Facetious thread with silly title, silly content, and smiley gets mistaken for serious post?!
Anyway, for more serious input: I still think the Oaths are nothing more than a badge. There is a theory that the Oaths do limit individuals, and while I follow that theory, one of my favourite characters happens to be bound by the Oaths and they haven't stopped her from being utterly brilliant.
At the end of it all, it is a mixed bag, though I think the characters haven't really given good weight to the matter.
Also nice attacks there Sidious, darius sedai and fionwe1984.
You guys seem to have massive chips on your shoulders and feel the need to belittle those who might not share your views at the drop of a hat!
Thanks!

It's Nynaeve's choice. As Egwene said, anyone who wants to call themselves Aes Sedai must swear. *NM*

Honestly why would it be Egwene who should be slapped?

Yes, what DID the woman who refused to even entertain discussion of ditching the Oath have to do?

Translation: Good point, I don't know what to say, so I''ll just say "blah blah blah"

If only you'd content yourself with replies like that... at least it was brief.

Did she -in all her grandness and wisdom- mention that Dream to Rand?

To answer your question, no, she didn't tell him about her dream. *NM*

Funny how Eggy -in Fionwe's own words- 'blanked' out her own Dream then!
