Royalties are sometimes stupid..

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Royalties are sometimes stupid..

I was driving back home and I noticed this guy driving a V6 car rather aggresively. Since he's on the other side of the road, it's no big deal anyway.

later on a few hundred meters in front, as I was signalling to change lane, he cut me in from behind. Luckily my window was open, and I heard his roaring engine and manage to avoid hitting him.

what an idiot..

then I noticed an emblem on his car, showing that he's a member of a royal family, which made sense to why he's driving like that..

Stupid, selfish, arrogant, narrow-minded, whatnot...
Not sometimes -- ALWAYS.

could be the cause of marrying your own relative which causes your gene to not diversify properly, thus rendering stupid off spring..

a few years back, one of the sultan took off from the port with his brand new, UNTAXXED, blue colored lamborghini. Of course, there are not that many people who own a blue lamborghini....what was he thinking?..

there was also this case, of a sultan who went to play golf, for the very first time..missed the ball and act like the ball was going very far, only to find out it was still at his feet. People were gilgling, and he hit the innocent caddie..

the caddie is dead now, due to severe head trauma.

the sultan still roams free....

oh yeah.. i heard about inflated heads soemwhere.. man.. the sultan roams free.. thats scary.

Science is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
power = work/time
therefore, knowledge= work/money
therefore, money = work/knowledge
therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge.

therefore,

The more knowledge you have, the less money you have.

Prepare for the worst, for you have read the worst.

What do you mean 'sometimes'? The idea that one person has a right to be treated as superior to another ought to be repugnant to any right thinking person.

Let's get those missiles ready to destroy the universe!!

I tend to agree that many of the royalties degraded due to too many marriages inside the family - preservation of the noble blood turned against them. It is not universal, though (not nowadays, at least).
Anyway, if the royalties were not stupid, we wouldn't be able to make fun of them, so maybe it's for the better.
(I hope I haven't insulted anyone - there are people from kingdoms here - but the royalties are still only humans (hehe - almost a quotation), and errare humanum est, etc.)

Their birth-given rights make them a pack of spoiled brats. I don't know what's so super about the idea of granting special treatment and powers to people who might not be competent at all, merely because he/she is born out of the right womb. Power must be earned, not inherited.

EDIT: To royalties who are actually competent, my apologies.
