What other species has a hereditary hierarchical system and no means by which challenges might be made to that hierarchy?

Re: The Queen's Platinum Jubilee
While it's gratifying for some, I'm sure, to know ones place and to be happy in it, I think you'll find most animal species hierarchies are based on merit rather than simply the accident of birth.
I don't think anyone is automatically better than me, or worthy of cash, merely as an accident of birth. That's just bizarre.

Re: The Queen's Platinum Jubi
That’s literally how life works. It’s an accident of birth to be born in Africa or the son or daughter of a billionaire. The way I look at it, I was lucky enough to be born in England to parents that were solvent. I am a glass half full person and thank the lucky stars I was not born in poverty in Eritrea. I try and live life with a smile on my face on that basis. The left (not saying that’s you) do the opposite and tend to look up and then get envious and live life somewhat miserably.StillSpike wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 5:17 pmWhile it's gratifying for some, I'm sure, to know ones place and to be happy in it, I think you'll find most animal species hierarchies are based on merit rather than simply the accident of birth.

Re: The Queen's Platinum Jubi
The Left tend to look "across or down" financially or how people are treated fairly with regards to their colour or sex etc. The Right look at anyone who is not similar to themselves with distain and don't care about others finances unless it has direct or normally a perceived impact on them.Beradogs wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 6:33 pmThat’s literally how life works.

Re: The Queen's Platinum Jubilee
Do you… do you think that queen bees are the first born daughter of the previous queen?
Do you think that the queen bee’s role in a hierarchy is equivalent to being at the top of the tree?

So much for non bias and balance at the BBC . Not a single republican to be seen.
