Any advice on renouncing my birth British citizenship so I can be deported to Hawaii?
Man of Honour
Congratulations mate

This was hardly a journey now, was it?
Congratulations on what was an expected outcome.

During mine, I was really tempted to say: "I swear by the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, and the constitutional monarchy for which it stands, one nation under Elizabeth II, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" but the people there didn't look like they had a sense of humour.
Also I didn't want to pay to do it again...
There's a very fine line to tread with that one... just a touch too far and you're off to Guantanamo instead!

I hope you take your oath seriously. When a man swears an oath, he ought to mean it.

It's a sad reflection on modern society that people think it's laughable that someone ought to be true to their word. I for one will happily be the object of ridicule in this regard.
I take oaths seriously, I certainly did when I swore my oath as Constable.
It's interesting that everyone with automatic citizenship are probably pretty apathetic about it.

They were never asked to swear an oath though. I think that if people had to take the oath prior to say, getting the right to vote, people might feel more obliged to their country.

I laugh because natural citizens need not take oaths. It is funny that by default they are assumed to not require any oath but foreigners who obviously don't get that same level of trust require some words to be said and that is all that's needed.
People should not need oaths to uphold those values. If people hold the values above a few words, then the oath itself means nothing, if not then they hold their own words more important than what they represent.
Oaths are by their nature funny. You are required to take one to show loyalty and to be trusted, yet it costs no one anything to take one.
