Screw world peace, say no to the monarchy in the UK...

I'm soooo friggin glad that the people of the world, our leaders in the United Nations are concerned about the British Monarchy. Never mind that world hunger is higher than ever, 3rd world countries are slipping further into genocide, and the fact that people are getting slaughtered every day because they just can't get along. Maybe I missed something, but even though the monarchy is in place (god save the queen and all that), she really isn't at the steering wheel of the country anymore. Not that it's any of my business, considering I'm just a "bloody Yank" as it may be, but don't you think there are bigger issues to be dealing with?

The UN Human Rights Council said the UK must "consider holding a referendum on the desirability or otherwise of a written constitution, preferably republican". The resulting report said Britain should have a referendum on the monarchy and the need for a written constitution with a bill of rights. The monarchy costs each adult in Britain around 62p a year but even groups representing taxpayers said there was no case for getting rid of it. The UN report was also critical of the UK's treatment of immigrants from Sudan. Syrian representatives accused the UK of discriminating against Muslims and Iran complained about the UK's record on tackling sexual discrimination.

Again, just an outsider here... honestly... when has the UK politically ever put ANYONE on an equal level as themselves... Sorry Syria, take a number. The line labeled "Countries Who's Feelings Have Been Hurt By England" is the one you need to be in...
