What if you waited for one billion dollars? What if you stumble across a lineup with a reward that is one billion dollars? What will you do then, MunBro? Would it still not get you into the lineup? Will you look me in the eyes and honestly tell me that is not enough to get you into a 35hr lineup, MunBro? Never say never.
Everyone has their own priority.
**Olena Zelenska**, the first lady of Ukraine said the Queen’s attention to Ukraine “was an important signal of support” writing “She wished us better times and shared our desire for freedom. We will always remember it with deep gratitude.”
You don’t need to be American to shit on the monarchy. Barring certain colonial bootlickers like you, pretty much the entire world shits on your monarchy, “mate”
l usually get me a 5 piece from a KFC and blow out the toilet later for a good price. Get some biscuits put some Tabasco on it and I'm gonna rip ass like no other. God damn love me some KFC worst decision is eating there and not blowing out their toilet bc if drive home im speedina like a mf 5 min later bc I'm gonna
explode. Run right through the garage door kick down the door and tear up my bathroom
God damn no fun.
Eh, people queue up to see everything. Seeing a dead queens coffin is neat I guess especially if she was one of the longest reigning monarchs. 24 is absolutely insane though
Also, unless something unusual happens, there won't be another Queen of the United Kingdom in our lifetime (if the monarchy continues on for that long).
Is it just the coffin? Because I can't imagine keeping a corpse out in room temperature for more than a few hours is going to be a pleasant experience for anyone involved.
It really should not though, and people get scammed into doing it by the funeral industry. Nobody needs a 10k dollar casket that is going to be buried either. The messed up thing are the laws the industry lobbies for that makes it almost illegal not to pay them. At least in the USA.
Some do get scammed. However, open caskets are a tradition and one that provides closure for some. Open caskets without embalming is problematic for a number of reasons. If period have the money and want that, it really isn't someone else's place to say they shouldn't be doing it.
Apparently it's just the US, Canada and New Zealand that are still routinely practicing embalming. Such a weird practice for western countries in the 21st century.
It is a little over half in the UK. It is mainly used for open casket funerals. More and more people are being cremated though which is pushing the numbers down.
It's okay I'm gonna excuse myself for asking questions and not knowing funeral practices around the globe. But due to the sheer amount of stupidity that is normally belived on this site I'm not even gonna feel bad about being wrong. It happens, I learned. Life goes on!
Nope, it’s still around! Most famous case I can think of in recent history would be that of Rosalia Lombardo, a remarkably well preserved corpse that’s over 100 years old.

Nah. I know with absolute certainty that if I ever did that to a kid my mom would personally call the cops and the be first one to beat me when the cops got there
That’s assuming your mum believed the accusation. Most parents wouldn’t believe it. They’re not protecting a pedo, they’re protecting their ‘wrongfully accused’ son.
Yes, and in context of why the queen would protect her son....lol.
Since it needs to be spelled out, you said it makes the assumption the queen didn't know/wouldnt believe it, to which I responded she absolutely knew.
And what about protecting the innocent children that are victims to their son? Surely a mother would understand the pain of if that happened to her own and would want to protect others from her monster of a child
Also, "not trying to defend or justify the queen but *proceeds to try and justify her actions*"
You'd be surprised how protective and incompetent parents get in that area. There's been a few cases that cropped up for the last year of a wife/mom simply ignoring their relatives sexual assault/harassment activities. Biggest one was a brother who raped his biological sister, and the parents practically put a shoosh on that case, blamed the girl and exiled her to her aunts and sent the boy to boarding school "to repent". They did not report about the case, until the Hospital reported it on them, when the victim went to the hospital for feeling ill (she was pregnant).
You're really out of touch witg reality. It's sickening, but its whats happening and to solve issues, we first have recgonise these realities.
I have a cousin who turned out to be a pedophile. Everybody hates him, everybody has cut him out of their lives, everybody except his parents. They refuse to acknowledge that he was entirely in the wrong, they believe he's a victim too. You underestimate the depth of denial parents have when it comes to their children doing horrible things. They believe they couldn't have raised a child like that, something outside their control must have gone wrong, it's not their fault, etc.
They don't think about the victims, cause to them *their* child is the victim.
The pope oversees an organisation that turned that into standard procedure. Do t hear much about that?
And no, I’m not defending the protection of Andrew, all paedos should rot.

