Hey, the worst .sig I've ever seen is a horrid piece of libel against Islam posted all around Usenet by an idiot who goes by the name of Ubiquitous.
Killfile that subhuman mutant (unless you ate poison and need to hurl).

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.

Perhaps if Michelle's .sig had said that rather than naming names, it would not have offended. Remember Sinead O'Connor on SNL when she ripped a photo of the Pope? I believe that offended because it was a real photo. If it had simply been an artist's rendering of a generic pope, the correct message would have been received and people would not have gone into cardiac arrest over it. There's a book about papal infallibility and how that concept actually met with a lot of opposition when it was introduced (it did not always exist in Catholicism).

I believe you should only kill other people if they put cilantro in your food.
Otherwise, bring back the pillory! What better deterrent than humiliation?

>> Homosexuals do not recruit; Christians recruit.

BTW, that quote is a very good (and old) stand-up joke, although we here are
presently disagreeing about who said it first.

I never heard it before; and I find it interesting! And true!
It would be interesting to see a a list of which religions recruit (or proselytize/witness/knock-on-your-door) and which do not. :-)

> Is anyone else besides me offended by this?

I am not.

If you want to be offended, google usenet for Ubiquitous. ::gag,barf,cry::

> Is this venom

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?

> any less
> hateful that racial epithets

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

Why should I be tarred with the epithet "looney" merely because I have a pet halibut? I've heard tell that Sir Gerald Nabarro had a pet prawn called Simon, and you wouldn't call Sir Gerald a looney, would you? Furthermore, Dawn Palethorpe, the lady showjumper, had two clams both called Sir Stafford (after the late Chancellor), Alan Bullock had two pikes both called Norman, and the late, great Marcel Proust had an haddock! Sir, if you are calling the author of "A La Rercherche du Temps Perdu" a looney, I shall have to ask you to step outside.

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.

LOL. Hey, what's her "cups" size?

Anyone with three first names is likely a Marxist.
