I thought Sarcasm was the unofficial national language of Austrailia ???
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Wrapped up in all the banning of everything that could be construed as in disagreement with the correct group think, is the fact that in order for someone to even be able to recognize Sarcasm you have to know that there is the possibility that ones opinion is not a universally held truth.  Doesn't that take enough of the sting out of the "violence"?

If sarcasm is violence why don't I have a long stretch of bodies in my past?
