wow. How are you holding up under isolation?

[–]hennaojichan 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (17 children)

Do I sound like someone who howls at the moon sometimes? Maybe so but screw isolation—I am going to the gym most days and it is great since almost no one is there. I do miss that woman in yoga pants who used to do all those leg workouts. That and a half bottle a day of red wine a day make me feel great. Oh, and the methamphetamine. (Yes, my gym closed for a while but is open again.)

[–]Nemacolin 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (16 children)

Yes, yes you do sound like that.

How many people you think you might hurt by not following the rules?

[–]hennaojichan 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

Oh, I thought you were joking but it seems you're not. How many people do you know who have Kung Flu? My mother-in-law knows a woman who knows a woman who sometimes sees a man at her gym who just came back from a cruise and has an undiagnosed respiratory infection but he is quite old. It is just ordinary flu that comes around every year, in my opinion and this year flu is down because of all the precautions. Don't believe the hype. Where I live there are no exact rules and no lockdown. BTW, in the last few days I have posted two articles that list twenty-two microbiologists, epidemiologists, etc. who say this outbreak is completely normal. Old folks die all the time of flu/pneumonia and this year is not unusual according to them.

[–]Nemacolin 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

Yes. It seems you are unable to handle the pressure. Have you called some sort of help line?

This virus is not the annual flu. Here are recent daily death tolls for some countries.

Looking at the 25 March reports:

Spain 718

Italy 712

France 365

USA 268

Iran 157

UK 115

Netherlands 78

Germany 61

....

China 5

South Korea 5

[–]hennaojichan 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Oh, please. In fact you sound a bit loosely wrapped to me.

[–]Sh4nt1 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah serious projection going on with this guy.

[–]hennaojichan 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

This nut-case, on another thread, accused me of surrendering in Afghanistan. He is seriously deranged. Besides, Trump never listens to me anyway.

[–]definitelyanewuser 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

How are you handling the pressure? It sounds like you need more sunlight?

[–]Nemacolin 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Saudi Arabia is the Saudi Arabia of sunlight. Sunlight we got.

[–]hennaojichan 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

You are full of it Colin. You need an enema.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Do you believe everything you're told?

By the government?

By the media?

By authorities?

By your boss?

It's a rigged system that only needs your blind faith.

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Well. do you believe random internet sites and twitter posts?

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Random? Only as much as the MSM - meaning that I take in the information and will judge it over time with other sources using my own reasoning skills. I don't have to "believe" it to understand it or its perspective.

Non-Random sites that have repeatedly earned my trust through verifiable facts, admission of errors, and an effort to make me think for myself on the things presented and not to believe them so much as think for myself - yes they've EARNED my trust. (Whereas corporate media simply DEMANDS my blind faith (while trying to scam/control me/us).)

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

You're seriously buying into all the hysteria considering all the contrarian content on this site you're inhabiting?

[–]Nemacolin 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

May I politely say I do not understand your question?

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Why oh why, do you come to SaidIt, where there is an abundance of content that clearly goes against what you're trying to push on us?

Either you are a shill, as many have stated, or you're an agreeable naysayer pseudo-troll, or you're a contrarian sadist determined to punish yourself and others by going against the grain. If you are the latter two, then your choice of SaidIt.net is curious, whereas if you are the former then your choice is obvious.

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I like the truth. What do you like?

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I like the truth and the freedom to seek and share it.

In my vast yet limited experience, SaidIt is easily among the best places I've come across for aggregated truth seeking while being a decent social forum. (It's also a terribly addictive distraction.)

If you remain as honest and non-deceptive as you consciously can be, then you'll never have problems with me - other than on occasion I will call you on your shit, as I would hope everyone would do to me.

You sound a lot like another user who was on here a year ago. He was always contrarian and/or bought into the MSM propaganda. Except generally you make more sense. I honestly don't understand why you guys do it. It's like someone going to a jazz club and complaining that they don't play country music.

[–]Jesus 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Should have asked that after 1863.

[–]Deonquantariodre 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

If they resided they would have used it, why do you have people like them anyways? I see them being good but you can donate millions to me and Every dollar will go to good without corruption. Like, Actual good, not just bullshit. I also think overpopulation is real bc people are fucking things up with nature but have at me for that, guess we can all live in texas type shit. Fuckin dumb. Look at the pollution decrease now that retards are not mindlessly using resources.

[–]gof-urself2 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Glen Beck was getting it during Bush Jr admin, and I ask the same question still.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I'll pay.

But no more than my two cents.

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

They can live where they like within the limits of the law. Society tries to keep everyone safe, the poor as well as the rich. We should pay to keep these folks safe because we want to live in a society where people are safe.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

The law is written and rigged by the ruling class who is currently tearing down society so it can build up a more exploitable New World Order.

The ruling class cares NOTHING about the poor. Verifiable.

Royalty are just spoiled descendants of major scumbag players and pedos. They should relinquish their titles and pomp and circumstance or suffer whatever comes with the targets on their backs, including their security bills.

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

How odd. You do not like people not because of what they do, but because of what their great-grandfathers did.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

If you think the royalty of today has less blood on their hands then you are deluded. It's just not as obvious. While they are a fraction of the ruling class, they are still part of it - and the entire ruling class are scum sucking, child fucking, war mongers.

Also, do you think inherited blood money is any less bloody and/or legitimate wealth?

[–]Nemacolin 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Disliking a person for what they do is sometimes called for. Disliking someone for what they are is foolish.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I completely agree with your wisdom here.

There are people who are "royalty" due to their blood. Over decades or century through any number of means and reasons, their family has lost all their wealth and have become "unimportant". They don't have security and lead "normal" lives.

In thess cases, I don't care about them as they are not part of the problem.

Anyone who has more than a million, IMO, has too much. In big cities, make that 10 million. I'm not even talking about net and gross values, including home(s), investments, etc. I'm talking simplistically. Sure wealthy people may become accustomed to certain lifestyles - but at what cost?

MOST of this planet is desperately poor. Far more than we can even imagine on our worst days.

Royalty and wealthy people could help them. A rising tide lifts all boats, including the rich. But those fuckers want control. OVER EVERYTHING. And will not stop. For anything.

Am I demanding we take all their wealth and redistribute it? Fuck no. I would want a Rolex except to pawn it. But I am demanding fair systems. A pipe dream.

The royalty and wealthy are ACTIVELY fucking everyone else over rigging their rigged systems. I dislike them for what they do.

[–]Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I don't really think it is. Our tax money is used for bombing raids and whatever else they want to use it for. We also funded 9/11.
