Quoted:
If you think about it a little deeper it's not such a bad message. He's essentially stealing money back from the government that is overtaxing the population. It also illustrates the potential for evil in a monarchy. This. It's about resisting an oppressive, illegitimate government. |

Fuck Disney All your profile bluster "sic semper tyrannis" and "I'll never kneel before a tyrant" is pretty fucking funny since you can't even recognize it in cartoon format. Here's some coloring books for you http://www.amazon.com/Patriotic-Favorites-Coloring-Activity-Book/dp/0635010313. Don't forget your helmet. |

Nobility were more or less welfare leeches who extorted money from hardworking people through force or threat of force to fund lavish lifestyles. Robin Hood was basically reclaiming what was rightfully the individual subjects' earnings. Not everything is a socialist plot chief. |

I could see a socialist making such a claim with a straight face, though. |

Quoted:
The myth of Robin Hood should be killed off. You must mean the legend of Robin Hood...I'm sure the population of Nottingham would agree with you being as they have a virtual multimillion dollar industry around this man...that would be like saying let's kill off billy the kid

The myth of Robin Hood should be killed off. Our government would probably love that. Of course they've bastardized the lesson of Robin Hood by stupid "Robin Hood" programs including one here in Texas that was designed steal money from "rich" school districts and give that money to "poor" school districts. |

Even with the world's shittiest football team Robin Hood is unlikely to have much to do with Nottingham, to be honest. Some of the research into the very early versions make for interesting reading that suggest that the Robin Hood of legend was, in fact, one of the many Templar knights who went into hiding due to the order being dissolved and targeted. |

Yorkshire and doncaster have also claimed him as theirs... Ye old trip to Jerusalem...much older than the USA by a long shot...mostly a students hang our from what I understand...although they had a great museum next door showing ww2 air raid shelters and such... Now let not get into how craptasic notes forest or notes county are...since cloughies era they haven't been any good That said Nottingham sure used to have the nightlife when I lived there...I lost count how many pubs and nightclubs in the downtown area.. |

Help, I'm being repressed.
King Arthur: I am your king. Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you. King Arthur: You don't vote for kings. Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then? [Angelic music plays... ] King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king. Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. |

relax dude, it's a good show. Besides, if we're drawing political messages from cartoons, robin hood was pro freedom of arms and individual responsibility. He gave that kid a bow and arrow for his birthday. Not exactly a communist plot! Definitely pro Magna Carta. |

I know they renamed the A52 "Brian Clough Way". Then when all the potholes started to appear they renamed it "Brian Clough's Liver". No idea about the nightlife but they have a Greggs that opens late and has a bouncer. A Greggs with a flippin' bouncer, that's big city living right there. |

You might understandably hold such a view if Disney cartoons were your only source of history. It's the predominant view in the U.S. Almost no one here seems to realize that the nobility's privileges were not free and were dependent upon service and obligation to those within their domain. The nobility also did not originally use divine right for anything (and that was nowhere near as prevalent as portrayed) and got what they had through their own efforts, i.e. via merit, to include military merit. |

Quoted: To declare it a "Meritocracy" might be true in the immediate years after the Conquest (and I'm sure a Saxon would disagree), it was hardly so with the well entrenched Nobility in the centuries afterwards. Nobility would just as often choose to pay their way out of service, via Scutage.

A better case can be made for a merit based society in the the pre-Conquest Anglo-Saxon social structure. Of course, the Robin Hood story is decidedly not pre-Conquest... |
