I'm not offended, bbc, and I see what you mean now. This thread occurred to me today as I was belting out some really loud Wolfe Tones, and realized that a) I am neither in favor nor opposed to getting the British out of Northern Ireland, I don't think it's my call to make, b) I am neither proCatholic nor proProtestant nor anti either of them individually, c) I am against advocating violence d) I am against using insulting terms for ethnic or other differences/minorities... yet I really, really like the music! Yikes!

On the other hand, I do find myself shielding (quote unquote) my children from some of the lurics (lurics are lurid lyrics, this started as a typo but I like the neologism) I would be willing to sing myself... so I guess I'm a total hypocrite! Epiphany! Luckily I have nothing against hypocrisy...
