Queen Elizabeth II passed away

She would have still been alive to do a run-in to help Drew wrapping a steel chair around Roman’s head. Drew McIntyre has no friends.

Am I the only one here that just doesn't care that much, or at least not any more than most 96 year old people dying? It might suck for the people they were close to, but they had a good run.

I can only speak for myself, but I'll gladly take potshots at anyone who was literally born into privilege and never had to work for anything in their life.

Paul McCartney ...

Do the Sex Pistols remake God Save the Queen in honor of Charles III? Did he think it would take him until his 70s to ascend?

Well as the times have changed so has Johnny Lydon ...

Queen Elizabeth II - had a great life.

Compared to a slug, sure.

Not even they are protected ...Yikes!

Compared to a slug, sure.

Wow, the number of insects the Queen consumed over the years is quite astounding ...

Speaking of insects, just another day on Normal Island.

I can imagine all the celebratory feasts in Africa of people eating other people enslaving all the leftovers so no one is wasted.

You’ve come a long way, baby…

Evidence of Cannibalism Found at Jamestown
New evidence supports historical accounts that desperate Jamestown colonists resorted to cannibalism during the harsh winter of 1609-10.

It's not a sin because the Bible says it's OK.

Gentiles 8:88
"If gentiles are really really hungry and there is no other food to snack on, then it is OK to sacrifice lesser humans and feast on their flesh."

I get what you're saying, and I don't see that it would be disrespectful. I will say this though, from all of the articles I've been seeing, and glancing through, they do seem to jump through A LOT of hoops, for the simplest, and most mundane tasks. It seems EVERYTHING they do, is mired in complexity, and unnecessary procedure

But she did live a very long life. R.I.P.

I was at a Walmart today and overheard 2 Indigenous/Native Americans talking pretty passionately about it - Let's just say the phrase "I'm so glad that fucking bitch is dead" got repeated more than a couple of times.

I think it would be a sign of real progress if the media gave a more balanced approach to portraying her very questionable legacy, instead of this lovey-dovey image full of crumpets and rainbows.

Amazing you could interpret their ancient language through all that slurring.

Must be outta Crown Royal at the Walmart...

Iron Eyes Cody was an American actor of Italian descent who portrayed Native Americans in Hollywood films
..it was revealed that he was of Sicilian parentage, and not Native American at all.

As much of a work as Chief Jay Strongbow. He couldn't get over as good being Giuseppe Scarpa. Mighta played a Redskin but he was a brown-noser as far as the office was concerned. We got Sicilians wearing head-dresses opening up Casinos down here.

When my mom went to college Indians were the heels. Over time there were enough pony-tailed wearing professors that switched them to complete babyface. Indians are tweeners in my book, neither good nor bad with plenty of variation.

Canada announced there will be a Federal Holiday for the funeral this Monday. Which is so ironic, as the following week has another Canadian Federal holiday for Indigenous people's day - the very people the queen subjugated.

Didn't she own like 90% of all private land in Canada?

Wow, you know your stuff Day!

Yes, over 90% of the land is technically owned by the crown, with remaining 9% "privately owned"
https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/who-owns-all-the-land-in-canada.html

Of course, all the Indigenous people have a little something to say about the claim to that 90% of the country....

Offtopic.

Hollywood back then did it all the time. Think of all the classic Western TV shows from the 1950s and 1960s ...

I was just reading about Larry Storch from TV's F-Troop. Speaking of that show, Frank DeKova was also Italian American as well. He played Chief Wild Eagle ...

Don Diamond who was of Russian decent played Crazy Cat. The IMDb said that Mr. Diamond had the knack of picking up dialects. He could speak Spanish. As such, he played Mexican bandits and soldiers on TV and in movies. He was so proficient at speaking Spanish that many people thought he was Spanish or Mexican.
