Partially because 20-30 minutes is a large time commitment all at once and partly because, and please don't take offence, I find it difficult listening to your voice.<br />Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248110528412887659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-56777423983582512272014-04-12T13:25:10.686-05:002014-04-12T13:25:10.686-05:00Hello MadMonarchist, this is the first time I have...Hello MadMonarchist, this is the first time I have commented on one of your posts, but I read your blog every day.<br /><br />I do enjoy your Q&A sessions, I just don't often get the free time to sit and listen to them. I'm a bit behind. I'm glad you enjoyed making them; this one was particularly interesting, especially the question about culture and religion and the Chinese rites debate. Personally I come down on the Jesuits' side of that debate, but I'm a non-Catholic sinophile so that is to be expected. Heavens know that Confucianism was, and is, more compatible with Christianity than China's new communist philosophy. <br /><br />As for Scotland's independence, I don't think the monarchy would last long in an independent Scotland either, which would be tragic because the Scottish monarchy is the oldest in the British Isles. The Queen is a direct descendant of Robert the Bruce, and her favourite residence is Balmoral Castle; she's as Scottish as tartan, heather and shortbread. Why anyone claiming to love their country would want to overthrow its oldest and one of its most significant institutions and import a foreign system to replace it is beyond me, but hey, clearly I'm missing something.<br /><br />The Jacobites must be spinning in their graves now that secularising, socialist republicans have usurped their legacy.The King's Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072180373998425331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-24884916782559796312014-04-12T09:01:07.579-05:002014-04-12T09:01:07.579-05:00Sorry to hear this, I enjoyed listening to you.

Maybe your audience would appreciate it more if the Q&A-section was available only once a month or even every two months. I mean, why stop the project completely, when you enjoyed it?Bavarian Monarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995523585264276540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-46062870403766826022014-04-11T21:57:25.210-05:002014-04-11T21:57:25.210-05:00What you do here is reaaally important.

I was referring only to the Q&A segments. As for the monarchist parties around the world, few make their activities available to foreign audiences and they tend to divide monarchists. Lastly, I do not see the wisdom, as a monarchist, in taking advice from avowed republicans.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-14744327798726315302014-04-11T18:30:10.648-05:002014-04-11T18:30:10.648-05:00If you really enjoy it why do you leave it?

There are many monarchist political you should pay attention to (even here in Argentina, a country that was born as a Republic!!!). It's not the same thing to make things alone than to make a real movement.<br /><br />Even i don´t share your ideas and i think a monarchist movement will never succeded, it would be really interest to see a monarchist movement rise. I am political scientist student and i would love to study this.<br /><br />Another thing, i haven´t seen much about the brasilian monarchy in your blog, and monarchism in Brasil is something relatively alive <br /><br />So, don´t kill your blog<br /><br />The Mad RepublicanistDiego Luzzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480703363725207141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-23958782664184760822014-04-11T06:33:49.873-05:002014-04-11T06:33:49.873-05:00What?!

That's just bad luck!<br /><br />Also, while I can't speak for everyone, weeks can certainly get rather busy - I just trusted you would churn out a video before week's end. Oh, well... on the bright side, it could open up the top bar, I suppose!<br /><br />(PS.
