Turns out that Prince Philip is stepping back from his royal duties (although he will continue to run his various charities).
I mean the guy is 95 years old. Hope I'm that active when I get to be that age (assuming I live that long).

Hey, remember when the British newsroom sitcom Drop the Dead Donkey responded to Diana, the Princess of Wales admitting self-harm with the quip "What's she going to do next, jump in front of a speeding Hoover?". Good times, good times...
Its pretty much forgotten now how Diana was a punchline in the nineties before the car crash.

I never understood all the hate towards Diana and the other Royals.
People should hate those that deserve to be hated. Kim Jong-un and Bashir Assad come to mind here.

I've been kicked for a week from another board for pointing out that neither Yassir Arafat or Abbas were democrats. Arafat was elected President of the Palestinian Authority in 1996, supposedly for a four year term, but no further elections were held until his death in 2004. Likewise, Abbas was elected in 2005, his term expired in 2009 and no further election for the position has been held.
Apparently pointing out that being a member of a marginalised minority doesn't stop you from being a crappy human being makes you "Islamophobic".

Geez, some people just can't take the truth, can they.
I see nothing wrong with your position on the subject, Natalie.

Banning Natalie was going to extremes. She had perfectly valid point.

You know SJWs. All white people are good, everyone not white is bad, et al.

Someone i talked to about my Blue Lagoon fic called gender transformation a "fetish" - even though TV Tropes has a page devoted to a well-known gender transformation subgenre which makes it pretty mainstream - tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/SpellsRUsI chose the Blue Lagoon for the embarrassment factor for the husband - pretty female body, running around a deserted island with no clothes, having to go through pregnancy and a baby.

Yeah, Brooke Shields did spend a lot of that movie scantly clad.

It still is a fetish.
Heck, everything can be a fetish.
Even fictional characters, ships, and fandoms.

Thank you, International Committee of the Red Cross Facebook ad claiming "for over 150 years, we've been there for kids affected by conflict and violence". '
If there is anything worse than the ICRC's complete failure to do or say anything about the murder of more than a million Jewish children, it's 70 years of pretending that this failure never happened.

The Red Cross could do nothing to help those Jewish children. Like it could do nothing to any rebellious teen that died suffocating in a prison 150 years ago.
