You have never seen a US President bow to anyone: it just isn't done.

How is respecting another persons position or culture shameful? It shows a respect and understanding of another person.
One respects one's own culture first. Unless, of course, one is into patronizing others. This fool isn't showing anyone respect, any more than Jimmy Carter was by making a big deal of toting his own luggage off Air Force One.

Associated Press has several photographs of Dwight D Eisenhower bowing, even to General de Gaulle. They were in blogs all over the web during the last "US Presidents don't bow" whingefest.

This is true, but then the last time there was a Queen of England the USA didn't exist. However many presidents have bowed to Her Majesty, Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. Incidentally, would an American President write to a pointles little weenie? I Think Not. I have a letter from Bill, and you do not. Reason, you are a twat who knows nothing and exists in an imaginary land where you believe the truth is what you think. Obama Bows[^] Now F*ck off you C*nt

Dip-shit! You're not even a citizen ... and you clearly hate it that I am a citizen. Before this imposter (who obviously isn't even an American, no matter where he was born), no US President has ever bowed to anyone; no US citizen is supposed to bow to anyone. Why don't you provide some factual evidence to support your false claims? Well, I mean, aside from the fact that there exists no evidence that any US President has ever bowed to anyone.

Apart from the evidence of your own eyes? My God you are so fucked in the head you disbelieve yourself now! :laugh: Too right I am not a citizen, you have to elect your head of state and look at the arseholes you have produced over the years. The Queen has never put a foot wrong. And you are only a Citizen of the US. I am a subject of Her Maj, thus entitled to unfettered access to all countries in the Commonwealth. Plus I am entitled to acces to every country in the EU. All without visas. Even the US allows me in sans visa. Super isn't it.

Just as well, because your posts prove you otherwise. But your unhealthy obsession with mediaeval philosophy, surely that argues some pretension to the realm of the intellectual.

I read that link you posted months ago. Some strange little man ranting on, confusing politeness with subservience.

Zero, The Won, didn't bow to your (technical) owner; instead, he patronized and insulted her.

There. He is an American after all.
Bob Emmett @ Ynys Thanatos
And she is not my owner, if anything the People own her. She is our Queen by our decision. Ilidiot would never get it, he is too small minded and stupid. He probably thinks that Obama is the 44th man to be President.

He is a twat, he knows nothing and understands less. It is why he is a virgin, living with his mother and friendless. He has achieved nothing, so insults and abuses those who are better than him because of an innate jealousy of those with social lives and abilities that far outstrip anything he is capable of.

probably the worst part about the "Republican Revolution" is their need to make fun of intellectuals. They put idiots on a platform and act like this is a good thing. Intellectuals fix crap done by the morons that think a Bible has every answer they need and everything can be solved with a gun and a "PRAISE THE LORD!" Making fun of the people designing computers, creating businesses, and generally running the show doesn't help. But it certainly makes a specific block want to vote for these guys.
