Each individual 'related' has expressed the value, or belief, through public
action and statement, that it is permissible to kill strangers based on
personal opinion and dispute.
Political statement? Sure. Juxtaposition of concept as means of expression?
Indeed. Offensive? How could it be offensive, unless you happen to be one
of the named?

We are free, once again, to let literary juxtaposition play a role in our
interpretation. The only connection that exists between the two clauses is
entirely provided by the reader.
And if you are a member of a Christian homosexual congregation, then I am
sure that Michelle didn't mean anything personal by her sig. ;)
BTW, that quote is a very good (and old) stand-up joke, although we here are
presently disagreeing about who said it first.

I am not.

Isn't the use of hyperbolic language instead of reasoned reply considerably
more "venomous" -- or "striking" -- than a randomly displayed (but not
randomly collected) tag line?

Of course it's less hateful than racial epithets. What kind of question is
that?

I don't believe John is advocating murder, or terrorism. I could believe
that, certainly. But there is so much more in that ancient phrase to think
about.

Never play strip Tarot.
My single sister has three children and makes her living as a strip taroist
(she's in L.A.), and I think that this kind of cavalier besmirching of her
chosen profession is what is bringing a bad name to strip taroting
everywhere.

Is this an ad? Could it also be considered "offensive" to some?
(I'm only making a comparison, Malcolm. :)

I am sorry, J.R., but I can not see in what possible way you could be
insulted.