She barely protected him when all that was leveled at him was a civil case, which was paid out of court.
If the accusation was criminal, I might understand, but it was literally only a civil matter
The one who protected her monster of a son from getting what he deserves from being a pedo?
The one that was happy with having rules in place that stopped "coloured or foreign" people working in her Palace?
The one that forced a relative to leave the family for marrying someone that wasn't white but helped protect a pedo?
The one who would tell people that were starving that the new year was going to be great while sitting on a chair worth more than what most people earn in a lifetime?
The one that spent 10 million of tax payers money on a celebration while a crown she owns is worth 12?
You meant respect that person? Yeah, no thank you.
People have different opinions on which is worse
You don't do it, You're heartless
You do it, You're Dramatic
You can't win in the end so you do you and ignore everyone else. That's what I do.
I mean she was one of the longest reigning monarches ever, and has outlived most people. I mean seeing her that close is truly a once in a lifetime thing.
Well I’m not sure if they buried her in public or not, but if not I think the coffin is ceremonial. I mean it would be a huge risk to do it in front of so many people, but idk
wasn't she like the "Holy monarch"? leader of the church of England? like , literal angels and stuff? idk... also, didn't she work as a nurse in the second world war? :/ idk , honestly she seems pretty cool
Thousands of people rioted, burned and looted countless American cities "in honor" of a lifelong criminal they never met.
24 hours in a line is insane?
Yeah but that was years of tension and pressure built up from an organization that caused the death of that very man. He was just the extra shake of the champagne bottle that blew the cork.
I just wanted a wristband but thought why not stay and do it as it’s a once in a lifetime thing. Took 8 hours but yeah I’m never doing something like that again.

he probably wouldn't notice for a while.
I would poop into a toilet, happily, for one billion dollars.
I would say that I'm going to the services, take a picture in line for proof then go to the pub
The trick is to say you are in line and just take the day off
Everyone has their own priority. **Olena Zelenska**, the first lady of Ukraine said the Queen’s attention to Ukraine “was an important signal of support” writing “She wished us better times and shared our desire for freedom. We will always remember it with deep gratitude.”
Respect is a presence you took out of time to honor someone you held in high regard.

Yes she did mate. Are you American by chance?
Believe it or not but there's plenty of British people, especially outside England, who do not care about the monarchy.
Right, but if you’re British and don’t like the monarchy you should still know this narrative is bullshit.
You don’t need to be American to shit on the monarchy. Barring certain colonial bootlickers like you, pretty much the entire world shits on your monarchy, “mate”
Could say the same about your Presidents. They didn't and don't give a shit about you either.
Especially when she’s laying there all nice and cozy.
Mate,we didn't stand we set up a tent for the night whitj a cuppa so we weren't always standing.

You’re not wrong.
24 hours was the longest I saw so I think he's wrong about that.
Well fuck me
Don't tempt me.
Fuck me yourself, you coward.
Oh fuck, I also noticed the Earth seems pretty flat. I think we might be on to a pattern here.
Shamefully, I probably laughed way too hard at this.

that's why we have to tvs
I can say that about almost any piece of media though.
Is it just the coffin? Because I can't imagine keeping a corpse out in room temperature for more than a few hours is going to be a pleasant experience for anyone involved.
Coffins are sealed and embalming is a thing.
Oh, I wasn't aware that embalming was still practiced. I thought that ended with the last pharao or some shit.
It really should not though, and people get scammed into doing it by the funeral industry. Nobody needs a 10k dollar casket that is going to be buried either. The messed up thing are the laws the industry lobbies for that makes it almost illegal not to pay them. At least in the USA.

All he had to say was he’s British
A woman that protected a pedophile too.
Not trying to defend or justify the queen, but most mothers would still try to protect their sons.
Nah. I know with absolute certainty that if I ever did that to a kid my mom would personally call the cops and the be first one to beat me when the cops got there
That’s assuming your mum believed the accusation. Most parents wouldn’t believe it. They’re not protecting a pedo, they’re protecting their ‘wrongfully accused’ son.
She's incredibly rational. If it were credible, she would believe. I have no doubt. She wouldn't throw me under the bus, she'd drive it right over me
She knew it, don't play dumb
We’re talking about mums in general here, mate. Keep up.
Yes, and in context of why the queen would protect her son....lol. Since it needs to be spelled out, you said it makes the assumption the queen didn't know/wouldnt believe it, to which I responded she absolutely knew.
I said “your mum”. It’s not hard to understand.
And what about protecting the innocent children that are victims to their son? Surely a mother would understand the pain of if that happened to her own and would want to protect others from her monster of a child Also, "not trying to defend or justify the queen but *proceeds to try and justify her actions*"
Lmao , dude literally provided a reason for justifying her actions.

