And can I ask, why enter into a debate like this when you have no idea of the facts? If you needed an explanation you should have asked for it in the first place.

On another note, I'll be all for abolishment if Charles becomes King and takes that Camilla woman as Queen. lol

but what does it symbolize and what is the tradition based on if you really ackowledge history?

The idea that some people are genetically superior to others? Surelly you see how that is offensive to some people. The first born male, First of all it's racist, because everyone of the royals is white, Second, it's homophobic because if any royal male falls inlove with another man, they'd have to abdicate the thrown, Third, it's prejudice against religions, because the royal is REQUIRED to be the head of the Anglican church.

So an institution that is so discriminatory on SO many levels, how do they get away with it?? It's incredible.
