Its rather odd don’t you think that the Labour Government who have spent most of the time destroying tradition and monarchy should want to evoke the queen and monarchy as something worth taking oath on? Are they so desperate because their open door policies and free liberal thinking has rotted people's connection to their own country? It must be a sign of desperation to want to involve the Queen in trying to impose an ‘oath of order’ on people to make they sure they 'behave' and respect (the) authority of this country - which isn't the Queen, by the way, but the state.

Soldiers have always been forced to swear allegiance to the monarch, but now Prime Minister Gordon Brown wants school leavers to do so. He is entrenching hypocrisy because the globalist policies of the government are acts of treason - and he expects people to fully accept the destruction of our culture through mass immigration while promising some sort of loyalty to the country. It is loyalty to the state - which is technically "patriotism" that Brown wants. He wants us to feel proudly British as we give away our heritage and move towards a federal European Union and an eventual One World Government. Our identity is supposed to be our very eagerness to throw our identity away.

Another aspect to this is that Brown must hope that ethnic minorities will be more tolerated if it is percieved that they have pledged themselves to queen and country. The idea is especially unpopular amongst these people, needless to say.

I am not a very patriotic person; I cannot say that I love my country or believe that one should fight for his country. I’d feel more secure being a mercenary and only fighting for a cause that I deemed worth fighting for, rather than just doing as I was told. Not that I’d feel comfortable with fighting anyway; I’d prefer to be safe and cosy.

Nationalism has caused lots of unecessary wars as people have been seduced into loving their countries after being pumped with patriotic bullshit.

With that said, I am not entirely peace-loving; I believe that war can sometimes be useful and lead to a better future, depending on the outcome. I do wish that the US and European main powers would learn to fight wars neatly though – without causing too much destruction and misery.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
"

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