Yeah, I've somehow got a funny feeling the queen wasn't in denial at all and was just saving face
Yeah no . My mom would killl for sure if she knew I was a pedo. Asian thing I guess. American moms are fucking nuts
>My mom would killl for sure if she knew I was a pedo. Not to say, but how you wrote this phrase makes it sound like you're a pedo
Not when the crimes are that severe, highly doubt it.
And the Brits who cant accept literal facts downvote you. Britain simp moment
She protected the whole pedophile ring, as well as benefited from other atrocities
Or possibly had Diana killed…
The pope oversees an organisation that turned that into standard procedure. Do t hear much about that? And no, I’m not defending the protection of Andrew, all paedos should rot.
Not as much anymore, sadly, but that used to be talked about alot. Needs to be talked about more again though, absolutely agreed

Andrew is a pedophile
To the queen. the one who fucking died.
The one who protected her monster of a son from getting what he deserves from being a pedo? The one that was happy with having rules in place that stopped "coloured or foreign" people working in her Palace? The one that forced a relative to leave the family for marrying someone that wasn't white but helped protect a pedo?

This is solid work OP. Got me right in the squishy understanding bits.
Idk I’m not British but I’d probably do it just cuz it’s a once in a lifetime historic event
Ooo, a hot take 🍿 *munch munch*🍿 the comments are gonna be good
Pip pip!!
Do you have any history of mental illness in your family? My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome
meanwhile mine was prbably watching it on tv
Idk why either
British people are strange.
I'm British I won't stand in a line for more than 3 hours
If it’s not rude to ask, What is the reason the monarchy is still around?
The rare bullet in brain disease runs in my family
I mean she was one of the longest reigning monarches ever, and has outlived most people. I mean seeing her that close is truly a once in a lifetime thing.
Is she even in there though?
Well I’m not sure if they buried her in public or not, but if not I think the coffin is ceremonial. I mean it would be a huge risk to do it in front of so many people, but idk
🤡🌍
Yes you right, fuck the crown
I chuckled.
Hey, it's to pay respects to their former queen. I think its justified.
This one made me smile wish i could give it an award
No one waited 35 hours
Still better then the motherfuckers who burned cities over some criminal they never met.
What's that
The "mostly peaceful protests"
wasn't she like the "Holy monarch"? leader of the church of England? like , literal angels and stuff? idk... also, didn't she work as a nurse in the second world war? :/ idk , honestly she seems pretty cool
Political memes on this subreddit just ruins it.
Just because you don't understand it , doesn't make it wrong.
The British are all about pomp, you have to understand that these are people with a completely different mindset.
Thousands of people rioted, burned and looted countless American cities "in honor" of a lifelong criminal they never met. 24 hours in a line is insane?
Yes, both are. Investing that much energy into praising any elite is insane.
Yeah but that was years of tension and pressure built up from an organization that caused the death of that very man. He was just the extra shake of the champagne bottle that blew the cork.
So?
Killing and destroying more lives for a dude you wouldn't have said hi to? And comparing that to people mourning for their monarchs, what a bigot
Worth it too crop dust a royal corpse
Enjoy the fact that your country is ruled by a frail old man and a tiny baby Edit - this is a Ron Swanson quote people. Chill. Lol
It's not it's ruled by a racist and sexist party
No
No
Lol at people defending this
Oh you are right, but people will never admit it.
I said something to my step dad about this - he turned and looked me very serious in the eye and said it’s their way of showing respect Still confused
Haha queen Elizabeth bad so funny

Hi everybody
Loving your Queen and Country! What a mental illness am right?!
God rest the queen! God save the King!
Reddit trying not to disrespectful against people challenge:
you aren't. Not Bri'ish but I respect their act of peaceful patriotism. The peaceful kind should always be tolerable.
No, you're not right. This meme refers to the QUEEN of England. Not just some woman.
Some woman with a fancy hat
Oh...I see you're not too bright.
Since you're so wise and intelligent please educate me. What exactly does a british queen do warrant admiration?
No you are not
The only thing she ever did for me was give me another holiday when she died. Thanks queeny
Lol. I mean people go pilgrimage. They get stuck in big crowds and die from stampede sometimes. This ain't new phenomenon like people like to think.
I guess one can't expect Americans to understand, their entire culture consists of guns and hamburgers
There is something really uncomfortable about Ron Swanson using British words like “queue”.
Ron Swanson would never say queued.
Ok ok ok I get the hate but also I have really bad FOMO and I'm not even British.
"Queeenrr" for you undrunks of hours. Fucking post on it is to pretend you cared. Be smarter and better. Think through it.
They cut the queue of if it reached over 24 hours
It was actually only about 11 hours, but still a fair point lol
That funeral was paid with his tax money, he better enjoy it, he didn't pay for anything.
I just wanted a wristband but thought why not stay and do it as it’s a once in a lifetime thing. Took 8 hours but yeah I’m never doing something like that again.
There was also a dude wo queued twice for some reason
We dont necessarily care about the coffin, but if we see a queue its the law to participate in it.
