I previously requested clarification about a thread in which the will of most people in the United States to support current drug laws was called "hypocritical", "pathetic" and "a joke."
You replied by asking me if those statements encouraged me to feel put down. I replied that they do. You still did not respond to either the thread in question or to my request for information about when it is okay in this forum to call certain laws "hypocritical" and "a joke."
Since people are allowed to write statements that might encourage me and the majority of voters in the United States to feel put down, I am now requesting that you clarify what other public policies I may call "hypocritical" and "pathetic" in the context of writing to this forum.
1. May I write in this forum that policy statements of those who oppose the drug war are "hypocritical", "pathetic" and "a joke" in the same way those who oppose the drug war may write here that those policies of duly elected officials are here "hypocritical", "pathetic" and "a joke"?
2. May I write in this forum it is "hypocritical", "pathetic" and "a joke" to engage in the war in Iraq?
3. May I write in this forum that laws permitting certain pharmaceuticals to be prescribed are "hypocritical", "pathetic" and "a joke"?
4. May I write in this forum that laws permitting certain pharmaceuticals not to be prescribed are "hypocritical", "pathetic" and "a joke", or is that privilage reserved people you consider to be "Very Important Posters"?
5. May I write in this forum that a particular elected official is "hypocritical", "pathetic" and "a joke"? ?
6. May I write in this forum that the policies of a particular elected official or political party are "hypocritical", "pathetic" and "a joke"?
