    I never said she was better than you, it is her that says she (and her entire family) are better than you....and to top it off she makes you pay the rent on her bazillion dollar palace, her luxurious food budget and pay for her travels around the world.....with the best security money can buy. :wink: Remind me how that deal came to be again? And can it be reproduced on another island....sounds like a position I would like to sign up for.

    Remind me again when the last election was for the position of King/Queen in the UK? :rolleyes:

    And I have no idea about JFK. He was dead long before I was born.

    I beg your pardon... the present President of the United States certainly does not consider himself to be Royality, there are much higher levels of arrogance to strive for. He does not really know what he is but I think he is pondering over becoming a dictator with his trusted pen and phone on his side, or just God. Sometimes when you mind rises above your intelligence and common sense levels it is hard to make quick precise decisions like position titles or traveling to France quickly to meet other world leaders. There are many critical conditions to review before hastily making travel plans like "Green fees" and "start times".:cigar: when you are only meeting with the more commoner world leaders.

    I know that he is a president and that he was assassinated. Something about Cuban missile crisis, Cold War, Marilyn Monroe, Catholic, a bay full of pigs(?) bla bla bla. "Camelot USA Round Table".....no idea about that.

    Not a single Google search result for "Camelot USA Round Table". Seems my history is better than some.

    ha ha ha, if it is not on Google it does not exist, that's cute,:biggrin: yes indeed your history knowledge is "awesome" indeed......lol.....:biggrin:.....I will try and explain my statement, as it was was actually a mixture of US History and English fairy tale History, and both Countries are connected by History. Camelot was the mythical domain of England's King Arthur, perhaps you can Google that one in isolation. the Round table was where Arthur and his Knights sat to rule that domain or Kingdom. John and Jacqui Kennedy were very often likened to and compared with English Royalty and Washington during their "reign" was very frequently called the US Camelot.:cool: Forgive me if I expected other folks to be aware of all that trivia.......:asshat:

    Yes, I am also familiar with Camelot and the Knights round table. You can't just throw "USA" and in the middle of some random British fictional story and call JFK royalty and expect anyone to know what you are talking about. If you just pull sh*t out of your @ss it's going to stink. In the history I was taught JFK and the first Lady were never once mentioned as royalty. JFK was an elected official, perhaps his media presence was a bit different than other presidents before him but that doesn't make him even remotely comparable to royalty. No reasonable person can consider any president of the US similar to royalty. They are elected servants, plain and simple.

    And yes, it's quite likely that if it's not on Google it doesn't exist....or someone is pulling information straight out of their @ss. There are references to the Kennedy family being like royalty but those references are not reputable ones and they seem to have a very limited understanding of what royalty actually is. The Kennedy family was a political dynasty, sure, but royalty.... Far from it.
