The Queens passing as a fundamental change to be assimilated

cloudfire

Like alot of people Queen Elizabeth was the only monarch I'd ever known.  I feel sad at her passing, and remain in awe of her carrying out duties -  ones that I could not even comprehend trying to do - for 70 years, when it was never her choice.

But I think my reaction is more about the fundamental change in the status quo.  Our country is already on very rocky ground with poor environmental choices and the escalating cost of living and I feel that this event has just tipped things over the edge for me....

I wondered if anyone else had felt that way?

I feel like I need time to think about it and understand it, work out how it will affect me (media input, conversations, future impact) before I can get on with other things again.

  • our country does not have poor environmental choices.... our country is one of the most environmentally friendly on the planet now as any first world country can easily accomplish, the burden of this environmentally friendly thing falls on third world countries that cannot afford to go green like the 1st world can do... they will be on coal while we are now next to 0 emissions, the coal produced power we do use we cop out of that by buying that from abroad which has made us so reliant on places like russia, but it shows we do not produce the environmentally damaging stuff anymore, at the worst we buy it from other countries that do the damage instead and yet they dont get any blame for it or criticism.

    the whole green stuff has sent us to our knees with full reliance on other countries now. it has weakened us and was a terrible choice. we have sold out our future not that i care as i have no kids and so personally cant look them in the eyes and tell them i allowed these people to make their future country weak and reliant on others and full of poverty lol its badly thought out by people that dont think on things hard enough or in wide enough scope. just another bullet wound in the wests brain on its way to collapse.

    the queens passing had no effect on me, as she didnt do anything anyway and i didnt know her and had no relationship with her.

    down vote all you want its just plain ignorance to claim we are the worst environmentally, do the research, we are not... we are the best environmentally but that is due to the fact our country is so rich it can pay to be as green as possible, poor countries do not have this privilege.... it is a rich privilege to be environmentally friendly and your just all being arrogant snobs and ignorant of the world and its poverty.

    furthurmore it goes against the green agenda to criticise and claim the greenest environmentally friendly nation on eart is the bad guy... your literally just attacking the nations that put in the effort and go zero carbon.... so if you do that and attack them when they are the greenest what incentive do they have to carry on like this? ... they wont... because if they become the champion and the greenest and you still criticise them then it shows that green isnt a problem, pandering to it is the problem and tackling the problem is the problem while if we ignored it and went full dirty energy youd not say a word and the country would be better off and without criticism... it doesnt pay us to help or do the right thing because you criticise for doing the right thing and yet its ok if we did the wrong thing instead?

    this is also why countries that dont have a word for racism claim they have no racism problem but are the most racist on the planet but they dont have a word for it and so it isnt recognised and so you all see them as not racist when they are the biggest shut off racists in the world. looking at you china!

    The down vote was because the comments are not relevant to the initial question.

    The question was about change, not your personal opinion about the monarchy or the environment.  Your response may be valid, but it is off topic.

    well tldr it was basically no change, everything will carry on as usual, this makes no difference, and your the one that entered climate stuff along in your thingy so i just addressed everything you wrote, so not entirely sure theres a topic change there, the addressing of concerns was on point to a level of addressing every single comment there was in there lol
