What is your reaction?
This is a post about hatred and threats, not prejudice.
Someone in a friendly discussion group says that Harper should have his head cut off.
He goes on to say that that is only way to put an end to this blot on the body politic of Canada.
What is your reaction?
That was very funny.
That's not funny; it sounds like a threat.
I'm not sure if it was a joke or serious so I will keep quiet.
What if someone made the same comments about Barack Obama?

There are better ways to express oneself than to say that a politician (even a crappy one like Harper) should have his head cut off. This only serves to break down dialogue.
While I do agree with you, Lishai, it sounds to me like and dramatic magnification of the way the speaker is feeling--wanting Harper out.
I dont believe it to be a real threat; it is not a comment I would take seriously if I were in the conversation.
