So why exactly does UK still have a royal family? Scared to let go of a tradition?


Many countries still does. It's not about keeping a tradition alive, it's about following the will of the people.

So it's the will of the people to pay for this one no longer significant family to live royally in a palace?

I wouldnt necessarily say tradition since they have no power any more, but more along the lines of the fact that although the royal family are expensive to the UK taxpayer, they bring in a lot of money from tourism and it would be a rather strange transition to go from having a royal family to not, especially given how patriotic the whole country is at the moment.

I honestly have never heard of a single person tell me they've visited any country for a monarch. Although you do have a point about the transition.

Nobody visits the capital solely for the monarch, well unless you count the royal wedding or diamond jubilee. They are just like the london eye, or big ben, one of many reasons to visit.  http://money.uk.msn.com/news/celebrity-money/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=154001233 this might be useful as a brief idea of the financials.

The family is significant as a symbol, just like how people are willing to pay for the preservation of older buildings and such.

The Royalty stuff is pretty dumb in my opinion, but still, if you're going to be "royalty" then you shouldn't be acting like a American Celebrity.

They're ambassadors for our country and give us an identity. Although basically all power has gone to the Government, there hasn't really been a need to get rid of the royal family and they do far more good than harm.

The human body.

No matter who it is, being naked is not even worth mentioning. This is like a news story about a guy having four fingers and two thumbs.

Seriously, I can not even go swimming in my pool naked were I live, because it is going to scar the neighbors kids. How king stupid are people. The human body does nothing to a kids mind. People freaking out, covering their childrens eyes, making a scence, and traumatizing the child destroys a kids mind. 

I am not asking for everyone else to be naked, I see the same thing clothes or not. I just want to be able to be naked when its 100 degrees out, and it shouldn't matter were I am. 



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
