Um,non fiction?🤨

[LegendHasIt]

Only proves how vapid the vast majority of the population of the world is.

Also, I wouldn’t call it “Non-Fiction”

Poor Harry.

His wife was the ghost writer for the book.

He is almost completely castrated at this point.

Come to think of it, his TV appearances reveals that is voice is now pitched higher.

[Albion Wilde]

Bear in mind that these “statistics” might be numbers of books ordered not by individuals, but by booksellers—not only bookstores, but chains like Walmart, Costco, etc. Expect to see quite a few of them in the Dollar Store in a short time.

[Albion Wilde]

In six months they’ll fill up the Dollar Tree bins. And nobody will remember a single word of it.

Agree about the Dollar bins. Disagree that no one will remember a word of it. He's about to experience how Woody Allen's popularity took a big long slide, and never recovered.

“ A monarchy does not have to equal tyranny.”
It is odd though that almost all of them were.

[Dr. Sivana]

It is odd though that almost all of them were.

The world is now full of Republics. How many are not tyrannical?

[DouglasKC]

I find this hard to believe. More likely it’s payoff for whatever agenda he’s pushing.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Good point about the woke libraries.

[muir_redwoods]

I don’t know. How many monarchies were not based on the premise of tyranny?

By definition, one-person-rule is tyrannical.

[Dr. Sivana]

I don’t know. How many monarchies were not based on the premise of tyranny?

By definition, one-person-rule is tyrannical.

THAT depends on how expansive "rule" is. A fascist, military, or Communist dictatorship is FAR more expansive than most of the Christian Monarchies of the Middle Ages. And our own Republic is getting there (think COVID restrictions).

Kings had their own checks and balances, just different ones. It was the nobles in the 13th Century that got Magna Carta signed, but the King was still a King.

When King John refused the Pope's selection for Archbishop of Canterbury and seized church lands, the Pope placed England under interdict for six years, and John himself was excommunicated. John negotiated to get both lifted.

The English Common Law that we thankfully inherited was forged under English Monarchies.

Well, the book is not exactly non-fiction. Is there a genre for a jealous tirade? That is the reason for its popularity, jealousy is such an ugly emotion and people cannot believe that Harry is doing this to himself. …even attacking his young niece and nephew. The bit about the Elizabeth Arden cream and imagining his mother’s presence while he applied it was just too much. Then there was the story about the drugs that he took while Meghan was giving birth to their son. This man-child hurt himself way more than he hurt Will.

[muir_redwoods]

You’re entitled to your opinion but, by definition, if DNA determines your leader, you’re dealing with a tyrannical government.

[Dr. Sivana]

What’s this “by definition” stuff? If the leader has limited powers, he’s not a tyrant, even if he’s a Biden.

IIRC, the publisher had to sell 1.7 million copies to get its money back.

[mewzilla]

And 2 questions...

Is Harry here in the US on a visa that allows the Harkles to dodge US income taxes?

And why is the US allowing a foreign national to engage in extortion and/or blackmail while on our soil?

[muir_redwoods]

Let’s take a tiny slice of history, say a mere 500 years. Look at the monarchs during that brief bit of history and let’s compare the tyrants vs the non tyrants.

That’s my point.

[Dr. Sivana]

OK, so you think that Queen Elizabeth II of England, Louis XVI of France, and Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary were more tyrannical than Biden, FDR and Robespierre?

[muir_redwoods]

I don’t think I introduced comparisons. If you think they are tyrannical at all, you’ve made my case.

[dforest]

Keep in mind that people play fast and loose with the truth anymore.

If I wanted to sell a ton of books I would release to the press how the book was selling at lightening speed. Hurry up and get one, we might run out.
