There are few things more annoying than a millionaire socialist -- hearing someone condemn capitalism after they’ve already banked their million.
The only thing worse is a billionaire socialist. Folks like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez make this list.
And now add to it Britain’s bonnie Prince Charles. Earlier this month the prince gave a lecture in which he blamed capitalism and consumerism for bringing the world to the brink of collapse and declared that the “age of convenience is over.” He warned that the world has just 96 months to avert "irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it."
Now here’s a royal brat who has spent his life wanting for nothing and being waited on hand and foot…and he’s lecturing the rest of us about consumerism? ... Let him fire the dozens of servants and parlor maids he has waiting on him 24/7.
This is a guy who’s indulged in anything he ever wanted, and he’s got the nerve to tell us that the days of convenience and capitalism are over?

What a moron. Hey charles, what’s happened to royal families of nations who fell under communism?
Bad track record.
Royal family = world’s wealthiest welfare recipients... or least attractive zoo attraction. Take your pick.
There is a website dedicated to unmasking the British royal family, but I can’t remember the name of it offhand.
I don’t take advice from a guy who killed his first wife and
married a mommy surrogate!
“Prince Charles. Earlier this month the prince gave a lecture in which he blamed capitalism and consumerism for bringing the world to the brink of collapse and declared that the “age of convenience is over.””
But not for you, you SOB!
Chuck falls into that category of human who is not satisfied with having the good life, but is only satisfied if others *don’t* have it.
“””irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse””””
I have a normal sized house and I’ll bet it wil fit in one of his bathrooms.
***This is a guy who’s indulged in anything he ever wanted, and he’s got the nerve to tell us that the days of convenience and capitalism are over?****
Plus he has never worked a day in his life to earn a living.
Convenience and capitalism are over...except for him!
please we are supposed to listen to this guy
the boy who would be Queen
honestly
If "all that goes with it" means continued socialist control of the American government and economy, then I'm all for irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse in 96 months.
Like mother like son...Diane was an idiot but because she was pretty, she got lots of good press...I had a argument with my daughter when Di died....She thought it a great loss and I just told her if Di had been fat and homely and said the same things, no one would pay any attention to her..just a good clothes horse..
Just Charles showing off his fine (in)breeding again.
Damned inbreeding.
Let us hope that the Queen lives well beyond the age of 105.
England always had this love and hate relationship with capitalism and industralization. Look at the lyric to hymn Jersualem:
“And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?”
A common intrepretation is mills refers to the new factories that were popping up all over.
In Charlotte Bronte’s Shirley the ending scene refers to a once green hill that has become spoilt from the factory run by the two heroines husbands.
Bonnie Prince Charles is just another intellectual, using the term loosely, taking shots at industralization and capitalism.
God Save the Queen....We MEAN it, man!
Prince Chuckles is always good for a laugh!
Maybe it’s time for this jerk to get off his @$$ and get a real job.
The "age of convenience" is over.
Charles would have been better off being sent to a military academy like his father and taught some disclipline.
Instead, like too many boomer's parents, they bent over backwards trying to give him opportunity and he repays them like a typical 60's era hippie by (1)not being able to control his schlong and (2)trying to tear down the very system which gave him the opportunities to be a full-time professional celebrity jerk.
“Bonnie Prince Charles is just another intellectual, using the term loosely...”
Had to laugh: Prince Charles as an intellectual is something I never thought I’d hear! Ha! Good one!
This is another example of royal inbreeding. He is beginning to sound as kooky as the democrats.
His mother should take him over her knee.
This is a 60 year old guy with no job whose 80+ yr old mother won’t retire because she doesn’t trust him to take over the family business
This is a man who fantasized about being his mistress’s tampon...
nuff said
You haven't been paying attention. Prince Phillip is an idiot of the first magnitude- a monarchical version of Joe Biden.
If, suddenly, some circumstances caused Chuck to lose everything and he was left with the exact worth that I have and had to work everyday..... he would kill himself.
If I suddenly had his wealth, I would think I was dreaming. I would do cartwheels in the street.
Its all about perspective , Chuckyboy. I guarantee I am still alot happier person than he is.
Prince Charles: good for a laugh. King Charles III: not so much.
He is a prime example of too much interbreeding.
To be happy with what you have you have to earn it. That’s something that A-HOLE has never had to do. Inbreeding not a good thing.
Islam in action.
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
Same as every other welfare recipient.
What a twit. Britain should start by abolishing the monarchy and selling off all the state supported castles, polo ponies etc. for the benefit of the people. Chuck and his family can either go on the dole or find real jobs.
Charles’ lip service to the global warming fruits is nothing more than an elitist coward’s attempt to curry favor with his detractors. Maybe the Labour clowns are right: maybe it’s time to retire the Crown.
” the “age of convenience is over.”
Really, Charles? OK, since you are the future king you can lead by example and get rid of all of your conveniences.
You can start by taking a 1 room flat in the poorest section of Liverpool and walking to your job at the fish factory.
It is truly pathetic to witness the contempt a horses behind like this has for those who made possible his pusillanimous, thoroughly unimportant life.

Out of the whole useless family, Philip is probably the one I like best, along with Harry. I am delighted that he speaks his mind without regard for nuance or political correctness.
Well, I don’t think Charles is the sharpest tool in the shed, either.
Liberalism = Super Hypocrisy.
He was. Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth - and subsequently became a competent naval officer, commanding his own ship.
Charles = F’n @hole who questionably may have been involved with offing his wife. (IMHO)
The belief that the British royal family is hopelessly inbred is a bit of a myth. If you look at the actual marriage patterns, monarchical spouses in the last century have been only distantly related, if at all: and it's many generations since the British monarch married anybody as close as a first cousin.
Off with his head! Imprison his family, and kill the dog!
Slitty-eyed people would probably disagree with you!
As would spear-chucking Aborigines and boozing Scotsmen, among many others!
