Answer my question with a question

Capt Gabriela Fullpepper · August 14, 2008, 08:55:58 AM

Can we please skip both politics and religion?

Can I get an AMEN for my sister Laney and skip the P and R discussion?

Capt Gabriela Fullpepper · August 14, 2008, 09:27:42 AM

AMEN! How about discussing History?

PurpleDragon · August 14, 2008, 09:33:03 AM

History now, there is a topic I would imagine we all can sink our teeth into, what aspect shall we discuss?

Capt Gabriela Fullpepper · August 14, 2008, 09:39:45 AM

I'm open, anyone else?

Rage · August 14, 2008, 09:50:36 AM

Works for me. What should we discuss?

PurpleDragon · August 14, 2008, 09:56:26 AM

How about the aspect of what the "color of royalty" actually is?

Capt Gabriela Fullpepper · August 14, 2008, 10:01:51 AM

Do we really need to discuss the Color Purple again?

PurpleDragon · August 14, 2008, 10:03:06 AM

Why not? I mean, why do most people assume that Purple is the actual color of royalty when it was actually Black until the time of Louis XIV?

Rage · August 14, 2008, 10:08:05 AM

I guess it also depends on what area we are talking about. Didn't Cleopatra use purple as her royal colors?

Capt Gabriela Fullpepper · August 14, 2008, 10:26:22 AM

And didn't Queen Elizabeth decree it to be a royal color?

DonaCatalina · August 14, 2008, 10:28:46 AM

Wasn't that actually 'Royal Blue' in the decree?

captmarga · August 14, 2008, 10:50:45 AM

Did you know that to people who are "colorblind" blue and purple look the same?

Capt Gabriela Fullpepper · August 14, 2008, 11:07:07 AM

And wasn't it refered to as Royal Purple which in reality is more like Royal blue?

PurpleDragon · August 14, 2008, 11:08:42 AM

Wouldn't that mean that QE was colorblind?
