An oath is not even legally binding. Why take it so seriously?
When people get married, they also take an oath about not leaving each other rich or poor, well or sick. Nobody seems to complain "why do I have to promise that".
It is just an empty oath. If you can't deal with it, go for a "real democracy" then.
Taking an oath is not a requirement for marriage.
And it's far more than an empty oath since it's directly supported by law, which permanently puts the unelected monarch above all Canadian citizens.
You are close to hitting the nail of the head. A review of all that person's posts shows an emotionally unbalanced person with a one track mind tending towards megalomania who is feeling threatened by anything non-American. He is fixated on his objectives of the Americanization of the whole world and a New World Order with America as the one and only established global government. In his mind there is a war happening between America and any other people/country that isn't exactly like America, doesn't think like America and won't submit to the total control that America will impose on the world. The rest of the world is his enemy. Nobody else's different opinions or ideals are of any importance to him, no matter how successful they may have proven to be.
Note I emphasize "in his mind" - I'm not saying that's really what America wants but that it's how he views America and the world and it's what he wants to see imposed on the rest of the world.
There is no arguing or reasoning with anybody who is obsessed like that and all the good sense in the world won't get through to him when it's something he doesn't want to hear. Like I said, a review of his posts will show you how single-minded and thick he is. The guy is a broken record. Lots of members on the board have already tried to reason with him over the past few months and have failed utterly. It's probably best to just ignore him.

He's simply an azzhat who uses the supposed "superiority infused" posts of those calling a spade a spade, to unleash any kind of vitriolic nonsense upon any foreign country over any reason he can either find or manufacture for his personal entertainment with the constant repetitive, retarded "yeah but's".
He's not alone; there are at least two others with mildly similar traits and motives but who are slightly less dogged in their persistance of the "we're number one". They are even somewhat entertaining in their childish insistance over things ranging from music to tiddlywinks and are therefore quite tolerable.
They in no way exemplify your typical, average American, merely a disenfranchised, insignificant subset.
The conspiracy theorists love coming up with conspiracies.
Couldn't I just be someone who strongly disagrees with monarchy? You guys keep bring up America even though I never made this thread about America. But I guess this is what happens when your indefensible monarchy argument has no legs to stand on.

They may help you sleep instead of tossing and turning in your sweat-stained sheets at night, gnashing your teeth and obsessing about Canadians and the Monarchy.
Very peculiar, indeed.

Apparently if you don't completely submit to the monarchy advocates and defenders, you're a troll.
If your children, grand children or great grand children ever get a chance to read your comments, they'll be ashamed, because you're all on the wrong side of history. Support democracy and equality instead.
Canada is a shining example of democracy. Without the crown, I highly doubt we'd have come this far as a nation. If you don't like the monarchy, you should be happy because you live in a republic. We are happy living in a monarchy. Why should a yank tell Canadians what to do with our own country?
Most of the world's countries with the highest-rated quality of life are monarchies. I don't think this is a co-incidence.
Canada, the UK, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, Japan and many others.

You can strongly disagree with the monarchy all you want. I suggest you send a strongly-worded email to Buckingham Palace to voice your displeasure.
However, most of us have no problem with it, so why do you keep bugging us about it? Surely there must be something else to focus and obsess about in your life? We're good.

I'm focusing on monarchy because it's an important issue? Why don't you take the issue seriously and stop being so dismissive. The sad thing about this is - if I'd started a monarchy appreciation thread you'd all be praising me to no end.
I am very proud to live under a monarchy, and we will not be told by a foreigner how to run our country! I devoted my duty to the Queen as a child and I mean every word I repeated that day. Our monarchy ensures the democratic process is carried out and unifies us as a nation. Why don't you go insult the Thai or the Belgians or something? Why is Canada your only target?

Well said i too am a proud Canadian that has absolutely no problem with the monarchy, i suspect the vast majority of Canadians are in agreement,
As for why dknoble is so obsessed with Canada ? i'm starting to suspect he's a recluse living vicariously through the web probably in Flin Flon Manitoba , in his past he's probably had some negative encounter with a Canadian and now just seethes with anger and hatred every-time the topic of Canada comes up.
So while dknobles ranting on the monarchy is not taken seriously by any one but dknoble it is amusing to watch him sputter and get apoplectic over the issue,kinda like a dog chasing his tail ..
Mr dknoble please proceed.
