Never said it was a good metaphor.

Rule for this society: "I just might kill someone" is not a good joke.
Rule for yourself: A society where "I just might kill someone" is a good joke is not a good society to be in.

Metaphors do not work well when there is a disease involved in which concrete interpretation of metaphorical statements is a common symptom.

(if you've ever had a therapist ask you to explain proverbs, they're testing for schizophrenia)

You think you're better than anybody? Because you can parrot childish fairy tales from a mediocre, 2,000 year-old self-help book? Get a ƒucking clue, if you're able (which I doubt). You can hide behind whatever books you like, it won't "fix" what's broken inside you.

So long as you are bleeding, that's all that matters.

"Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" (Matthew 22:21).

The red, white and blue are Caesar's. Do not be overly bothered by the earthly authority of government.

I agree with Flint. JBK is a piece of shit. But, unlike JB, shit can be useful.

Seems to be.

You know, like the aristocrat kind, not the hillbilly kind.

No offense to aristocrats or hillbillies, mind you.
