Considering the innumerable galaxies in the universe what is the relevance of any of this. My dad can beat up your dad. Who cares


They just want to take me on and defeat me in an argument. But, as usual, they're finding it very difficult.

Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard committed adultery (even with her own brother, in Anne's case) whilst married to Henry and so deserved to be beheaded.

The reason Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard committed adultery was because Henry wasn't man enough to sire a son and they wanted to deliver a son to escape Henry's wrath. You should re read your history books! :)

A lot of them are and I mean a lot, which makes me wonder what's gerryh's excuse *scratches head*

Gerry is an anomaly.:)

What a load of bollocks. How on Earth is it possible for a man to "not be man enough" to sire a son (something which Henry did in 1537)?

Yeah, if it was Henry's! Wasn't he a weakling who died in infancy?

Henry's son, King Edward VI, died aged 15 on 6th July 1553. The cause of his death - at a time of high mortality rates - remains a mystery.

If this is as true as it is promoted then the 'what goes up must come down' is going to hurt America more that the UK. Europe with treat her like the red headed stepchild she is for 100 years but she is EU family. (the fact that Germany will be chastening her on who she picks as friends is as close to vomitland as I want to get) America is the uppity servants who managed to get a union in for a few years, we won't be trying that again anytime soon.

Hardly. We just want to see how big a fool you are willing to make of yourself. You really need to read a real history book instead of the redacted trash from your silly overlords.

I'm an a$$hole. This is no surprise and I have never tried to hide it or say otherwise. I admit to it. The only reason I can think of for you not to realize this is that you are stupid.

Be nice, Gerry. Maybe the guy was hoping against hope that you are not an A$$hole.
