If I could vote twice I'd vote Wiglaf. However, as I can only vote one I'll take this oportunity to abuse drivers of SUVs/4WDs (especially the dickheads who fit bullbars to them, yet never leave the city, thereby endangering pedestrians for no good reason )

Can't you affirm to tell the truth as a substitute for an oath to god? Not sure about court proceedings. And you can be sure no one will tell you about any options you may have. You'll have to ask.

Well, for me, swearing to God has no weight at all.

Verbalizing the oath to god without actually believing in god [or crossing your fingers or legs to neutralize the oath] will not in any way shield you from a perjury charge if you are later found to have not told the truth.

However, I agree that anyone who states that they will tell the truth should, of necessity, be taken at their word in a courtroom setting. People tell lies in courtrooms all the time anyway - and judges and juries make their own decisions on who they choose to believe, so an oath is little more than an amusing ritual to solemnify the procedings. Religion should play no part.

This might be actionable for someone with the ambition to make a case for separation of church and state. But that person will not be I.

SUV whiners, definitely. Why? Becaue they bought the damned thing to begin with! Besides, SUV's cost a pretty penny, and hearing the well-off whine about prices is just like fingernails on the blackboard.

But you left off the most odious whiners of all: Christians who whine about Halloween being Satanic! They must all die, right now, preferably by swallowing a razor blade hidden in an apple.

Ridiculous how this poll was slanted. I happen to oppose abortion, the apolyton moderators, the environment, harry potter, people who can't spell, and high salaries. Somehow, FireDragon, I think you knew that.

And the fact that 16 of you communists voted me in as a 'whiner' just shows the intellect and thought process of this swampfest...this hellhole. I demand you all start petitions in the community forum for the ability to change votes with little "I'm sorry wiggy" tags attached, if for this purpose alone. Ridiculous, and only a miracle granted by an admin will somewhat remedy your disgrace to this country's constitution and to yourselves.

Brats.

Wow, get this guy to the hospital because if his heart bleeds anymore, he'll die...

* Middle Eat war protesters? - Morons with nothing better to do than be maggots. It's too bad these people weren't invited to a morning tour of the WTC or the Pentagon on the 11th of September. Maybe then they'd have another perspective.

* How are Christians insisting that the Government force their religion on anyone? This simply isn't happening. Just because someone says the word "God" or "Christ" shouldn't offend you. If it does, seek counseling. Oh, and Merry Christmas too.

* Affirmitive Action is discrimination on the basis of race. It's 's that simple. Now whether you agree with the need for it or not is another story. But you don't get it both ways.

* Tasteless jokes? - Please. Get a life. You are offended by everything. I hear that you can pick up some ear plugs (if not a sense of humor) at Wal-Mart for $.98.

* Wetlands? - Oh you mean the farmer who's told that he can't plant on land within 300 yard of that puddle that dried up two days after it rained last week. What's wrong with the word 'swamp' anyway? Oh that's right, it would be hard to get a protest march up to save the 'swamp', wouldn't it?
