Question by Obama W. Bush: If Obama is antisemitic like detractors claim, why did he choose the King Solomon solution for Peace in Israel?
Obama said cut the baby in half. Demanding Israel cut their Sovereign Nation in Half and give that half to itinerant Arabs ie Palestinians
His choice of the King Solomon solution is proof that he loves Jews.

Question by Inquisitive: A must read for the American People?
To the citizens of the United States of America:
In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).
Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.
1. Then look up aluminium, and nuclear, and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing them.
2. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut'
without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise'.
Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary' ).
3. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as US English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell- checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize.
4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.
5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent.
Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.
6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
7. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
8. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline)-roughly /US gallon. Get used to it.
9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.
10. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting Nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
11. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.
12. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). In the meantime don't try rugby - the South Africans and Kiwis will thrash you, like they regularly thrash us.
13. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.
14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.
15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).
16. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
God save the Queen!

Question by Jimmy Neutron: British currency.....?
what is the coversion of Crown, Half-crown, sovereign, pence, guinea and other older divisions of a pound
Best answer:
Answer by Wendy
It's really difficult to answer accurately. Old coins in good condition are worth more than their face value.
Coins made from gold have a value related to weight and the gold price as well.
I suggest you consult Wikipedia for each coin and visit a numismatic dealer if you have coins.
Crown: 25 p (5 shillings); but later worth £5
Half-crown: about 13 p (2 shillings and sixpence)
sovereign: originally a gold £1; now worth £150
2 pence: 1 p
guinea: £1.05p

Question by Patrick S: how much is a 1909 british gold soverign?
i have a 22k british gold sovereign from 1909, with a loop on the top which im pretty sure was used for a string for a necklace at some point, the coin is in excellent condition and almost no scratches on it, how much would it be worth??
Best answer:
Answer by curtisports2
Being what is known in the field of numismatics as 'ex-jewelry', the coin is not in excellent condition, may not be gradable by one of the leading grading companies, and will have very limited appeal to collectors. This pretty much reduces it to a coin that gold bullion investors will buy. It's a smaller coin, so the percentage of premium over spot market price will be higher than it would on a one ounce bullion coin, but as ex-jewelry, the premium will be small or there might be none at all You're looking at somewhere in the 5 - 0 range.

Question by Billy D: Why do Americans put up with the lack of democracy, and quality and qualified representation in taxation?
We allow our hard-earned money to be taxed to support things we don't believe in or support. We are force by our federal government to support Planned Parenthood's abortion-mills for instance. It does not matter that half of us are pro-life; we are still made to pay for abortions.
Also, why should our winnings such as Lottery, or what have you, be taxed by the federal government? The federal government has nothing to do with the luck, instincts, wisdom, knowledge, and personal initiative that we individually use to win something. Why do we let the federal government penalize and exploit our good future?
Furthermore, why do we allow the federal government to tax our personal investment activities? The federal government has nothing to do with, and does not participate in the personal investment research, the luck, instincts, wisdom, knowledge, time and effort, and personal initiative that we individually apply to be successful investors.
These approaches to over taxation are not positive reflections of a healthy democracy. They are reflective of exploitation, abuse of power, and self-consuming and self-destructive savage capitalism. I know a lot of money is required to run our government, but the government should be a more efficient and effective steward of our tax dollars. Payroll income taxes, sales taxes, and property taxes are enough to cover all government operational needs. The greed and wastefulness has to be eliminated.
If all of an individuals taxes are added together (sales, city, state, and federal) they add up to about 50% of our income. Another way of looking at this is—the government guarantees itself a 50% return on our invested (time and energy) labor. This is usury, and is immoral and unethical, yet we accept this as the wonderful working of the world’s best democracy. When in reality, we are only 50% better off than people in Red Communist China.
We Americans need to ask why and how well our tax dollars are being spent, and hold elected political leader accountable. Aborting babes is not tax dollars well spent, and 0 billion in an unnecessary Iraq War is not tax dollars well spent. The cost of wars of choice must be accurately calculated beforehand. It is extremely costly to bury 3,000 dead soldiers, to provide medical-care to 30,000 injured soldiers, to support their families for a lifetime, and for all the materials that are consumed in war.
Our government agencies (FBI, CIA, Arm Forces) are heavily weighed with white-male-supremacy, and their white-wing biases and bigotries. This has lead to government agencies that are dysfunctional, and are dangerous to national security as was brought to our attention by 9/11. Inter-agency communications were marginal at best, and intra-agency communications were close to non-existent. Our tax dollars were not, and are not well spent in and on these agencies. The answer to this problem is simple; implement multiculturalism and diversity across the board.
Middle-eastern countries, cultures, and radical groups have a point about the savagery of our capitalism, and the critical dysfunctional aspects of our democracy. The UK and USA has interfered with their sovereign governance, encroached on their lands, exploited the fractious nature of Middle-eastern cultures, manipulated cultural differences to pit them against each other, and coveted their natural resources for over 100 years. This is why they hate America, Americans, and the British.
This unfortunately is what we stand for, and is the essence of our misplaced patriotism.

Question by flazatty: British Royalty Trivia Question?
When a new British Sovereign ascends the Throne, he or she usually chooses to reign under his or her first name. For example, when Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary became Queen in 1952, she chose to reign under the name of Queen Elizabeth II.
There have been exceptions.
For example, when Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George became King in 1936, he chose to reign as King George VI.
When his grandfather, Prince Albert Edward, became King in 1901, he chose to reign as King Edward VII.
Neither of them wished to reign as King Albert, because the public associated the name "Albert" with Queen Victoria's husband, and the former wished to emphasize continuity with his father's reign following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII.
Now for the question:
By tradition, how does the new sovereign "officially" inform his or her subjects of the name he or she has chosen?
Hint: It consists of a mesage. To whom and from whom is the message?
According to Alan Michie's "God Save The Queen," published in 1952, after the death of King George VI and before the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the Lord Mayor of London, by ancient prerogative, is entitled to be the first person (outside the Royal Family) to be notified of the sovereign's death. Other sources (e.g. the New York Times published in January 1936 after the death of King George V) indicate that this notification is given in writing and consists of a message signed by the new sovereign and delivered to the Lord Mayor. The manner in which the new sovereign signs the message determines the new sovereign's regnal name. I was interested to have the information about Queen Victoria. Thanks to all who responded.

Answer by The Dark Side
An announcement will be made from Buckingham Palace and the media will report it, in just the same way as the announcement of a royal engagement or wedding.
When Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, becomes King, it is possible that he will not want to use the name Charles - he could be King Charles III, but the first two Charleses were not exactly the most popular kings that Britain has ever had. Charles I in particular angered Parliament because of his autocratic rule, leading to the English Civil War and eventually to his being the only monarch we've ever had who was executed.

Question by Within the Storm: Are you a member of The Most Noble Order of the Garter?
The Most Noble Order of the Garter is an order of chivalry, or knighthood, originating in medieval England, and presently bestowed on recipients in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms; it is the pinnacle of the honours system in the United Kingdom. Membership in the order is limited to the sovereign, the Prince of Wales, and no more than twenty-four members, or Companions; the order also comprises Supernumerary knights and ladies (e.g., members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs).
The order's emblem, depicted on insignia, is a garter with the motto Honi soit qui mal y pense (Old French: "shame upon him who thinks evil upon it", or "evil to him who evil thinks") in gold lettering. Members of the order wear such a garter on ceremonial occasions.
Most British honours encompass the whole United Kingdom, but the topmost three each pertain to one constituent nation. The Order of the Garter, pertaining to England, is senior in age and precedence; The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle pertains to Scotland; and the now-dormant The Most Illustrious Order of St Patrick pertains to Ireland. New appointments to the Order of the Garter are always announced on St George's Day, 23 April, Saint George being the patron saint of England.
